In OLD NORMAN FRENCH
English Kings Approval to Acts OF
Parliament Still Quantity Phrassd
In Language of Old Times.

Then the clerk of the crown
standing to the left of the commits
sioners bows to them and reads the
title of the first bill.
The clerk of the parliament on
the other side bows to the commits
sioners and then to the speaker and
announces in the old Norman
French phrase: Gle Roy lie veult,"
or the king wills it, and what was
before bill has now become an act
of parliament and the law of the
land. The same ceremony is re-
peated with every bill on the list.
In the case of bill granting
supplies or money to the sovereign
the phrase employed is: ole Roy
remercie ses bons sujets, accepte
leur beSevolence, ct ainsi ]eur
veult," rllct is, the king thanks his
good subjects, accepts their bounty,
and so wills it.
If it is a private bill, that is, a
bill to grant additional powers to
a railway or gas or other similar
company, the phrase used is: "Soit
fait CONNIE il est DESIRE" or be it
done as it is desired
When the king withholds assent
1t is by the simple words lie Roy
s'avisera," or the king will con-
slider.
The use of Norman French takes
the England OF to-day back four or
five centuries. Cromwell, that stout
old iconoclast for whom traditions
had no terrors, who called the mace,
that sacred symbol of the speakers
authority, "a bauble," and ordered
it thrown out of the house, gave his
assent to bills in English, and in
1907 bill passed the house of lords
and was we'll on its way to passage

What Is the manner of his life?

Has he a family and a wife.

You see him as he passes by.
So unobtrusive and subdued.
And 1t would be your brightest guess
That thought by him had been tabooed.
Yet that may be a sad mistake
For he may have a view or two
On all the topics Of the day
And what the government should do.
You cannot always gauge a man
BY how he gains his livelihood.
For he may have a batch OF facts
And In an argument MAKE good,

A Soma of October.

October is famed for its yellow,
Its russell and crimson and red.
Its atmosphere. hazy and mellow,
That. winclike. goes straight to our
head
And makes you grow lazy and laggard
And puts off your roubles a day,
While sorrow. all wrinkled and haggard,
IL kept by the season at bay.
A famous old month is October.
With soft hazy days and crisp nights
When nothing that's saddening or sober
Breaks in to dispell our delights.
The ghost of the summer departed,
The garnering time of the year
When we. half subdued, but glad hearted
Forget that the winter is near.

Humor of q Musician,

There are not a few people who pos
sess the idea that the late Joseph Joa-
chin, the celebrated Hungarian mas
ter violinist. was a man OF somewhat
stern disposition, with little or no ap-
probation of humor. The following
story from his biography written by
Andreas Moser goes n long way to dis
pei this misconception, says the De-
troit News-Tribune.
Joachim was in the habit of inter-
rupting his lessons in violin playing
with pointed remarks showing a live
ly sense of humor, says the Chicago
News. One day a pupil who was a
native of Konigsberg played the ada
gio from the ninth concerto of Spohr.
Although he played 1t correctly, it was
a dry performance, and Joachim re-
marked:
my dear r., it is no disgrace to
have been born in the city Of pure
reason but If I were you I would not
show it in my playing"
To another pupil who had played
the finale from a Mendelssohn concerto
very stolidly and heavily, he remark
ed. II beg for the next lesson that
b elves do not come to dance In rid
ing boots"
Another youth could not execute a
figure that was ornamented with bril-
liant shakes to his satisfaction. In
order to make the character of the
passage clear to the pupil Joachim
said, THAT passage Is meant for a
garland with blossoms hanging on it,
not potatoes"
