DEFECTIVE PUPILS
TO BE ELECTRIFIED

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The New
York Board of Education is expected
to authorize a trial this fall of a
Swedish scheme for electrifying a
school room and thereby producing
extraordinary results from the. pupils.
The experiment, which has met with
some success in Stockholm, will be
tried on a room with class of de,
fective pupils. The cost for a years
trial will be less than $4,000. The
electrificator consists of a series of
wires in the walls charged with high
frequency currents. The plan will be
to have two class roms as nearly
alike as possible, one electrified and
the other not.

NILES TAKEN FROM JAIL ANC
RIDDLED WITH BULLETS

Priest Niles. the negro who on
Wednesday murdered Mr.. Burgess
and his granddaughter, Miss Stevens,
at Mcintosh. was taken from the
county Jail just after twelve o'clock
yesterday by a Unlicensed and indig
nanl body of men, and placed into an
automobile in waiting at the front of
the building. The crowd, numbering
amout a hundred, all armed and in
automobiles or on horseback, then
followed the leading car through the
city to a place about two miles north
of town. where the body of the negro
was riddled with bullets and left by
the side OF the road. His clothing
was set on fire a short time after he
was shot, but it is thought that this
was caused by the firing of guns at
close range. and not with any in
tent of burning the body. Niles adj
mitted his guilt TO those who took
him from the Jail before he was taken
from his cell.
Several parties had been watching
the Jail all forenoon. as it was not

No doubt some of u competitors

Origin of NeU Year Gifts

Like the customs of Christmas,
which, in their origin, are curious
mixture of poetry and symbolism and
of superstition, those that belong to
the observance of New Years day are
also relics Of ideas that date from
early heather ages. The French de-
rive their term for New Year pres
ents from the Latin word, Strenia,
the name of a goddess whom the Ro-
mans venerated as the patroness of
gifts. There was a grove in Rome
dedicated to this goddess, where it was
customary to get fresh twigs, to give
as presents to friends and relatives on
New Years day. During the sway OF
the emperors, Roman subjects made
New Years gifts to their sovereign.
Augustus received such quantities of
these that he had gold and silver
statues made of them. Tiberius did
away with the usage, because he con-
sidered it too troublesome to express
thanks for the gifts. Caligula, on the
contrary, reintroduced the custom, and
even made up for his predecessors re-
fusal to receive presents by requir-
ing those that had been offered to him
to be given to himself as arrearages.
The custom of making New Years
gifts, notwithstanding attempts to sup
press it, was continued after Europe
had become Christian. For time pres
ent making was transferred to Easter,
but later it was again associated with
the first day Of January.

to the bob-sled, on which four empty
barrels could dimly be discerned.
Have you put the pail and rope in?'
asked the boy.
The man nodded as they solemnly
shook hands, while the boy shielded
his eyes with the crook of his arm
and gave the horses their heads. He
tried from time to time to peer into
the storm, but the snow made wraiths
round him and froze his eyelashes to-
gether.
How the horses got there the boy
never knew, but get there they did, and
whilst the icy blast probed remorse-
lessly amongst his clothes for the
flesh beneath, and poured the powder
ed snow down his neck
The maddened animals charged him
as he lowered the bucket into the well,
and spilled the water all over him as
they fought for the first drink.
1t was a slow process at best, and
his clothes and mittens cracked with
the CONCEALED ice as he hauled up each
pail. When they had drunk their fill
they quivered with the cold, and
plunged to get back, but the boy bound
the reins round the runners Of the fore
most bob. They bucked as the frozen
bits CALLED them, causing him to spill
as much as he put in the barrels, and
to slither about on the rapidly form
ing ice, rendering a foothold almost
impossible. In between times the boy
rubbed his eyes and the frozen places.
1t was a slow and tedious task, and
he soon was tagged, because at 10 the
muscles are not hardened. The horses
knocked him over and the sleigh ran
over his legs, but, being light, only
bruised him. In his puny rage he
slashed them with the pail rope, and
it warmed him until one of the horses
trod on the bucket and bent it fiat.
Foolishly he took off his mittens to
straighten it, and only learned sense
when he felt the sensation OF many
needles piercing his hands and the
skin on his fingers adhered to the
metal
1t was a painfully slow job; to lift a
filled pail shoulder high and empty it
