the playing of the Vesper hymn origi
nated in one of .the officers' wives pre
senting the regiment with a new set
of instruments on condition, tnat me

ROMANCE THAT YET IS REAL.
History Records Facts We Hesitate to
Set Down as Such.
A peasant girl called half-witted did
promise to defeat the victors of Agin
court, and did it;, it ought to be a
legend but it happens to be a fact. A
poet and a poetess did fall in love and
eloped secretly to a sunny clime; it
is obviously a three-volume novel, but
it happened. Nelson did die in the act
of winning, the one battle that could
change the world. It is a grossly im
jirobable coincidence, but it is too
late to alter it now. Napoleon did win
the battle of Austerlitz; it is unnatur
al, but it Is not my fault. When the
general who had surrendered a repub
lican town returned saying easily: "1
have done everything." Robespierre
did ask, with an air of inquiry: "Are
you dead?" When Robespierre coughed
in his cold harangue, Gamier did say:
"The, blood of Danton chokes you."
Strafford did say of his own desertion
of parliament: "If I do it may my life
and death be set on a hill for all men
to wonder at." Disraeli did say:
"The time will come when you shall
hear me."
The heroic is a fact, even when it is
a fact of coincidence or of miracle;
and a fact is a thing which can be ad
mit'ted without being explained.
Misapplying Music.
"I went to a fashionable wedding
the other day," remarked a man whe
has little time for such things, "and
I was decidedly impressed by the
character of the music that was played
whilcihe assembled guests were wait
ing for the wedding party to arrive
The principal number played by the
orchestra was an air from one of the
most modern operas. It marks the en
trance of the heroine of the piece,
who is coming on the scene to take
part in a wedding of complaisance
with theJhero, who is generally regard
ed as one of the greatest blackguards
the world of opera knows. Ever
character on the stage knows that tht
Buddhistic wedding ceremony that is
to take place is a sham and the mar
riage turns out to be a tragedy of tht
shabbiest sort. And yet that musk
was played in a church that standt
for intelligence if any one congrega
tion In this town does."
Cult of Beauty in Bosnia.
Half a century ago a traveler In
Bosnia found the poorest peasant
woman an adept in the arts and ad
juncts of the toilet.
Her store of cosmetics was said tc
be "astonishing," comprising oil oi
roses,- rose water, extracts of musk
saffron and amber. She dyed her hah
black and dressed with with "kna,'
while' her eyebrows and eyelashes. were
darkened with a powder made from ,s
green nut burned black (schischark)
She painted herjcheeks with powdered
flower of the iris and her nails witb
yet another floral product. For a de
pilatory she .used lime and alum.
In spite of these aids, however, the
beauty of the Bosnia woman was
fading thing at 30.
Hung by Wedding Ring.
.While a woman named Gregson, of
'Swadlincote, England, was placing a
pehnyin .her gas meter she slipped,
and her wedding ring caught on a nail
In the wall. She remained hanging for
some time before help arrived. The
ring bad to be removed by a jeweler
before the doctor could dress her In

T
HAVE COMPETITION IN PRAYER.
Quaint Ceremony Held -Each Year in
'an English Churchyard.
In the little churchyard of Wottos,
near Dorking, the annual prayer com
petition for boys of the parish took
place recently at the tombstone of.
William Glanvill, the London Post
says.
" Glanvill, a member of the Inner tem
ple, died on February 2, nearly 200
years ago. In his will he stipulated
that money should be set aside to pro
duce 30 a year, of which 40 shillings '
was to go to each of five prayer boys
who should stand on February 2 year
ly at his tombstone, bareheaded, recite
from memory the Lord's Prayer, Ten
Commandments and Apostles' Creed;
read the fifteenth chapter of the First
Epistle to the Corinthians, and after
ward write from dictation in a legible
hand two verses from the same chap
ter. During upward of 200 years the
competition has been maintained. The
age limit is 12 to 16, and a boy can
only succeed once.
Recently the boys assembled in the
church porch, their names were taken
and a selection was made for the com
petition, which Is-fixed in the local cal-
endar as "Forty-shilling day." Then the
competitors marched to GlanviU's
tomb and the signal was given for the
recitation. Some of the boys, almost
stammering through the cold, secretly
rejoiced that it fell to their lot to re
peat the short commandments, but a
moment later they were called to re

JIMMIE VIEWED WITH ALARM.
Saw Dreadful Possibilities in Advent
of the New Baby.

"Well, Jiminie," said the visitor. "I
understand you have a new bab
here." '
"Yes," said Jlmmie, "he ot here
last Tuesday night."
''Whom does he look like, your fa
ther or your mother?" asked the vis
hitor.
"We don't know yet," said Jimmie.
"He sums kind of undecided yetf
"They tell me he has your father's
nose," said the visitor. ,
"Yes," said Jimmie. "He has pa's
nose, and ma's mouth, and Aunt
Sarah's ears, and between you and
me I'm for givin him grandpa's teeth.
He ain't got any of his own, and,

Monte Carlo's Balance Sheet.
The gaming tables at Monte Carlo
are once again in full swing, and the
casino is pouring into its coffers some
thing like i: 4.000 ($20,000) daily to
ward the annual million or more it ex
pects to clear before April closes. But
enormous as the casino's profits are,
its expenditure is proportionately
great and includes some strange items.
Thus it pays about 9,000 a year foi
clergy and schools, 6,000 for charity
and 20,000 for police and courts.
The maintenance of the casino runs
into hundreds of thousands of pounds.
And yet, in spite of these huge dis
bursements, the 'shareholders have lit
tle cause to grumble, for they pocket
in dividends something like 500,000
a year; and. even in a poor, year, can
rely on a return of over 30 per cent,
on their holdings.
Command Respect and Love.
Beauty of achievement, whether In
overcoming a hasty temper, a habit of
exaggeration, in exploring a continent
or guiding well the ship of state, is al
ways fascinating, and those who arc
in this fashion beautiful are never
desolate, and some one always loves
them. Frances E. Willard.

for making 'people live 15 years long
er. I ain't going to pay any attention
to 'em. The life insurance com
panies have got a good enough thing
as it is."
