GuigIfni.

Guiglini, the great tenor, was once
playing Polio to Nine. Titien's Norma.
In one scene the Druid priestess sum-
mons an assembly together by the
sound of a gong to decide on the pun
ishment to be inflicted on a guilty per-
son unnamed. Titien struck the gong
with such force that in throwing back
the drumstlck she caught Guiglini on
the nose and made 1t bleed. The singer
was furious. He swore that he would
never play in Norma" again and in
sisted that the offending drumstick
should be solemnly locked up. The
opera was so popular that 1t was neces-
sary to give it sometimes, but the tenor
would not hear of appearing in 1t.
Consequently Signor Corsi was an
nounced TO sing in his place. The house
was very full, and the opera went
splendldly until the time came for Pol
to's entrance No Polio appeared.
The disturbed manager few to Gui-
glini's dressing room and found him
hastily putting on Corsl's dress in a
great hurry to come in for the APP
plause he heard coming from the front.
The audience was so delighted when
he came on at last that It willingly for
gave the delay. Titien struck the gong
with her hand instead Of the drum
stick, and the opera ended magnif-

Strange statistics" said an insur-

II have found that the more times q

"Old X. aged seventy, with q third

The Ancient spontoon.

\ spontoon, a weapon similar to the
halbert, was borne instead of half
pike by officers of British infantry till
the year 1856. Pointed backward or
forward, 1t gave the signal for advance
or retreat, and planted upright in the
ground il commanded halt. Speci-
mems can be seen in the Tower armory.
In the Morning Chronicle of April 15,
1856, there is reference to its dis
continuance: Yesterday the officers
who mounted guard for St James, the
Queens House and Tilt yard were
paraded with their swords drawn In
stead of the spontoon for the first time
since the alteration took place, and we
hear that the amendment Qf it may be
so called is to take place among all
the regiments belonging to his majes-
ty."
In an old play Major Sturgeon says:
'Oh, could you but see me salute! You
have never spontoon In the houseT
NO" answers Sir Jacob, "but we
could get you shove pike"

In the year 1884 great commercial
distress was experienced throughout
France, and N. Worth, the famous
fashion originator and dressmaker, was
called before Il parliamentary COM
mittee instituted to inquire into the
causes and asked for his theory and
his remedy. The salaries of the presi-
dent of the republic and the ministers,
said the great man milliner, ought to
be considerably raised because balls
cost much more than dinners, and Of
fetal people ought to be paid salaries
handsome enough TO enable them to
give a great many balls. NJ. Grevy,
said Worth in disgust, only gave two
balls year, and the crush was so
great that ladies elected to wear their
old dresses rather than buy new ones,
which would most assuredly be spoiled
in the crowd. Pay higher salaries, give
more balls and ask fewer guests to
each function--this was Worth's rem
edy. The ladies, relieved of the fear Of
a crush, would invest in new dDesses,
money would circulate, trade would
revive and all would go as merrily as
marriage bells.

The Great MoEul.

The greatest of the Mogul emperors
Of India was Akbar, born Oct. II, 1542.
He began to reign when he was but
twelve years old and over three prov
inces ouly, but he extended his empire
over nearly the whole of India. His
wisdom and justice earned for him the
1He Guardian of Mankind" His court
at Agra was magnificent. Akbar's real
name was Jelal-ed-Dean but when he
reached the height OF his power he be-
came known by the shorter name, which
means very great or greatest, and In
English he was called the great mogul.
He is said to have kept 5000 elephants,
1900 choice horses and 1,0O0 hunting
leopards. Akbar died in 1905, was
buried In n magnificent mausoleum
near Agra and was succeeded by his

and look steadily forward. and raise
or lower the bow. in the proper direc-
ton. The targets are fixed opposite
each other at about sixty yards apart.
The arrows are shot first TO one tar

tract the arrows, and the marker
scores for each before drawing from
the target. after which the archers
shoot back again to the other end, and
SO on until the whole number of ends
have been shot Butts are also used to
shoot at, being built of long mounds
of turf about eight feet long and five
wide, height of seven feet, the depth
diminishing gradually from the bot
tom TO the top.
When more than two are used, they
are ranged ia sets. each set consist
ing Of four, about thirty yards apart,
and forming a chain OF lengths of
80, 90, 80 and 100 yards, but so dis
posed as not TO stand in the way of the
archers when shooting at any of the
lengths.
Where archers rove from place TO
place and have no fixed target, it is
called ''rovings." The archers shoot
at trees or any other object that they
choose. The winner of the first
shot chooses the next, and so on,

yards, and all arrows falling with

THE SACRED 30 TREE.
One OF the Most wonderful Natural
Grovtbs Ever Known.

In October, 1887, the sacred bo tree,
at that time supposed to be the Oldest
living vegetable monument on the
earth's surface, was uprooted and de-
stroyed by n cyclone which swept over
the island of Ceylon. Tho oldest writ
ten description Of the sacred DO tree
now In existence Is that by the cele-
brated Chinese historian, Fa Han,
who visited the island and the sacred
tree IN the year 414 A. ID. According
to this learned Chnaman, the tree was
at that time 702 years old, having
been planted in the year 2SS before
our era by King DcyiDipiatissa.
AS soon as Il was known through
out the Island that the tree had been
destroyed by the fury of the elements
great crowds OF mourners gathered
around It's sacred remains and held
regular funeral services for two or
three weeks After the season OF
mourning was over the tree was cut
into proper lengths, each piecc
wrapped separately In white cloth and
cremated with the same funeral rites
which would have been given n mem
Der OF the royal family.
SO perished the sacred DO tree, one
OF the most wonderful natural growths
known to the world--a tree which had
been worsEipcd daily. one might al-
most say hourly, for 2,17o years.
