The Weather.

Lieut. Charles "W. McKim, Portland, Ky., states: “For twenty years I suffered with rheumatism. During the bad weather my suffering was terrible. I was about to give up. Some one suggested the application of St. Jacobs Oil. I tried it and its relief was rapid. In half an Uour I oould stand up. I no longer suffer with the pains. ” The Chaplain of the Southern Illinois Penitentiary, in his biennial reEort, recommends that criminals be ept in confinement until they are thoroughly reformed, whether the time be two years or twenty. He argues that the safety of society demands the perpetual confinement of the hardened and hopeless criminal, and that if there is no chance for his reformation no good to the man or the community is accomplished by sentencing him to hard labor for a limited period, and then setting him loose to repeat his evil deeds.
