discovered BIZ Accident.

The passengers scarcely gave them a
passing glance as they entered the car.
He took a sea by the window, just like
q long married man, while h sat
on the aisle. It was part Of a shrewd
plan. After two stations had been
passed, he began t o read a newspaper,
and let her ask questions twice before
he answered. This was q strain. but
they were trying to establish a record.
Suddenly he jerked forth his hand
kerchief to mop his brow. and with It
came many grains of rice. Some fell
in the aisle, and some fell on the pas
sengers about them. In en- instant the
couple became the target Of half a
hundred searching eyes. She blushed
plettily; he looked like a sheep.
The careless flirt of the handkerchief
did the business, and, as further simu-
lation became useless, they held each
others hands during the remainder OF
the journey.-Ohio State Journal.

ENGLAND WATCHES GERMANY
Lance Boats Of tho German Army Cause
Suspicion.

~Ss@@ -1 S-@S
Suspicion.
At least a real use has been discov.
cred for the 4ances carried by the
European cavalry. In America we don't
attach much Importance to lances, but
in England in the early stages Of the
val in the Transvaal much was heard
of Beers being "spitted" on English
lances. In the German army, however,
q scheme has been devised by which
the lances Of the cavalry form a frame
work for boats. This is such an adj
vanced step that the English are
watching closely to see what success
attends 1t. Twelve to sixteen lances
and a few cross sticks form the frame
work for these lance boats, and be-
sides the oars, which are made of q
lance and a canvas blade, the only 9TH
er essential part Of the boat is the wat
erproof covering. It takes only five
minutes for the troopers to tie the
frame work together and two minutes
more to fasten on the cover. Then the
boat is ready for launching. Sometimes
to insure stability the two boats are
fastened together like a catamaran.
When these boats are packed up one
horse can easily carry two of them.
It is said that, with the old system it
required 1000 men and $500 horses
merely to look after the transport Of
the boats IL every squadron in the Eng
lish army were supplied with two
boats, however, only 500 horses are
needed, and in the item Of fodder alone
there is a saving of $ls7,5oo . year
