TIE SWITCH PARADE.
The Origin of Ancient Swiss Celebra

The Origin of Ancient Swiss CeIebra-
This is the story. says Harper's
Young People told by an old Swiss
chronicle:
The mag istrates of the Swiss town
of Brugg assembled in council and
resolved 30 raise forest OF oak trees
o. the common.
Then citizens sailed forth on rainy
day made holes IN the ground with
canes and sticks dropped an acorn in
every hole and trampled the dirt
down with their feet Thus they
sowed upwards of twelve sacks OF
acorns; and when the work was done
each citizen received wheaton roll
as treat the expense being betrayed
by the town treasury.
Alas. the acorns lay too deep in the
ground which besides had been
trodden down TO firmly by so many
feet; the seeds never came up.
The thrifty townspeople then raised
crop of rye and oats on the common.
After the harvest they plouPhed the
soil. and sowed acorns in the burrows
But luck even now turned against
them. Only a few acorns came up
while the grass grew ali over the
common.
The townspeople made hay in due
season. carefully sparing the infant
oaks when they moved. 1t was no
use! The rank weeds soon killed
them all.
After this second failure the men,
bers of the council put their wise
heads together and resolved to try a
new way, for an oak grove they were
bound to have.
On the twentieth day of October, In
the year OF our Lord 1882. the whole
community marched out to the woods
Men, women, and children dug up oak
saplings and transplanted them on
the common The citizens worked
with a vail. In the evening every
boy and girl was given a wheaton roll
to remember this arbor day while
the men and women partook OF q
merry supper in the town-halL
Now the oaks did grow. says the
chronicle.
The Brugg people were so pleased
with this final success that they de-
cided to institute the anniversary of
this arbor day in 1882 as holiday in
their town for all times to come
Year after year young people
marched in parade to the oak grove.
and returned home carrying oak
twigs, or switches as proof that the
trees grew apace; aud year after year
a wheaton roll was given by the town
to every boy and girl, to be eaten in
remembrance of arbor day.
This ancient custom has been kept
up faithfully through the centuries.
and still exists under the name of the
Switch Parade

Wrack In MARYLAND.

HAGERsTowN, Md, May ia seri
GUS wreck occurred on the Norfolk &
Western road at Mondel's Switch,
about ten miles south of Hagerstown,
last night, in which Capt. Hays of
Philadelphia, the conductor of the
train. lost his life and several others
were seriously if not fatally injured.
All of the train except one coach and
sleeper passed the switch in safety,
when in some way that cannot be ex-
planned, the switch was opened and the
rest of the train ran in on the siding,
and the smoking car on the train was
completely demolished.

with calmness and confidence. He
got into the saddle as lightly and
gracefully as trick rider and sailed
away like swallow. He turned and
came back, look of triumph on his
face and when he went past his
friend he sad with an air of great en-
ioyment: I've already got to the

quietly. Now get Of. "
But look of pain came into the
others face. He had forgotten about
that clause in the condition. He did
not try to get off just then. He went
little distance up the road and then
came back. He slowed down until
the machine began to wobble, and then
he started up suddenly. He tried to
make up his mind to get off several
times. but his courage failed him, and
his heartless friend watched him with
calm smile around his lips.
