Leaping Treason.

King William III was passionately fond
of the chase and madeNit point never to
be outdone in any leap however perilous.
A Mr.. Cherry, who was devoted to the ex-
lied family, took advantage Of this to plan
the most pardonable design which was
ever formed against kings life. He
regularly joined the royal hounds, put
himself foremost and took the most des-
perate leaps, in the hope that William
might break his neck in following him
One day, however, he accomplished one so
imminently dangerous that the king,
when he came to the spot, shook his head
and drew back. It is said that Mr. Cherry
at length broke his own neck and thereby
relieved the king from further hazard

SKULL OF SIR THOMAS BROWNE.

iFrom the Yarmouth Mercury.l
Considerable interest has been ex-
cited in Norwich by a dispute concern
ing the skull of Sir. Thomas Browne,
the writer of "Relyigio'' Medici. His
body was inferred in the chancel of
st. Peter Mancroft Church, about a.
couple. of centuries ago; and in 1910
some workmen. in digging a vault,
broke the lid of the coffin. The re-
mains were examined by a local anti
quarry. who ordered the coffin and its
contents to be reinterred. 1t appears.
however. that the sexton took posses
sion of the skull. which was purchased
by a celebrated Norwich surgeon. and
on his death was handed over to the
Norfolk and Norwich hospital museum,
where it now remains.
Recently the attention of the vicar
of st. Peter was called to the circum-
stances. and. naturally regarding the
removal as an act of dissertation and
dishonor. the vestry requested the hos
pital authorities to restore the skull
of this illustrious man to its resting
place. This application, however, has
been refused. At another vestry meet
ing it was agreed, by eight votes to
six. that no further steps should be
taken. The vicar has expressed his
intention of consulting Sir Walter Phil
limore on the matter.

FRENCH AND GERMAN ARTILLERY
[From the Saturday Reviewl

[From the Saturday Review.]
1t must never be forgotten that dur
ing the memorable campaign of twenty
four years ago there was usually moth
ing at all approaching an artillery
duel. The French guns were so much
inferior as regards ballistic qualities.
and their handling was SO Indifferent,
that 1t was in general not so much a.
matter of graphing with them as of
knocking them fiat down at once. The
vanquished batteries were in the ma
jor1ty of cases armed only with muzzle-
loading four-pounders, deficient both in
power and in range. But they were
even more hopelessly handicapped in
the matter of fuses, perhaps the most
important adjuncts in the gunner's
armory.
A time fuse which is so constructed
that it can only be made to act at two
ranges, and these so widely separate
as 1000 and 1900 meters, is, indeed, a
hopeless ally, and this was what was
then to be found in the French limber-
boxes. No wonder that the Germans
found shells bursting either far in front
Of them or long distances in rear, and
that 1t was only exceptionally bad luck
which brought a crash of flying spIint-
ers about their ears. No wonder, too.
that the Frenchmen declared it impos-
sible to aid their observations, such as
all gunners use in the present day.
More than once did they endeavor, with
all possible gallantry, to tackle their
opponents; but, with such instruments.

WATER YOUR HORSES OFTEN.

TFrom Our Dumb Animals1
Feeding a horse principally on grain
and driving it five hours without water
is like giving man salt mackerel for
dinner and not allowing him to drink
before supper time-very unsatisfactory
for the man. If you know anything
about the care of horses and have any
sympathy for them, water them as
often as they want to drink-once an
hour, if possible. By doing this you
will not only be merciful to your ami
mails, but you will be a benefactor to
yourself, as they will do more work.
look better and live longer. If you are
a skeptic and know more about horses
than any one else, you are positive that
the foregoing is wrong, becase you
have had horses die with watering them
too much, and boldly say that the agi-
tators of frequent watering are fools in
your estimation, and you would not do
such a thing. Just reason for a mo-
ment and figure out whether the ami
NAL would have overdrunk and over
chilled his stomach if it had not been
allowed to become overthirsty
A driver who sits in his wagon and
lashes his wornout, half-curried, half
fed and half-watered team deserves to
be punished as a criminal.

NO BEANS FOR EGYPTIANS.

BOCanV,I
We can no longer wonder at the pro
hibition of these beans (Cyamus nelum-
boz to the Egyptian priests and disci-
pies of Pythagoras. A plant consecra-
ted to religious veneration as an en-
blem of reproduction and fertility
would be very improper for the food.
or even the consideration of persons
dedicated to peculiar purity. The
Egyptian priests were not even allowed
to look upon it. Authors scarcely ex-
plain sufficiently whether Pythagoras
avoided it from respect or adherence.
However that may be, we need not. in
order to ascertain his motives. have
recourse to any of the five reasons sup
posed by Aristotle nor to the coniec-
lures of Cicero.
Neither can there be any doubt that
the prohibition given by Pythagoras
was literal. and not merely allegori-
cal, as forbidding his followers to eat
this kind of pulse because the magis-
trates in some places were chosen by
la ballot with black and white beans.
thereby giving them to understand
that they should not NEEDLE with public
affairs. Such far-fetched explana lions
show the ingenuity of commentators
rather than their knowledge. AS the
Pythagorean prohibitions are now OBJ
solete. perhaps these beans, imported
from India, might not be unwelcome at
out tables.

County Warrants.

That Salt Lake county warrants are
considered a good investment by east
ern people is evidenced by the fact that
w. L. DYKES appeared at the city and
county building and purchased $1,000
worth at 9Sh. The usual buyers were
unpreDared for this act and Immediate
ly raised the price to 9S%. w. L. held
his ground and PROMPTLY offered SO.
This staggered the others and they re-
tired from the field. after making the
assertion that the gentle William was
standing in with the bosses to obtain
control of the warrant business.
DYKES asserts that the county war
rants. bearing as they do per, cent
Interest, are considered a good ex-
Denditure of eastern money, which
rarely draws more than per cent
This fact coupled with the other as
sertion that no recording fees are nee
essary to protect the investor, has been
the cause of opening the eastern eye
to a good thing
