A good story is told of a Judg’e visiting a penal institution. Being pi’actically disposed. the learned .judge philanthropically trusted himself on the “treadmill ” desiring the warder to set it in motion. The machine was accordingly adjusted, and His Lordship commenced to lift his feet. In a few minutes, however, the new hand had had quite enough of it, and called to be released, but this was not so easy. “ Please my lord,” said the man, you can’t get off. It’s set for twenty minutes. That’s the shortest time we can make it go.” So the Judge was in durance until his “ term ” expired.
