THE MODERN CoURTIER

The duties of an "equerry-in-waiting." put as
cOneisely possible. are: To make his royal
masters life as smooth and easy as possible; to
be disereetly sympathetic with him In SORROW
and in 10y: to save him. far as II is humanJ
possible. from the trouble Of thinking for him
self; to know and have committed TO memory
the characteristics and family history OF all per-
sons who worth the notice or friendship or
the royal patron; 20 have ready at finger tips the
truth Of all scandals and gossip In the elect cir
Gle in which he moves; and to be, in a quiet and
gentlemanly manner, surprised at nothing
1t has been said that an eQuerry must not
look bored. yet casual scrutiny Of the faces OK
those who have been long in Office betrays the
fact that nature. after ALL asserts her power
over aTtifciality, however hard the striving may
be 70 circumvent her. One Of the most surprising
facts regarding royal persons is that apparently
they never tire of the one particular set who
surround them at home, and whom they ask to
meet them abroad. Royalties choose whom they
Will receive and whom they viii meet Posi-
bly, their attendants are Of a more unstable
mind. and weary OF the same old faces which
they once knew young. Hence the jaded. weary

THE HIGHER CRITICISM.

The critics insist that the Bible must be
treated like any other book, and to this plausl-
BILE sophistry their success is largely due Were

persons in the dock would be deemed an outrage

which illustrates this is-only an irish story!
II is worth telling, however, for its own sake
The evidence against the prisoner broke down
so obviously that the judge without word OF
comment told the rustic jury 10 give their YER

vILted him; and in answer TO the judges in

In view OF the history Of the sacred books,

THE ANGLo-FRENCH TREATY.

An Anglo-French treaty OF arbitration IS en-
titled 20 its place in history one Of the three
greatest events in the development Of internal
tiOnal arbitration
The first was In the Alabama case In 10 two
great countries submitted a question which In
vOved the national honor Of at any rate. one of
them, 10 the adjudication Of 4 court mainly COM
posed Of foreigners. This was the first time that
attempt was made 20 apply the methods OF
domestic judicature to international cases The
next great event was the creation of n perma-
nCnt court Of judiCature on the same model at
The Hague. and the third is this new obligation
entered into by Great Britain and France. and
which has been rapidly followed by others. to
submit all their differences OF a judicial order
(the only cases. following domestic analOgies.
within the Jurisdiction OF court OF laW) TO this
court at The Hague.
These three events stand out as landmarks OF
progress toward that ideal OF peaCeable adjust
ment OF differences. I'm the dealings Of nations
with each other. which has been the dream OF
every enlightened man who ever thought on the
subject The other varieties and Incidents OF
arbitration are secondary to these three, which
alone are in direct line OF descent one from the
Other.-(Sir Thomas Barclay. in The FOrtnightIy

THE WREN BUSH.

Among the many odd customs still observed IN
Ireland at Christmas few are more curious than
the practice of carrying about "the wren bush"
on St stephens Day. and antlquaries puZ-
zled TO explain why the poor little king of all
birds" should be put to death on the festival OF
the first martyr.
The most probable explanation Is that the
wren was sacred 70 the Druids. and was used by
them in divinatiOn and other pagan rites at the
festival of the winter sOlstice. which almost CO.
inclded with Christmas. and consequently the
clergy urged their converts TO destroy the birds
which were associated with such unhOly rites
just as St Patrick'S relentless dstruCtiOn of the
images OF serpentS. used in the ancient pagan
worship OF Ireland. gave rise TO the legend that
