SECKET SOCIETIES.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE FAMOUS
ORGANIZATIONS OF YALE.
Strange Proceeding nn the Catnnn of the
Hew Haven Unlvernlty Peculiar III tea
and Ceremonies of flknll and linnet,
Scroll and Key and Wolfs Head.
The election ceremonies to the Skull
nd Bourn, Scroll and Key, and Wolf
Bead societies of Yule university are
very impressive. The members of the
Junior class on the afternoon of this day
gather In little knots in front of one of
the big buildings which are used by the
scholars as sleeping rooms. The win
dows of every other building which
commands a view of the exiiectant stu
dents on the campus below are crowded
with other scholars and their friends.
Suddenly a solemn looking young man
comes around a corner of one of the dor
mitories. He goes straight toward the
waiting crowd without a word to any
one. He walks in among the fellows,
many of whom are his friends, without
noticing anyltody. Every other student
stands perfectly still, and without turn
ing his head follows with his eyes the
movements of the mysterious looking
fellow who has recently appeared and
who is going up nnd down, up and down,
in and out, in and out among the crowd,
looking at nobody, speaking to no one,
apparently seeing nothing. Then ho
goes around in a circle, All hold their
breath. The people in the windows on
every side lean a littlo further out and
watch with increased interest. It is a
moment of intense suspensel All of a
sudden the quiet man, on whom every
body's eyes nre fastened, slaps a fellow
student right lietween the shoulders and
almost knocks him over.
Then a great shout goes tip! The
students on the campus are yelling them
selves hoarse. The crowded windows
are alive with frantic men nnd women
who are waving handkerchiefs and hats,
clapping hands and laughing, each add
ing something to the terrible uproar.
Meanwhile the student who was slnpiied
on the back is tli happiest man in the
immense crowd, for he has been elected
a member of Kkull and Bones, the fa
mous serret society of the university.
The Hrt thing the fortunate student
does whmi he realises that he has been
slapped is to go straight So his room, with
out a word to his most intimate chum,
or even to the man who has so rudely
struck lum. He 1b followed by the man
who did ithe slapping, and who all this
time has not even so much as smiled or
said "Hallo" to any one in fact has
not recognized the .man he is following
eicept try the slap.
Nobody knows, exoept these two, what
takes place in the room, and the men
are not seen again that day, for the in
terest f the people "outside is centered
on another mnn who has come from tho
same direction as thetirst one, and who
is going through exactly the same per
formances that the first fellow executed.
When he finally slaps a man, another
great shout goes up, and then these two
students go away to the room of the one
whose back has been shipped. These
scenes are repeated until forty-five men
have been slapped, for that is the num
ber conniosing the three societies. Each
society is made up of fifteen men, no
more and no less, and each member is
said to choose one student.
When the .forty-five have been selected
the elections are over and the people go
nome icoitng tnat tnoy have witnessed
an event more interesting nnd mare ex
citing than the graduating exercises
which take place when a whole chum are
about to leave tho school. Nothing more
is done to the students who have been
slapped until the next Tuesday. What
occurs then is seen by nobody except a
few of the students who gather in -front
of the secret society houses.
The names even of the sucioties are
not known. They are called Skull and
Bones, Scroll and Key, and Wolfs
Head, because each member wears a
little gold pin, with one or another of
these objects on it as the case may to.
The Skull and Bones pin is a horrid
bit of gold la the shape of a human skull
and croesbonea. The Scroll and Key,
as the name implies, is made np of a
mall sheet of gold, like an ancient piece
of paper. On the scroll is a key, above
the key are the letters "C. 8. P." and
below the key are the letters "C. C. J."
What they stand for only the wearers of
the pins know.
The other society bas tor its pin a lit
tle gold head of a savage looking wolf.
Often the eyes are mads of two brightly
shining diamonds.
Another wonderful thing about those
pins is that the wearer never loses one.
He never lays it down even for a second.
Of course they have to bathe, and how
do you so suppose they do then? You
would think they would have to lay the
pin aside at that time anyway, wouldn't
you? But they don't; they hold the bit
of gold in their mouths!
"Bones' in the oldest of the three so
cieties. Tradition has it that tho pins
first appeared in 18!12. About ten years
later men who had expected an election
to "Bones" and wore, disappointed or
ganized the Scroll and Key. Wolf's
Head was founded less than ton years
ago, but today is almost as exclusive in
its membership as either of the others.
In fact it generally represents as much
wealth among its members as tho two
other societies oombiued. New York

The Astor House has among its regu
lar patrons of the lunch counter in the
rotunda one gentleman who for a period
of ten yenrs, summer and winter, has
scarcely varied his diet for his noonday
meal.
He is a tall, athletic man, always well
dressed and apjiears to be, if not
wealthy, a man in excellent circum
stances. It mtist lie from choice then
and not pecuniary reasons that each day
In the year he orders regularly a bowl of
milk nnd a plate of crackers, nnd con
cludes tlio repast with a chocolate eclair
in winter and a dish of berries in sum
mer. The gentleman for fully a half score
of years has not altered this tinier.
Whether he is interested in a dairy and
desires to popularize a milk diet no one
seems to know. That the food agrees
with him is evident from disappearance,
and a mere glance only is conclusive
evidence that he most thoroughly en
joys the refreshing repast. New York

