Shortly after an angry looking couple I Bounced out of the chapel the pastor I of an uptown church presented a per i plexed countenance before the busy rexton As you know said he I am new in this parish and new in the city Perhaps there are a few tilings I ought o know Why for instance do so many people who never attend service in tills church wisli to be married here Because our church said the sex ton has the name of turning out the joungest and handsomest brides In New Vork Our reputation for good works is dwarfed by our reputation for beautiful brides To say that a woman is married here is equivalent to saying that she is a good looker We are not supposed to deal in brides of any other description No wonder groaned the pasror that that plain looking woman went away in a huff I earnestly advised her to be married in her own parish New York Globe Wonders of a Japanese Hamlet Perhaps the most astonishing presen tation of Hamlet ever seen on ay stage was a Japanese version given by native actors at Kobe The Kobe Hor rid descrilies it as a wonderful mix ture of the beautiful and the gro tesque With an Ophelia sometimes in graceful kimono and sometimes in western evening costume and a king who at one time appears ii the pic turesque costume of a Japanese no e man and at others dons a silk hat and a swallowtail coat the effect is so kaleidoscopic that a spectator has the sensation of being perpetually trans ferred from one phase of civilization to another The climax is reached Ilanilet himself who in the earlier scenes wears the uniform of a student of the Imperial university in the third act makes his appearance on a bicycle clad in a bright blue cycling suit and striped stockings and at the finish is seen in conventional evening dress with a flower in his buttonhole The Sixteenth Century Carver At the formal banquet of the sie teenth century the man who carved the meat was bound with the red tape of precedent When can iug for dis tinguished guests lie had to remem ber that certain parts of the bird or meat must be set aside In carving for his lord and lady he was expected to exercise great discretion in the size of the pieces lie sent round for ladies will be soon angry and their thoughts soon changed and some lords are soon pleased and some not as thev be of complexion He was expected j to have the rules both of the kitchen and the peerage at his knifes end A pike for instance must be dished up whole for a lord and In slices for commoner folk The rank of his din ers too determined whether a pig was to be served up whole sliced plain or with gold leaf or whether new bread or bread three days old should be eaten A Hungry Rabbit I do not think I was ever so non plused in ray life said a conjurer as once when performing my card and rabbit trick I ask a member of the audience to tear a card into small pieces and give them all to me except one Later in the trick I produce a rabbit from a box and tied round its neck is a card with a piece missing It I is then found that the piece which the member of the audience holds exactly fits and completes the second card On this particular occasion I allowed the rabbit to remain in the box too long and when I produced him found that he had chewed the card round his neck to bits Needless to say the laughter when the audience grasped the trick the animal had played on me was loud and long As Walter Saw It Walter aged seven is a wise son who knows not only his own father but his own mother likewise Now Walter said the teacher if your lather could do a piece of work in one hour and your mother could also do it in one hour how long would it take both of them to do it together Three hours replied the scholar without hesitation Wrong said the teacher How do you make that Three hours repeated Walter stol idly counting the time theyd waste arguing about how it should be done London Scraps All Marriages Are Love Marriages Was it a love marriage do you think Certainly All marriages are love marriages Isnt that rather a sweeping state ment Not at all There is a love of ad venture you know love of luxury love of advertising and various other kinds of love There is no

voyage ot the lirst white man Hudson up the ma jestic Hudson river The recent arrival in New York of the reproduction of Hudsons ship the Half Moon is the occasion for special Uie momentous entry of Hudson into the historic river The new Half Moon which was built for the coming celebration by the people of Holland came across the Atlantic in twelve days on board a much larger ship the Soestdyke of the Holland America line She could have sailed across on her own account but it was not thought advisable to take any chances of her being wieeked or in some way being prevented from taking part in the celebration as planned She is of i oak with a high poop and long nosed j bow Her length is seventy four feet and beam sixteen feet and she is equipped with two small cannon Jn her cabin is a library such as Hudson must have had a IJible a prayer book and a few lolunies on navigation and geography With the Clermont and a large escorting ileet the Half Moon will sail up the Hudson to Albany

northeast passage Chagrined at his failure in this di rection and determined to win suc cess somehow if possible he proposed to his crew to search for a northwest passage by one of two routes One route was by way of Davis strait which had been discovered by John Davis in 15S4 The other alternative was to go to the coast of America to the latitude of 40 degrees This idea had been suggested to him by some letters and maps which his frieud Captain John Smith had sent to him from Virginia and by which Smith had informed him that there was a sea leading ino the western ocean be tween New England aud Virginia Hudson turned his prow toward the Vmcricau coast reached it July 12 Hid after touching on the coast of Maine and later exploring Chesapeake md Delaware bays he reached a point ivhich is probably the Xavesink Iligli ands on the south side of New York bay at 5 oclock on the afternoon of Sept 2 As New York bay is regarded as he mouth of the Hudson river Sept 2 is the commonly accepted date of Budsons first personal acquaintance with the stream which bears his name week was spent in exploring the adjacent waters with the small boat They entered- on the 12th of Septem ber into as fine a river as can be found They ascended the river as wind and tide served always anchor ing at night and by Sept 19 the Half Moon had reached her farthest north jpposite Albany The friendly relations betwen Hud son and the Indians of the upper reaches of the river had a Dg effect on the history of the state on Aug sv less man a moniu ueiore Hudsons arrival at the site of Albany and a
