rial. All day the young oriental was
over the city, visiting buildings,

was struck by the same m%onotenous
tune YEARLY intoned by the military
bands. After a While it Jared SO
terribly on his nerv e that he asked
his interpreter to inquire what the
blessed thing was. "Ihe Chinese
national anthem" the reply Of the
somewhat surprised burgomastor Of
Brussels, MI. De Met. But we have
none" was the respons made by the
royal guest 10 the embarrassment Of
the encourage, and this tune was
certainly never heard in the land of
the ~celestials.m Murder will out, "
and it seems that a WHY European
some years ago cofnposed a sort Of
tumtum, with an accompaniment,
and called it the " Chinese National
Anthem" and sold the right to per-
form the same on all occasions when
any Chinese dignitaries we're being
entel ,a.ned. He has already made
a nice little sun out Of it. This in
cident has caused much chagrin at
the Hotel de Vile in Brussels, but
more amusement among the general
public, who are enjoying a laugh at

a clock on the wall of a building told
