Soldiers In the French army are net
subjected by law to corporal punish¬
ment any more than It has been a paid
of the regulations governing the Mili¬
tary academy at West Point that ca¬
det* should “brace” or “qualify” on
molasses and prunes. Nevertheless
the French soldier /y put through a
baaing process which is most, set *re
and several times has caused death.
Tbe French soldier is known as Pic-ton
or Duniauet, jnot as the English soldier
Is knowD as ’ tmy Atkins. Duma net
finds when he joins tbe colors that ilfe
is not all skittle* for a soldier.
The thing which ui&liugnmLea the
hazing In tbe French army from tbe
baaing In American colleges and uni¬
versities Is that It is suggested and al¬
most ordered by the commissioned offi¬
cers. An officer will say to a corporal
or a sergeant, “You have a man here
who has done *0 and so.” naming some
trivial offense, more than likeiy to be
some neglect of the deference due to
tbe officer. “It would do him good if
he were tossed in a blanket.”
The officer turns on his heel and
walks away, while the unfortunate sol¬
dier Is placed in a blanket, with saber,
spurs, jack Ivoots, bayonets and such
pleasant bedfellows, and the combina¬
tion is tossed until the haters are too
tlr«d to continue. This is greet sport
for the man’s comrades, especially If
they are half drunk, which they arc
likely to be. This diversion has rather
(oa* out of favor Just now, because
several soldiers who have been tossed
had ti** bad taste to dis after tbe dlsci-
jrttoa. In"
some of the French barracks a
favorite method ct punishment Ik to
bang the offending soldier up by bis
heels and then to spank him with a
aword bayonet, la Algiers, where the
man arc far removed In the outlying
garrisons from the centi-M authority
and at the mercy of their tormentors,
they are subjected to many forms of
haxlng at tbe suggestion of tbe officers.

Law is :i coni’, icated thing, and
some f i!s decisions seem not to bo
for.tided in equity. oba'nly most
readers will pass unit criticism upon
the recorded below:
Basutoiaml, neltig broken and moun-
tainoua, was until recently the resort
of Hons, leopards and other wild ani-
mals. Now, however, the hillsides
which were once the resort or these
sava.;a creatures are tbe pasture
grounds! of tens o.f thousands of cattle,
Nearly ail dangerous animals have
been driven away from Basutoland,
but not loug ago a leopard appeared
ou the outskirts of a village. The
animal soon became as badly frighten-
ed as the villagers and sought safety
in flight.
The next morning the inhabitants
turned out for a hunt One of the
hunters was climbing a steep rock
when he suddenly found himself face
to face with the leopard, whose re-
treat was cut off by the rock itself.
Neither the man nor the animal could
escape the encounter.
The dilemma was &a awkward one,
for the climber was unarmed. Beallx-
lng his danger, he put forth his hands
and in deepsratlon caught hold of the
leopard ou each side of its Jaw, hold¬
ing it at arm’s length and calling for
help. The leopard clawed and tore his
captor, but the man held on til! help
arrived, and the beast was speared.
Now name a question of law. By
Basil to law tiie skin belonged to the
chief, who must reward one of three
claimants—either the taau who speared
the leopard or the man who held it so
that it was possible to spear It or the
man who. being warned by tbe bark¬
ing of his dog, first discovered the
animal 1& the village.
The Base to Solomon decided the
case as follows; The roan who spet.red
It could not have done so but for the
man who held it, and the man who
held it could not have known of its
existence If the dog bad not first
warned the village; therefore the ofed't

ward—Youth’s Companion.
