From this engine these two buildings are warmed by means of steam pipes, the boiling in the wash-room being done by the same. The hall is furnished with a steam boiler, which not only warms that, but also the guard and reception rooms, and the chapel, and the steam is used in the men's cook room, all other warming and heating in the prison being done by wood fires.

"Oh, no!" said the lawyer, smiling, "any one might have met with the same fate: dreadful town, Wilkesbarre is, dreadful! Have you had any dinner, Ralph?" "No, sir," said Ralph, "I haven't." "Well, come into my wash-room and brighten yourself up a little. You're somewhat travel-stained, as it were." In ten minutes Ralph reappeared, looking clean and comparatively fresh.

It was a rag ancient and slate-gray, grotesquely stiff and grotesquely hairy at its frayed edges a corpse of a scrub-rag in rigor mortis.
The feeble men are employed in light work about the hall, such as dusting, carrying water to the cells, whitewashing, sweeping, &c., or in repairing clothes. Two able-bodied men are required in the cook room, another in the wash-room and to do chores, and part of the time still another.
