THE late poet Tennyson was fond ol
his pipe, which was his inseparablc
companion, but fonder of pretty wom-
en-, TO whom he was always ready to
grant any favor. lie was particularly
susceptible to the charms of the other
sex, and was as gallant TO them as n
young beau. 1t is said that Mr. DAILY
could never have persuaded Tennyson
to write mis- Robin Hood drama, The
Foresters," if he had not taken Miss
Ada Rehan with him to lay siege to the
poets heart. In his later years he was
sometimes harsh and discourteous to
strangers, for it had happened too sttcn
that they had abused his courtesy.

As THE price of aluminium declines il,
is being used for greater variety of
purposes. In several European coun-
tries many portable articles that are
required to be strong and which it is
desirable to have light arc made of this
material. Many things which German
soldiers have TO carry on their marches
are now made of it. An experiment is
being made in Russia in using alumni
mum shoes for cavalry horses. They
are lighter than shoes of iron and last
much longer. II is likely that alumni
mum will become so cheap that it will
take the place of iron and wood in the
manufacture of many articles.

Curiositics of Grave Robbing.

Under the laws of Draco, which you
will remember as being the most severe
code ever drawn up. all grave robbers
were put to death without trial. The
old Athenian laws put a slave to death
for disturbing body after interment;
but, in the case of a freeman, ''confis-
cation of his possessions" ayas the PEN
atty. CONSTANT e decreed that wom-
an might obtain divorce il she could
prove that her husband had disturbed
the remains of the dead At one time
lin the time of the seventh and eighth
Hcnrys) the English law held that 1t
is deemed unlawful to open a grave for
o second person, except for a husband
or wife" IL | have not been misin-
formed, grave robbers in this country
only lay themselves liable to ! fine and
IMPRISONMENT for short time, unless
it can be proven that they took the
grave clothes along with the body.
For this reason, ghouls (real profession
als) always strip the remains stark
naked before depositing them in the
"long sack" preparatory to their re-
movaI to some medical coilege.-St
Louis Republic.

THERE is something almost pathetic
AMI something illustrative, too of the
Tact that we do not always recognize
the degree of irresponsibility of the son
or grandson of the savage, in the fact
that two negroes hanged in Greensboro,
5 C., requested that the execution be
public and that they might make
speeches They had not much idea. ap-
parently, of the enormity of their
crime. and their vanity made them
seek to have the occasion rendered
memorable. So the gallows was placed
on an elevation, allowing 10000 pco-
pie to witness the hanging, and there
was made an end of the two murderers.
