The ancients looked on Death as
''the daughter of Fight, the sister of
Sleep and. the friend of the unhappy"
Their artists pictured the grim mes
senger who knocks with equal foot at
the cots of the poor and the palaces OF
the rich, as a drowsy, poppy-crowned
youth, not as q feshless monster, such
as horrifes us moderns. The Greeks
called their burying ground Coenet-
trion, "'the sleeping place." from
which comes our word cemetery. The
old Jews, who had no horror of the
grave, called it Bethaim, "the house
of the living" The Germans, with
roetical simplicity, call the graveyard
"God's Acre." or "feld." The Ara
paho Indians call the grave "The
Spirits birthplace" In Morocco they
never say a man is dead, but that "his
destiny mas closed" and the grave is
siwhere he ponders." The burial
grounds of to-day are the most beauti-
full parks near the cities of civilized
lands, but there are those who believe
that burying must soon give place to
cremation Indeed, societies are formed
for that purpose, and we are told that
cinerary urns will take the place of
tombstones. But the fashions of bur-
ial seem to be as unchangeablea as death
hinself.-New York Ledger.

Legal Status Of DOGS,

The owner of a valuable Newfound-
land dog in New Orleans sought dam
ages from a railroad company for kill
ing it. The case turned on the validity
of an act of the Louisiana Legislature,
recognizing dogs rs personal property
only when placed on the assessment
rolls. The Supreme Court sustains the
law and refuses damages, since the dog
was not assessed, incidentally defining
the law in regard to dogs in general as
follows: 1.-The very fact that they are
without protection of the criminal laws
shows that property in dogs is of al
imperfect or qualified nature, and that
they stand, as it were, between ami
mails ferae ~naturae, in which, until
subdued, there is no property, and
domestic animals, in which the right of
property is complete. They are not
considered as being upon the same
plane with horses, cattle, sheep and
other domestic animals, but rather in
the category of cats, monkeys, parrots,
singing birds and similar animals kept
for pleasure, curiosity on caprice. I'M
like domestic animals, they are useful
neither as beasts Of burden, for draft,
MOI for food.

Club lines. The real difficulty will be
for the club members and their guests
at the meet to separate themselves
from the crowd of cyclists who would
infest the park on such an occasion.
Miss Russell's suggestion is that the
club should invent a really smart uni.
form dress for the ladies, and one for
men as much unlike the cap and

THE ARMY SHOE.
An Old Soldier Recalls His Experience
With Footwear.

An Old Soldier Recalls His Experience
With Footwear.
"The first pair Of shoes I had in the
army" said an old soldier in the New
York Sun, "were two sizes too big for
me. Iwore skies; my first army shoes
were Fights. I didn't take them from
choice-I got the nearest I could to
my size. We were being fitted out
from head to foot for the first time;
that was when we were mustered in;
and the required numbers of pairs Of
shoes, of assorted sizes, had been de.
livered to each company. When 1 got
at them they had been culled over so
much that there was nothing left
smaller than eights."
81 didn't think it would be possible
for me to wear q shoe two sizes too big
for me, but I tried q pair on. They
were brogans, having flaps, with two
eyelets on each side, lacing over the
instep with leather shoe strings. They
tied snugly, so that the heel and often
part of the shoe, and the sole, did not
shuek on the foot. The forward part
of my foot felt as though it were out
doors; but I thought they might do; I
had got to have a pair Of shoes, and ]
took them.
1T wore those shoes for months, and
with the greatest comfort. They were
enormous, or they looked so to me.
As soon as I began to wear them the
thick leather Of the uppers bumped up
into big, rounded edges, with valleys
between, across the top, giving to the
top of the shoe q sort Of futed or cor
rugated effect. These corrugations
remained always just the anne as long
as I wore the shoes. They were not
what you would call a handsome shoe,
but, as I said, they did not shuck
around on my feet, and they were
mighty comfortable.
"But it doesn't follow that after that
I always got shoes two sizes too big
for me; as a matter of fact, I didn't;
but I always did get shoes plenty large
for me; plenty; and found comfort in
wearing them.
"Sometimes we used to draw boots;
cavalry boots. And it was kind O. fun
to get boots. I remember very we'll
the first pair of boots I drew. I think
I felt perhaps in a little maturer sort
of way, though not much 50, either)
about as much pleased over that pair
of boots as !. did with my first red
tops when I was a boy. TO get on a
pair of cavalry boots sort of made a
man feel a little bitless like a plodding
infantryman, and a little more like a
cavalryman; it gave him q sort of a
horse-and-sabre touch. But this was
only as he walked down the company
street after drawing the boots from the
qu~artermaster; the next day, on picket,
the boots were about the SAME to him
as shoes would have been.
"Still there we're men who preferred
boots and always drew boots when they
could get them. But for myself 1 like
shoes better. A mounted man, OF
course, wants boots; but according to
nv notion the most comfortable thing
for an infantry soldier to wear is a
good, roomy shoe that can be made
snug enough somewhere so that it won't
shuck around on the foot.

A Long Turntahle.

The longest turntable in the world

motives, but for sleeping and long

Accepted as a Good Omen.

While the engine of the Neversinh
Fire Company, of Reading, Penn, was
responding to q fire alarm Il Of the
horses struck q hind hoof on a cobble-
stone. Its shoe was loosened and the
momentum lifted the iron to the third
story of the building at 331 Penn
street, where it crashed against the
window of the Rod and Gun Club and
hung to the sash. Five p&nes of glass
were broken and two members who
were at the window had a narrow
escape. The shoe assembled at lesst
thirty feet. The club will have the
shoe framed.-Philadelphia Press,
