English School Flogging.

In former times much of the disci:
pline was administered by the head
master. A certain DR.. Keate, who
was head master toward the middle Of
this century, is celebrated for his
floggings. A characteristic instance
occurred when very popular boy
named Munro was dismissed from
school for refusing to be logged. At
the next absence" when his name
was omitted from the roll call, his
friends set up shout of ''Munrol
Munro! Boot boot" In punishment
for this they were told to come daily
for an extra absence. This they de.
cided not to do, and also determined
not to be logged for it. Keate very
craftily waited until after "lock-up,"
when the boys were scattered in the
various boarding houses, and then
sent the assistant masters to fetch
them for punishment in relays. Some
Of the boys tried to organize resis'
lance by shouting from the windows'
''Dont be logged! We haven't been
Aoggedr' but the relays kept coming
into Keate until after midnight, and
all but two Of the boys were logged
over eighty in all. According to ira,
dition, Keate was positively fond Of
using the birch. On one occasion, il
is said, a batch Of candidates for con-
firmation were by mistake sent to
him on "bill" like that used for re.
porting boys for punishment. The
boys tried to explain the matter, but
Keate only flogged them the harder
for what he considered m irreverent
trick to escape punishment. All this
happened in time when the boys lived
under DANES in the boarding
houses. -Harper's Round Table.

and come very near to death for his
intrepid attempt to enter the "Ground
of God" The Grand Lama, we are
told, is the patron of the extravagant
and cruel celebrations with which the
Thibetan New Year is ushered in, and
it would seem that this holy man is
likewise ready to give his personal
countenance when would-be intruders
on his sacred city are visited for their
temerity. It was in the Grand Lama's
own presence that Mr.. Landor was,
all but executed. After torture with
hot irons, which left the artist.
explorer unmoved, it was decided
to beheaded him. Several times the
executioner brandished his sword
about the victims neck, but at the
last moment the Grand Lama, of his
clemency, stayed the steel and com.
muted the capital sentence to the tor.
ture of the rack. Mr.. Landor, who
suffered terrible injuries, was OF length
released, and made his way back to
India. What possibility there is Of
obtaining redress from the arch-fana'
tic is problematic. It is unlikely that
the adventurer will seek satisfac.

bis chance, even Of boiling oil. The
Lama, although so exclusive to West.

He lis, indeed, kept constantly in.

choosing Of the Lama, according to
some accounts, is strangely effected.
The Lamas seek to find successor to
the Grand Lama in q child. The child
is really selected by the crafty Lamas,
but on the people a pious fraud is
practised. A bell used by the Lama
is privately given to the child as q
plaything. On the day Of public
choice many unfamiliar bells are laid
before the boy, who is dissatisfied,
and at length asks, ''But where is my
own favorite bell?" The Lama's bell
is produced and welcomed. Plainly
this is the Lama's spiritual successor.
