"MR. EDWARD"

~NN~~7SN(S~~0ON~N
In 1888 the Prince OF Wales was
much interested In the creation and
Organization Of the College of Music
In London. He caused 1t to be init
mated to the late Sir Henry Irving that
nc would show the Interest OF another
and allied branch of art In the under
taking If the dramatic, artists would
give a benefit for the new college. The
prince even suggested that Robert Ma
calre" would do excellently for the oc-
casion, with an all-star cast.
or course Irving was delighted to
help, and the result was splendid per-
Torrance, at which the Prince and
Princess of Wales attended, and sum
Of more than one thousand pounds was
turned over to the colege-the entire
receipts. Irving himself, says Mr.. Bran
Stoker In his Personal "Reminiscences
Of Henry Irving" paid all the expenses.
In the first year Of Its working when
the class for dramatic study was or
ganlzed, Irving was asked by the direc-
torate to examine It, which he did cheer
rully, and in due time made his report.
Soon afterward he received letter OF
thanks for his services.
Although quite formal, 1t was a most |
genial and kindly letter, and to the sig |
nature was appended chairman" In
acknowledging it to Sir George Grove,
the director of the college, Irving said
what pleasure It had been to him to
be an examiner, and assured Sir George
that he would gladly hold his services
At the disposal of the college. He add
I'd t. his letter this postscript:

He got Mortified letter sent by mes
enger from Sir George, explaining that

Moral Courage.

To do wrong, or, what is the same
thing, to refrain from doing right, when
the time for action arrives, because we
are afraid Of what other people may
say or think, is the worst form Of slav-
cry. TO break such bonds, we need a
deeper conservation to truth and duty.
We may admit all the arguments
against such bondage, and yet fail to
escape It; but II we are faithful and
loyal. to the good and the right-if In
our inmost heart we love and honor

tInually growing within us that moral

MoSLEM RULES OF EATING.
Most of Them Seem Based on the
Best Sanitary Ideas.

Most of Them Seem Based on the
Best Sanitary Ideas.
The rules set down by the old Mos
lem precept as to how to behave re-
ligiously and appropriately at meals are
interesting, though whether they are
devoutly complied with in times of fes-
tival is doubtful. Here are some exam
pies: Wash your hands and mouth be-
fore eating When eating never put
one leg upon the other nor put your
elbows upon the table, as this binders
good digestion.
Never be slave Of your repast and
never touch any meal If you are not
hungry. Be ever content with what
you find before you and never give
yourself great pains In preparing
choice dishes. Be always If possible
at the table in company with friends,
as the prophet never partook of his
meals alone. Always begin and end
your meal with thanksgiving to Allah.
Always eat with your right hand and
swallow, before and after food, a little
salt.
1t shows good upbringing and Is
pleasing to Allah ever to put into the
mouth only small morsels and never TO |
make any observations upon the de- !
fective qualities of dishes. Never cut /
bread with a knife, but, as the prophet
did, break 1t. Never choose the fruit
offered, but take any at hazard. Never
wipe your fingers with bread. Avoid
blowing on hot dish, but wait until
It gets cool. Eat dates, apricots and
other similar fruit one by one. remem.
bering In eating them thus the unity

Avoid at the table drinking much
water. Your meal finished, use attent-
yely the toothpick. gather up the
'rumbs and wash again your hands
md mouth. Lastly, render thanks 70

Thou shalt remember" In fact, the

In regard to our own miseries. 1t Is

Nothing will keep the soul alive to
all its duties so much as the living pre-

There is hardly precious stone that

with 1t. The Neapoltans will wear

on the person is supposed to be an in
fallible guard against lightning and
some persons have asserted that twas
a cure for thirst-what kind they did
not mention.
The beryl was by the ancients sup
posed to be a sure cure for leprosy and
to promote happiness between man and
wife. Turquoise Is said to be protec-
tion against falls and sudden injuries.
The topaz was highly priced by Abe an
clients, who believed that 1t had magi-
cal powers of dispelling entertainments
and calming frenzy
The sapphire was believed by the an
clients to be embematic of chastity.
The pagans dedicated it to Apollo The
green emerald Is held in highest es-

mines whence are extracted all e1ner-

itself to the opal nowadays than to any
