PRACTICAL JOKING IN THE ENGLISH

Woolwich and Sandhurst-perhaps Sandhurst
especIally-have the most appalling traditions OF
practical Joking ms practised inthe Old times, twenty
or thirty years ago. The young fellows lived q
kind of military mOnastc life. had nothing to refine
them and not much to amuse them except bully
ing and mapractces. The pretty island in the lake
at Sandhurst is said to have witnessed scenes which
it is quite impossible to report. Newly joined
cadets were called "NewIesD and were kept IN
order with ferocity scared known TO Winchester
in the good old times o. the Long chamber at
Eton Buckled belts and brass-tipped wickets were
freely used by the Seniors as instruments OF cor
Iecti0a. We do not know whether the scene in Mr..

nearly murder each other, is effort OF memory or
of imagination. 1t Is certain that the oral tradi-
ton of men scarcely middleaged is rich in similar
stories The Chinese knife-thrOwinR Tuck was

Rats Who Enjoyed Fun.

A good rat story is told by a lady who
lives in Baltimore, which shows that
rats have a kind of humor about them
at times, which they will exercise even
to the extent of forgetting their plum
dering propensities. In the house of
this lady was child's rocking-horse and
every night the rats would jump on the
rocking-horse and start it rocking and
rock it for hours, seemingly with the
greatest enjoyment in the world. At
first, hearing the noise, the people
couldn't imagine the cause, and didn't
knowsbut the spirits had had a hand in
it; but when they cautiously peered out
and saw the performance, it became one
of the marvels Of the neighborhood to
see the rats in their gambols enjoying
themselves, laughing and having their
fun rocking the horse.
