In gome of the cantons of Switzer land they have speclal laws made for boys. Here is a sample of them: “If a boy throws a stone and hits a | man he may be fined 8 francs. “If a boy throws a snowball and hits a woman he may be fined 2 francs. “If a boy calls a girl a ‘red head’ 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 his father or teacher he shall be fined a fr . “H a boy throws a stone and breaks a window belonging to some one else his father may whip him or he may be fined 2 francs. “If a boy makes a face at his teach- er or draws pictures of him on his slate or speaks 11l of him he may by ::ed 5 francs and have to beg his par. 0. “If a boy stones a dog or chases a cat it is & fine of a franc. “If two boys fight without the com- sent of thefr teacher it is a fine of l francs. “If & boy steals apples or other fruit it 18 a fine of 2 francs, and he should be beaten by his father.” 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 mwlu 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 corsets? Did Solomon chew tobacco? Did Ruthj chew gum? Did the children of Israel make for a beer garden after crossing the Red sea? Did Rebecca eat gum- drops and Ice cream and call for soda water? Adam was the first and was made perfect from head to heel. How long would he remain so after eating & mince ple before going to bed? Sup- pose he bhad slept in a bedroom five by seven, with the windows down, the door skut and two dogs under the bed? Suppose’ Eve had laced herself up in a corset, put on tight shoes, sat up all hours of the night eating her fill of trash and sizzled her hair. When you come to look at the way a man misbe- haves himself you can only wonder he ever lived to get there. Verily, the av- erage man behaves as If he were little better than a fool.—Woodbury (Conn.) Reporter. The Old Buffalo Days. There is on record at the war de- partment, Washington, a document bearing witness to how plentiful buf- faloes were within the memory of many men now living. It is the “re- turn” for several rounds of cannon ammunition expended in Kansas in 1867 to divert the course of a gFeat herd of buffalo that was bearing down toward a camp of soldlers with a force that threatened to overwhelm it. At least one officer is allve who saw these shots fired, and he describes the herd as literally reaching as far as the eye could see. It was a long time In passing the camp, whose occupants watched it In silence, awed by the spectacle. General Philip' S8t. George Cooke at once halted a regiment of cavalry on the plains to permit a great herd of antelope to pass, and he was not a man easily halted when on duty. His humanity impelled him to with- hold the regiment from, mangling and maiming the antelope, which were. al- lowed the tight of way.—Boston Tran- script, & 7 “Legal Absurdities. Bome absurd clauses have found their way into certain acts of the Brit- ish parllament. One statute enacted punishment of fourteen years’ trans- portatlon for a 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. He Didn’t Put It Off. “Graclous!” exclaimed Mr. Staylate. “It's nearly midnight. I should be go- Ing pretty soon, I suppose.” #Yes,” replied Miss Patlence Gonne, “you know the old saying, ‘Never put off till tomorrow what you can do to- day.’ "—Philadelphia Press. His Class. The head of a large mercantile house received not long ago a letter from a millionaire banker in the west asking that the latter’s son be placed in some business house where he could learn “things from the bottom up.” The “writer explained that his offspring was “no good at home.” Soon after the western millionaire recelved the following reply from his New York friend: Dear Sir—Your hopeful has arrived. 1 haye given him employment in my estab- lishment at $6 & week with others of his class.
