The French Cavalry at Sedan.

Both banks of the Givonne were in

village nearer to Sedan than Bazeilles,
and soon after l O'clock no fewer than
426 German guns were hailing shells
into the French army, which stood in
close formations within space meas
uring less than two miles in breadth or
depth. Out Of this terrible cauldron of
defeated troops about this time rode
the French cavalry in heroic endeav-
or to turn the fortunes of the day and
retrieve the honor of France.

Actors Who stutter.

1t would seem that the stage is not
only the last profession that would be
chosen by person afflicted by stutter-
ing, but that sufferer would never
dream Of selecting that profession
Yet 1t is fact that some well known
actors and singers labor under this dis
advantage.
The strangest thing about it is that
the sad impeachment which is so pain
fully evident in private life seems to
vanish entirely when they are on the
boards.
1t is curious that appearance on the

WONDERS MATCHMAKING
Queer Ttmepieces Owned by Two of
Enwlanll,s Queens

Queer Tfmepieces Owned by Two of
EngIand's Queens.
Among the treasures of Swiss mu-
scum, inserted in the top of an old fash
Toned pencil case, is the tiniest watch
ever constructed. 1t is only three-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter, and it's
little dial not only indicates hours, min
utes and seconds, but also the days Of
the month. So perfectly formed is this
lilliputiaE watch that it keeps excel
lent time and Is marvellous piece Of
mechanical workmanship.
Two Of the most elaborate and curl
GUS watches which the world has ever
seen belonged to Queen Elizabeth and
her unfortunate contemporary, Mary,
queen of Scots. Good Queen Bess had
a watch made for her in the form Of a
duck, with beautifully chased feathers,
the lower part Of which opened. The
face was Of silver, with an elaborate
gilt design. and the whole was kept in
case of brass, covered with black
leather thickly studded with big silver
knobs.
The i'll fatcd Mary was the possessor
Of watch in the form of a skull The
dial was introduced where the palate
should have been, and the works occu-
pied the place of brains in the crani-
UNI. In the hollow of the skull, more
over, was a bell which had works of its
own and by means of which hammer
struck out the hours upon it.
One of the choicest rarities of the
Bernal collection was book shaped
watch. This curious time indicator was
made by order Of Bogislaus XIV, Duke
of Pomerania, in the time of Gustavus
Adolphus On the face of the book,
where the dial Of the watch is set,
there is an engraved inscription of the
duke and his titles and armorial bear
ings, together with the date, 1927. On
the back the engravings are also very
finely and skillfully executed, among
them being the portraits Of two gentle
men Of the seventeenth century. The
dial plate is Of silver, chased in relief,
while the insides are beautifully chased
with figures of birds and foliage. The
watch has two separate movements and
large sweet toned bell. At the back,
over this bell, the metal is ornamental
ly pierced in a circle, with dragon and
other devices, while the sides are pierre
ed and engraved with complicated
design of beautiful scroll work.-Lon-

ve.tal Virgins.

Ovid tells us that the first temple Of
Vesta at Rome was constructed Of wat
tied walls and rooted with thatch, like
the primitive huts of the inhabitants.
1t was little other than q circular COW
cred fireplace and was tended by the
unmarried girls of the infant commu-
nifty. 1t served as the public hearth
of Rome, and on 1t glowed, unextin-
guished throughout the year, the sa-
cred fire which was supposed to have
been brought from Troy and the con-
tinuance Of which was thought to be
linked with the fortunes of the city.
The name Vesta is believed to be de-
rived from the same root as the San
Skirt was, which means ito dwell, to
inhabit," and shows that she was the
goddess of home, and home had the
hearth as its focus. A town. a state,
is but large family, and what the do
nestle hearth was to the house that
the temple Of the perpetual fire, be-
came to the city. Every town had its
vesta, or common hearth, and the col
onies derived their fire from the moth
er hearth.
Should a vestal maiden allow the sa-
cred fire to become extinguished she
was beaten by the grand pontiff till
her blood flowed, and the new fire was
solemnly rekindled by rubbing togeth-
er of dry wood or by focusing of suns
rays. The circular form and domed
roof of the temple of vesta were sur
viv2ls of the prehistoric huts of the
aborigines, which were Invariably
round.-Cornhill Magazine.

A Mother Gone.

Mrs. A. Bergreen, wife of Postmas-
ter A. Bergreen, OF Elkhorn, passed
away last Friday, and Monday was
laid to rest in the cemetery in her
home town.
For more than year she has been
helpless and her faithful husband has
lovingly cared for her and done all in
his power to save her and make her
comfortable. He sent her to Coltax
last winter and for short time hope
raised for she improved but then set
tied back to her old helpless state.
She leaves as memory here on earth
grief stricken husband and four
children who will never again pillow
their tired throbbing heads upon a
loving mothers breast pulsing with
life and strength; never hear again the
lullaby that has SO oft soothed them
to dreamland slumber, nor feel once
more the loving hands in fond en-
brace around their sob-shaking forms
over some childish grievance. Her
husband looks about him and sees the
evidence of her thoughtfulness when
she was able to he around; their early
welded life passes before him like
dream and he shoulders and grows
sick, at heart. She has gone but in
memory, the living fountain, there
ever cSmes up the sacred form now in
the cold clasp of mother earth, while
above it the darkened mound lies sig
nificant of the lives Of those she loved
but left.

Victoria Got Her Primroses,

'The following little anecdote, told
by Queen Victoria herself, will show
her independence of character" says a
writer in The Century. Every fond of
primroses and finding none in the
royal gardens, she sent word to have
some planted. The gardeners, the
queen said, made many objections, and.
finding shortly afterward that her
wishes had not yet been carried out,
she dispatched a messenger inquiring
the reason. 4 suppose Queen Anne
had none she said, so they did not
think it proper for me to have any,
but sent them word promptly that
Queen Victoria would have some-and
she did,"

DR.. BYLEs STOOD GUARD.
1t Was a Thanksgiving Day, and the
Cause Was Urgent.

1t Was Thanksgiving Day, and the
Cause Was Urgent.
One Of the most famous Of the old
Puritan diyineS was DR.. Mather Byles,
who was born in Boston In 17O6 and
who was the first pastor Of the Hollis
Street Congregational church, to which
he ministered for more than 40 years.
DR.. Byles was famous as humorist
and wit, and innumerable anecdotes
are related of his clever quips and re-
forts. He was a Jealous Tory and
warmly advocated the cause of "the
mother country" against the colonies.
In November, 1777, he was arrested as
Tory, tried, convicted and sentenced
to be confined on board a guard ship
and sent to England with his family
within 40 days. The sentence was aft
erward committed by the board Of war
to confinement in his own house,
guard being placed over him with in
structions not to permit him to leave
his residence for moment under any
circumstances.
On Thanksgiving morning, observing
that the sentinel, who, like many of the
colonial soldiers, was simple rustic,
had disappeared and that DR.. Byles
himself was pacing up and down be-
fore his own door with musket on his
shoulder, the neighbors crossed the
street to inquire the cause of this sin
gular spectacle.
"You see" said DR.. Byles, 81 begged
my guard to let me go out to procure
some cider with which myself and
family might celebrate Thanksgiving
day, but he would not permit me to
stir. l argued the point with him, and
he has now gone to get the cider for me
on condition that l keep guard over
myself during his absence"
