tender TO the throne of Spain, visited
Barcelona lately without being recOg-
nized by the police. Upon one occa-
sion he was obliged to enter a police
station. an adventure recited by him
self to a correspondent of a Spanish
paper at Paris:
Upon my arrival at Barcelona, and
so as to escape being seen, went to
a modest hotel, where I took the best
room and only paid a shilling a day.
At night 1 went out alone, without re-
membering the name of the street, and
when 1 wished to return home l did
not know where to 60 to. asked a
policeman outside the police station If
he knew the hotel, and he told me he
didn't. So went quietly into the sta
tion. to the office of the civil governor,
and asked to be informed where the
hotel in question was situated. l was
not recognized, and thus l escaped be-
ing politely asked to leave Spanish

The report that Switzerland has de-
cided to change her national anthem
owing to the identity of its melodsV~lth
that of the national anthems Of Prussia
and of Great Britain, writes the Paris
correspondent Of the London Globe re-
minds me that, although the words OF
the French national anthem, La MAT
seillaise." are by ROuget de llsle' very
few people are aware that the melou5
is German and that, as shown by the
late Castil Blaze, the most eminent
critic of the nineteenth century, the ar
was borrowed by Rouget de ilsle Iroih
n collection of German religious metz
dies. The Austrian national hymn was
composed toward the latter END oil lie
eighteenth century by Francis Joseph
HAYDN. though whether on ms own
initiatlye or by imperial order Is NOT
ouite certain. These national antlehiS'
contrary TO general belief, are rela-
+i,,e1v modern institution, for until the
o,gbteenth century no country possess
ed national anthem Of any KIND one
of the first nations to adopt a natloilal
anthem was Great Britain, and consld'
o,.obIa Mains were taken to emphasize
tho fact that it was King George l.
and not the Jacobite pretender who was
meant. A preposterous attempt mas
boan made 10 prove that the melody OF

and was adopted almost Immediately

At the tire of tbs Crimean war decided
n cast aside a national anthem Dor

and TO substitute for it a genuine ma

The nresent national anthem Of Russia
Is nrobablv the only one that was ever
adonted as a result of an open compe-
tition-like the legendary tournaments
Of the bards of the court of Thurlngla'
Of the master singers Of Nuremberg

The musical committee Of selection re-
tected all the anthems sent in but t'Vo'
the respective merits Of which were
left for the emperor to determine. One
was by Glinka, the renowned composer
Of 'Life For the Gar" The other was
bv Lyoff. Glinka's hymn was thor
oughly Russian in character and IN the
form of a march. LyOff's was more
solemn. but less original. He knew,
however. that a high military style OF
Instrumentation would appeal to the
imDerial ear. and his drums and trump
cts decided Nicholas against all claims
to recognition on the part Of the more
artistic Glinka. Nicholas, however,
cannot be said to have made bad
choice. Both works were good, and II
he preferred the more demonstrative OF
the two it was probably because ne
knew so well the tastes of his people.

Mind Woman Sorts co1ors.

Mrs. S. NJ. Kirk of Forest Valley
Okla, who has been blind for many
years. has acquired a sense of feeling
that is remarkable. She prepares the
meals for the family, with little as
sistance, and in pairing potatoes can
pick out the imperfections with as
much skill as if she could see. She
makes all the dresses for her two little
girls and can put all the different
pieces together without getting one Of
them wrong. One of the most remark
able things is in sewing carpet rags.
She can pick out all those Of the same
color and tack them together without
miss, and in threading a needle she
does It as well and quickly as If her
eyesight were perfect. Mrs. Kirk has
never spent a day in school for the
blind. but has learned to do all things
IN her oSv5, home and altogether by az
plication.- st Louis Republic.

An italian Insult.

Paris Figaro notes that insulting ex-
lose their edge with use and
new ones have constantly to be found.
The parliaments of some nations where
disorderly scenes abound should be
fertile source of new expressions of
contempt. Figaro instances as the lat
est example of a successful achiever of
this duty a deputy in the Italian par
lament who, addressing himself to
Signor Santini, cried, with a menacing
gesture, "YOu are a coleopterOn!" To
call a man beetle possessed the three
essentials Of absurdlty, unexpectedness
and injustice, and therefore attained at
a bound the dignity Of a first class in
suit, whose immediate outcome was a
scene of wild disorder. 1t is a splen-
did word of cOntumely, as witty as Dr..
Johnson's "parallelopipedOn" and much
more insulting, for almost every one
knows that a parallelopipedon is very
respectable figure, but a coleOpteron!

Christianity Spreading In Japan.

DIR. William Elliot Griffis, who was
formerly a professor in the Imperial
university of Japan and is one of the
highest authorities in all matters per-
tanning to that country, expresses it as
his belief that the prospects for the
spread of Christianity in Japan are
much better now than they were be-
fore the war. The fact that so many OF
the prominent generals and japanese
statesmen under the new regime are
professed Christians has undeniably
given a great impetus to this faith
among the common people. This prom
ise is confirmed by the reports of mis-
sionaries in Japan and also by the
American Tract society, which has
maintained an extensive work ia that
country and in Korea. Among the cit
les from which in the last year have
come requests for the permanent es-
tablishment Of administrative secreta-
ries is Tokyo. In reference to the pos
sible extension of the tract society S
work we are informed that Englands
entrance to Tibet has left its gates ajar
and that certain sacred" cities OF
Arabia seem about to pass out of their
seclusion under the sultan's rule.-Les-
