Only tho Aristocratio Boys Arc BIrched
In tho Public Schools

Only tho Aristocratio Boys Are BIrched
In tho Public Schools.
Flogging, once SO common in Eng
land, and especially in English schools,
is gradually dying out, much to the sat-
isfaction of the small boys, says the
New York Recorder. Since the aboli-
ton of corporal punishment in the army
and navy it is becoming eliminated from
all the educational ablishments fro
qucntcd by the children of the middle
and lower classes, as we'll as those of
national, municipal and charitable
character.
The aristocracy and upper classes,
however, refuse to take advantage of
the legal emancipation of their sons
from the rod. Their attitude on the
subject is mainly attributable to the
conservative instincts which are in
grained in ctcry Englishman of good
birth, whether wing or tory, and which
render him adverse to new forms or
changes of a non-political character.
1t is due in n measure also to desire
on the part of the lads themselves, who
are, of course, the principal parties con-
cerncd, to avoid becoming associated in
any way with the common herd of boys,
even when this association would in
volvc the exemption from Hogging.
They regard the latter as u privilege
belonging to their caste, would be the
first to rebel against it's abolition, and
pride themselves on the scars left by
the birch-scars which constitute II kind
of retrospective evidence of their gem
tilhommeric.
The present prime minister, Lord
Salisbury, was birchcd at Eton no less
than seven times, the master who in
flicted the castigation being still alive
Mt Oxford. On one memorable occasion
the head master at Elton logged whole
party OF thirty candidates for confirma-
ton, the paper with their names on it
being mistaken by him for the list for
punishment which was sont every day
to him. He would listen to no rcmon-
strapces, but went conscientiously
through the whole lot. Dukes and
commoncrs, boys Of fourteen and beard
cd youths OF twenty are alike subject
to these birchings, which, according to
schoolboy ethics, involve no dishonor
Indeed, boys look back upon punish
ment much in the same way as q soldier
does on his past years, and, as stated
above, the decorations of the skin are
regarded in the light of glorious wounds
The boys are just as proud Of them as
the German university student is of tho
scars on his face left by his adversary's
sword.

!. mo Strange Attachmcnt OF u Colored
Woman for u Snake.
Not long since farmer living near
Birdsong, Tenn, killed near his spring
rattlcsnalkc, says q correspondent of.
the ST. Louis Globc-Democrat. It was
brought to town, stuffed and hung in q
drug store. A popularity about it was
that it did not give the usual warning
when approached. After it was killed
this was accounted for by discovering
that it had been wounded some time in
tho past, scar being plainly visible.
After it had been hanging in the drug
store for some weeks colored woman
went to have prescription filled, and
while waiting noticed the snake. All
at once she became visibly affected
She held it in her hand, passed her hand
over it with great tenderness, while the
tears welled up in her eyes. She made
inquiries in regard to its history, and
then related the following:
''When was little girl lived with
my parents on the place where Mr..
Parish lives. Upon one occasion went
to the spring, which comes out of the
side of sandstone bluff, after the milk
that we kept in a box near by. In lift
ing it out spilled some on the ground.

where 1 left it for few moments.
When 1 returned noticed small
snake, not over foot long, drinking
the milk. Upon my approach it ran
under a large sandstone rock. The
next day and the next 1 poured milk
out and concealed myself and watched
it come out. This was repeated for
weeks, until it got quite gentle. The
next spring or summer I left milk on
the ground, and it came out. 1t APP
peared to know when 1 was coming and
became SO gentle that it would allow
me to handle it. I have played with it
for hours at n time, and watched it
grow year after year, until it was as
large as my wrist and longer than my
arm.
Upon one occasion, about the time I
usually went down, my father came by
the spring for drink, having hishoe
with him. My pet, thinking was near,
came out, but when it saw my father
started back. My father struck at it
with his hoe and nearly severed its tail
from its body. rmet him on his return
and he told me of the occurrence and
warned me to be careful. / was then O
great big girl and knew that it was a
rattlesnake and dangerous, but knew
that it would not harm me. was
afraid to tell the family that it was my
pet, for fear they would kill it. I went
to the spring and traced it under the
rock by the blood, but could not see it.

A Lucky Matchmnker.

King Christian, Of Denmark, has been
the luckiest of all men in marrying his
daughters. His eldest daughter shares
the throne OF the car of Russia, another
daughter is the wife of the future king
OF England, still another has prospects
OF becoming one day queen of Hanover
and the last one has married wealthy
French duke. Nor has King Christian
been less lucky in his sons. One of
them has been elected king of Greece,
and the eldest one, by marrying Scan
dinavian princess, may some day be the

Found q Lost Sister,

A Pittsburg dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle a few days ago
adds this new romance to Idaho's
Senatorial history: United States
Senator Shoup Of Idaho was the
central figure in rather romantic
incident here last week that has
only just come to light. 1t seems
that during the late war the Shoup
family lived in the South, and the
present Senator at the time the
trouble began joined the Union ar.
my. The other members of the
family drifted apart, and one sister
came to Allegheny, the resident
part of Pi.tsburg. She lost all trace
of the others, and finally, believing
them all to be dead, she married
Alderman Harrington of Allegheny,
who before many years committed
suicide. Later she married Coun-
Gilman McAfee Of Allegheny.
A few months ago she saw the
name of Senator Shoup in the pa
pers, and, thinking he might be a
relative, wrote him, and was pleas
antly surprised to find he was her
brother. He had gone through the
war, been Governor of Idaho Ter
ritory, and later became Senator.
He has just finished a visit to his
sister here, and not only has told
her of two other surviving brothers,
but assured her of her title to
share in the family estate, amount
ing to many thousands of dollars.
