No Fun For Bay*.
In nome of the cantons of Switzer
land they have special laws made for
boy*. Here Is a sample of theui:
"If a boy throws a stone and hits a
man he may be lined 3 frani's.
"If a boy throws a snowball and hits
a woman he may by rtned - francs.
"If a boy calls a girl a 'ml head' he
may be lined from 2 to 4 frauc*.
"If a boy throws at frog* in a pond
without being ordered to do so by liis
father or teacher he shall be lined a
franc.
"If a boy throws a stone and breaks
a window belougtug to some one else
his father uia\ whip hltu or he uiay be
tined - francs.
"if a boy makes a face at his teach
er or draws pictures of him ou bis
slu'.e or speaks ill of hliu he may bo
tilled 5 francs and have to beg tits par
'if a boy stoues a dog or chases a
cat it Is a tine of a fr.iuc.
"If two boys tight without the con- I
sent of their teacher it is a floe of 3 ,
francs.
"if a boy steals apples or other fruit ,

A Pony Sentinel.
Durtiyc one of General Custer's In
dlan campaigns he had a boy bugler
with him '..ho v.as u.oiiuted oil a clr
cus pony he had picked up somewhere
The animal was not oui> full of tricks,
but he proved himself a better seiitiuel
than any of the Soldiers fluve times
In four mouths he saved the camp
from a night attack w !:eti no otlier
suspected that danger was near. Upon
one occasion the potty, who was loose
aud walking about camp, discovered a
sentinel asleep on his post. That was
wrung, and the animal knew It was.
and he ga\e the soldier sucb a bite 011
the arm as caused htm to yell ont and
arouse the whole camp. Pouy aud boy
both died in Custer's last 1 >attle. The
pony had twelve arrows in his body
when found. -Cincinnati Commercial

Aj It Looked to Him.
One of the ladles In fancy dress was.
thouirb fair euough. a tritie fat. and
we will not say that she did not look
well out of the thirties. And there
spake to her a reporter:
"May 1 ask what character you rep
resent?"
"Helen of Troy," she answered, i
"What did you think It was?"
"Well." he murmured, ungallantlyJ
enough, as weights and measures <\>u
fused his train and he gazed on her
ample proportions. "I thought yon
might be Helen of Avoirdupois.'"

With the latter one of the group draws
a pulley, a cord over the pulley, a tree,
a bough from which the pulley hangs.
To one end of the cord Is attached a
stone: to tfce other cord clings a mon
key. The stoue balances the monkey.
If the monkey proceed* to climb up
the cord, what will happen? Will the
stone rise or fall? Heated discussion:

Ou one occasion a person entered
Professor Agasalz's room with a picture
which he desired to sell, denominated
a "Blrdseye View of Cambridge."
The professor contemplated It for a
moment, lifted bis eyes, looked at the
vender of the picture, and said, with
his characteristic accent, "Well, 1
thank tny God zat 1 am not a bird."?
