Odd Things Preserved at Greenwich,

Nelson relics last year had taken his

A Relic of Rossini.
Corr. London Telegraph

Paris Corr. London Telegraph.
A strange relic has Just been given to
the opera, where 1t is now shown In the
library This is pair of braces which be-
longed to Rossini, but which, for good rea-
sons, he never wore. An enthusiastic young
person of eighteen. after hearing William
Tell" fell instantly in love with the COM
poser, whom she had never seen. Her only
way of expressing her devotion. to him was
to embroider some articles of apparel for
hin with her own fair hands. so she made
hila a pair of rose pink silk braces, deco
rated with clusters of flowers, and with his
and her initials entwined. She sent then,
to Rossini, who. on receiving them. con-
cluded that she must have imagined him
to be a slim young man. Anyway 1t was
quite out of the question for him to try
and button them on. But he kept them as
a memento of his admirers devotion. He
never saw her, and she never knew that he
could not possibly wear her present.

First Locomotive Steam Whistle.
From die LouisvIlIe CONGRESSIONAL.

from the Louisville Courier Journal
Locomotives seventy-five years ago had
no whistles The engineer kept by ais
side tin horn, which he blew before
curves and dangerous crossings. But the
noise was feeble.
In 1888 an English farmers cart was
run down on the way to market and LOCO
eggs, 100 pounds OF butter, two horses and
man were bumped in one great omeIer
ON the rails. The railway had to pay the
damages. The president sent for George
Stevenson and said angrily.
"Our engineers can't blow their horns
loud enough to clear the tracks ahead.
You have made your steam do SO much.
why don't you make it blow a good loud
horn for us?''
Stevenson pondered. An idea came to
him. He visited a musical instrument
maker and had constructed horn that
gave a horrible screech when blown by
steam. From this horn the locomotives
whistle of today descended.

One of Four Busts of Middle Ages.


The David of Audrea del Verrocchio is a
pleasing statue in Florence Only the head
is reproduced as one of the four busts from
the middle ages which form a part of col
lection No. /.
David has been favorite theme for
painters, poets and sculptors He probably
appeals to the ambition latent in all men
who see in themselves, in those they love,
the power to rise from obscurity into great
ness. David is in way democratic hero.
From the position of simple shepherd to
that of king of a powerful people is an act
of prowess, or luck, which stimulates the
agination. And his deeds make him the
boys chosen leader. The killing of Goliath
has perhaps endeared him to many boys,
who have not understood the struggles of
King Davids conscience. The great statue
of David by Michael Angelo is one of that
artists masterpieces, and the charming
statuette of David by Mercie shows that
modern times can still aspire to produce a
figure of the boy savior of his nation.
Andrea Verrocchio. the sculptor of The
Stars David. lived in 1858. He was a
pupil of Donatellos and further perfected
the masters style by conscientious study
of nature. He exercised a powerful influ-
ence upon his contemporaries and was him
self teacher of Da Vinci. Among his
greatest works is the equestrian statue of
Gen. Bartolommeo Calleoni at Venice. This
monument is full of energetic character and
bold life and is considered one of the great

initiated frequently, and local sculptors

The historical facts concerning marriage
as an institution are probably only vaguely
known to the majority of people, most of
whom would doubtless be surprised to learn
that the institution as we know it today
Is less than 500 years old. Histories of the
marriage ceremony show that It was not
soiemnized in church as religious rite
until the time OF Pope Innocent III, Al. ID.
