ROGUES' MARCH is OLD TUNE
Believed to Have Been Played by the
British Army Earlier Than tho
Eighteenth Century.

A very characteristic and lively mill
tary quickstep, which dates from early
in the eighteenth century, is what is
now known as the Rogues' March. The
name was given to 1t because it was
customary to play 1t when soldier
was expelled or drummed out of the
English army. This was the penalty
incurred for various crimes, that of
theft being the prevailing offense that
gave the air it's especial name of the
Rogues' March. The ceremony that
took place when such an offender was
to be punished is quite ancient, and
consists in the culprit having the but
tons bearing the regimental number
and all other military decorations cut
off his uniform, and then being
marched to the music of drums and
flies playing the march to the gates OF
the barracks and then kicked or
thrust outside. The exact date of the
Inauguration of this military punish
ment Is not known, but Is conjectured
to be older than the eighteenth cen
fury. It is still in use in the British
army, and the air of the march al
ways played on such occasions has
been occasionally utilized for such old
songs as Abraham Newlands,' Rob
inson Crusoe" and 1.-THE Tight Little
Island"

SOME OTHER MANS PARCEL
Commuter Made Profitable Exchange,
but Probably Man Who Got tho
Cat Was Peeved.

A man once lived in Montclair, N.
J., whose wife ha0 a pet cat. On a
wintry day the cat died. So wintry
vas the day that the cat could not be
buried, for the ground was frozen
hard.
To get rid Of the body the man de-
termlned to bring it with him when
ne went to New York to business. So
he wrapped 1t up neatly in brown pa.
per, and, on getting into his train, put
1t gently on the hatrack, with the firm
intention of forgetting all about it..
When he reached the terminus he
walked rapidly out Of the train, but
was barely on the platform when a
kindly old gentleman overlook him.
Your parcel, think, sir" said he
pleasantly, and the man from Mont
clair thanked him most politely.
All day long the parcel containing
the dead cat lay in his office. In the
evening he took 1t home, placing it
again in the hatrack and again care
fully forgetting it. But again fellow
passenger warned him Of his careless
ness. Finally he reached home in a
not very pleasant frame of mind, and
flung the irksome parcel on the kitch
en- table
Later on the wife entered the kitch.
en-. The parcel aroused her curiosity
for her husband had said nothing
about his failure to bury the cat She
opened 1t, and discovered three ten

CENTURY OF MAP CHANGING
How Lines Have Been Moved Back and
Forth In Europe In Constant
Series of Warfare.

A hundred years ago Napoleon Bona
parte, who had some plans for the re-
arranging Of the map Of Europe. went
down in defeat before those plans
were completed. Others rearranged
the map of Europe, but not ultimately
according to his notions. For half Of
the century after his Waterloo the
process continued briskly. For the
second half Europe was more settled.
There could be no more effective re-
view OF the century than Prof. A. M.
Wheeler's famous lecture on the bat
tie of Waterloo.
Perhaps the centenary of the turning
point in Napoleon's career would ar
rest little attention, were 1t not for
the upheaval Of Europe now In process.
Napoleon exalted war, and his down.
fall but shifted the laurels to other
brows, while the process Of exaltation
went on. That which Is now in op-
Grafton Is a process of wars downfall.
How much of alteration Of the map
will follow is uncertain, nor is it es-
sential. It is probable that we have
arrived near to the end of map chang
Ing, as such. And the chiefest rea-
son for recognizing the downfall Of
Napoleon is its prophecy. about to be
fulfilled after the lapse Of century

Whooplnu Couch,

The Bureau of Laboratories Of the
New York board of health has been
conducting an extensive investigation
of whooping cough. and DR.. Paul Lut-
finger recently reported to the Medi-
cal association Of the greater city Of
New York some OF tho results Of that
inquiry.
Among tho most interesting con-
illusions reached is that the early part
Of the disease Is the most infectious.
The bacillus that is believed to cause
1t is rarely found in the sputum after
the first week Of the paroxysmal, or
whooping, stage, so there would seem
to be no necessity for the child to be
kept in the house for more than q
week after the whoop appears"
Doctor Luttinger says physicians I'M
derestimate the seriousness of the dis
ease and fail to report cases. Only
26 per cent of cases In a certain area
were reported, and probably not more
than 10 per cent are reported in
Greater New York"

RAPID PROGRESS OF SURGERY
Operations That Would Have Bean
Remarkable Years Ago Now
Matter of Course.

War will lose half it's terrors If sur.
gerry continues to make the rapid
progress Of the past few years, for
arms and legs will be replaced by
new ones when necessary, remarks
London Answers.
A millionaire lost an ear in an &C.
cfdent. and offered $1,000 to anyone
who would supply the missing article.
A man agreed; the patients were
placed side by side for II days, which
completed the grating process.
In another case q whole finger is
said to have been transferred from
one woman to another, the hands be-
ing bound together for % days. Tbs
fee was $500. but the new finger was
somewhat shorter than the original
member.
America is the home Of remarkable
surgical operations, and 1t was at St
Johns hospital, New York, that q
man, whose face had been badly In.
jured In machinery, was supplied with
new nose and mouth, both quite
oCi fASCdUio. LILO OpoIdllOu was d
lengthy one; grated muscles and skin
formed the mouth, and by careful and
skillful operations the little finger
replaced the nose.
British surgeons can be quite as
clever when necessity arises. A man
was badly wounded in South Africa,
and lost most of his ribs, which were
replaced by steel jacket which all
lowed him to do light work. Then
London hospital took him in hand
and provided him with a set of silver
ribs.
A small boy had what amounted to
hole in his skull, caused by fall
when very young. The London sur
geons replaced this by a piece Of
his shin bone, and the operation
proved successful.
Wounds from bullets and knives in
hearts have been sewn up; a weak
aorta was strengthened by a silver
spring being placed in it at the weak
point: a pigs eyelid replaced one
which had been removed; a broken
back has been set; and the story goes
that blind man was made to see by
transplanting the cornea.

SCOTCH CAPABLE OF BULLS"
Some Good Stories That Have Been

A Glasgow merchant and magistrate
Of century ago. 30 Mr.. D. Macleod

mercantile house in New York con-

undisposed of. In response to his in.
quiries, he was informed that they
were still In statu quo. He passed on
the information to neighbor, who re-
marked suspiciously, "But ] never

"Nor I, either" replied the good
bailie. confidentially. Il looked at the

"Wha ONT" inquired the bailie,,eag

Perhaps it was he-it was certainly
another Glasgow bailie-who, his
health being proposed at banquet in

nobly to the toast:
