Graves at CuIlOden.

Many will be interested to learn that
the graves or trenches in which the bod
les of the unfortunate Highlanders
were buried after the battle of Culloden
are being cared for by the present pro-
prietor ofthe estate of Culloden. Formerly
the graves were distinguishable in the
level green sward at the roadside only
by the slightly-raised sod. But stones
bearing the names of the clans have just
been erected at the head of each trench.
On one stone Is inscribed the names of
the clans "M'Gillivray, MLean and
M'Lauchlan," and there are separate
stones for "Clan Stuart of fAppin, ""Clan
Cameron, and T" Clan Macintosh. F"
Two graves are marked "Clans mixed. !"
At the abortive "great cairn" a slab
has been placed bearing the following
inscription 1.-THE battle of Culloden
was fought on this moor, 10th April,
1746. The graves of the gallant High
landcrs who fought for Scotland and
Prince Charlie are marked by the names
of their clans" The interesting prehis-
tor remains at Q ava have also received
some attention from the owner of the
property. Some of the standing stones
which had fallen down have been set up;
unfortunately, one or two have been
made to face in the reverse way from
what they did originally. The place
otherwise has been improved. In clear
ing up the ground round the largest
circle, paved, or rather cause
waved, paths have been discovered lead
ing from the base of the cairn in {
strsight line to three of theouter standing
stones. Local arch@ologists have alse
found a great number of "cup mark
ings" on the stones in this locality. One
stone discovered had cup marks upor

keas,es wich is jest alike IS twins,
The Story of a Renrd.

During soiree given ut the Winter
Palace, in st. Petersburg, in the reign
of the Gar Nicholas, some forty years
ago. the conversation happened to turn
upon luxuriant grOwths of hair, and
Governor of distant province remarked
that he had frequently noticed, i'll the
chief town of his Government, a veneer
able Jew, whose countenance was
adorned by a beard of extraordinary
length and beauty. "How should like
10 see himp calculated lady, smiling
vinningly at the narrator. "Your High
ness least wishes are commands" re-
plied the Governor; and that very night
he dispatched courier to the provincial
capital with peremptory order that the
Hebrew should be forwarded to him
without delay. On-receipt of this COM
raand, the local authorities at once
caused the jew to be conveyed post
haste to st. Petersburg. His protesta-
tons of innocence were ignored. When,
after travelling for more than a fortnight,
he reached his destination, the police
officials, learning from his escort that he
had been sent thither at the express or
der of the Governor, assumed that he
must be q criminal of the deepest dye.
accordingly they thrust him into dun
geon, having first caused his hair to be
clipped close and his beard shaved off,
in conformity with prison regulations.
By this time several weeks had elapsed
since the conversation above alluded to
had taken place, and the lady's whim
had been forgotten alike by herself and
the Governor. AS, therefore, no ques-
tons were asked about the luckless He
brew, he remained immured in his cell,
aud might have spent the remainder of
his days there had not his relatives,
wealthy traders, bestirred themselves to
obtain his release. When they succeed
ed in directing official attention to his
case, it came out, to the infinite amuse-
ment of the Russian court, that his
beautiful beard, the motive of his mar
tyrdom, had long since ceased to exist,
and with it the necessity for his further
soiourn in st. Petersburg. He was,
therefore, set at liberty, grimly congrat-
ulated upon his "lucky escape, and sol
emily warned "never to do it again.

Storm Signals of Married Life.

A marriage has other uses than those
of perpetuating the race. In this great
city there are thousands of refined, high
strung, intelligent, appreciative, but
lone, desolate souls, for whom it would
be an earthly paradise to rest ever so
little in the shade of really peaceful
household. But such peace must be
genuine. 1t must not be any patched
up atfair-any show of affection between
husband and wife before the guests face
and snarl behind his back. It's lust
this lack of harmony between husband
and wife that makes so many households
as tomb to visit. It's bad sign when
the wife's friends are hustled out of the
husbands presence into another room.
It's bad sign when the husbands Wis.
itors are not the wife's visitors. and rice

O sneer, more or less subdued, of the
/" trivialities of fashion," and deems it
beneath him to assist his wife in choos-
ing dress pattern. Marriage partner
ship must mean partnership in every
thing, or there's social desert for one
party or the other to travel over pretty
often. We are talking of married life
as we have seen it in the houses of great

and Generals, of lawyers and politicians,
among whom also both great and little
men are to be found. Graphic.

A Pretty German Custom .

There is a beautiful custom among the
Germans of having chorals played from
the church towers at regular hours Of
the day. 1t Is said they first derived
the idea from the Arabs, who at certain
hours of the day and night are called to
prayers by the long wailing cry of the
muezzins from the minarets of the
mosques. When l first heard this music
in Stuttgart, coRsing as 1t appeared TO
me from heaven, / was puzzled to know
It's object and the sources whence it
came. | gazed above and around me,
but / failed to detect its source. The
beautiful melody, softened by distance,
was floating in the air. 1t was like the
invisible heavenly choir that enraptured
st. Cecilia. A few days afterward, hap
pening to be in the same neighborhood
and at the same hour of the day. was
more fortunate in my discoveries. l
again heard the music from above, its
pealing notes coming TO me from some
far distance like the strains of church
organ. Near me was the Stifts Kirche
an old church built in 1908, which has
attached to ii an immense octagon tower
rising up to n height of nearly 200
feet. Encircling this near the top is
a balcony, on which / at last espied
the authors of the strange music
Several men with brass instruments
were perched ON that giddy height play
ing sacred music. When they had fin
ished one piece they moved to another
position ON the balcony and played diff
ferent tune. -Four selections in all were
played, one toward each point of the
compass. On making inquiries after
ward found that this playing from the
church tower had been in practice for
more than 100 years. A German lady
"once upon time" belonging to one
of the noble families, bequeathed sum
of money, the income of which was ever
after to be devoted to paying the ex-
penses of this religious observance. The
clause in her will stated that chorals or
selections of sacred music were to be
played from this church tower twice a
day, punctuafly every morning at the
rising of the sun, and also from half pas
ii to II at noon. The musicians for
their services are paid marks $50 cents
day each-a mark for the morning and
a mark for the noon service-which, for
walking up and down that long flight OF
steps, in addition to playing several
pieces of church music, is a small enough
remuneration. Chorals are also played
from another of the church towers In
Stuttgart by brass band, and also from
church towers IN Ludwigsburg, Rossen-
stein, Friederichshafen, near Stuttgart,
and in others of the very old German
cities and towns.-SprinQtfetd Repuo-
