Historic Bennington.


The ceremony Of defeating the mon

tie of Bennington crowded that little
Vermont town to overlooking The
presence of the President Of the United
States and members of his Cabinet, as
well as the Governors Of three States,
gave the event more than local interest
1t brought people from all parts of the
United States, but particularly from the
New England States, to witness and
take part in the ceremony. Probably in
the whole history of Bennington no such
distinguished gathering will be held
again. At the encampment grounds
around the Soldiers Home, where the
interest Of the event centered during
the early part of the day, the soldier
boys were aroused by the reveille

was up with the. soldiers, for with the
first break of dawn the streets began to
assume lively appearance and the
roads leading into town commenced to
empty their stream of wagons and car
riages into the camp grounds. Every
private as well as every public house in
Bennington was crowded and many slept
on the lawns, while hundreds we're glad
to find sleeping quarters in tents which
afforded little protection to the chill

.The star-spangled Banner.Y

In Lassing's Pictorial Field Book OF
the war of 1912" it is recorded that the
"Star-Spangled Banner" was first sung
In restaurant in Baltimore, next door
to the Holiday Street Thester, by
Charles Durang to an assemblage OF
the patriotic defenders of the city, and
after that nightly at the theater.
This statement is slightly inaccurate,
and, though it is one of no great his
torical Importance, it involves matter
of sufficient interest to justify a cor
rection, says writer in Kate Fields
Washington. The first person to sing
that spirited song-which, though given
a foreign air and commemorative q
single episode in our country's history,
has filled millions of American hearts
with patriotic emotion-was q lad II
years of age, the scene of his childish
effort being neither a restaurant nor q
theater, but the open street in front OF
Capt. Benjamin Edes' printing Office in
Baltimore, ON the second day after the
bombardment of Fort McHenry. It is
worthy of record too, that the person
who first set up" the song, printed it,
and distributed it to the citizens OF
Baltimore was also a boy-an appren-
tice of Capt. Edes-the whole thing
being done while the gallant captain
was still out of the city with his regi-
ment, the Twenty-seventh Maryland
infantry, which three days before had
acted with CONSPICUOUS bravery at the
battle of North Point.
The name of the apprentice boy,
then II or Is years old, was Samuel
Sands. He lived a much respected
citizen of Baltimore, to very old age.
This little singer was James Lawren-
son, who afterward for nearly seventy
years was connected with the postoffice
department, and was also employed for
probably half that time as writer fol
the National I1ateIliger1cer, che Phila'
delphia Ledger, and the Baltimore Sun.
He died last year, nearly so years old,
at his home in Baltimore, universally
loved and honored.

Jewels I'm the British Resall..

Few people have the faintest idea of
the value of the jewels contained in
the regalia of the British crown. Let
US look first at the crown jewels proper.
The crown itself is composed of a vel
vet cap surrounded by silver hoops.
The hoops are set with jewels and upon
the crown is a jewel-studded bail, sur
rounded with brilliants in the form
of Maltese cross. There are three
hundred and eighty-three diamons noted
in the description of the crown, be-
sides pearls. sapphires. rubies, emeralds
and many smallar diamonds, the whole
valued at 1862. 600.
In the jewel room we find besides
this crown,,, the imperial crown ofCharles
II, the Prince of Wales crown, and
the crown of the ancient queen.
Looking farther, we find the baptis-
NAL font which was used at the baptism
of both Queen Victoria and the Prince
of Wales, valued at 5000, 900, and large
wine fountain, costing $4,000. After
these come many smaller pieces, among
which are st. Edwards staff, the royal
scepter, the rod of equity, the swords of
of justice, temporal and ecclesiastical,
the Queens scepter, which is of ivory,
mounted in gold, with a dove OF white
onyx, aud the orb, edged with pearls
and surmounted with roses composed
of diamonds.
There are many others, but we will
only notice one more, and that is the
spoon used at the coronation of Brit
ish sovereign to receive tho conse-
Grated oil from the receptacle which
holds it in quantity. 1t is of gold, bord-
cred with gems and is said to be the
Oldest piece in the collection, having
been used by Edward the Confessor
who died in 1906.
The value of the entire collection is
variously estimated, but medium es-
innate places it at $14, 100000.

Am Heirloom.

In an old French household in New
York the most carefully cherished heir,
loom is slipper which was worn by
Marie Antoinette in the last days before
the French Revolution. 1t was one Of
the precious relics in the baggage of a
court lady who fed with her husband
to Louisiana when the storm broke.
She left the tiny, blue, faded slipper tc
her daughter, with the injunction that
it should go down in the family, to the
eldest daughter, if she never allowed
herself to have corns.
1t is pretty slipper, and has been
carefully kept in the iewel-case of one
Frenchwoman after another, so that il
is perfectly preserved.
1t is short, very narrow, and very
high-heeled and is brocaded blue, lined
with soft white silk. The sole is Of
coarse-grained leather, and there are
three satin straps over the instep
fastened with paste buckle.
The pointed toe is embroidered with
silver threads, and the edges are bound
with silver braid.
The condition regarding its inherit
ance has always been strictly regarded.
The women of the house have taken
great care OF their feet that they might
rightfully claim the unhappy Queens
slipper, and for hundred years there
has not been pinching shoe worn il
that family.
A relic of this sort would be boon
in good many households. if it had the
effect of inducing the daughters &c
abandon the tight boots. which iniure
not only their feet, but their gait and

BEYOND THE SUNSET.


The road that passed his fathers door
He thought stretched on forever more:
Through fragrant Wales of tangled grass,
Ger many misty mountain pass,
Out into wonders unexpressed
Beyond the c1oudl1nds of tine west.
Through lands and cities OF renown,
TO where the mighty sun goes down.
And so he left his fathers door
And said II will return no more.s
He Travelled forth beyond the bridge,
He climbed the lofty mountain ridge,
He passed the river and the town
To find out where the sun went down;
But when he sank ut close Of day,
The sunset was still far away.
He trod through many wind-swept glen
In mighty towns he mixed with men;
The breath of many an alien breeze
Tossed him DER unfamiliar seas;
He breathed the spicy gale that blows
From Southern archipelagoes,
And in the quiet eastern calm
He sought sweet sleep beneath the palm,
But when he looked at close of day,
The SUNSET still was far away.
He thought to leave his fathers dooa
And travel on forever more.
A withered pilgrim, bent and gray,
Kept on his unfamiliar way.
Deep versed. in lands, man of men,
An universal citizen.
He circled all the earth once more
He stood before his fathers door
Though many years his father slept
Upon the mountain side unwept--
He stood there as the sun went down,
And In the twilight dim and gray
The sunset was not far away.
Out from the many millions hurled
He sank down weary of the world,
With all his tired journey DER
To die beside his fathers door,
And said. sad smile ON his brow,
II pass beyond the sunset now"

who keeps drug store, sells all
medicines, comes in direct contact
with the patients and their families,
and knows better than anyone else
how remedies sell, and what true
merit they have. He hears of all

winter a lady called
Hoarseness, at my store, who was
suffering from very
severe cold. She could hardly talk,
and I told her about German Syrup
and that few doses would give re-
lief; but she had no confidence in
patent medicines. I told her to take
a bottle, and if the results were not
satisfactory would make no charge
for it. A few days after she called
and paid for it, saying that she
would never be without it in future as
a few doses had given her relief" o
