HYMNS OF A HIGH NuMsER.
Curious Rule Prevails In the English
Church At Monte Carlo.

N"tfsW - MoVNe (aFtos
A curious fact anent the service
held In the English church at Monte
Carlo is that no hymn under thirty.
seven Is ever sung there. The reason
for this may not be generally known.
Il Is as follows;

certain English peer, once went to
the rooms on Sunday. Immediately
after the morning service, and put
the maximum on thirty.two, the mum.

and tho inspiration" was widely
talked about, as such things are in the
frivolous society Of the principally.
The next Sunday the little church
was crowded and the last hymn being
a low number. an unseemly rush to
the rooms took place directly II was
announced. Curiously enough, the
number again turned up and the bank
was badly hit.
On the following Sunday the church
would not hold all the "worshipers."
but their intent was frustrated, as
all the hymns were ''off the board"
and have been so ever since.

The trade Of tooth.stainer followed

tooth.stainer. with a little box Of
brushes and coloring matter, calls on
his customers and stains their teeth
The process Is not unlike that Of
blacking a boot, for a fine polish is
given TO the teeth. The pigment used
is quite harmless. In Arabia the
trade OF "gossiper" has many follow.
