Dancing and Tunnels.

A boy of 4 asked to be taken with his
elders to ball. He was told that he
must first learn to dance. Upon this he
delivered himself as follows: but l
tan dance, and my way is more difficult
than your way. tan dance alone. but
you have to be holded up" This was
not martness, perverted ingenuity. az
some might suppose. 1t was q bit OF
perfectly natural child thought To the
little philosopher there seemed nothing
in the nature Of things to make dancers
dance in "pairs" and hold one another
in 30 tight q grip unless 1t were to keep
one another from falling.
In many Of these naive mis.nterpreta'
tions Of what is seen the point OF the
humor involves, of course, side hit al
grown up weaknesses which lie hid
from the child. A good example OF the
charm Of this childish innocence is given
BY Mr.. Punch when he makes little

The funeral customs among some OF
the Swiss are most peculiar. At the
death of q person the family inserts q
formal, black edged announcement in
the papers asking for sympathy and
stating that '.the mourning urn" will
be exhibited certain hours on q special
day. In front Of the house where the
person died there is placed little black
table, covered with q black cloth, on
which stands black jar. Into this the
friends and acquaintance Of the family
drop little black margined visiting
cards, sometimes with few words OF
sympathy ON them. The urn is put out
ON the table on the day of the funeral No
one except men ever goes to the church

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
Not Often Really Frightened, but Now and

ST don't suppose a man in my bust

Still, l suppose that any man, unless he

The Scouts OF the Sea.

Torpedo boats, however, are designed
for wider service than simply to carry
and discharge the fiightful weapon
from which they take their name. They
are to the navy what scouts and skir-
mishers are to land army. They form
the cavalry of the sea, of which the
cruisers aIe the infantry and the battle
ships and monitors the artillery arm.
They must spy out the position OF the
enemy's fleet, hover about his TANKS or
haunt his anchorage TO ascertain what
he is about and what he means to do
next. They must act as the pickets of
their own feet, patrolling the neighbor-
hood or waiting and watching concealed
among islands or in inlets and river
mouths, ready 10 hasten away to the
admiral with warning Of any movement
of the enemy.
1t is not their business to fight lex
cept rarely, in the one particular way,
but rather to pry and sneak and run.
Hence they are as small and sleek and
swift AS they can be made. When the
feet goes upon a cruise, they are carried
on the decks of the big warships, al
though they are able to get about in
really rough weather by themselves. A
very recent idea 10 to build them out of
aluminium, which would not only be
of great advantage toward ease of trans
portation, but would tend toward in
creased speed by adding buoyancy and
elasticity to the structure, which seems
to skim along toe surface and fairly
leap from wave to wave, but it is doubt
| full whether aluminium is strong enough
foI safety and whether it will not be
injured by the chemical action OF the
sea water. --Ernest Ingersoll in Sc.
