a young lad and a COW caused
much trouble in the office of the
mayor and city marshal last
Wednesday. The lad was at
tempting to drive the COW
through the streets Of the city
when she saw the open door Of
the Office of these city officials

A Bad Guess.

Jonn Hawtrey was one OF England's
famous whipping schoolmasters. At
Elton in autumn the small boys used
to buy chestnuts and roast them in a
shovel over the fire. One day boy
named f.. who was great favorite Of
Hawtrey's, had lot of chestnuts and
as a special favor was allowed to make
use of the pupil room fire while the
boys We're all studying. Hawtrey was
going in and out of the room while
we were working, and on one occasion,
coming in rather quietly, he caught
sight of F. kneeling over the fire ar
ranging his chestnuts. The boys posi-
ton was irresistible to any lover of the
art of chastisement. Not seeing his
face and supposing it was one of the
other boys stealing the chestnuts, John
Hawtrey quietly took his cane from
his desk and, creeping forward on tip
toe, gave the wretched f. most ire
mendous whack. The boy jumped up
with yell, his hands clapped behind
him. Then the tutor saw who he was
and said, embracing him:
"Oh, my poor boy! | am so sorry!
I thought it was another boy stealing
your chestnuts"
We, of course, were all delighted and
roared with laughter.-London Graphic

Lightning and Thunder

BY counting the number of seconds
in the interval between lightning and
thunder it is possible to figure approx
mately how far from the observer is
the scene of the storm. Sound travels
LOO feet a second, so multiply the
number of seconds by LOO, which will
give the distance in feet from the point
where the lightning flashed. For ex-
ample, If ten seconds have elapsed the
distance away will be 1000 feet. or a
little over two miles. 1t might be add
ed that, as light and lightning travel
so much faster than sound, if one sur
wives after hearing the crashing peal
he can be sure he is safe. Remem-
brance of this will dissipate terror

panaon and the orcan Grinders.

Paris has more than once made war
on organ grinders. There, as here, they
have their enemies and also their
champions. The war, however, is an
old one, and politicians had time to at
tend to it even at the height of the
revolution.
No less man than Danton then took
the part Of the musicians.
Citizens" he cried from the tribunal,
81 hear that an attempt is being made
to prevent the organ grinders of Bar
barry from playing their tunes as usual.
Do you think, then, that the streets of
Paris are too gay? Have the people of
Paris too many songs on their lips?
One after another our liberties are be-
ing wrested from us. Leave us at
least the liberty of listening to the or
gans of Barbary, of hearing from them
our fayorite songs and refrains."
Danton was guillotined for reasons
with which this speech had nothing to
do, but the grafton containing these
sentiments was the last that he had

The Artistic Poison.

Passing by other drugs, each of
which has it's own way of making peo-
pie crazy, we come to what may be
truly termed the artistic poison. This
is, says Dr. William II. Thomson in
EverybOdy's Magazine, the mescal but
ton, which grows on low cactus in
the valley of the Rio Grande and for
tunately is scarce and hard to get.
Chewing this button causes the most
gorgeously colored scenes to appear be-
fore the entranced vision, far surpass-
ing, according to descriptions. the most
magnificent sunsets. 1t would seem to
be the drug for landscape painters.
but unfortunately, whatever other
things drugs do, they never increase
efficiency. 1t was first discovered
among the Kiowa tribe of Indians.
who used it in their religious rites till
missionaries induced the government
to remove the Indians from where they
could get it.

FIFTY WHIPPED
IN CONVICT CAMP
Cries of Prosecuted Men Can Be Heard
Nearly All the Time, Witness
Testifies in Quiz.

Atlanta, Ca, July 2S.-Further dis
closures Of Irregularities and inhuman
treatment of convicts We're brought out
before the legislative committee in,
vestigating the conduct of the state
prison board and the convict lease sys-
tenn. Ed Strickland, who said he had
worked in 100 convict camps, testified
of neglect in the camps and the cruel
ty of convict wardens.
He said the cries of negroes being
whipped were borne on the air at al
most any time from the Chattahoochie
Brick company camp. He stated that
he had known of fifty men being
whipped in one morning, the whipping
boss being engaged from sunrise until
9 o'clock. The men, he alleged, were
whipped with leather straps weighing
from three to five pounds.

Hotel Accommodations In India.

All over the world Indian hotels
have bad name to any one who has
been used to moderate degree of COM
fort and good feeding. They are for
the most part disgrace. Why people
should have. to pay from 10 rupees to
% rupees day in the cold season and
from Z rupees to II rupees day in the
hot season without receiving comfort
and good feeding seems at first difficult
to answer. As a rule, the feeding is
most inferior, badly served up, table
cloths and napkins frequently dirty,
not to speak Of the knives, forks,
spoons and tumblers Bedrooms are
badly looked after, and unless one has
a very smart bearer it is difficult to re-
ceive proper attention All this should
not be for such prices as people pay.
In many third rate boarding houses in
England one could get presumably as
good as what is got in some of the
so called first class hotels in Calcutta.
