Tossing the Pancake.

Thursday in the great hall of Westnln- ster school the quaint Shrovetide custom of tossing the Q pancake among the scholars was observed. says a London paper. The ceremony. which has been carried out for over 100 years without a break. appears to lose none of it's interest as Shrovetide comes round, and Thurs days proceedings were watched by a large number of ladies and gentlemen. At 12:S0 the scholars were summoned to the sound of a bell by the school ser- geant from the classrooms into the hall and there they selected a representative from each form to scramble for the pan cake. The chosen boys having been ranged beneath the bar over which the pancake is annually tossed. the school cook. bearing in his hand a silver pan containing the edible symbol of Shrov- tide, entered the room, preceded by the deans verger. and at the order of the headmaster threw the pancake. A wild scramble ensued among the selected boys to obtain possession of it. After about five minutes scrimmage an upper form boy. Logan. emerged with, the largest piece of the pancake in his hand, and was thereupon awarded the guinea which is annually presented to the successful scholar,

The Magazine Graft.

Washington Times.
 Magazine articles have come to be reg ularly ClaSsed by the initiated as among the many desirable perquisites of high government officials and heads of depart mentS in Washington, whose we'll known names affixed to articles dealing with questions of timely interest with which they are called upon to cope officially are sufficient to insure perusal of the same by the reading public. and hence,. in the vernacuiar, the magazine graft Is being worked to death"
 It is a noteworthy fact also that as the signatures of those prominent in Wash ington departmental life grows steadily the amount of news that filters through the regular channels as steadily de- creases: newspaper man we'll known in Washington was talking with the prl- vate secretary of the head of one of the departments the other day, and happened to mention that the week just past had been very quiet.

 The following letter from Mrs. Rebecca l.. Nesbitt. President of the Kennesaw Chapter of the Georgia Division at Ma rietta, came many months ago. and has before been published in these coIuWns with list of the Alabama soldiers bufied in this lot. The request of the kennesaw Chsp.er through their President, Mrs. Nesbitt, will be submitted to the Conyen- ton of the Alabama Division In May, hence the importance of each Chapter knowing of and considering this appeal. that their representatives may be pre- pared to meet the question and the dis eussion of same. This letter was read before the Executive Board, and 1t was the unanimous request of all present that this letter be again published and tho att tention of each Chapter be especially directed to it. We resret that space for bids republishing the list of the 256 Ala bama soldiers buried in this cemetery. Marietta. Ga., August 10. 1901. Mrs. A. L.. Dowdell. President Alabama Division, U. D. C.:
 My Dear Madam-I have been requested by kenesaw Chapter. U. D. C.. to send you tho enclosed list of soldiers from your State. who are buried in the Con- federate Cemetery here. There are 5000 soldiers in this s,s a J Texas. and since the war the Memorial Association. latterly aided by Kennesaw Chapter. has cared for this sacred spot. We have been struggling to place the 5000 headstones needed and to erect a simple monument to these silent heroes, but our opportunities and means for obtaining the necessary money are sadly limited. and we appeal to you to help us, If pos- sible. The headstones. by buying in large lots and getting special rates. can be put iu for % cents each. Can you not send us from the treasury of your State Di- vision, U. D. C., or from other sources, a sum sufficient to pay for the headstones (256) for the Alabama plot?
 These lists we have copied at some trouble from the records. If published in your State papers they may aid rela- uves in discovering the last resting place of loved ones. long lost, and also awaken an interest in our work. In any event, I trust you can see your way clear to heip us know the many calls. but 1t seems to me that this is a duty which is Imperative. These names belong to his- the list placed in your State archives.
 We have a part of the 5000 headstones in place. but have been unable so far. to put in the others. Fires. started by sparks of passing railroad engines, have swept over the cemetery entirely destroy ing the original headboards which were so carefully placed at each grave. With high regard and best wishes. believe me, yours truly.

ceptions to the verdict of a jury for the
defendant having been overruled by
unanimous opinion OF the Supreme
Court Justice Galbraith writes the
opinion. Geo. A. Davis appeared for
plaintiff; ]. T. De Bolt for defendant
The grounds of the decision are partly
that the exceptions were not well TAX
en-, but mainly that they were not TAX
en- at the proper time directly after thF
verdict. On the former point, the
court says that a verdict for ethel
party would have found support in thu
evidence.
