The Anthem.

The rustic cholr's greatest show was
always made in the anthem. in which
some pumpkin had generally a solo to
exhibit his ''lusty voice." II was Z"

hear it and felt SO satiated that they

Shakespeare made Sir John Falstaf lose
his voice with ''hallooing and singing of

may reasonably be supposed that he had
become SO impressed with this part Of
the service in his own day that he

lOMa's Wonderful Ice Cave,

One of the greatest curiosities in the
Mississippi valley is IA natural ice cave
which is located in the bluffs of the
Iowa river within less than a mile of De-
corah. the county seat of Winnesheik
county. This unique curiosity is indeed
IL natural icehouse-a cavern in which
great icicles may be found at any season
Of the year, being especially fine i'll sum
mer. when the weather is hot and dry
outside. The bluff in which the ave is
located is between 600 and 400 feet in
height. it being necessary to climb about
IS feet up the side of the bluff to reach
the mouth of the cave. The entrance is
a assure about 10 feet in width aud he
tween Is and 90 feet in height. from
which a constant current Of cold air
issues.
Thirty feet from the mouth of the
cave the passage turns toward the left
and downward. toward the river bed
The slope is very gradual. however. and
the walls and the roof are within easy
reach all the while. After you have
reached u spot 100 feet from the opening
you entered. it is noticed that the walls
and roof are covered with frost. Twenty
feet farther u thin coating Of ice is no.
ticed, which increases in thickness as you
go into the bluff.-St. Louis Republic.

The Sedan Chair.

The sedan chair is named after Sedan,
the town where it was first used. The
earliest mention Of it in England occurs
in 1881. EARLY in the following century
the Duke of Buckingham caused much
indignation by its use in London. Peo-
pie were exasperated at that nobleman
employing his fellow men to take the
place Of horses to carry him. Prince
Charles brought from Spain in 1921
three cur:ously wrought sedans. two OF
which he gave to the Duke Of Bucking-
ham. A few weeks after their introduc-
ton Massinger produced his play, THE
B%ondinan." and in it he thus adverts to
the ladies.
For their poInp and care being borne
In triumph on mems shoulders.
The reference is doubtless to Bucking-
hams sedan. which was borne like q

\ There is a queer fashion, moro
prevalent in England than with us
perhaps entirely confined to England
and few anglomaniacs in Germany
and this country-of wearing a glass
before one eye only. This custom
probably originated with short
sighte! people who, wishing to he
able to see at a distance with one eye
and near at hand with the other.
armed the short sighted eye with .
glass and left the other in q condition
In which it worked easily without
one. An English gentleman lately
told me that this fashion arose from
