No Flowers at Army Funerals.

mdeed. II was 40 printed In local paper
The result was that on the following day
a large quantity Of flowers were sent by
sympathetic ladies and others with re-
quest that they should be placed on the
coffin Of the dead soldier. Now, the fact
was that no soldier had died, and the
officers had the flowers sent TO their
quarters. II there we're a death in the
camp the flowers could not be used, for
they are not military In any sense. The
only thing allowed on the coffin OF a sol.

BATTLE ON Stills.

In Exciting and Novel Game introduced
by Western DOys.
Several boys In Chicago improved
the last silt season with an exciting
game on stills which they called "stilt
fighting" Nearly every afternoon they
would gather In an open lot just south
Of Washington park, and the silt con-
tests attracted no little attention. Each
boy had pair Of stout stills, with the
steps about eighteen inches above the
ground. Two of the boys were chosen
as leaders or captains and they picked
out their men, taking turns in making
the selections. Then the sides separate
and line up as in pull away or any Of
the old games. At word Of command
from the umpire they advance on each
other, walking stesdily on their stills
When they get close up together they

BRITISH WHITE CAPS.
Indiana Moral Reform Methods Adopted
by the People of Wales.

They have very strange and vigorous
methods of enforcing the laws of NOR
Atty in the parish Of Llanbister which
Is situated In the hills of the purely
agricultural county Of Iladnorshire,
South Wales.
Scandaized at breach of the laws
of morality, which they believed to
have been committed, the parishioners
a few nights ago formed what is
known in Wales as a "Rebecca" gang,
and, attired In variety of costumes,
and, with faces sooty black, serenaa
ed the alleged delinquent's house. The
woman who was suspected was also
fetched. Both, in nearly nude con-
dition, were marched to the River
Cwmdwr, which flows close by. In its
waters they were submerged, and then
made to walk backward and forward
through the stream for the space Of
nearly twenty minutes. While in the
stream the man made a desperate at
tempt to escape, but in crossing
weir he came cropper, and was re-
captured. The two were then made
to run up and down the fields and
were well belabored with straps and
sticks.
Then they were escorted back in
procession to the mans house, where
the "Rebecca' sat in judgment. The
couple were condemned to undergo
further flogging and to march up and
down the fields hand in hand. Their
hair was cur off, and, besides, they
had to undergo many other indgni-
ties. Tar and feathers were procured,
but the more cautious prevailed on
their companions not to administer
such dreadful punishment.
This extraordinary affair appears to
have given the greatest satisfaction to
the inhabitants, who feel that a great
blot on the rustic innocence of their
parish has been avenged.

A Real Nice Girl,

the means to which some pretentious bellies

She is not, one ID pleased to say, a woln-

is the sort who could not think of going
anywhere short of tho Waldorf to dine nor
dream of speaking with an acquaintance
un'ashionably dressed. 1t was the man
himself who afterward told the story. Not
to another woman-that would be mean
but to a man. OF course no had no objec-
tions to telling 1t, SO it got about generally.
Miss Pretense never had met the man
before, but she had known his brother

remarked sternly. He had not sent any.
But he took tho cue and said 1t was a

ordered the carriage stopped at the most,
expensive florists, went in and bought an
armful Of violets for her highness. After
the opera they dropped into the Astoria

Electricity Defined.

1t Is related of the deceased Italian
scientist, Calico Ferraris, that in an
swer TO a young lady's request he in
scribed in her album the following def
milton of electricity: Sine Maxwell
has demonstrated that the vibrations
Of light might consist of periodical
changes Of electromagnetic forces, and
as Hertz has given Maxwel's theory
an experimental basis with his proof
Of the sin tlarity existing between cleo
trO-magnt tic waves and light waves,
the belief becomes more and more
firmly established that this light-con-
veying ether and the medium in which
the electric and magnetic forces act are
Identical.
Therefore, may well reply to the
question, Oh, studious and charming
maiden, What is eleCtricity?' that 1t is
not only the fearful agent which at
times lights up the heavens suddenly
and startles thy soul with its loud
clapping Of thunder, but also the life
giving and life-awakening cause,
which as light and heat brings forth
the magic of color and breath of life,
which transmits to thy heart the pull
sations Of the universe and awakens in
thy soul the charm of glance and
smiles"

times skillful silt soldier will plunge
into the ranks Of the enemy like a
mailed knight of old and tip over a
whole row of them without once losing
his balance. The game is never out
until every man is won over and lined
Ut on one side, and oftentimes when
only the general of an army is left he
can, by making a few bold strokes,
win back all his soldiers. This is what
makes the game particularly excit-
ing.
Several times the boys have brought
brooms along with them for arms, and
each of them, with broom held fast
under his arm, charges down on the
enemy. In this warfare a soldier may
hit the enemy anywhere but in the
face or head, using his best efforts to
push him over. If soldier drops his
broom he is dead" or out of the fight.
This sport is even more exciting than
The ordinary battles, but it is hard on

Training Animals For Circus Tricks

There ia never a time in the life of an
animal trainer when hers absolutely safe
but these men learn to forget their dan
ger, for it becomes as much part Of their
daily lives Ms eating or sleeping. Take the
case of an elephant man, for instance
One swing of that huge trunk, one thrust
of the big tusk or ono misstep of the pom
derous foot would send him to his death.
There is always within reach tho power to
kill him, and often the desire, but he keeps
his elephants afraid of him all tho time,
and they dare not do what they might
like.
Perhaps the most interesting trained
performers, because Of the apparent dan
ger that surrounds them, are tho lions,
tigers and leopards. One trainer used to
go into a steel barred cage with lions,
tigers and leopards and make them form
pyramids. lie would lie down on them
and take all kinds of liberties with the
dangerous creatures. But there were in
variably half dozen other keepers near
the cnge with rawhide whips, hot irons
and pistols close Mt hand in Case of trou-
ble Even then there were several in
stances of the animals turning on him,
and in one case-that Of the big lion Wal.
lace-the Snowman had his arm badly in
jurcd before he could be rescued.
The secret of handling all Eeasts Of the
cat species, so the animal trainers say. is
to keep them constantly afraid of you.
Tho instant they get over their fear they
will attack any one who crosses their path.
They arc all trencherous, too, and often
gather courage for an attack when tho
masters eyes arc turned away from them,
although they would not dare revolt If ho
faced them. The tigers are the worst of
the whole lot too. One never knows when
they will get over their fear and spring at
the keeper from behind. -Harper's Round
