Episode at the Duke OfAlbany's Funeral,
 From the London World

1 Episode at the Duke ofAlbany's FuneraI | From the London WorId.l
 There has been great deal of gossip, and
 much acrimonious correspondence, during the
 last two months about an episode at the Duke | of Albany's funeral. It appears that 8 gen. tleman who has a public connection with Windsor and it's immediate neighborhood
 thought his position demanded his presence ! at the ceremony, while the queen did not
 recognize the propriety of including him in the list of invitations. However, he rose su- perior to the conventional scruples against dispensing with formal summons on such
 an occasion, and he came down from Padding
 ton in the guests special train, attired in the full dress which had been commanded. The approaches to the castle and the entrance of St. Georges were kept by Windsor police
 who, of course, recognized the uninvited
 guest, and who, knowing him. and holding
 him in reverence, never thought of demand ing his ticket. Once in the choir of the chapel.
 however, and he was spotted by the eagle eye
 of MT. Ponsonby Fane. It was impossible
 under the circumstances to run the risk of
 the fuss which request to retire might have
 produced so the individual in question was
 allowed to remain, and, Jas every possible seat
 had been filled, the result was that it was ab-
 solutely necessary to place one of the guests
 in the Duke of Albanys stall, which the
 queen had ordered to be kept empty. After
 the ceremony there WAS special back to Lon- don, paid for by the queen, for the use of the invited company. The approaches to the platform were viRilantly guarded and here the good fortune of our friend came to an end; for, on being requested te produce his ticket, he Was of course, unable to do so
 and functionsry insisted on his getting out of the train, and on his refusing to do so he was politely but firmly informed that he would be taken out by the police; so there was nothing for it but submission. He was very wroth, and in his indignation seems to have lost his commonS Ssense, for hear that Lord Sidney, Lord Ksnmare, Sir Henry Pon- sonby and Sir John Cowell have been bom- barded with letters complaining of the man ner in which he had been treated.

 was the signal for applause everywhere along the line. Their marching was certainly su- perb. The Second appeared with fuller Sanks than was generally anticipated, The rain began falling ss the parade was leaving the Green and soon a strong shower had de- veloped. People hurried to the vacant places of shelteH
 After the parade the Green was cleared of people for large space and the Seventh gave fine dress parade arter being re- viewed by His Honor Mayor Lewis. Upon the temporary stand erected in front of Center church sat Mayor Lewis General Merwin, members of the reception commit tee and manyssothers. All pronounced the ex- hibtion of the Seventh as one of the finest ever witnessed here
 After the parade the soldiers of New York were escorted to the depot by the city bat talion and left the city at 7:45 on a special train. The Grays remained until the train moved of and hearty cheers on both sides rent the air.
 An exchange appropriately says of the Seventh: The Seventh regiment of New York lends distinction to any occasion it RrRces by it's presence. It may be called the nonparel of militia organizations, and as body of picked citizen sol diery it has no superior in the world. There is no finer regiment in the world from the parade point of view, but it is not dilet- tante body, and does not owe its reputation as we have said to its drill or it's clothes. Composed of the best social material, it has always been as noted for it's patriotism and pluck as for it's discipline, but 1t is something to be proud of that the American gentleman is the best soldier and the best citizen.

| So the years went by. Sometimes,
when they were alone, the farmer 6
wife wouie remind her husband OF
the magic ring, and suggest many
plans. But as he always answered
that they had plenty of time, and
that the best thoughts come last, she
more and more rarely mentioned the
ring. and at last the good woman
ceased speaking of it altogether.
To be sure, the farmer looked at
the ring and twirled it about as
many as twenty times day, but he
was very careful never to wish.
After thirty or forty years had
passed away and the farmer and his
wife had grown old and white haired
and their wish was still unasked'
then was God very good to them,
and on the same night they died
peacefully and happily.
Weeping children and grandchil
dren surrounded the two collins
and as one wished to remove the
ring from the still hand as a re-
membrance, the eldest son said:
Let our father take his ring into
the grave. There was always q
mystery about it; perhaps it was
some dear remembrance. Our
mother, too, so often looked at the
ring-she may have given it to bin
when they were young.
So the old farmer was buried with
the ring that was supposed to be a
wish ring, and was not yet II
brought as much good fortune into
the home as heart could desire.-S

Lengthening Short Women.

The London World tells of new
contrivance for making ladies taller.
The woman who is to undergo this
process is placed in a very tight
corset, and her feet are placed in
very tight shoes weighted with fifty
pounds of lead each. She is then
placed in a machine consisting of a
ring which ereirles her waist and is
suspended from the ceiling at such
height as to prevent her feet from
touching the ground. The pressure
of the corset forces the upper part OF
her body upward, and the weight OF
the shoes stretches her from the
weight downward. 1t is estimated
that the extreme length to which
the spine can be stretched by the
process thus described is two inches,
and that the knee and hip joints can
be stretched an inch and a halt
more. Thus three inches and a
half can be added to the height of
ain ost any woman wSo has courage
to undergo the trouble and pain
necessarily connected With astretch-
ing process lasting with brief inter-
walls, during five and six months.
