graphic account Of how Major Babtie, of the
Medical Corps. won the Victoria Cross recently

The men faced the wood as only the British SOL

to the guns led only To further loss of life.
Colonel Long had been shot down, fifty horses
had been sacrificed and the scanty ranks of the
English thinning rapidly. Still the cry up,
Hold fast to the guns and when the last forlorn

HE SAID GOLF WAS sHiNNEY
Justice, Who Doesn't Know Put from
 "CaIf' Sits on the Game.

"CalI' Sits orr the Game.
 Without regarding the feelings Of devotees of golf, Justice Potts of Jer- sey City has brought the aristoeratic game which cannot be played without cleeks, mashies, lofters, and drivers down to the level of "shinney," a game that only requires a crooked stick, any old thing that will serve as a ball, tough shins, and an opponent whom the player does not like. Mrs. Pauline Seharff lives neaf the links of the Jer- sey City Golf club and has filed objee- tions to having her children swatted on the head by golf balls driven in an ee- centric manner by beginners at the game. Despite the heat, Mrs. Scharf also objects to having the windows of her home suddenly fall to pieces in 9 most disquieting way. It was to stop these annoyanees that Mrs. Seharf caused Albert l. Drayton, president of the club, to explain to Justice Potts not only how it happened, but also dow he would stop it in the future. The elite of Jersey City crowded the courtroom yesterday, and listened to Mr. Drayton explain that the organi- zation, through late recruits, had made some of the most wonderful strokes on record. He added that in a few days a new course would be arranged, and the beginners quarantined nine miles from any sign of civilization. Mrs. Scharff was willing to compromise, and even went so far as to express her admira- tion of the game when played in an- other state, and everything was set tied But the game is shinney,' just the same" was the decision given by Justice Potts. and which caused the elite to loft their noses and foozle their glances as they left the putting green bound for the next tee.

EVOLUTION OF WALLPAPER
rt Took Time to Introduce It and Bring
 It to It's Present Perfection.

From the Paper Trade: While va
 rious kinds of printed fabrics were
 known to the people of most remote
 antiquity it was not till the eighteenth
 century that wallpaper anywhere near it's present form came into common
 use in Europe, though it appears to
 have been used much earlier in China.
 A few rare examples which may be as
 early as the sixteenth century exist Ill
 England. but these are limitations, gen.
 orally in flock" of the old Fiorent1ne and Genoese cut velyets, and hence the
 style of the design in no way shows
 the date of the wallpaper, the same
 traditional patterns being reproduced
 with little or 10 change for many
 years. It was not till the end of the last century that the machinery to
 make paper in long strips was invent
 ed. Up to that time wallpapers were
 printed on small square pieces of hand made paper and were very expensive
 On this account wallpaper was slow in superseding the older mural decora- tions, such as tapestry, stamped
 leather and paper cloth. A work
 printed in London in 1744 throws some light on the use of wallpapers of that time: "The method of printing wall papers of the better sort is probably the same now that it has ever been.
 Wooden blocks, with the design cut in relief, one for each color, are applied by hand, after being dipped in an
 o1a-+4z alo4t. et4 ,yra aIapood with .45o+ tempera pigment, great care being taken to lay each block exactly on the right place, so that the various eolors may register. or get together. In or der to suit the productions of the pa per mills these blocks are made in England twenty-one inches wide. and in France eighteen inches wide.@The length of the block is limited to what the workman can easily lift with one hand--two feet being about the limit, as the blocks are necessarily thick and in many eases made heavier by being inlaid with copper. especially the thin outlines, which, if made of wood. would not stand the wear and tear of printing In flock and gold or silver printing the design IS HfSt printed n strong size. the flock (1nely cut wool of the required eolor) or metallic pow der is then sprinkled by hand oyer the paper; it adheres only to the wet size. and is easily shaken off the ground or unsized part If the pattern isZre= quired to stand out in some relief the process is repeated several times and the whole paper then rolled to com press the flock. Cheaper sorts of paper are printed by machinery, the design being cut on the surface of wooden rollers, under which the paper passes. The chief drawback to this process is that all the eolors are applied rapidly, one after the other, without allowing each to dry separately, as is done in hand printing, somewhat blurred is usually the result"

