ROBERT EnnET."
Final Rehearsal Held Last Evening"
 Everythinx Ran Smoothly.

Everybody was enthusiastic over the last stage rehearsal of the drama, Robert Emmett which was held i'll City hall last night. The finishing touches were put on the play, and if the performance on Thursday night is as good as was the rehearsal, those present will witness a good produc- tion. Those taking part are on edge now awaiting the rise of the curtain, and the people who are present on St 4 atrick's night will be more than sur prised at the result Of the weeks of hard work. While speaking of the play proper it might not be we'll to forget that the Ladies' auxiliary will play no small part in the performance. They will take part in all the choruses any many of them will be seen in peas ant costumes. There will be plenty of enjoyment for all and there could be no better way chosen to celebrate the great Irish day than by presenting this interesting and powerful drama. Tick cts are in great demand and everyone all over the city is now talking about the production. Tomorrow night will long be remembered by those who are taking part in the performance and by those who attend the entertainment

BRITISH ROYAL HOUSEHOLD.
Contains Over One Hundred Individ.
uals Who Occupy ImpOr-
tant Positions.


Those who consider themselves
learned concerning the court world
might well be surprised to know that his
Britannia majesty's household contains
over 100 individuals. headed by the
keeper of the privy purse and terminated
by his majesty's master of music in
ordinary. In comparison with this i'm
posing crowd of distinguished men,
Queen Alexandra's household appears
more than modest, for it only consists
of Is, says the London Woman at Home.
In looking down the list of names of
those who compose his majesty's house
hold one cannot help noticing how faith
full King Edward has been to those who
were about his person when he was still
prince Of Wales. and also how often
members of the same family are chosen
to occupy important posts. The king
and queen tale very kindly and real
| interest in the children of their friends,
in this following the example set them
by Queen Victoria, who during her long
reign had in more than one instance
three generations successfully in her
service. Yet another fact which may
be mentioned is King Edwards obvious
affection for the army. A large proper
| ton of those whom he has chosen to be
about his person were noted, not as car
pet knights, but as valiant and brave
soldiers long before they were connect
/ ed with the court.
By happy coincidence, the two mem
berS of the royal circle who are most
closely associated with our king and
! queen are united in the closest and most
affectionate natural bonds. Lord Knoll
| lys and Miss Charlotte Knollys are
! brother and sister, and what one has
now been to the king for SO years, that is
private secretary and the closest of con-
| fldential friends, the other has been to
the queen for an equally long period.
The Knollys family has an historic con-
nection with royalty, indeed there was a
Sir Francis Knollys. who married Queen
El:zabeth's first cousin. Kitty Cary, and
| who was with her luckless aunt, Annie
Boleyn, on the morning of her execu-
ton. AS regards the position held ~
Miss Charlotte Knollys, it would be al
most impossible to overestimate its i'm
| portance. Since this lady became bed
4
chamber woman to her beautiful royal
mistress she has never had rival in
! Queen Alexandra's heart, and her con-
slant compan:onship has become such
necessity to the queen that the two are
hardly ever parted for day.
| OF the group of distinguished men who
play so great part in the royal circle,
particular interest attaches to Lord Far
quhar. an old friend and neighbor of the
king and queen. whose appointment as
master of the household was mari ed by
some radical changes, especially at
Windsor castle. Gen. Sir Dighton
Probyn. the keeper of the privy purse,

The Japanese deities are as kindly

work went on but slowly and with dis
aster. The quicksands swallowed up
the earth and stones as fast as they
were thrown in, and, worse still, 1t
swallowed the workmen as well. Then
it was that a humble young girl, o
Sonsan (maid-servant), came forward
and offered to be buried alive in the
swamp to placate the evil spirits of
the quicksand. The sacrifice was &C,
cepted, and from that moment the
work succeeded and no more lives
were lost. And that is why to-day, On
every fifteenth OF October, the Jap
anese in Yokohama dance on the site
OF o Sonsan's grave.
Japan has never been priest-ridden,
Pence the almost marvellous ease With
which it has been able to adapt itself
to the changing necessities of the
times. There Is no fanaticism in
Japan. It's priests are teachers, most
ly peripatetic: they expound the prin-
ciples of Shinto, or the sacred book
of Shaka, but they are not custo-
dams of the Japanese conscience and
masters of his actions, as the Guru IL
Of the Hindoo. There are thousands
of Shinto shrines and temples scat
tered all over the country, by the side
of almost every road But they sym.
bolize no tenet of fanatical sacrifice or
loss Of mental liberty The religion,
like everything japanese. is one of
marked simplicity.

GLASS IS EASILY CARVED.
Diamond Is Not Needed to Sever the
Brittle Substance In
Every Case.

1t often occurs that glass tubes OF
various dimensions have to be cut where
diamond is not at hand, as in shops ard
power plants where oil and water gauge
tubes must be neatly fitted. The usual
method adopted is to file small groove
around the tube and separate the glass
with a sharp rap at the place weakened
by the file. The result Is not always sat-

because the ends often break unevenly
owing to the difficulty of mailing "a
straight groove with the file. Better re-
suits are obtained when only small
incision Is made with q file, just CROUCH
to cut through the enamel of the tube
on one side, and not all around. While
the tube is still warm from the friction
of the file the tube is then taken between
the thumbs and forefingers the thumb
opposite the file incision. but not cover
ingthe incisicn. Pressure of the thum bs
invariably causes the tube to break in as
straight and clean line as though cut
with a diamond.
Another method is to use fine saw
blade (the finer toothed the better. for
a saw is only another form of file), ard
this should be kept fed with fire emery,
carborundum, or pulverized silica sard
of hard grit, moistened with camphor
oil, turpentine or water.
A straight, steady ard even strobe
should be made, and when the work is
carefully done against a gauge the cut
will be as true as though 1t had been
ground. Nor is even toothed blade
necessary, if suitable hard and finely
gritted abrasive is used ard regularly
fed between the glass and fine wire,

Window glass, especially single
