Certainly EXpla nRtorY.

A friend of mine, Greek professor,
who runs over here for his holidays, Is
with us now. He got over-eXcited the
other day when the kilograms came
from Athens about the shindy over
some new translations of the evengeli-
cal books. Your people," l said to
him, seem to be
Fighting like devils for reconcirfa-

That launched him into a torrent of
explanations and l had such a Niagara

a chance of changing the subject. 1t

That Coronation Visit.

The gossip about Miss Alice Roose-
welt and the coronation of King Ed
ward calls to mind that President Van
Buren's son attended the coronation
of Queen Victoria" said Mr. Frank N.
Lesly. of Saratoga, n. Y. Il have been
particularly interested in the talk re-
garding Miss Roosevel.'s rank. The
rumor that she could go by the title
of princess would be worthy of con-
sideratfon had her father named her as
envoy from this country. AS it is, she
will have to be just a plain American
girl When Van Buren's son, John Van
Buren,. attended Victoria's coronation,
he was the special embassy, and was
given the title of Prince John. That,
of course, was a different situation. In
cidentally that title had great deal to
do with his fathers defeat for another
term as president. The people got the
idea into their heads that he had be-
come a plutocrat, and the idea didn't
jibe with their domestic sentiments

MUSIC OF sHAkEsPEARE's TIME.
Catch" Was Most Popular Form of
Song in the Bard's Day.

Catch" Was Most Popular Form of
Song in the Bards Day.
Of the lighter kinds of secular music
the catch was the most popular and
we find many illusions to it in Shake
speare's plays.
In the catch proper there was some
trick or catch in the words, as in that
famous one of Calcott's. where the
first voice sings, "Ah, How Sophia -
and the next catches this with the
phrase "a house a-fire," which in the
rapid pronunciation of that time would
sound much like "Ah. How Sophia"
The round. however, is often con-
founded with the CATCH unsteady
they do not differ, both the round and
the catch being varieties of the canon
in the unison" illustrated by the upper
parts of the Cuckoo Song"
When l was a boy, says Sidney Lam
Ter in Lippincotts, we used to sing
a very familiar round which began
"Scotland's burning, Scotland's burn
ing; fire, fire, fire, fire, cast on water,
cast on water" etc.
1t is interesting to find among the
rounds and catches of Shaksspeare's
time some early forms of the nursery
rhymes which appear in our Mother
Goose" For example, in act ". scene
l., of Tanning of the Shrew," where
Grumio has been sent ahead to Pc
truchio's country house to make a fire
before he and his bride arrivs. pres
emily Petruchio's other servant, CARTS
comes in and, the fire being built,
calls out to Grumio, There's fire
ready; and therefore, good Grunio
the news?"
Why" said Grumio, Jack boy! no
boy! and as much news as thou wilt"
This Jack boy, no boy, is unintelligi-
BILE until you know that these are the
first words of a popular catch in
Shakespeare's time which ran as fol.
lows:
Jack boy, no boy-news!
The cat is in the well.
Let us ring now for her knell.
Ding, ding, dong, bell!''

NAMED for the night
Where the people are interested, short
prayer meeting is held at the farmhouses
and sometimes the men are summoned
from the field to participate. II the farmer
wants his ne1ghbors to share the oppor-
tunity with him. he persuades the colpor-
ter and his wife to remain and sends
word to those who live near enough and
service is held in the nearest school
house.
The children are interested in the
strange wagon, the bright papers and
cards, the pretty Bibles and storybooks,
and the parents are attracted by the
news which the stranger brings from
the outside world, and. once their interest
is secured, the way is open, although Mr.
Mitchell never leaves to chance the an
nouncement of his errand and explains at
once why he has come. If there are no
Bibles in the home and no money to buy
one, the society that sends the colporter
provides volume.
During the winter visits are made to
the poor, Bibles are distributed and serv-
ices held in Minneapolis and St. Paul,
which offer field large enough for even
a colporter to find difficulty in trayersing.
But the principal part of the work Is on
the prairies to the west and south. when
the stout horse draws the colportage
wagon from door to door, while the chill
dren and women gather to greet the, col
porter and his wife.

Rev. George H. Thomas and DR.. F. A.
Dunsmoor.
At present not many women ride, except
where they have companionship in some
one of their family, as horseback riding is
pre- eminently a companionable amuse-
ment. One Of the most devoted and &C
complished equestriennes Of the city de-
clared this week that she had practically
given up riding in the past year, while at
home, owing to the difficulty Of finding a
companion for her rides, and her expert
ence is doubtless like that of others. A
number of younger girls riding in twos,
some of them astride, are known to near
ly everyone; among these are the Misses
Dunsmoor, the Misses Passmore and the
Misses Partridge, and they have other
companions in their set. ,ea.4 =
At present probably no couple is more
often seen ON the boulevards than C. g.
Root and his stepdaughter, Miss Colcla-
ger. Mr.. and Mrs. John Vanderlip ride
much and have unusually fine mounts

Mr. and Mrs E. G.. Walton. OF the un-
married women the Misses Heffeldnger

Merriam are seen mot infrequently. Miss
Elizabeth Quinlan, like many other Min
neapolis women, is fond of riding and in
dulges this taste when in the east, where
the opportunities are much more favor
able. --
Many Riding Habits Made.
If cine was to judge the popularity of
horseback riding from the standpoint of
the ta1lors, one would conclude that the
pastIne is one in which a great many
people INDUCED. Many women who are
the possessors of smart riding habits are
never seen on horse in Minneapolis. Their
habits are not useless, however, for these
are the travellers, the sojourners at the
shore, the mountains and the country re-
sorts, where riding Is not only pastime
and convenience, but, not infrequently
necessity. The fact that many Of the
travellers spend much time at resorts
where riding is general accounts also for
the number Of divided riding skirts made
here, although none have seen the light
here for good many years.
Adoption of Cross-saddle Riding.
At the west ern mountain resorts cross
saddle riding is the only kind tolerable,
and for that reason it isIgenerally adopted
in localities where it is not altogether a
necessity. Many of the habits ordered
here for cross saddle riding are for pat
rons living in the rougher country farther
west.
New York will not tolerate the cross
