Odd Feat of MISUNDERSTANDING
Spring.
One OF the most common tricks that en-
zines play is that OF running away The
engineer will close the valves and get out
OF the cab. leaving her standing quietly
and submissyely, and all Of sudden she
/ takes a notion to run away, and the next
thing he knows she Is shooting up the
track at the top OF her speed, aud when
she gets away she generally keeps ON run
ming until her steam gives out. That may
not be until she has run into another
train. but little does she care for conse-
auences; she IL Off ON "a tear and she

engines DO this or how il n mystery How
the throttle can open itself or how the EN-
CINE can run with its throttle closed 10
beyond the ken of engineers, but they do
II and sometimes play havoc, too. They
generally pick the time when they have
been on their good behavior for few
days, aud when their masters confidence
in them Is high, 10 play this particular
prank, and therefore they are generally
successful when they try IT,
Another trick they have is that OF
"foaming." Without any warning or APP
J parent reason the water in the boiler will
begin to foam instead OF making steam,
and IL will bubble up like the boiling
water In teakestle, and look like a very
much disturbed tub of soapsuds. No
: steam can be obtained from foamng

do IN to let IL run out and turn In fresh
supply; but that takes time and causes q
delay, and all for whimsical notion
that the engine got into her hard head.

s"The history of modern military tourna-
ments extends over no more than IA years
An impulse tending to develop this move
ment was given by the Fifth Lancers, who,
on their return from India in 1875 intro
duced tent pegging at Birmingham.
This exercise of dexterity, familiar enough
was fresh to the majority of English
folk, and it took their fancy at once. The
exhibition of the great picture Missed
fred the imagination of gay troopers who
were anxious to emulate the deeds OF Bengal
lancers and Royal Irish at tent pegging
From that time all mounted branches OF the
service began. to practise it, and, mainly to
show their skill with the lance, many
officers organized a military tournament for
two days only at Lille Bridge the follow
ing year tor some charitable affair. The
spectacle attracted all fashionable London.
The Lancers have since then seen sterner
work than jousts in the fitting ring, and
know that two of them played their parts
manfufly in desperate encounter on the
African sands, where skill gained at regi-
mental Journeys served them well.
Tent Pegging by British Soldiers.
"Will tent pegging be done here the same
as in the English tourneys?"
'Yes. The seat from the hips downward
should be immovable, the body bent well
down to the right rather than forward, its
sway being we'll supported by the lett Ley;
the handling OF the lance easy and free, the
right arm slightly bent, the hand just in
front Of the instep and the lance pointed

Bound to perpetual maidenhood, they

are occasions, however, when violation of
these VOWS is permitted and the moral code
is completely relaxed. When the King

agents are permitted to use any inducement

RAPID TRANSIT AND EDUCATION.

Demand for the Other.

wilkinsburg Finds That One Increases the
Demand for the Other.
The rapid increase of Wilkinsburg's
population is shown by the fact that the
School Board expects soon to be compelled
to put up third schoolhouse. The board
has approved the deed of the lot purchased
from the Williamsburg Presbyterian Church,
at the corner of South and Center streets, in
the very heart of the borough, and will hold
the property until it is necessary to build q
new schoolhouse. The lot is 132 feet square,
and the value of it is placed at $3.50. Only
last year Williamsburg built q second school
house. the one that had been enough for a
number of years proving inadequate in the
face of the vast increase of population.
This is traced to the effect of rapid transit,
and it is expected that the new school
house talked about on the recently acquired
property will be brick and mortar fact
within a year or two.

Human ~acrifice in Dahomey.
Human sacrifices are feature of the re-
ligious customs In Abomey, during the
annual sacrifices, 500 or more victims are
put to death, to appease the gods and carry
messages TO the Kings ancestors in the
other world. These sacrifices are very
elaborate and one of them is illustrated
here. The victims, tied hand and foot,
are fastened into the baskets, and carried to
the top of a platform 20 feet from the
ground. Here the King, under his UNI
brella of state, imparts the messages he de-
sires the victim to take to the other world.
They are then raised aloft and dashed to
the ground, where crowd of Amazons and
common people rush with the greatest fury
upon the poor wretches, cut off their heads,
and often divide their bodies into many
pieces
Governor Bayol, while in Abomey, in
1890, was a spectator of this scene. He says
that he saw an Amazon about 10 years old
