LIFE GUARDS.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part Of the British
household troops. They arc gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, ours, everybody''s
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, Gnd allies
in the very elements, as colds, influ-
enza, catarrh, the grip and pneumonia
do in the stormy month of March.
The best way that We know of to
guard against these diseases is to
strengthen the system with Hoods
Sarsaparilla-the greatest of all life
guards 1t remove the conditions in
which these diseases make their most
successful attack, gives vigor and tone
to all the vital organs and functions,
and mparts genial warmth to the
blood. Remember the weaker the
system the greater the exposure to
disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes
the system strong.

A Tragedy In a Tunnel.

The night express was making its
customary pause at Grantham station
while the engines were changed for the
next long run, 100 miles to York.
1t was not a crowded train, as I
easily perceived when l alighted with
the rest to stretch my legs. Most of
the passengers had turned out, too,
and We lounged about, staring at each
other without keen interest until time
was up and the sharp cries of "Take
your Seats" "Now for the North,"

l regained it without paying particu-
lar attention to those nearest me, save
in the vague, unconscious fashion that
would hardly serve for later recoy yni-
ton. One man 1 noticed in the next
carriage-he and alone were travel
ing "first," at any rate, in that part of
the train-but do not think / should
have known him again but for his trav-
cling cap with the lappets tied under
his chin and his loose ulster with a
a cape-distinct facts in his appear
ance, although they made little i'm
preston on me at the time.
Then another matter claimed my
notice. There were sudden cries, "Now,
sir, now! If you're going on, look
sharp, sir, please" l saw a man, a
laggard, hurrying down the platform,
pulling breathlessly in evident distress,
as though the pace was too great for
him.
He made straight for where l sat,
but stopped one compartment short of
mine, and as the train was already
moving they hustled him in neck and
crop; the signal was given, Right"
the whistle sounded, the engine driver
blew response, and we steamed ahead
full speed.

as he tumbied into his carriage Eyi-

last moment, and had all but missed

Why had he been 50 anxious to save
his passage and such peril to himself?

my friend Mountstuart, the detective
to whom, as he ranged alongside, l
whispered:

would have got rid OF fat, bulky

him in the act and took it from his

"What does this mean? How dare
you interfere with me? Who are your;
"You will hear soon enough" said
Mountstuart, quietly. "1n with you.

He was a dark-eyed, lantern jawed,
cadaverous looking, and he was shiver-

Of his unexpected arrest. He gave his
name at the station as Gregory Car

came out that he had had business

temptation had been irresistible when
be held the dead man in his arms to
search and despoil him. He thought
it was quite safe; no one could know
of his presence in the carriage, and the
sudden death would be attributed to
natural causes.
His possession ofthe stolen property
was enough to secure his conviction
for theft, the only charge pressed, for
death had really been from heart fail
ure. My evidence as to what l had
seen was heard in court, and heard
with mixed feeling in which incredulity
predominated. The judge and some
others were sufficiently interested,
however, to put my statement to the
test by actual experiment on the I'm

telltale reflection was triumphantly
proved:

NAMING THE CHlLDNEN.
CURIOUS CUSTOMS IN AMERICA AS WELL
AS IN FOREIGN LANDS

A Hindoo child is named when
twelve days old the name being general
ly determined upon by the mother
according to ancient custom. 1t the
father has strong prediction for
another name a mystic test is resort
ed to. Two lamps are placed over the
written names in debate and that name
over which the lamp burns the brigh-
ter is the one bestowed.
The babes of a certain province OF
northern Japan are not named until
they are 5 years old. Then the father
bestows name of his own pref
erence
In other japanese provinces child's
name has to be changed four times in
tie various stages of his growth. The
fourth name is the one he goes by
through life
The Egyptians name a baby whose
birth is of Importance by lighting
three candles. Each candle stands for
a given name, one of the three invaria-
bly, representing the name of some high
parsonage. The particular candle that
out lasts its rivals indicates the name
destined for the newborn son or
daughter.
A Chinese child has a name given
to him in infancy by which he will be
known until 20 years. At that age
a new name is bestowed by the father.
No Chinese girl baby is ever favored
with name in juvenile years.
A girl child is merely designed as
number one, number two, number
three, according to the number of
girls there are in the family.
The Mohammedans in naming their
infants leave the matter to chance.
Putting several slips of paper contain
ing names within the pages of the
Koran and bestowing the name first
drawn, is popular custom. The
parents believe it better for child to
be named by blind fate than through
their direct ministration.
The Germans, especially the middle
classes, ofttimes change the name of
child if he is sickly or if he does not
seem to thrive. And this recalls an
ancient American custom regarding
child's naming. In the large families
of the past it was quite customary
when a young child died to name the
next born child after him. This Gus.
tom was general even three genera
tions ago. And it has been the cause
of considerable bother to professional
genealogists when tracing family
lines.
A good many Americans are indiff-
erent and slow gong in the naming
of infants. The youngest of seven
children in certain family has only
just received name and this because
he is 5 year old and attending kinder
garten, making it necessary to have
some other designation than the
nursery diminutive that has clung to
him since babyhcod. The parents
were unable to agree upon name and
put the matter off until the child
should be big enough to select one for
himself. This he did by choosing the
given Name of the playmate whom he
liked best.-N. Y. Sun.