May Soon Wipe Out the Distinctions of
 Day and Night.
 Within the next half century afti= fieial light will be go inexpensive. 50 excellent, and 50 abundant" says scientist that it will wipe out the demareations of day and night. He continues: Darkness is one of the forces of nature against which ciyiIiza- ton wages war. It facilitates crime. 1t impedes travel, it puts arbitrary lim= it's on human exertion. The time is coming when darkness will be thor oughly conquered and the great cit les flooded from end to end with light that will make every vocation of life as easy and as practicable at one hour as another.. Ia this latitude night is undoubtedly the best time to work especially during the summer. The temperature from sunset to sunrise is cool and equab1e. there is almost af= ways a refreshing breeze, and as soon as darkness is abolished the people will gradually and naturally reverse their hours of toll. venture the pre- diction that noon in 1850 will see the streets of our great cities deserted, ex= eept for a few midday roysterers and policemen with sunshades. Respect able folks will be abed and asleep, en- toying that delightful repose which we now associate with an afternoon snooze-something by the way, that should long ago have given us a hint that day was the proper time to rest. Then, when the wonderful incandes- cents of the future blaze forth at dusk, everybody will arise iRvigorated and alert, and get ready to begin the nights work. If is a beautiful vision.

BURIED HIS LEG,
And Had an Expensive Tombstone Placed
 Over the Grave.

Calumet (Mich.) Correspondence or the Detroit Journal: Tn the little vii- lage of L'Anse lives a shoemaker named Peter Murphy, who is one oI the most eccentric men in northern Michigan on just one subject Ten years ago the physicians found 1t nee- essary to amputate one of his legs just above the knee. When he recovered from the operation he deeided that the part of his leg which had been taken eff was dead and therefore 1t should be buried, and he arranged to nave funeral service. The amputated mem Der was placed in a small coffin and buried with all the. pomp and eerez mony Mir. Murphy would have e2- peeted if it had Eeen his own funeral. He attended the funeral himself ana wept genuine tears as the earth was shoyeled on top of the rough box. But this didn't end his devotion to that part of his body which was dead. lie purchased an expensive tombstone. had a likeness of the leg cut into the stone. and then had it inscribed with the facts of the case, telling that Il was Peter MurphY.s leg. and the date of the funeral. Although this all hap pened ten years ago, MT. Murphy never neglects the sacred spot where his leg is buried. and every week he hobbies out to the cemetery. where in the sum ner time he keeps the grave pfettl5E decorated with flowers. His wish Is that when he dies the remainder of his body shall be inferred with his=Ieg Murphy is a veteran of the civil wal and his injuries during one of the bat tIes were the indirect cause of his hay ing the leg cut off

 Peculiar Crime.

Escroquerie is a crime which has no distinct counterpart in any country but France. An English lady was re- gently sentenced to twelve months im- prisonment for ordering a costume that she was not able to pay for and an English goyerness was sentenced to six weeks imprisonment for taking a cab without being able to pay the fare. The French are eminently practical people, and see no great difference be- tween running off with an article and getting it without paying for it. It often happens that the English fall un- der the law with regard to escroquerie.

The mlssionary.s Little Joker.

A native Maori ehieftain, the des- eenaant of canniba1 kings, is now com pleting his medical education in Chi eago. CannibaIism ended in his tribe, he says, when Bishop selwyn converted his grandfather; but he tells some stories of it which have a distinctly humorous flavor. For instance: It is said that once a chief captured mis- sionary who was anything but tooth some morsel as he was old and thin. and looked as if his flesh would be tough. The missionary warned the chief that he would not make a good dinner, and pulling up his trousers, cut slice off the calf of his leg and offered it to the chief The chief tast- ed it, said he didn't like 1t, and passed 1t to a subchief The sub tasted 1t. made face, and passed it on. The F. tn who took a bite of it spat The missionary was re- lease6 ter he had gone it was dis cover he wore a cork leg.

r1cn in Ancient Roman Relies.

At Dorchester. Dorset, England, which has proved so rich iii ancient Roman relics. another interesting dis eovery has just been made. During some excavations on building estate on the confines of the borough, and only few hundred yards from the an- eient Roman amphitheater, splendid specimen of villa pavement has been disclosed Several similar discoveries have been made of late years, but noth- ing so fine or we'll preserved has yet been recorded. The pavement is about two feet below the surface, and the de- sign is unusually elaborate, while the coloring of the tesserae remains al- most as fresh as when laid down. The discovery is regarded as of great im- portance. The find will probably be secured for the British museum.
