RUsE OF A DRUMMER BOY.
His Body Found Among the Fallen
Hungarian Guards.

From the London Daily News
Another name is added to the list of bow
heroes of the French wars by the death Of
a drummer boy at the siege of Maubeuge.
100 years ago. The circumstances, over
looked at the time. were brought to light
by modern historians Of the French reyolu-
ton.
Strauh. or Stroh. as it is also spelt, was a
drummer OF fourteen in the French royal
Swedish regiment. 1t was on October IL
l'9- The Army of the Convention had I'M
dertaken to raise the siege of Maubeuge by
the Austrians. and Strauh's regiment had
been sent to occupy the village Of Dourlers
regardless OF danger. the young drummer
shipped through the lines OF Austrian skir-
mishers by hedges and bitches. and reached
the center OF the village. where he proceeded
TO perform on his drum rafting call to
arms
The enemy, believing that the French had
occupied the village, retreated in disorder
This enabled the French to get up to the
hrSt houses of the village Py this time
the Austrians had discovered how they hssi
been played with, and were in no hunor to
forgive the author OF their defeat. Strauh
ran for his life. but too late. Surrounded in
front of the church by Hungarian grena-
erai of his assailants
a peasant hidden in a loft had witnessed
the whole scene. Some years later in the
army he met Strauh's brothers, who were
aware that the drummer boy had been
killed, but were ignorant of the circum
stances of his death until the peasant told
them. In 1887. in opening the ground in
'front.' OF the Church of Dourlers a hov's
skeleton was found among the bodies or
seven Hungarian grenadiers. Thus the
peasants story, which it appeared impos-
ton.

Animal Talk.
he Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
1t will be remembered that when some
time ago Prof Garner went to Africa to
study the monkey Ian guage there were
many newspaper jokes perretrated at his
expense. But Paul du Chaillu, who has
spent much Of his life in Africa, believes
that Garner is right in his theory Of the
existence of monkey language, although
he does not commit himself to the notion
tnat II Is possible for man to acquire that
language. When there are SO many in
stances of horses, dogs and other animals
learning so much of human language as to
promptly obey commands given, it would
be unreasonable to suppose that they had
not some kind of q language of their own.
The warning notes of danger that a hen
gives TO her chicks when a hawk is near,
the warning that some snakes give to their
young, upon which the latter take refuge
down their mothers throat, and many
other instances prove the existence OF an
animal language but that does NOT nrova
that man can acquire It
