Cavalryman Dragged to Death ~ Fu-

CavaIryman Dragged to Death ~ Fu-
rious stations Heels.
The murder IF French cavalryman
named Cheymol by his superior officers
In Africa brings out story that re-
minds one of 18th century practices In
the British navy. Official reports sent
to France told of Cheymol's death, but
gave no particulars. Queer rumors,
however, found their way to Paris, and
but a short time since the dead mans
brother made an Interpolation to the
chamber of deputies and demanded an
investigation The result was that the
whole thing leaked out. A dark blot
stains the military repute of France. If
IL is removed the foreign legion will
doubtless have . new colonel before
long.
This Cheymol, it appears, was found
guilty of minor breach of discipline.
On the African station commanding
officers are not bound strictly by the
regulations Of the service. They have
introduced punishments according to
their own ideas. One of these is the
"Mazeppa ride" and Cheymol was SEN
fenced to il.
An unshod stallion was brought into
ring, as was the prisoner. They
stripped the man and tied his hands.
With strap they fastened his bound
hands to the stations tail. The sem
tence read "to be dragged three times"
round the ring. The colonel of the le-
gion, who was present with his staff,
gave the word and the fierce horse was
loosed. He Immediately began to lash
out and plunge, but with whips they got
him started. Terrified at being unable
to free himself from the thing on his
tail he dashed off frantic. Before the
third circuit Cheymol was insensible
and covered with blood. The horse
wore neither halter nor bride, and it
took long while to catch him. When
they did he was dragging corpse.
Both officers and men took this as a
matter of course.
French officers are not usually in
human to their men, and the barbar-
legion force the conclusion that the
rough life on the African station has
brutalized them.
If the Cheyn,ol episode were not
for by the semi-official notice
which has already been taken of ii the
story would seem almost incredible.
Perhaps the worst part of IL is that the
execution of the sentence should be
looked upon rather as an entertain
ment. 1t is said that not only do the
officers Of the post attend these "Mazep-
pa rides" as idle spectators, but that
too, are often present. The
spectacle is treated like bull fight.
This inhuman punishment is not the
only matter which needs the attention
Of the French war minister. Flogging
Of the severest kind is ordered for the
most trifling offenses. The effect, Of
is demoralizing alike on men
md officers. The men it cows; the Off
,ers it brutalizcs. Neither rank nor
file of such sort are very effective

A SPANISH FETE.
One No Longer Hears the Guitar and the
Castanets.

Ono No Longer Hears the Guitar and the
Castanets-
Another time we went down to a fete in
the Plaza Nueva, the square in front OF
the governor generals palace at the
foot Of the hill. 1t was held after dark,
which was an inducement for us TO go.
The walters, from whom we got all the
gossip we ever heard, said that il had
something to do with Columbus; it
might be the little affair of the egg, the
discovery of America, or his own death,
or anything else, for all they knew OF
cared. The celebration itself did not
help to explain matters. Lanterns hung
from every tree in the plaza There
was crowd of water-carriers and dom
keys, and women, and priests, and chill
dren, and soldiers, and men selling big
round cakes that looked like understood
New England pies with nothing inside.
Rockets were let off at rare intervals,
and band, all drums and cymbals,
played with just such hrazen, barbar
Gus beating and clashing as the Moors
must have made as they marched past
to one of their periodical musters in
the Vivarambla. That was all, so that
the connection with Columbus was not
very obvious.
But the prettiest part of the pageant
was on our way back, when, at the top
of the Gala de los Gomeres, we saw a
group of girls in the gateway, a white
barricade against the darkness of the
wood. They broke away, dancing as we
came, and we followed them up the
steepest of the three parting roads in
pursuit of distant sound of music.
The scene held out promise of the ira
ditional Spanish night attuned to the
click of castanets and the drumming
of guitars. But within the Alhambra's
Enclosure we found nothing more ro-
mantle than man with an accordion,
and few couples waltzing under the
trees. For the national dance and song
the stranger must go to the show held
by guides and gypsies somewhere on the
Albaycin; it is supposed to be improper,
though it is at the most only stupid, and
for this you must pay in pesetas.
But never once in Granada's open
streets and courts, or in those of any
other Andalusian town, did we hear
the castanets and guitars that play so
seductively through the Andalusia of ro-
nance and Murray. That they should
still be expected really shows how hard
tradition dies. "Am /, then, come into
Spain to hear humstrums and hurdy-
gurdies?' Rockford asked Indignantly
a hundred years ago. But every new
traveller goes to the country, sure that
for him at least there will he tho Sxyaot

Spanish Cookery.

/ do not believe that anyone, not even
Washington Irving, ever remained so
long on the Alhambra's hill. The man
ager grew SO used to us that he gave up
providing the French dishes prepared
for the tourist; now the walters brought
only their own extraordinary messes,
golden with saffron, scarlet with pep
per, soft with oil, fragrant with garlic,
most of which had hitherto been re-
served for the family dinner in the

on Friday, and very flnmbouyant was
our abstinence. In fact, for those who
