Unlike Some Musicians, Sir Arthur
Recognized His Own Music.
Mr. Blackburn went to Rome just
after hearing for the first time “The
Yeoman of the Guard.” One night,
•walking through the Piazza di
Spagna, he was whistling “Strange
‘Adventure,” with .absolutely no con
cern and just for the love of the
music. A window was suddenly
opened, and a little face looked out
m
"WHO’S THAT WHISTLING MY MUSIC?"
in the moonlight, while a thin voice
exclaimed in apparent seriousness,
“Who's that whistling my music?”
Mr. Blackburn looked up with some
awe, and told the gentleman that if
he were Sir Arthur Sullivan it was
his music that he was whistling, but
added that “he thought the copy
right did not extend to Italy.” Sir
Arthur, convulsed with laughter,
closed the window to shut out the
chill of the night.—Fortnightly Re
view.
Emperor William and the Dusky Cook.
Emperor William of Germany
was initiated into the mysterious
merits of a Smithfield ham several
years ago during the ceremonies at
tending the opening of the great
canal at Kiel, writes William E. Cur
tis in the Chicago Record-dlerald.
Captain Robley Evans, who is some
times known as “Fighting Bob” be
cause of his picturesque profanity
and the peculiar manner in which
he shivers his timbers, was present
on that occasion as the representa
tive of the government of the Unit
ed States and in the course of
events invited the emperor to dine
on board the flagship ISTew York.
It was purely an American dinner,
and a Smithfield ham occupied the
center of the table, roasted to the
proper degree and stuck full of
cloves. The emperor was helped to
ham four or five times and‘apolo
gized for the compliment by saying
that it was the best he had ever
tasted.
“Why can we not have such hams
in Germany ?” he exclaimed.
“There would be no trouble about
it,” retorted the .diplomatic Evans,
“if your majesty would remove the
restrictions from American pork.”
The emperor's suit turned pale
with alarm at this bold thiust of the
Yankee sailor, but his majesty smiled
and listened to the dissertation on
the subject of hams and the pecul
iarity of the Smithfield brand.
Captain Evans explained, by the
way, that hams were often spoiled
in the cooking.
“This one certainly was r|J.” re
turned the emperor, “and r^.ould
like to compliment your cook.”
“IT1 send for him if your majesty
pleases,” said Evans.
The captain’s cook on hoard the
Hew York was a colored man named
George, who has followed the for
tunes of “Fighting Bob” for many
years, and when he was summoned
to meet an emperor he responded in
-his white cap and jacket and apron.
“George,” said the captain; “the
^emperor of Germany desires to com
pliment you upon your cooking.^
George grinned and bowed with
the grace of a Chesterfield, and
when the emperor extended his im
perial hand for him to kiss George,
not being in the habit of meeting
emperors, grasped it firmly in his
own and gave it a hearty shake.
The emperors aids almost fainted
at this unconscious exhibition of
leze majesty. Captain Evans tried
to hide his amusement, and the em
peror, who enjoyed it most of all,
tossed a big goldpiece to the darky
as the latter retired.
i
Geographical Names,
i If any one should speak to you
! about “'s Gravenhaag,” you would
! perhaps not know that they were
I talking about The Hague, but they
I would be, and would also be per-
| fectly right, according to the second
i report of the American board of
! geographic names, just issued from
! the government printing office at
! Washington. Though the board
| does not hope for a reform in such
j matters, it says that the custom of
! anglicizing names of foreign places
is absurd and hopes we will go no
further in that direction, though we
continue to say “The Hague,” “Ger
many” instead of “Deutschland,
“Italy” instead of “Italia,” and so
on through the list.
We must not write “Pittsburgh;
for the board says the final “h“
“burgh” should be dropped.
Further, the board says we must,
as far as possible, avoid the posses
sive forms; spell “centre” as here
given in geographical names; change
“borough” to “boro;” drop the
hyphen entirely; also drop the
words “city” and “town” as parts
of names, and entirely eliminate
diacritic characters.—Hew York

A Palatial Log House.
George Davey, a farmer near Car
thage, Mo., has built a log house,
which is thus described by a local
paper: “It is the most palatial log
house in the west. A fine hard
wood mantelpiece is being put in,
with tile in front of the old fire
place. Rich paintings, brought
from Paris by Mr, Davey himself,
and Italian statuary adorn the walls.
Draperies and tapestry are being
hung and comfortable furniture has
been put in to make this bachelor
hall the most luxurious imagina
ble.”
The Great Duse's Birthplace.
In a biography of Eleonora Duse
by Luigi Rasi, Which will shortly
appear at Florence,* there is an in
teresting story of the famous
actress' infancy. She was born in
a wagon near Venice and was being
taken to a church for baptism, ac
cording to local custom, in a glass
cradle ornamented with gold when
a detachment of Austrian soldiers
came along. Regarding this sump
tuous cradle as a shrine full of holy
relics, they respectfully presented
arms.—London Chronicle.
7. Afraid of His Own Medicine.
The philosophic reader with a
sense of humor will he interested
in the ease of the Chicago parachute
manufacturer who was accidentally
locked into his shop by the janitor
the other day. The shop was on the
third floor, and there were para
chutes ou every hand, neverthe
less, the manufacturer shouted till
he attracted attention and then
waited till the fire department
brought a ladder and took him
down.

A LITTLE NONSENSE,
Mix Up In Graves Causes Some Trou-
ble.
“Here,” said the widow, rushing
into the office of the man who dealt
in tombstones. “I refuse to pay you
for the old monument you want to
palm off on me. My poor, poor hus
band! He had picked np a stick of
dynamite and was trying to find out
whether it was any good or not when
the accident happened. Ah, me!
All we ever found of him was the
left leg. That we placed in the
grave with due ceremony. Oh, Wil
liam! William ! It isn't much, but
what there is of it is sacred to me.”
“But, madam,” the dealer in mar
ble said, “what have I to do with all
this ?”
“What have you to do with it?”
she cried. “Haven't your men gone
out there and put a slab with ‘He
Rests In Peace' on it over that leg?
People who know anything about
the circumstances would wonder
whenever they saw the inscription
why I didn't have it made ‘He Rests
In Pieces!' You take that down
before tomorrow or I'll hire some
body to do it.”
An investigation showed that the
workmen had made a mistake in
graves.—Chicago Record-Herald.
