And the Sun King, having summoned
myrlads Of doves. the shenaerd was
obliged to cross the river on their
wings.
The only comfort of the lovers was
to stand on the opposite banks and
gaze at each other longingly.
At last came the seventh night of
the seventh month. What if it should
rain? thought the lovers. For the
river was filed and an extra drop
would sweep away the bird bridge.
But the night was fair and no rain
fell, and the birds made a broad bridge
for the "splnning-maiden to cross to
her lover. And since then on every
seventh night of the seventh month
when no rain has fallen the birds
have flown to spread their wings
across the Silver River of Heaven and
the happy lovers have met.-New York

AN ARDUoUs TASK.
The Inspector Of Windsor Castle Has
Multitudinous Duties.

Leonard Goldman, the inspector of
the palace at Windsor Castle. is a man
OF singularly equable temperament;
indeed, he could hardly be otherwise,
when the nature of his duties Is taken
into consideration. His colleague, Mr..
Taylor, at Buckingham Palace, has a
comparatively easy berth, because
Queen Victoria rarely entertains
guests in London. Mr.. Goldman, on
the other hand, has TO keep a register
of the likes and dislikes of the many
illustrious personages who are hidden
to Windsor, and extremely particular
most Of them are as to the equipment
of their apartments.
For instance, one distinguished Wis
itor requires certain pictures to be In
evidence, while another dislikes them;
one royal princess strongly objects to
the morning sun, shine it ever so
family; and a great potentate prefers
a camp bed to lie upon. These are
matters which Mr.. Goldman has con-
stantly to bear in mind. but they are
trifles compared with the anxiety i'm
posed on him by the queens visit to
the Vlce-Regal Lodge, Dublin.
1t may not be generally known that
Her Majesty must always be provided
with chairs rising a certain height
from the ground, and that dlsrep-
ancy of even half an inch either way
causes the queen the greatest dis
comfort, for she is not of lofty stature,
and once, when visiting a Scottish
duke, she was given a splendid arm
chair, which, as she herself remarked,
must have been made for the King of
Belgians or course, Her Majesty
made no complaints at the time, but
ever since then she has taken her own
chair with her. And as with chairs.
so with beds, sofas and settees. Mr..
Collman's position is no sineeure, and
the change from Bordighera to Phoe-
nix Park has not lightened his labors.

RULES FOR EXPOSITION VISITORS

In view of the recent accidents on
the exposition grounds in Paris it
wou d be well to bear several simple
rules in mind that might, if carried
out faithfully, have a tendency to
prevent serious mishaps. For instance:
Do not walk under anything. This
applies not only to ladders, but to
bridges and roofs.
Do rot step on any structure that
might fell. Keep out of galleries and
off of bridges.
Do not lean against seemingly
sold wal S. raey may be paper
mache.
Do not stray too far from the en-
trance gates. In case of panic Won
would want to be among the first out.
Do not eat anything on the grounds.
You Will stand a much better chance
OF squeezing through the crowd on an
empty stomach
Always carry life-preserver with
you so that in case of fire you can put
it on quickly and paddle yourself ont
into the river.
II you are determined to show your
by venturing into any of
the big exhibit halls, be sure to note
where the nearest exit doorway is. and
then go and stand in it.
BY observing these simple rules YOU
VIII undoubtedly be able to prolong
your life even if you don't see much.

FACTS ABOUT HAIR.

The encyclopedias regard hair fall
traordinary.
In Egypt long hair was considered
an encumbrance. 1t was a feature of
beauty among the Hebrews and
Greeks. Roman ladies used artificial
hair and set he pace for future Golf
feurs.
Short hair was the style under the
Francis I. regime, but with the court
OF Louis XIII. came long hair as a
fashion, curls, wigs, powders, peri
wigs, and perukes.
Samson's strength was attributed to
mis- long hair. and his fate is charged
up to Delllah's shears. Absalom' s
wealth of tresses was the cause of his
own death.
Marie Antoinetet wore pompadour
and rolls thrown back past her ears
Queen AnHe wore side curls.
Several years ago Miss e. J. Whit
ten, Topsham, Me-, was said to have
hair eight feet in length.
Peasant girls in the south Of France
cultivate and sell their hair as a regu-
lar business practice. Traders who at
tend the fairs purposely to traffic in
tresses frequently find hair five feet
in length, but hair six feet long is
very scarce.
A hair Is a succession of cylindrical
or elliptical horny cells. Curly or
kinky hair is due to sudden breaks in
the regularity of the cellular success

