Those Between Hanover and Holland
on the Rhine Are Unique.
Many of the International boundary
marks display a sentimental as well as
a practical character. The famous
"Pillar of Farewell,” which marks the
line between Russia and Siberia, has
been celebrated In song and story.
This boundary mark stands between
Ekaterinburg, In Russia, and Tiumen,
In Siberia. It stands on the main road,
along which thousands of exiles have
passed. It Is an obelisk of brick, six
teen feet in height On the west side
It bears In Russian characters the
word "Europe,” and on the east side
the word "Asia.”
The boundary marks along onr north
ern frontlej, separating ns fr^n Can
ada. are of a most practical Jpt For
many hundreds of miles the St Law
rdhce river and the great lakes form
the natural boundaries, but there Is a
vast stretch of prairie land beyond
with no natural demarcation. The
boundary marks here are pillars of
Iron and wood placed at Intervals of
one mile. They have been alternately
supplied by the two governments and
may be seen from the Lake of the
Woods to the Red river valley. Be
yond that the marks are mounds of
earth and cairns of stone.
!Tbe strangest of European frontier
lines Is that marking the boundary be
tween Hanover and Holland, where It
crosses the Rhine. A row of pontoons
lies across the river, chained bow and
stern. Inasmuch as^be dividing line
runs tbrough from stem to stern, the
eastern halves of the boats are painted
In German colors, the western In
Dutch. The effect Is most striking.
Austria has a frontier line of about
3,800 miles, *of Which 2.096 Is land,
livery mile of this must be guarded
against the encroachments of Austria’s
aelghbors. Germany Is In a similar
situation, since her land frontiers,
bordering upon Russia, Austria. Swlt
serland. France, Holland and Belgium
are 2,255 miles in extent, and by far
the larger portion Is not protected by
mountains, rivers or any other natural
boundaries. The German seacoast. how
ever. Is only 744 miles In extent—Har

DRESS OF MALTESE WOMEN.
Silk Hooded Cloaks Hide Face and
Form From the Curious.
The dress of the Maltese is very sin
gular, and that of the women striking
lb the extreme. When abroad they are
411 arrayed in black. They put on over
their other dress a robe or loose skirt
Of that color, brought high on the
bosom, and in place of bonnets their
heads are covered with a black silk
mantle which invests their shoulders
and descends halfway behind.
The part which covers the head is
furnished with a piece of whalebone in
serted in the hem, which keeps it in po
sition and prevents the silk from drop
ping over the eyes. One hand, placed
inside, is always necessary to hold to
gether the sides of the scarf In front,
gnd the other hand is often hid under
tts folds, only a forefinger being suf
fered to appear through the opening
left for the purpose. Of course, under
auch mufflers little can be seen of the
beauties of form or feature if a Maltese
nymph happens to possess them. The
eyes and a moving, pall black figure
are all that can be distinguished.
But sometimes the fair one deigns to
exhibit her face to a curious gazer in
place of engrossing herself the privi
lege of seeing, and features good hu
mored, rather pleasing than handsome
Und Irradiated by a pair of fine, spark
ing eyes, are displayed to the beholder.
The complexion is a dark olive, partak
ing a little of a sort of mulatto tinge.
IThe mantle is obviously borrowed, or
rather It has descended from a distant
gge and people. It answers to the veil
df eastern ladles.
' Such figures, thousands of whom are
Abroad on the Sabbath, give the streets
a funeral look. It seems an if all Malta
had gone Into mourning.—Philadelphia
Inquirer. - . --
A VERY ANCIENT TUNE."'
It I* Also Probably ths Moat Popular
One In the World.
Perhaps the most firmly established
popular song In the world Is the air fa
miliar to Americans as "We Won’t Go
Home Till Morning.” The origin of the
tune Is obscure, but Louis Elson be
lieves that the music was composed
as a love song In the tenth century or
earlier by one of the troubadours, the
wandering minstrels of southern
France. Chateaubriand, the French
writer, beard it sung by the Arabs, and
he snggested-tbat It might have been
carried to the orient by the French cru
saders.
It was certainly sung by the French
soldiers during the war In which the
first Duke of Marlborough won his
fume. It was the lullaby of the baby
son of Marie Antoinette. Iffiecameoue
of the most popular songs of the
French revolution. Napoleon whistled
and sang It throughout his life. Beetho
ven used It as one of the themes of his
"Battle Symphony.”
It has been for more than a century
one of the most popular street songs in
Europe. And there is probably not a
ten-year-old boy or girl in America who
does not know the tune.
The French words, beginning “Mat
brook s’en va-t-en guerre,” were invent
ed by some forgotten French soldier
during the war of the Spanish succes
sion. They describe the supposed death
and funeral of the Duke of Marlbor
ough, which death. In the words of
Father Prout. "did not then take place,
by some mistake.” since "the subject of
the pathetic elegy was at the time of Its
composition, both alive and kicking all
before him.”
The song had nearly died out in
France when Marie Antoinette caugfet
it up from the peasant nurse she bad
employed for her baby; thereupon it
spread rapidly, as songs do in France.
Beaumarchais introduced it into "The
Marriage of Figaro." and it was used
by the red republicans for incendiary
purposes of their own.
Several sets of words have been sung
to the tune in the course of its history,
aud it has itself undergone some modi
fications. But its identity is clear
through all the changes. Probably it is
familiar to a greater number of people
at the present time than any other tune
in the world.—Youth’s Companion.
WON THE JURY.
A Couple of 8hrewd Queries and the
Railroad Lost Its Case.
A number of years ago Benjamin F.
Butler was a guest of friends In Brook
lyn. During his visit he noted the rule
of the street railway companies com
pelling conductors to register fares as
soon as passengers entered the cars
and before the fares were actually col
lected. Two or three years afterward
he represented the plaintiff In a damage
suit for $15,000 In which a Brooklyn
street railway company was the de
fendant The principal witness for
the company was the conductor of the
car on which the accident occurred,
and his testimony was so strong as to
make things look bad for Butler’s cli
ent. But Butler recalled the unusual
rule he had remarked years before, and
on cross examination he said:
“Your company requires you to ring
up fares as soon as passengers enter
the car, doesn’t It?”
“Yes.”
“Suppose a passenger boards your
car and then finds be is on the wrong
line. Do you state that fact to your
superiors, and do they make allowance
on your returns for that fare?”
“No. 1 lose the nickel.”
“Do yon mean to say the company
won’t take your word for 5 cents?”
“No, they won’t.”
“Yet,” said the shrewd veteran, turn
ing to the jury, “the company asks you
to take this conductor’s word for $15.
000."
Butler’s client received a verdict—
Brooklyn Eagle.
“Spanish Mutton.”
Dog meat, we learn from the Frank
furter Zeltung, Is largely sold In Ger
many, and more especially In Saxony,
but rarely under Its own name. Trad
ers describe It as Spanish mutton, and
their customers are less chary of ask
ing for it
Catfish In England Is treated In the
same euphemistic way. There was a
lime when this fish was never seen in
the shops. Then some fishmongerlng
genius Invented the name of “rock
salmon,” and bestowed It npon the
despised catfish, which now has an es
tablished place In the market—London
Chronicle.
The Man Fish.
Mathew Buchlnger, mentioned In old
English wonder books as the "man
fish.” was the most remarkable mon
strosity of his time. He had neither
bands, arms, feet nor legs. From his
shoulders grew two flnlike excres
cences, and along his back there were
several rows of scales. He had the
Udless eyes characteristic of the fish
species and a queer puckered mouth
and no ears.
