CHiLDRGN'S IDEAS OF DEATH.
The Ingenuity of Some OF Our Youngsters
TO Avoid the Inevitable.

The Ingenuity of Some OF Our Youngsters
TO Avoid the Inevitable.
Like the beginning of life, its termina-
tion death, is one Of the recurring puzzles
of childhood, writes Professor Gully in
The Popular Science Monthly. This might
be illustrated from almost any autobio-
graphical "reminiscences of childhood.
Here indeed the mystery is made the more
impressive and recurrent TO consciousness
by the element of dread A little girl of
81 years asked her mother to put a great
stone on her head. because she cid not
want to die She was asked how O stone
would prevent it and answered, with per.
feet childish logic, Because / shall not
grow tall If you put great stone on my
head, and people who grow tall get old
and then die"
Death seems to be thought of by the un.
sophisticated child as the body reduced to
a motionless state devoid of breath AID
unable any longer to feel or think. This
is the idea suggested by the sight OF dead
animals, which but few children. however
closely shielded, can escape
The first way of envisaging death seems
TO be as temporary state like sleep, which
1t so closely resembles A little boy of 2H
years, on hearing from his mother of the
death of a lady friend at once asked
viii Mrs. P still be dead when we
go back to Londonp"
The knowledge Of burial leads the child
to think much of the grave The instino-
tive tendency to carry on the idea Of life
and sentence with the buried body is H.
Illustrated In C---'s fear lest the earth
should be put over his eyes. The follow.
Ing observation from the Worcester col.
lection illustrates the same tendency: "A
few days ago H, aged 4 years and 4
months, came TO me and said, Did you
know they'd taken Deacon W to Graf.
tonr /, Yes H: Well, ! s'pose it's
the best thing. His folks (meaning his
children) are buried there, and they
wouldn't know he was dead IL he was
buried here" This reversion to savage
notions OF the dead in speaking Of Chris
tian deacon has its humorous aspect. 1t is
strange to notice here the pertinacity of
the natural impulse All thoughts Of
heaven were forgotten In the absorbing
in the fate OF the body.

A PIRATES DISCIPLINE.
The Rules OF Conduct Observed on Board
Buccaneer.

The customs and regulations most CON-
monty observed on board buccaneer nre
worth noting. Every pirate captain doubt
less had his own set of rules, but there
are certain traditional articles that seem
TO have been generally adopted The cap.
tain had state cabin, double vote in
elections, double share of booty. On
some vessels 1t was the captain who decid.
ed In what direction to sail, but this and
other matters of moment were often settled
by vote OF the company, the captain 9
vote counting for two.
The officers had q share and a half or A
share and quarter Of the plumber and
the sailors one share each. Booty was al,
vided with scrupulous care, and maroon.
Ing was the penalty Of attempting TO de-
fraud the general company, II only to tho
amount Of single goldpiece Every man
had full vote In every affair Of impor-
tance.
Arms were always to be clean and at
TOT service, and desertion of the ship or
quarters In battle was punished with
death. On ore famous pirates ship man
VINO was crippled In battle received $500
OUT OF the common stock, and a proper
uouate sum was awarded for lesser hurts.
another allowed $725 for the loss of q
Ino, and other captains instituted sort
OF tariff OF wounds which extended to ears,
fingers and toes.
In chase or battle the captains power
was absolute. He who first spied q sail,
IL sne proved to be prize, was entitled to
she best pair OF pistols on board her over
ana above his dividend. These pistols
were greatly coveted, and a pair would sell
l LOT as much os $3.50 from one pirate to an.
IN their own commonwealth tho pirates
were reported to have been severe upon
INC point OF honor, and among one Grew 10
was the practice to slit the ears or nose OF

long ago il was asserted that the mine

to be on the dividend list by 1899. The
Insiders have been trying to shake out a

How To Clean Carpets.

New York Tribune: With the
near approach of housekeeping sea-
son, the easiest and best way to clean
carpets is a question worthy of consid-
Grafton.
The methods employed in the Brit
ish factories for cleaning velvet, mo-
quette, Aubisson and otner heavy car
pets is TO be commended for its sim
plicity as well as the good results OBJ
tnined. Two large pals of hot water
are provided, one clear and tepid, the
other hot and soapy, made so by shay
ing white soap into water. Plenty of
good, strong white cotton rags are "a
requisite, and a scrubbing brush may
be added II care is taken not TO apply
it too vigorously.
a square of the carpet is then ia
ken at n time and the surface washed
quickly with a clean cloth and this
soapy water.
An Englishwoman recommends the
following: Take up as much of'the
soiled water as possible, then wiring
out the cloth into n third pan of tepid
water, and with n cloth wrung from
the clean water wipe the soaped and
cleaned surface thoroughly. wiping
deity over. hrt not wiring ~. Now
wipe with clean cloths until il is as
dry as possible.
Proceed in this way until the entire
surface is covered. Change the water
frequently. and when finished let the
dry, sunny air sweep over and raise
the tuft OF the weaving until 1t is as
good as new. This washing is good
for the textile. and should be done
every six months IL possible.

Carranza's Letter Gave the oaue
Away aud the spaniards Are
Likely to Go without
Invitations.

Washington, June steps have
been taken by which it is expected that
Lieutenant C~arranza, who has conduct
ed the Spanish spy system from Mon
treal, with his associate, Senior Dn
Bose, former first secretary OF the
spanish legation here, will be eXpeiled
from Canada within the next few days
THAR own means IN
leave before an international inquiry
is raised as TO their presence in Can
ada. The Carranza letter, detailing his
spy system, was communicated 10 the
British ambassador, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, together with all other informa-
ton bearing pm the operations of the
Spanish officials in Canada. The am
bassador was quick to act in the mat
ter and without waiting the slow pro-
cesses Of the mail he cabled the entire
matter TO the foreign office No doubt
Of the authorities i'm London, now that
Il specific case has been made out
against the Spanish officials in Canada.
IL is expected that Lord Salisbury
will call the attention OF the Spanish
government to the undesirability of
having Seniors Carranza and Du Bose
remain in Canada longer, as their oper-
atoms are so obviously hostile to the
United States. This, however, may be-
come unnecessary il the Spanish Off
Gals withdraw from Canada at once, as
there appears TO be no disposition 10
prosecute them, or TO give them an en-
forced expulsion so long as they are
willing TO close their operations and
depart. The British statutes. as well
as those Of Canada, have specific proyi-
sions against the use OF British or Ca
madam territory by foreigners tempo
rariIy seeking asylum there. as the
base Of hostile operations against
countries with which Great Britain
and her colonies are az peace.
About a week ago an effort was made
by the Spanish officials TO enlist the
sympathy Of the British embassy here
with an alleged British subject impris>
oned at Tampa, who IL Is now believed
is the Spanish spy alluded 10 in Lieu.
tenant CarranZa's letter. \ Gamma
dian lawyer arrived here last Sunday
and made a personal appeal to Sir Ju-
liam Pauncefote to intervene in behalf
of the man imprisoned at Tampa.
There were suspicious circumstances
connected with the case. and before
acting the ambassador asked for a spe-
cifc recital of all the facts. These
were not forthcoming and the ease
was not pushed. When the Ca~rranza
letter appeared stating hat one of his
spies had been captured at Tampa il
became apparent for the first time
that the efforts toward intervention
were designed TO secur the release Of
this spy.
Aside from the official action OF the
British government, it is quite likely
that the Canadian officials will take
some action against CarranZa and Du
Bose, under the Canadian statutes.
