Ascot, England, June 2l.-Although every day of Ascot week has attractions. Thursday, Gold Cup Day, Is considered the great one of the meeting. This year was no exception, immense crowds going down to see the people gathered in the inclosures and incidentally to witness the races.

Ambassador and Mrs. Reid, the staff of the American embassy and Con gressman Nicholas Dongworth and Mrs. Longworth rode to Ascot In automobile cars, there joining a large number or their compatrlots in the royal inclosure. The number of Americans in the King pavilion this year was quite noticeable. Besides those invited through the em- bassy. many American residents In Eng land were among the royal guests.
 The hitherto only once defeated Pretty Polly started a hot favorite in the race for the gold cup, and the popular mare fought If out to the finish with Bache- lors Button and Pretty Polly bringing up the rear. This order was unchanged until half the distance, when the last horses improved their position, and for a brief period Achilles led the field, but on approaching the stand Bachelors But ton and Pretty Polly assumed command. and Maher, riding a splendid race, grad ually brought his mount to the front, and landed him a winner by length Pretty Polly was second. and Achilles was third Five horses started.

The use of perfume was indu!%cd h to such an extravagant degree by the ancents that some of the more aScetic men had good reason to denounce it.

Tennyson's Antronom y.

In Tennyson's Palace of Art occur the lines

 Mars.
 That mystic field of drlfted light In mid Orion, and the married stars.
 This at first looks like a literary par allel to Swift's well known fortuitous forecast of the discovery of the Mar tian satellites, and J. $. Stevenson, writing from Blairavon, Norwood, Ceylon, points out that Professor H.. H. Turner quotes 1t in Modern Astron- omy' as having been written in 1855. This. however appears not to have been the case. for MT. Stevenson on reference 10 the biography of the late poet laureate by the present Lord Tennyson has found the note: Tine Moons of Mars is the only modern reading here All the rest are more than half d century oil.

TABLE NAPKINS.
They Came Into General Use In the
 Fifteenth Century.

They Came Into General Use In the
 Fifteenth Century.
 Curiously enough, that article, now considered almost indispensable, the table napkin, was first used only by children and was only adopted by elder members of the family about the mid dle of the fifteenth century. In eti- quette books of an earlier date than this among other sage pieces of advice for children are instructions about wip- ing their fingers and lips with their napkins.
 It seems that the tablecloth was long enough to reach the floor and served the grown people in place of napkins. When they did begin to use napkins they placed them first on the shoulder, then on the left arm and finally tied them about the neck. A French writer who evidently was conservative and did not welcome the napkin kindly re cords with scorf
 "The napkin is placed under the chin and fastened in the back. as if one were going to be shaved. A person told me that he wore his that way that he might not soil his beautiful frills."
 It was a difficult matter to tie the two corners in the back, and 1t Is said that thence originated our expression for straitened circumstances. Hard to make both ends meet" This custom led to the habit of table walters carry ing a napkin on the left arm.

Stor, of the Origin of "In the Sweet

 4 song of national circulation, In the Sweet By and By" written by S. Fillmore Bennett of f.llihOrn, Wis, had It's birth in a country store. Mir. Ben nett told the story, which Is given in Wisconsin in Three Centuries" as fol lows:
 It was about time for closing busi ness in the evening when J. r. Web ster. whose melodies have made Wis cousin famous, came into the store, feeling somewhat depressed.
 said to Webster. What is tue mat ter now?"
 He replied, "It is no matter; it will be all right by and by
 The idea of the hymn came 10 me like q hash of sunshine, and replied: "The sweet by aud by. Why would not that make a good hymnt'
 Maybe it world" he said indiffer cntly.
 then turned to ny desk and penned the hymn as fast as could write. l handed 1t to Mir Webster As he read 1t his eyes kiIldled and his whole de meanor changed. Stepping to the desk. he began writing the notes instantly.
 In few moments hc requested Mir. Bright t) hand him his violin. and he played with little hesitation the beau tiful melody from the notes. X few moments later he had jotted down the notes for the different partS and the chorus.
 do not think il WAS more than thir- ty minutes from the time l took a1y pencil to write the words before the hymn and the notes had all been com pleted and four of Us were singing it exactly as it appeared ill the Signet Ring q few days later and as it has been sung the world over ever since.
