Perhaps He Was justified.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-Fritz
Scheele, leader of the Golden Gate
Park band, laid down his baton yes
terday in the middle of an elaborate
Decoration day programme and re-
fused to play any more, on account
of the wretched music produced by
the band. Scheele, who is a German
musician of renown, played at Old
Vienna at the worlds fair, at the
close of which he came to the mid
winter fair.

Large Psrqulsites for the Attendants
Sales in the Easements.
In the Austrian court it is contrary
to custom for perishable articles to ap-
pear twice on the imperial table. The
result is large perquisites for the at
tendants. To one man fall all the un-
corked bottles, to another the joints,
and to another still the game or the
sweets. Every morning a sort of mar
ket is held in the basement of the pal
ace, where the Viennese come readily
to purchase the remains. And there is
no other means of procuring Imperial
Tokay than this.
Long ago in England even the great
est men in the land were pleased to re-
ceive such perquisites. In the reign of
Henry H., for instance, the lord chan
cellor was entitled to the candle ends
of one great and forty small candles
per day. And the aquarius, who must
be baron in rank, received a penny
for drying towels on every ordinary
occasion of the kings bathing. The
ceremonial that the revolution swept
away the first Emperor Napoleon was
Careful 10 revive IN a less extreme form,
and it is characteristic of the man that
he made special study of it, and went
so far as to prescribe the special forms
to be observed on great occasions.
The ceremonial of the Chinese court
is somewhat exacting. 1t used to in
clude, if it does not now, complete
prostration before the throne. Last
century Persian envoy refuse to go
through the degrading ordeal. Direc-
tions were given to the officials to
compel him by stratagem to do so. On
arriving one day at the entrance to
the hall of audience the envoy found
no means of going in except by a
wicket, which would compel him to
stoop very low. With great presence
of mind and considerable audacity the
ambassador turned around and en-
tered backward, thus saving the honor
of his country.-N. Y. Post

Paving a Kings Doctor. 1910.

The first notice we find of royal pay.
ments to physician was when Nicho-
las de Fernehan was called to the court
of Henry III. at a salary, until he be-
came bishop of Durham. In the ac-
counts for the royal household, which
date from the thirty-third year of
Henry VI, and continue during the
reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII,
we find no regular allowance was made
to the royal physicians-they were
given a reward" i. e., honorarium;
the royal apothecaries, however, were
paid as in the form of legal demand.
Among the Cottonian manuscripts in the
British museum are the accounts of
Henry VIII. On May 16, in the twen-
ty-first year of his reign we note: ITO

The Devil of Trees.

The most wonderful forest tree in the
world perhaps is the ''cannibal tree" of
Australia, which some one has aptly
called 1.-THE most wonderful of Gods
many wonders in vegetable life. 1t
grows up in the shape of huge pine
apple and seldom attains height of
more than IL feet. 1t has a series of
broad, boardlike leaves, growing in a
fringe at the apex, which reminds one
of gigantic Central American agave
When standing erect, these broad, thick
leaves hide curious looking arrange
ment, which appears to perform the
same functions as those of the pistils in
flowers. Naturally these boardlike
leaves, which are from 10 to 10 feet
long in the smaller specimens and from
Is to 90 in the larger, hang TO the
ground and are strong enough to bear a
mans weight.
In old aboriginal times in the anti
podean wilds, the natives worshiped the
,annibal tree under the name of the
devil tree" the chief part of the cere-
mony consisting of driving one of their
number up the leaves of the tree to the
apex. The instant the victim would
touch the so called "pistiles" of the
monster the leaves would instantly fly
together like a trap, squeezing the life
out of the intruder. Early travellers de-
clared that the tree held its victim until
every particle of flesh disappeared On
this account it is called the 'cannihsl
tree. st. Louis Republic
