She addressed and sealed the note, then
dressed herself as for journey. But her
head swan and her trembling fingers re-
fused to do her bidding. She was herself
unconscious of the terrible excitement she
had undergone, until, opening her door to
pass out, black cloud enveloped her, and
she fell prone upon the threshold.
There they found her, an hour later, and
carried her to her bed. The household was
soon around and messengers for physician

At Delphi, the most celebrated oracle in

Bowing in Holland.

Everybody bows-nobody mods, and
touching of the hat is unknown. You bow
to everyone you may have met when calling
on friend, for callers meeting are intro
duced. You give an order to gardener
or workman, and he takes off his hat with
a bow which would not bring discredit on
duke. Everyone bows on passing house
where they visit | often used to amuse
myself by watching behind a curtain to see
every second man take off his hat to the
window, it being quite immaterial whether
any of the family are visible or not; and
every second lady make polite bend of
the whole body, not a mere inclination of
the head, as our ladies do Everybody
bows. Men take off their hats to each
other; tradesmen do the same to all their
customers. A well known lady is bowed
to by all her fathers, husbands or brother S
friends, and any gentleman knowing a lady
is staying at house where he visits will
bow to her

Music in the Air.

There is 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 min
arets of the mosques. When | first heard
this music in Stuttgart, coming as it ap-
peared to me from the heavens, was puz-
zled to know its 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 invisi-
bic heavenly choir that enraptured st. Ce-
celie. A few days afterward, happening to
be in the same neighborhood, and at the
same hour of the day, was more fortunate
in my discoveries. Iagain heard the music
from above, its pealing notes coming to me
from some far distance ike the strains of
a church organ Near me was the Stifts
Kirche. an old church built in 1908, which
has attached to it an immense octagon tower
rising up to height Of nearly two hundred
feet. Encircling this tower near the top
is balcony, on which | at last espied the
authors of the strange music. Several men
with brass instruments were perched on
that giddy height playing sacred music
When they had finished one piece they
moved to another position on the balcony
and PLAYED a different tune. Four selec-
tions in all were played, one toward each
point Of the compass. On making inquir-
les afterward, found that this playing from
the church tower had been in practice for
more than hundred years. A German
lady ..once upon a 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 expenses of
this religious observance. The clause in
her viii stated that chorals or selections Of
sacred music were to be played from this
church tower twiee day, punctually every
morning at the rising Of the sun, and also
from IL 10 II at noon. The musicians
for their services are paid two marks fifty
centsl day each--a mark for the morning
and mark for the noon service, which,
for walking up and down that long fight
of steps in additional to playing several
pieces of church music, is small enough
remuneration. Chorals are also played
from another Of the church towersin Stutt-
gart by brass band, and also from the
church towersin in Ludwigsburg Rossenstein,
Frederichshafen, near Stuttgart, and in
others Of the very old German cities and
towns.-Corr. Of Springfield Repabliean.

of Russia as a link, or rather the barrier,
between east and west, was q favorable one

themselves Of it. Wars and marriages and
alliances All contributed their quota; foreign

absolute ruler of S0,000,O00 of people, a
ruler as yet innocent of cruelty or oppres-
