To beat at ''four touches" one
must be quick indeed. Those who
are playing form a line, with the ex-
ception of the one who has been
chosen leader. This child places
herself opposite the one at the head
of the line, and Immediately the
two see which can most quickly
touch the other on chin, right shout

the child ii the line finish soonest
she becomes leader. Otherwise the
original leader passes to the next in
the row and enters into contest with
that one. Rarely does it happen
that any leader can 60 the length of
the line without being vanquished
by some one. but when this does oc-
cur she Immediately runs off as fast
as she can and is chased by the 9TH
crs until caught. Whoever captures
her then takes her place.

The Newspaper MANS Picture Of the
Great Russian General.

Great Russian General.
McGahan was the correspondent who
first described 70 Europe the Bulga-
rian atrocities. What a brilliant crea-
ture he was, with his steel blue eyes,,
his face as delicately chiseled as
though it were Of marble, his 1.-THE,
light frame and that suggestion of alb
solute courage, iron resolve, under
meath the almost feminine tininess of
the features. He was one of the in
Inmates Of Scobeleff-indeed, the men
were so attached TO each other that
Scobelen nearly always insisted that
McGahan should share his tent with
him. and McGahAn was I'm the tent Of
Scobeleff the night after the disas-
trous assault on Plevna. Scobelef
was. said McGahan, a wonderful pic
ture of the horrors and terrors of war.
His face was black with powder, his
uniform was In rags, and his sword
was twisted like a corkscrew. 1t is
evident from this description that SEQ
beleff took part with his own hand in
some Of the work of the day. There
was Il 6eQuel, Dy the way, 10 tnls PFC
ture. l am not quite sure whether
McGahan published it, but he told it
to me. Scobelef was always a dandy.
Even in leading a charge he was dress
ed with dandical precision. In the
middle Of the night McGahan was
woke up, and he saw Scobeleff dress
ing himself with great care, putting
on a new uniform and even pertaining
his hair and clothes. And then came
another transformation. scobelen, his
elaborate toilet finished, sat down on
his bed and burst into a shower of
tears and a tempest Of sobs, thinking
over all his poor men who had been so
vainly sacrificed in the attempt to gain
the fortress.-London NJ. A. p.

THE ENCORE.
n o~risinated in France In the sevsn-
teenth Century.

teenth Century.
The beginning OF the encore dates
back to some time between 1915 and
100. probably about 1850, when Louis
XIV. demanded the repetition Of GER
tain parts OF an opera. The opera was
by Corneille. Fontenelle and Bolleau,
which was sung before his majesty,
and the king was 80 pleased with GER
tain parts that he asked to have them
repeated. II took fully a century for
the ordinary opera gocrs to obtain the
kings prer3gslye for themselves. II
came about in this way: Chuck had
produced an opera which had been q
failure; but, having rewritten the
worst parts, he produced It again. One
or two songs were accepted by the au.
dlence with applause. and one in par
tlcular was demanded a second time.
The most remarkable encores on rec
ord are those which were insisted upon
by the late king OF Bavaria. Before he
was known to be insane, when merely
thought eccentric, he had plays per
formed before him as the sole auditor,
the curtain rising at midnight. II he
liked the play he insisted on having II
repeated Mt once. But, unlike most en-
core hends, he paid literally for them.
Though our word encore" is adopt
ed from the French. they themselves
do not make use of 1t in this connec-
ton. They call IBIS, bis" and obtain
a repetition.-New York Herald.

Without stopping TO think. Miss Vain

In a second the little dog was upon her,
and the girl, between laughter and
tears, had caught him close.
WITH Teddyboy in her arms, Miss
Wainwright hesitsted. Should she sim

It was her dog. but still that hardly
seemed a square thing TO do. And then
suddenly she went white. Down the

. THE PRICE OF A LIFE.
How 1t Was FiHsd UndsF The OLD
Anglo-SAHon Laws.

According TO Anglo-Saxon laws. sv-
cry mans life, including that Of the
king, was valued at n fixed price, and
any one who took it could commute the
offense by n money payment upon a
fixed scale. The life Of a peasant was
reckoned to be worth 200 shillings, that
Of a man of noble birth 100 sbllllngs,
and the killing Of a king involved the
regiclde in a payment of 1900 shil-
lings.
1t has been pointed out that the heir
to the throne could thus get rid of the
existing occupant by numbering him
and thereafter handing over the fine,
according to the scale, to the excheq-
uer, when his ofense would be purged
and his money would come back to
himself, for In those days the sover-
eign received all fines as personal per-
quisltes. There Is very little doubt
that these rough means were practical
ly applied in the case of some rulers of
England in the p%reconQuest period
