what a Bureau Really Is.

When parchment was used for writ
ing and when bookbinding was in its
infancy and n bound book was a costly
luxury, II was the custom to place the
book on piece of cloth or a strip Of
wool In order to prevent the binding
from possible damage on the rough
wood Of the table. Those who had to
deal with money also had strip of
cloth on the table or counter so that
the coins should not roll. This strip
was called bureau"
In course of time the custom chang
ed, AID the same word was applied TO
the writing table covered with green
or other colored cloth and at length de-
scended to the modern table with the
center protected by leather. AS an Of
flee contains one or more Of these Ia

that the name should, in one country,

How Strauss once snubhcd n RUS
sian Court Dienitary.

When Johann Strauss took his or
chcstra to Russia. he had some unusu-
al experiences not generally vouchsaf-
ed 70 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 10 re-
hearse his progra NINE three times be-
fore the performance. He begged TO
know the reason for that. but no ex-
PLANTATION was given him. These were
her majesty's orders, and he could only
comply. Still. his establishment grew
when he saw during the three rehear-
sails an empty court carriage drawn by
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 a sharp attack OF govt.
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 full string band lest they
should take fright and bolt with her.
AT the end Of the performance an ex-
allied dignitary OF the court babe
Strauss follow him 10 a 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 II expedient to
comply, but after he had played con-
tinuously for over an hour he stopped,
saying, II presume that will be suffi-
cient?"
81 am not at all tired" coolly rejoin-
ed his excellency.
"But / amv' said Strauss and rose
from the instrument. - Youths Com

The young bird went his way and In

that he had tried to catch he fish
without pole and had fallen into the
water.

father. II knew you would spoil the
child IL you spared the rod"
