SHE COULD NOT WAIT.

whom he was very fond. He took the
youngest of them for a walk one day.

agreement that it was not to be eaten

They started, but before they had
gone far, the little girl proposed,

there was long pleading, and all to
no purpose.
Finally, the little girl stopped knelt
down oil the pavement, and offered up
this petition, bod, please make

When every mar got drunk and was
proud Of ii in olden days, much ingenu-
ity was expended in the construction
of queer and elaborate drinking YES
sells. and many such are yet to be
found in museums. especially in Ger
many.
One preserved In a Berlin museum
represents Diana mounted on n stag
and surrounded by hounds and hunts
men. The cup consists OF the hollow
body of the silver stag, the head Of
which is removable. The piece stands
fourteen inches high. It was made at
Augsburg in 1910. II is also an auto
mobile propelled by clockwork conceal
ed in the base.
Trick cups which drenched the unlni.
tiated were very popular. Another va
riety contained wine and water in sep
nrate compartments. The drinker who
did not know how to manage them
filled his mouth with water, though the
cup was apparently full of wine.

The following, taken from Goodwin's
Weekly, concerning the situation in
South Africa, presents the matter ex
actly as we have seen it all the time.
The writer goes on to say that a great
deal of sympathy is due to the suffering
mothers, wives and sisters, not only in
South Africa. but in England as we'll,
and then concludes as follows:
But not much sympathy is due
Paul Kruger or his immediate associ
ates, because he really stood directly in
the path, an insurmountable obstacle
to progress in South Africa. To call
the government he carried on there a
Republic was a grotesque misnomer.
Dom Paul was an absolute psalm sing
ing despot, more he was willing to strike
at the very foundations Of free govern
ment by prostituting his own courts and
seeking to subdue the judges whom he
had given office to his will, regardless Of
their official oaths.
$50 soon as the war grew sore he
gathered together the immense spoils
which he had accumulated through
broken contracts and cxtortionate %levies,
and which was public property, and
sought a domicilc in Europe, all the
time insisting that his people whom he
had deserted should keep up the war.
They should have sued for peace the
day he sailed away, for it ought to have
been clear to them that he knew that
the fight was hopeless.
"As it is the result breaks the inertia
Of a century. There will be British rule
in South Africa, such as exists in the
Dominion and Australia. II will be
practically self government. only to the
Empire there will be nominal allegiance
given, the Governor General will be
English.
but every man will be free to do any
legitimate thing, the laws will be a
shield for all citizens and strangers,
slavery will be abolished; progress will
take up its march; the work will soon
commence to extend ;he railroads north

"As antiquities go nowadays says
Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's. 1.-THE
brass band is a very ancient Institution.
That is TO say. its inventor died in 1894
at the age OF eighty. There were horns
before Adolphe Sax. to be sure. but not
such horns ar we nave now. for they
could not play every tune in every key.
They could not even play a scale in any
key. The very first band entirely or
brass was organized in 1885. and l
doubt IL any of the instruments then
used could be played upon by modern
musicians without special practice. 1t
is only back to 1888 when a full regi-
mental band of the British army con-
sisted of two oboes. two clarinets, two
horns and two bassoons. 1t must have
sounded even funnier than Tennyson's
famous combination of flute. violin and
bassoon.'
"How long n way we have come
since 1873 may be learned from the
ensemble of n first class modern band.
The modern band Of forty-two pieces
has half as many oboes and bassoons
as the ancient band of eight pieces, sew
en- times as many clarinets and nine
times as many horns, to say nothing of
the saxaphones, which are part clarinet
and part horn"
