How Strauss Once snubbed . Hus-

How Strauss Once snubbed q Rus
sian, Court Dignitary. So 7
When Johann Strauss took his Or
chestra to Russia, he had some unusu-
al experiences not generally youchsaf-
ed to those who live outside an auto
cratic government.
One day he received the czarina's
commands to play before her at her
summer resort and was told, on arriv-
ing there, that he would have to re-
hearse his programme three times be-
fore the performance. He begged to
know the reason for that, but no ex-
planation was given him. These were
her majesty's orders, and he could only
comply. Still. his astonishment grew
when he saw during the three rehear-
sails an empty court carriage drawn by
a pair Of horses slowly going back and
forth in front Of his orchestra.
Throughout the final performance
the mysterious act was explained. The
empress, having sharp attack of gout,
was obliged to recline In the carriage,
her foot on a cushion, while the con-
cert took place. and the object Of re-
hearsal had been to accustom the
horses to a full string band lest they
should take fright and bolt with her.
At the end Of the performance an ex-
alted dignitary Of the court bade
Strauss follow him to splendid grand
piano, saying:
"Now be good enough to play me all
the newest Vienna music"
Although he was pretty fatigued by
his three rehearsals and state perform
ance, Strauss thought 1t expedient to
comply, but after he had played con-
tinuously for over an hour he stopped,
saying, II presume that will be sufi-
cient"
II am not at all tired" coolly rejoin-
ed his excellency.
"But l amw said Strauss and rose
from the instrument. - Youths Com

A Christmas Pie.

A customary feature Of a Christmas
dinner in old England was an immense
pie of some kind. 1t was usually COM
posed Of fish and flesh and fowl. We
are told that In the reign Of Henry
III. the sheriff of Gloucester was once
ordered by that monarch to procure
twenty salmon, ten peacocks and ten
prawns for Christmas pies.