Area and rnpnlutlnn nf the World.
The data givon in "Die Bevolkerung
der Erdo" show that the area of the
world is 52.SU0.4S1 square miles and the
population 1,47I).?2U,151, an average of
twenty-eight to the square mile. Raven
stein's revised estimate for 1890 gives
the area at 01,2,10,800, the population lit
1,407,920,000, and twenty-nine to the
square mile, and estimates the increase
of the world's population in a decode
(1880-90) at 8 per cent
In computations of this kind several
totals, particularly in Asia mid Africa,
have to be obtained by estimate. It is
quite txiBHilile that the total population
reaches moro nearly 1,500,000,000 than
the figures given. In any event the lat

LEGAL ANOMALIES.
ODD CASES THAT OFTEN ARISE IN
ENGLISH COURTS OF LAW.
The Power of "Consideration" In a
Money Transaction An Interesting
I'olnt About Tradesmen's Bills "Men
of Straw" In a Criminal Prosecution.
At a time when law reformers ere
busy, it may be interesting to notice
some of the many absurdities which
still exist in English law.
A person buys goods, pays for them
and gets a receipt. The tradesman sends
In his bill a second time. The purchaser
protests that he has paid, but cannot
find the receipt Accordingly, the trades
msn brings an action and wins. Boon
after this the missing receipt is found.
And yet the purchaser cannot by law
bring a new action to recover the amount
he has paid as the result of the first ac
tion, unless he can prove actual fraud
on the part of the tradesman. And why
is this? Because, according to the legal
maxim, "It Is to the Interest of the s:jtte
that there should lie some finality to
litigation." It Certainly is not, in this
instance, "to the interest" of the pur
chaser. A owes B an undisputed debt of 100.
After much pressure he comes to B and,
dilating on his own misfortunes in par
ticular nnd the hard times in general,
offers him i'80 In full satisfaction. B.
partly through sympathy nnd partly be
cause having written off tho amount as
a "bad debt," is only tooglad to getany
thing nnd accedes to thoHO terms, Most
people would think that here was an
end to the matter. It all depends,
strangely enough, on the way in which
the money is paid.
If the amount is paid in gold or bank
notes there is no "consideration" for B
agreeing to accept less than the full
amount due, and therefore if he after
ward repents of his bargain he can sue
A for the remaining 20 in spite of his
promise to lie satisfied with 80. And
yet if an old knife, a rusty nail or somo
other thing, however trifling, is "thrown
in," then B is bound by his agreement
to take the lesser sum In full discharge,
for in this quibbling way the legal theory
of "consideration" is duly satisfied.
Let us suppose that a Mr. Smith holds
two houses under one lease from a Mr.
Brown, and assigns one of them to a Mr.
Robinson. If Mr. Smith omits to pay
his rent, or breaks some other covenant
In the lease, Mr. Brown the superior
landlord can "distrain" not only o:i
Mr. Smith's house, but on poor Mr. Rob
inson's as well, though he may be a
model tenant.
A proposes to sell B a piece of land,
and at the same time gratuitously
promises to keep the offer open for a
week. In spite of this A can revoke his
offer the very next day if B has not al
ready accepted it. Legality, again de
fying all ideas of morality, argues that
there was no "consideration" for the de
lay agreed upon.
Very frequently a busybody bringing
a criminal charge elects to bo "bound
over to prosecute" at the assizes, even
though the magistrate has expressly de
cided tnat no jury Is likely to convict.
Now this can be done "on his own recog
nizances," without any substantial sure
ties. The result is that if, as is often
the case, the prosecutor is impecunious,
the accussed when acquitted, cannot,
except in theory, make him pay his costs,
nor doeB he feol inclined to bring an
action for malicious prosecution againBt
one who, as the lawyers say, is "not
worth powder and shot." In this way
unscrupulous "men of straw" have op
portunitieswhich thoynot seldom util
izeof putting people to terrible annoy-
ance and great expenso without incurring
any practical risk tbemselves.
A lessee always remains liable on the
covenants until the expiration of the
tease, even after he has assigned it with
the approval and consent of the lessor.

A Porte with His "Kvll Bye."
In the early years of his papacy, when
he was adored by the Roman people,
Plus IX was driving through the streets
of Rome and chanced to look up to an
open window, where nurse was stand
ing with a child. A few minutes after
ward the nurse let the child drop to the
pavement below and it was killed. In
stead of laying the blame to the care

malevolent influence of the evil eye.
and the fancy became universal among
the lower classes in Italy that the pope
had the evil eye, and it lasted until his
death. Travelers who knew of the be
lief were often amused to see people
kneeling to receive the pope's blessing,
and at the same time holding the fingers
forked to break the maleficent power of
his glance. When Plus IX gave up his
liberal theories and fell back to the old
accustomed methods of government
there were an abundance of liberals who
took it as proof positive that he was
possessed of an evil spirit. Chicago

A Lawyer's Little Joke.
The humor of the legal mind is some
times a trifle subtle. There is just now
to be seen in the window of a famous
secondhand book shop In the Strand a
complete set of "Voltaire" in fifty vol
umes. The is bound in what is tech
nically knowu as "law calf." It has
evidently belonged to a lawyer who hesi
tated to let h. clients perceive that he
was given to reading anything so mis
chievously frivolous as the philosopher
of Ferney, or who could not resist his
own little joke. Instead, therefore, of
lettering the volume "Voltaire," which
everybody would have understood, he
had them inscribed "Afouet's Reports."
The joke would of course be lost npon
those who happened to have forgotten
that the great philosopher's proper name
was Arouet de Voltaire. London Cor.
