BURNS ♦ No Fun For Boys. In some of the cantons of Swltasr- land they have special laws made for boy a Here is a sample of them: “If a boy throws a stone and hits a man he may be fined 3 francs. “If a boy throws a snowball and bits a woman he may be fined 2 francs. “If a boy calls a girl a ‘red bead’ he may be fined from 2 to 4 francs. “If a boy throws at frogs in a pond without being ordered to do so by bls father or teacher be shall be fined a franc. "If a boy throws a stone and breaks a window tielonging to some one els* his father may whip him or be may be fined 2 francs. "If a boy makes a face at bls teach gr or draws pictures of him on bis slate or speaks ill of him he may be fined 5 francs and have to beg his par don. “If a boy stones a dog or chases a cat It is a fine of a franc. “If two boys fight without the con sent of their teacher It Is a fine of 3 francs. "If a boy steals apples or other fruit It M a fine of 2 francs, and be should be beaten by his father.” The American boy who reads the above will wonder what the Swiss boy j has to five for. About all be can do and not be fined is to have the measles or whooping cough.—Exchange. Man’s Unwisdom. The simplest and plainest laws of health are outraged every hour of the day by the average man. Did Adam smoke? Did Eve wear comets? Did Solomon chew tobacco? Did Moth Chew gum? Did the children of Israel make for a beer garden after r meet ng the Red sea? Did Rebecca eat gum drope and Ice cream and call for sods water? Adam was the first and was made perfect from bead to heel. How long would he remain no after eating a mince pie before going to bod? Sup pose he bad slept In a bedroom five by seven, with the windows down, the door shut and two dogs under the bed ? Suppose Eve had laced bereetf up In a comet, put on tight shoes, sat up all hours of the night eating her flU of trash and staled her hatr When yon come to look fit tho way a man misbe haves himself you can only wonder be ever lived to get there. Verily, the av erage man behaves as If he were little better than a fool. Woodbury (O om .) Reporter. "Do you believe that the good die young?” "I think they do, if aM my wife telta me about her first husband la true.”—Pick-Me-Up. Where crocodiles abound in Africa native children are taught in cane of sb attack to gouge out the anteal’e «yea. Maay save their Uvea that way. Hourglasses In a London Church. Nearly everybody is aware that at ! ene time it was the custom in many i churches to regulate the length of the sermon by an hourglass, which stood I on the pulpit Immediately fronting the preacher. Quite a number of these curious relics are preserved In various ecclesiastical edifices throughout the land, but the British and Foreign Sall or»' church, situated in what was for merly Ratcliff highway, is the only one possessing four. They are in perfect preservation and are fixed all together in a framework of solid brass.—Lon don Standard. • Happy Outlook. They bad had their fortunes told by scientific palmistry separately lest their marriage should be suspected and were comparing notes. “There was only one thiDg I didn't | like,” said Angelina, "and that waa that—that I was to be married twice." “What!” Edwin exclaimed. "It wasn't my fault," pleaded Ange lina. “She said it was written in my hand.” "That you were to be married twice?' "Tea.” "But I'm to be married twice too.” “The Oaks.” “The Oaks,” which gave the name to the popular race, has representation in British drama in the play “The Maid of the Oaks,” which was written by General Burgoyne, and after being per formed at the author's residence on the I xiwiih was produced by Garrick at Drury Lane in 1775. Burgoyne sold ‘“The Oaks" estate to the sport lowing twelfth Karl of Derby, who Instituted the Oaks stakes in 1779 and was also the winner. The “Derby" was 1 net! tut- ed In the year following. Out of eon- klderatkm of the fillies taking part in both races the “Derby,” which used to be run on the Thursday, was altered in later times to Wednesday to allow a day t-etween the two great events.— Westminster Gazette. Flag« In Battle. The evolution of the battlefiag was a gradual process, and evidence of It» first use in warfare 1« neither definite nor decisive. Its germ was contained tn the numerous and varied standards nnd enRlgns used by the ancient Egyp tians, the Assyrians and the Chaldeans, from wlioao wooden or metallic images of favorite deitjea the modern battle flag has iteen elaborated. Naval flag» were carried in the aterne of Greek battleship» aa far back an MX) B. C. Probably the linen tonic hoisted by Antlgonus as a signal for hla Illyrian troops to begin the attack at Helbaata and the waving of hla red cloak to start a cavalry charge were the first demonstrations of the oeefnlnesn of flaav on the battlefield.
