ROYAL COMPOSERS MANY.
Kings and Queens Who Write Songs,
Marches and Anthems in
Real Life.

In nOarthaye royalties dabbled
so much as in music. Only a few
days ago the khedive of Egypt
had a waltz of his own compost
ton played at the court ball, and
eyerybodydeclared that it was the
best waltz they had ever heard.
Among p~esent-day royal mu
sicians Princess Henry of Batten-
berg is well known. A sprightly
march written by her was a good
deal played by the L. c. G. bands
in the Embankment gardens Il
season or two back, and last year.
too, q song by her was sung by
Nine. Ella Russell.
The kaiser, of course, has pro.
duCed several musical works. His
part songs recently written for
Berlin choral societies embodied
his theories for a return to a sim
pie style of music.
The ear Of Russia wrote a
Christmas anthem a year or two
back, and Grand Duke Constan
tine has also produced a few
works. Not long ago, when Wee
sey, the prodigy yiolinist, visited
Sc. Petersburg, he played one Of
the dukes pieces for violin anC

poser himself playing the accom-
paniment.

1T REVEALS NEW WORLDS.
Most Recent Scientific Discovery Is
the "Ultra-M icroscope"-Great
Aid to Science.

One of the most recent scien-
tifo triumphs is the "ultra.micrO-
scope"
Two continental experiment.
ers are credited with the inven-
ton, which consists in the appli-
cation to the microscope of highly
concentrated artificial light by
the aid of powerful lenses and
prisms. The result is so greatly
to increase the magnifying power
that millions of particles hither-
to beyond the range of the micro
scope are rendered visible. The
ultra microscope, too, has re-
vealed, among other things, new
and strange living creatures NOV
ing about in a drop of human
blood.
BY the old form of microscope
only inactive microscopic matter
could be photographed. Any ac
tiVity, unless very slow, was lost
altogether. Even the very slow
movements caused blurrings.
Under the new miscroscope bac
terra of all sizes stand clearly re
vealed, their slightest movement
being plainly visible. The effect
of course, will be to render i'm
mense assistance to science in ex
plOring the wonder world of mi
crOscOpic things.

JUNE TIE MARRIAGE MONTH
New York, Though, Almost an Ex-
cepton to a Worldwide Rule
as to Weddings.

June is the favorite month for
marriages the world over. In
Scotland, for instance, 175 Of 1000
marriages take place in June, and
In Sweden the proportion is $50.
In New York city the number of
marriages in a year is 10000 and
the distribution by months is so
even that the lead Of June is very
small. Last year June ,723
marriages, but there were 3, 7O9 in
December, a fayOrite month for
marriages, and 1904 in November.
The month in which there are
the fewest in New York city is
March. May and August are two
,ther months in which the num-
ler of marriages is small,
Though in most European coun-
RES June is the favorite month,
there are some exceptions. Thus,
in Holland, May is the fayorite
month for marriages, and in Italy
February, which includes the
period preceding the beginning of
Lent.
In Germany, April, regarded as
the first of the spring months, is
the favOrite one for marriages,
and in Greece October is the
favorits. In Russia, January is
the favOrite marriage month.
1t is in consequence of these
Old World preferences, no doubt,
that the somewhat curious result
is shown here; June is the favorite
marriage month for those born
here, whether of American or for
eign parentage, but it is not for
those foreign born.
Last year, accordingto thebOard
Of health figures, there were more
marriages in December than in
June of foreign born couples, and
more 10 January, too.

FOND OF sUNFLoWER SEED
Enormous Amount Consumed in
Cars Country Strikes Visit
ing French Physician.

A French physician, DR., Mar
cou, says Leslie's Weekly, states
that one of the first things which
struck him on his arrival in Rus
STA was the enormous quantity of
sunhOwer seeds consumed in that
country. The seeds, which are
O%leaginOus and have an agree
able taste, are constantly chewed
by the people. The outer husk is
detached with the teeth and spat
out. These husks are seen scat
tered about on payements and
garden walks, in railway car
riages, tramway cars and cabs,
and on the floors of restaurants
and private rooms. On DAYS of
public festivity the ground every
where is covered with them as
thickly as the streets of Paris are
strewn with confetti during the
carnival. At every street corner
a brisk trade is done with the
seeds by old women. A striking
proof of this passion-for it is
nothing less ~ of the Russian
peasant is the fact that the car.
ina could think of nothing that
would be more welcome to the sol
diers in Manchuria, and she is said
to have spent $3.50 in satisfying
their craving for sunflower seeds.
AS the seeds are very cheap, that
sum represents an enormous con
signment.

The appointment of Alfred II. Lang
as commissioner under the Sturgis bill
Is particularly satisfactory to all Somer'
set people regardless of party Affiliations,
who are in favor of the enforcement of
the prohibitory law. Governor Cobb
could not have done better and by the
appointment shows his sincerity in
desiring to see the law enforced and his
good judgment OF the high character OF
the man. Not only is Mr.. Lang IN favor
of enforcement of the prohihitory law
but he thoroughly believes in the prln-
ciple of prohibition az the best and only
remedy for the evil of the sale OF intoxl-
eating liquors. Mr.. Lang thinks Tor
himself, acts with deliberation and ten
acity of purpose, and lie a man of strict
integrity, and superior courage. HIS
experience as Sheriff of Somerset county
will be OF value to the commission OF
which he is a member and add to its
efficiency.