along since the opening day. OF course
all this does not mean that there is
nothing to see. On the contrary all
visitors from now ON may be sure of
getting their moneys worth. All the
side shows are in working order and
most of them are worth at least one
visit. Still, it seems rather strange
that installing work is still going on
while the exposition has been open to
visitors for nearly two months. 1t
seems possible that the fair may be
kept open for some time after Nov.
9Th, which is the date now set for
closing. OF course as there are no
means for heating the buildings 1t will
be impossible to continue the fair after
cold weather has set in.
The American commission and every
body connected Herewith has been
greatly wrought up of late over the
scandals which somebody has been
trying to stir up in regard to the spend
ing of the congressional appropriations,
The first news Of this kind appeared
some time ago but the speech of Sena-
tor Jones in congress called forth an
emphatic denial from Commissioner
General Peck. The latter gave a
statement to the papers in which he
declared that all money had been spent
carefully and economically and that
Major Bracket, the secretary and
disbursing agent of the commission.
stood ready 70 account for every cent
that has been spent thus far. Mr.. Peck
pointed out in his statement that the
United States exhibits owing to the
distance which separated them from
the exposition were obliged to undergo
several reshippings besides the voyage
across the Atlantic and thus the ex-
penses incurred we're greatly augment
ed. Besides this the United States has
found difficulty in getting sufficient
space and so has been obliged to erect
seven separate buildings to serve as
annexes to its regular exhibit spaces.
All this costs money and the statement
assures Americans that no money has
been wasted and that none will be.
Another scandal which has caused
considerable talk is that in regard to
the buying of exhibit spaces by ex-

BENEATH HIS FLAG"
No costly shaft stands Ger the head

No costly shaft stands DER the head
OF him who fought and fell;
No rose is planted DER the dead
To breathe a perfumed knell.
No words describe, in marble tongue,
His death upon the crag;
His only praise in wood is sung
HE died beneath his flag"
No costly shaft could fill the place
OF that small board of pine;
No grander words can letters trace
Than those that form the line.
He may be friend, he may be foe,
Who fell upon the crag,
1t matters not, we only know
He died beneath his flag.

hibitors. A short article appeared
some time ago in the Paris edition OF
the New York Herald which SAID that
American exhibitors had been sys-
tematically bled by being forced to pay
high sums for their exhibit spaces.
This charge has also been denied and
Mr.. Peck says that it probably original
ed from some Americans who were dis
appointed at not being able to secure
space. The number of appli nations
for space was so great that there was
not enough space to go around and
thus some were left out.
The political atmosphere has again
become little clearer after the dis
turbances resulting from the municipal
elections and the attempts to over
throw the cabinet. The nationalist Or
opposition party gained decided vic
tory in the municipal elections but not
enough to give them a majority in the
city council. Encouraged by their
partial success they made an attempt
to vote down the cabinet in connection
with a discussion on the revival of the
Dreyfus affair. Some letters have
been written which claimed that
Cernuschi, the expert who gave such
sensational testimony on the last day
of the Dreyfus trial, was fraud.
These letters are somewhat shrouded
in mystery but at any rate the opposi-
ton accused the government of know
ing of their eXistance and in this way
trying to revive the affair. Count Boni
de Castellane made a speech inter
pellating the government on these and
other subjects and in the vote which
followed the cabinet was upheld by a
comfortable majority. That is to say,
the chamber voted that it was satisfied
with the war minister's reply to the
Interpolation. Since then the minister
of war, General de Galiffet, has resign
ed owing to ill-health, and the
nationalist are now claiming a
victory. However, it appears that the
cabinet, which has now reached the
ripe old age of over year, will con-
tinue to age and ripen until the close of
the exposition. 1t is futile to predict
what will occur after that. Q. L.

He was shooting mUsk-rats, and at the
time Of the accident had the stock Of
the gun resting on his foot, when, with
out warning. it exploded and shot him
to the death. His father was with him
at the time, and all efforts on his part
to save him were fruitless The Coroner

age. He learned to be an electrician in
the employ of the Richmond Railway and
Electric Company, and at the time he Sc
cured the position of Superintendent OF

It was through the efforts of the Rail-
way and Electric Company that their
bright young employee was helped to
the responsible position with the Fred
ericksburg company. He had been mar
ried about six months when he went
away. His wife persuaded him to give
up the situation recently, and he arrans-
ed to go to work in Richmond, at slightly
reduced pay. But it was day-work he
would have here, so it was decided to
move back to Richmond. The house
hold was broken UP at Fredericksburg.
Mrs. Pearman and an infant child came
on to Richmond last Tuesday. The fur
niture was shipped here. In two weeks
the young husband would have completed
his uneXpired term with the FrederickS-

time: Papa, I am shot; and breathed
his last.

son, a father, mother, brother and sis
ter.
His wife and mother are completely
prostratsd from grief.
Mr.. Pearman was very popular and was
highly esteemed. His death is regretted
