TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL Is, 1905.
THE Duke and the Barber.

In olden DAYS an English noble enter
ed a barber shop, and. upon inquiring
for the master, was answered by an
anprentice of fourteen that he was not
at home. do you shave. them asked
the duke. Yes. sir, | always do" was
the reply. But can you shave without
c%uttine?' Eyes, sir; I'll try" answer
ed the youth. Very w'll," said the
duke. while seating himself and load
ing his pistol. But. look here. If you
let any blood, as true as sit here III
blow your brains out. Now, consider
well before you begin"
After a moments reflection the boy
began to make ready and said, I'm not
afraid OF cutting you. SIR and IN a
short time had completed the feat with
ont a scratch, to the complete salts
faction of the duke. In gentle tones
his grace asked. Were you not afraid
of having your brains blown out when
YOU might have cut me so easilyF
NO. sir; not at all, because thought
that as 1901 as | should happen to let
any blood | would cut your throat be-
fore YOU could have time to fire"
The reply won from the duke a hand
some reward. 1t need scarcely be add
ed he never resumed his dangerous
threats In a barber shop. A lesson was
taught him for life.

aeek,s Narrow Escape.

David Beck, the celebrated portrait
painter and pupil of Vandyke. while
travelling through Germany was sud
denly taken Ill and to all appearances
died and was laid out a corpse. His
servants, sitting round the bed, grieved
heartily for the loss OF so good a mas
ter, and as grief is thirsty drank as
heartily at the same time. One Of them,
becoming more befuddled than the rest,
then addressed his companions thus
"Our master when alive was fond OF
his glass. Let us out Of gratitude,
then, give him n now he Is dead"
Assent was given; the head Of the dead
painter was raised up and some wine
poured down or spilled about, the ira
GRANGE or spirit Of which caused Beck
to open his eyes. upon which the sery'
ant, who, being drunk, half forgetting
his master was dead, forced down the
remainder of the glass. The painter
gradually revived and thus escaped q
living interment.

The Horn Dance.

Among the quaint old customs and
ceremonies still kept alive In English
country districts there is only one horn
dance" and that is to be found at Alb
bots Bromley, in Staffordshlre. Every
year at the village wake the dance Is
still carried out. The origin of the
horn dance is lost In the mlsts OF
history, but 1t has been traced back as
far as the eleventh century. Until the
seventeenth century 1t was practiced at
Christmas, on New Years day and on
Twelfth day. In the time Of Henry
VIII. the. dance was performed in front
Of the church every Sunday and a col
lection for the poor taken up from the
spectators.

The Russian Naval Standard.

The Russian naval standard-a blue
flag with a white cross-was adopted
by Peter the Great, who stayed for
some months at Gaardam, near Am
sterdam, working as a mechanic TO
gain a knowledge Of shipbuilding.
During this time he took a strong
fancy to a clever workman named
Cruys. whom he persuaded to return
with him to Russia after he had reveal
ed to him his true name and position.
Cruys drew the plans for the first
ships built for the Russian navy, and,
to show his appreciation, Peter the
Great made him an admiral and gave
orders that the Russian navy should
~thenceforth have a special flag with
a white cross upon 1t to perpetuate the
memory of his trusted associate, Cruys
being an old form of the Dutch word
for cross.
