A BATTLE FOR A HAT.
And How the Victor In the Struggle
Lost the Trophy.

And How the Victor In the Struggle
Lost the Trophy.
Verdi had stepped from an incom-
ing train in Genoa once at time when
Marquis di Rudini, the Italian premier,
was in the station. The marquis rec
Ognized the musician and requested
the station master to introduce him.
He greeted Verdi warmly, congratulate
ed him on his fine health and wished
him many more years Of life.
After taking leave Of the premier
Verdi went to the station buffet and on
returning to his train forgot his hat.
This was an opportunity not to be lost
by two admirers of the musician. They
had been watching him long, and now
they simultaneously sprang for the
hat. Both reached it at once, one
Selling one side of the brim and the
other the opposite. A lively combat
ensued, and the two swayed backward
and forward in their desire to retain
the treasure. The lady came off vic
torious. "Ahw she exclaimed trium-
phantly. "Now I've got it, and intend
to keep it!'
Her surprise was only equaled by
his dismay when gentleman who
had been watching the conflict for
some time stepped forward with the
remark, "But this is my hat!' A loud
laugh rang out from the onlookers, a
laugh in which even the combatants
were fain to join. The hat changed
hands, and the lady changed color
when a moment or two later she saw
the trap into which she had fallen.
It was the hat of the great composer,
and the stranger had secured it by an
unjustifiable ruse.

TRAVELLING, IN EUROPE.
What It Means to Ride Second Class on
tho Railroads.


A delusion of the guidebooks is the
advice to ride second class on the rail-
roads of Europe. 1t is often pointed
out that first class and second class are
frequently but divisions of the same
car, and this makes a great impression
on the inexperienced traveller, particu-
larry If his purse is limited Landing
at Plymouth Southampton, Havre,
Cherbourg, Liverpool, you are at once
conveyed to London or Paris on steam
er trains" under the same excellent
conditions that have prevailed on your
trip, but thereafter you are at your
own resources, and If you are wise you
will not only travel first class, but you
will see to it that your seat is always
engaged we'll ahead. If you travel Sec
ond class betEeen cities that CORE
spond to New York and Philadelphia,
say where intercourse Is frequent and
numerous. you will most likely have
to stand up in all second class COM
partments. To get second class seat
between Vienna and Budapest, for ex-
ample, is about like boarding train
for Coney Island at Brooklyn bridge on
a summer Sunday afternoon, and if
you do get seat somebody else sand
wiches and sausages on your lap.
Another point to be remembered is
that in Europe you cannot engage a
whole sleeping compartment for your
self, as you can here. You have to
show a ticket for each berth. There
fore it behooves the person travelling
alone at night to seek out before ar
ranging the trip some suitable CON-
panion or for parties Of three or five or
any odd number to make similar pro-
visions.-Travel Magazine.

What Is the English Throne7

The English throne-what is it? Is it
the stone chair of Westminster abbey
That is only occupied once by each
king or queen, and that only at the cor
onation ceremony. Is it the chair Of
state in the house of lords or the re-
ception chair at Buckingham palace or
the sumptuous gilt thing which the king
uses at Windsor when he receives the
foreign ENJOYS? It Is an interesting
question, which some people would like
to have answered. Most everybody,
however, has come to the conclusion
that in the majority Of countries the
throne is merely symbol, and the eX-
pressions ''he has succeeded to the
throne" and speeches from the throne
are only metaphors.

Enriched by an Earthquake.

with all the harm that earthquakes
d." said rug dealer, ut is pleasant to
hear Of an entire town that an earth
quake enriched. The town I mean is
Ouzoun-Ada, on the Caspian sea, the
terminus Of the Transcaspian and Sa-
markand railway. Ouzoun-Ada in the
past had a miserable port, but few
years ago an earthquake visited her.
and on it's departure she found herself
the richer by harbor deep enough to
float the largest ships. Since that for
tunate visit Ouzoun-Ada's population
and wealth have trebled."
