hand, so the little thing was put down, and
went over to him, and as his hand was still
stretched out, put her own into it. The
picture was charming. There stood the
Shah, bending his dark visage, with its
pure Oriental features, its olive skin, and
piercing eyes and long black mustaehe,
over this child of a race which had not
trait in common with his. Hers was the
fresh loveliness of Anglo-Saxon childhood,
very light yellow-brown hair, flowing out
in profusion from under her white hat, and
covering forehead and shoulders, every line
of the face rounded and breaking into dim
Piles, brown eyes looking frankly up, Just
touch Of shyness tinging the fair cheeks
with rose, but the whole figure a model of
unconscious grace and health and beautiful
young life, the type that Gainsborough
would have delighted to paint. and trying
would have failed. The Shah, over whose
conference came an expression of singu-
lar soitness, drew her to him, and pulled
one of her curls and patted her cheek, then
asked Sir Henry Rawlinson who she was.
SIR Henry, happening to know the child
father. told the Shah, and added that he
was an American. This seemed to surprise
His Majesty who had taken it for granted
that the little girl was English as she looks.
lie asked the father how long he had been in
England, and put sundry other questions,
at first in Persian through an interpreter,
and afterward directly in French, which he
speaks tolerably well. Then with another
caress for the child, who had stood with per
feet compoSure through the scene, the Shah
turned again to the tank and began watch
ing the cray fish. The little girl ran back
to her father, quite unaware that anything
unnsual had occurred.

HAIL COLUMBIA. In the Recollec-
tons of Washington" recently published,
occurs the following anecdote:
The song of Hail Columbia adapted
in measure Of the Presidents March, was
written by Joseph Hopkinson of Philadel-
phia, in 1898. AT that time war with
France was expected, and patriotic feel
ing pervaded the community Mr.. Fox, a
young singer and actor, called upon Hop
kinson one morning and said - To-mor-
row evening is the time appointed for my
benefit at the theatre. Not a single box is
taken. and | fear there will be thin house.
If you will writelme some patriotic verses
to the tune Of the Presidents March. | feel
Sure of full house. Several about the
theatre have attempted it, but they have
come to the conclusion that it can not be
done; yet think you may succeed Mr..
Hopkinson retired to his study, wrote the
first verse and chorus and submitted them
to Mr.. Fox, who sang them to a harpsi-
chord accompaniment. The tune and the
words harmonized. The song was soon
finished, and that evening the young actor
received it. The next morning the placards
that Mr.. Fox would give a new
patriotic song. The house was crowded
the song was sung-the audience was de-
light. Eight times it was called for and re-
peated, when sung the ninth time the whole
audience stood up and Joined in the chorus.
Night after night Hail Columbia was
ipplauded in the theatre. and in a few days
was the universal song Of the boys in the
streets. Such was the origin Of our ma
tional song. Hail Columbia
