he struck down helmeted gendarme,
who had ordered him to remove his

passing. For this he was imprisoned
and only secured his release through
the strenuous efforts of the American
Minister there. Yet late one after

THEY ARE MEN AT TEN.

Boys Have But Short Childhood In
Corea.
In Corea, the tiny little Kingdom
over which China and Japan are
threatening to have such a dreadful
row, the boys are called men as soon
as they reach the age of ten. They
receive their final names at that age,
and assume the garments of full
grown men, all except the horsehair
hat, which they can not put on until
they have passed through period of
probation. Permission to wear the
horsehair hat is the final art of trans
forming the small boy into real.

that the church was built in the year

contains these words: Portraits and

Whatever his intention, he seems
half-ashamed of it, for he takes hur-

hesitates again before his resolve is

JENNIE LIND MEMORIAL,
Beautiful Medallion in Poets Corner
Westminster Abbey,

Westminster Abbey.
Jenny Lind has already one monument
in England, in the Infirmary for Chill
dren, at Norwich which she founded,
and the London Daily News describes
the unvailing of this other in Westmin-
ster Abbey. The duty was performed
by Princess Christian, who was accom-
panied by her husband and daughter,
| and there were some hundreds ofss..wit-
nesses specially invited, who met in
Poets Corner, and a crowd of the public,
who, of their own accord, gathered out
side of the temporary barrier The
family of the great singer was represent
Mrs. Raymond Maude, her daughter, and
Mr.. Goldschmidt, her son. The memori-
al was got up by small committee of
enthusiasts, including Sir G.Grovee, Sir
A. Sullivan, Lord sThring, Lord c.
Bruce, who were all present in the
abbey. Dean Bradley received the royal
party and the mem bers of the Gold
schmidt family, and conducted them to
the south side of POETS Corner, where IL
white sheet directly under the statue of
George Frederick Handel. Esq.," Gas he
is chiseled on the base of Rou biliac's

to the tribute to Jenny Lind. 1t was a
very appropriate situation, for the truly
great composer is represented standing
hand, open at the words and music of .
Know that my Redeemer Liveth. !"
Jenny Lind's singing of this exquisite
air was always one of the strongest re-
! mem ORANGES of those who heard her in
her prime, and, as presently appeared, it
was the text selected as the most APP
propriate inscription for the memorial.
Without any delay, the royal visitors
having ranged themselves in front of
Westmacott's conspicuous figure of
Joseph Addison, with it's lofty basement
and long Latin inscription, Dean Brad
ley read one or two short prayers, and
Princess Christian, touching the regula-
ton cord. released the draping and re-
vealed medallion with most express
j We profile likeness, in firm relief, of .Ten-
ny Lind. 1t was Birch's last finished
work, and besides the aforementioned
text was the inscription, "Jenny Lind
Goldschmidt, born October 6, 1920, died
November 2, 1885," The dean then for
mally proclaimed, 81 have to announce
that the memorial to Madame Jenny
Lind Goldschmidt is added to the monu-
ments of this church-the abbey of West
minister"
The soft strains of the organ. played
by Prof. Bridge. were now heard, and
with them the clear treble of one of the
soloist boys of the choir, in the beauti-
ful air, Il Know that my Redeemer
Liveth." Princess Christian also chose
the unaccompanied trio, Lift Thine
Eyes" from "Elijah," which succeeded
To these pieces Prof. Bridge added the
organ performance of the pastorale and
chorale from Otto Goldtschmidt's sacred
cantata Ruth" A concluding prayer
and the benediction by the dean brought
the simple ceremony to a close.
