Bohemia’s Rocky Maze.
The Rocky maze of Prachov, near
Jacin, in northern Bohemia, is a veri
table natural curiosity. It has been
well described as a gigantic “freak in j
stone.” To enter the labyrinth with
out a guide Ik a perilous proceeding,
for an unwary adventurer would prob
ably speedily be lost in the tortuous
windings of the maze, where the paths
I are so narrow and crooked and the
! cliffs on the side so high that the ex
1 piorer soon loses all idea of locality
In days of fiery persecution the Mora
1 viau and Bohemian brethren s seciet
prayer meetings used to he held here,
just as the early (’hristiaus assembled
to worship in the catacombs. I he
cliffs are honeycombed with cells, anti ;
at the far end of the maze Is a rock
castle, where in the old days a robber
| baron lived and took toll of all way
farers. The shape of some of the .
rocks Is very curious There are. for j
Instance, the “bishop and miter.” the ,
“Madonna and the child” and many
i others. — Loudon Sketch.
Portugal’s Prison of Silence.
Entombed in a grim castle on the
outskirts of Lisbon art* some of the
' most miserable men on earth. These
! are inmates of Portugal’s “prison o!
silence.” In this building everything
that human ingenuity can suggest to
i render tin* lives of its prisoners a hor
rihle, maddening torture is done. The
1 corridors, piled tier on tier five stories
! high, extend from a common center
like the sjK>kes of a huge wheel. The
cells are narrow, tomblike, and within
each stands a coffin. The attendants
creep about in felt slippers. No one Is
allowed to utter a word. The silence
is that of the grave. Once a day the
cell doors are unlocked, and the half
thousand wretches march out. clothed
in shrouds and with faces covered by
masks, for it is part of this hideous
punishment that none may lock upon
the countenance of his fellow prison
i t»rs. Few of them endure this torture

Rarely does a man who wears
ready-made clothing look right
in it. It was not made for Him,
and no matter how well it may
apparently fit, the fact remains
that when the suit “settles” and
loses its ironed false form, it
will cave in here, bag there and
wrinkle somewhere else.
Clothes made-to-measure by

are not “just-as-good” as the “store-box
—they are unqualifiedly BETTER in fit,
individuality and style. But the price is
reasonable.
