The CHASTITY Movement That Pre-
walls at au English Funeral.
Referee.
1t has been asserted with tedious tier
alton that the English people take their
pleasures sadly. No one will deny the
truth of the indictment. but it is sell
dom urged that i'll revenge we take our
sadness pleasantly. Nevertheless, an
English funeral is frequently merry
making. a lovial excuse for dance and
song and the passing of the flowing
bowl. To go To a funeral is with some
of us equivalent 10 going out for fes-
tive holiday.

the manners and customs of the English

RAsCAcLIrY OF SOME BOYS.
Their Latest Device for Making
a Pauic at Il supper Table.

Chicago Herald.
1t takes the average small boy to con-
coct schemes 10 surprise his elders. One
of the newest schemes of this sort is
being practiced by select coterie of
youngsters who reside up on one of
the South Side avenues. If they keep
it up they will doubtless acquire
one of the sOundest cases
OF humping ever administered to
q boy or set of boys. Their modus
operandi is this: They first steal, beg
or borrow some laths, and on the end of
each lath they bunch the remains of a
newspaper. Then they prowl about
their neighbOrh00d. somewhere near G
p. m, and peer into unprotected win
dows. When they see family at sup
per they quietly strike matches and
ignite their newspapers, after which
they elevate their laths in front of the
windows and utter the most fiendish
yelIs.
This noise attracts the attention of the
supping family, and, of course, they see
the flaming papers Just outside of their
windows. For Il moment or two they are
alarmed by the unusual spectacle, but
when the head of the house realizes that
he has been scared by aboyish prank he
grabs a heavy cane and starts for the
door, only TO find that the youngsters
have made good their escape, accom-
panying their departure with derisive
yells. But some night the man of the
house will get good start. and when he
does ne will warm the Jackets of the
youthful creators of new sensation.
