The Lash in Germany.

The lash has never been abolished as
a means of discipline in penal iustitu-
tions of Germany. Generally they use
thong twenty inches long, fastened
to handle yard long. The lash is
thickest at the end. The thickness
varies according to the provinces. Bat
the smallest laSheS are two inches
thick. Only in Saxony are the dimen-
sions fixed by law, the handle there
being thirty-nine inches long, and the
lash thirty-six inches. The maximum
number of blows is left to the judg-
ment of the prison directors, but it
must not exceed twenty-five in Neck

Saxony. and sixty in Prussia

"SIe and Jin.-

Half dozen of us stood at the door
of the Erie passenger depot in Buffalo.
when we saw tramp bearing down
upon us. There was considerable
comment on his looks. and some
guessing as to- what excuse he would
urge. and as he came up one of the
boys said:
'.Come. now. but you want to get on
to Cleveland TO see your wife die. don't

is the man who never recovered from

The tramp looked from one to the
other with very serious face. and when
the laugh had died away he said:
Gentlemen YOU are all off. If you
have five minutes TO spare please come
with me-
We followed him through the depot
and out into the Yards, and there on a
platform was something covered with
a tarpaulin He raised this. and we
saw the crushed and mangled remains
of a man.

Flowers as Political Emblcms.

One result of the election has had a
strange effect on the flower market in
Paris. Since the election the price of
red carnations has gone down like the
shares of bubble company. While
the white carnation is quoted in the
Marche aux fleurs at the respectable
figure of l franc dozen, the red is
offered freely at no more than sous.
Neither in Paris nor anywhere else does
anybody care to be identified with the
symbol of failure.

VICTORIOUS FOOTBALL MEN.
THE HARVARD AND YALE ELEvENs.

PLAYERS WHO STAND HIGH AS ATHLETES IN
THE CoLLDGEs-soME OF THEIR WORK.
After battle come the sketches Of the heroes
who took part in it, and herewith is presented 'ne
story of the lives of the warriors OF Harvard ana
Yale who fought the battle of Springfield yee'er-
day. There has not been before this time IN
the history of Harvard and Yale when their an
nual football game attracted SO much aueh-
ton or created much eXcitemeno as
the great contest of November % 1890. Inc
Harvard men were trained on the regulation iale
plan that was practically introduced at Cambridge
in 1886 by Captain w. A. Brooks, and which
created fresh interest in football at Cambridge.
The system was developed by Captain Holden,
who has been followed by worthy successor,
Captan Arthur j. Cumnock, who has trained two
teams on this plan for the last two years. Cum
mock had old men under his command yesterday,
while Captain Rhodes had seven new players.
Rhodes had much to contend with when the sea-
son opened, but he worked desperately, and
eventually placed fine team in the field.
The two elevens are excellent types Of sturdy
American college athletes. The majority Of them
are good students and good fellows. The best
known man either team, and probably I
