No Fun For Bows.

In some Of the cantons Of Switzer-
land they have special laws made for
boys. Here is sample Of them:
III a boy throws stone and hits a
man he may be fined 3 francs
III boy throws SNOWFALL and hits
woman he may be fined francs.
IF boy calls q girl red head he
may be fined from to francs.
If boy throws at frogs In pond
without being ordered to do so by his
father or teacher he shall be fined a
franc.
IT a boy throws stone and breaks
window belonging to some one else
his father may whip him or he may be
fined 2 francs.
III boy makes face at his teach
er or draws pictures Of him on his
slate or speaks i'll of him he may bs
fined s francs and have to beg his par.
don.
III boy stones dog or chases 4
cat It is q fine of a franc.
IF two boys fight without the con.
sent of their teacher it is fine of 8
francs. ,t...
I IF q boy steals apples or other fruit
1t ia fine Of 2 francs, and he should be
beaten by his father" Il
The American boy who reads the
above will wonder what the Swiss boy
has to live for. About all he can do
and not be fined is to have the measles
or whooping cough.-Exchange :.

Suppose Eve had laced herself up In

hours Of the night eating her fill Of

Tho Old Buffalo DAYS.

There is on record at the war de.
partment, Washington, a document
bearing witness to how plentiful buff
faloes were within the memory Of
many men now living. It is the ire
turn" for several rounds of cannon
ammunition expended in Kansas in
1867 to divert the course of great
herd Of buffalo that was bearing down
toward a camp Of soldiers with a
force that threatened to overwhelm it..
At least one officer Is alive who saw
these shots fired, and he describes the
herd as literally reaching as far as the
eye could see. It was long time In
passing the camp, whose occupants
watched it In silence, awed by the
spectacle. General Philip st. George
Cooke at once halted a regiment Of
cavalry on the plains to permit great
herd Of antelope to pass, and he was
not man easily halted when on duty.
His humanity impelled him to with
hold the regiment from. mangling and
manning the antelope, which were al
lowed the right Of way.-Boston Tran

LEGAL Absurdities,

Some absurd clauses have found
their way into certain acts of the Brit
ish parliament. One statute enacted
punishment of fourteen years trans.
portation for certain offense, '''and
upon conviction one half thereof should
go to the king and the other half to
the informer." Then there is an act
Of parliament for the rebuilding of
Chelmsford prison which stipulated in
one clause that the prisoners should
be confined in the old prison until the
new one was built and in another-an
amending clause that the new prison
should be constructed out of the ma
terial of the old one.
