A Philadelphian on his return from
Berlin talked at the Philadelphia club
about Kaiser Wilhelm.
70 know the kaiscr's ballet Of
'Stardanapalus?'" he said. We'll, this
ballet made a success, and in its honor
the kaiser gave a dinner.
Berlin is laughing over an incident
of The dinner. 1t seems that one of tho
speakers said In the curse Of his
speech:
This ballet teaches US a powerful
lesson. 1t shows us that we cannot es-
cape our fate. AS the immortal VIII

MORAL VALUE OF THE SWORD.
Weapon Purely Ornamental, But Can
not Be Discarded.

Officers of the German army are to
be ordered to resume their swords,
discarded after the Boer war. The
fact is of interest as showing recog-
milton by the army authorities of the
moral value of weapon now become
purely ornamental. With the enemy's
firing line miles away, the sword has
come to be regarded as military toy
merely One of the minor lessons Of
the Japanese war was the demonstra.
tion of its usefulness as a distinguish
ing mark of the officer.
To do away with the sword would
be to effect a military economy at the
expense of the spirit of the service, of
kind with the silencing of the drum
in the French army. In the sword lies
half the poetry of war. Where else
on canvas is martial glory so vivified
as in Meissonier's "Friedland," with
the cuirassiers galloping before Ma
poleon, their swords raised on high
Sober fact makes it true that the
long-range rife no less than the pen is
mightier than the sword. States can
be saved without it, and peaceful ma
tions will continue to beat their
swords into plowshares.

In the early days OF the settlement
Of New England the custom Of send
ing packages by neighbors who jour
neyed to different parts Of the country
was an established one. The note
book Of Schoolmaster Joseph Hawley
of Northampton, Mass, when he
started on a trip to Boston, was filed
with such varied items as: Capt.
Partridge, dial and dish kettle, "
son, Joseph speckled red ribbon,
whistles, buckles and fish hooks. "a
shilling worth Of plumb and spice, "
two psalters, bason and quart
pot" In "Old Paths and Legends Of
the New England Border" Katherine
NJ. Abbott says that it was the same
even as late as Judge Lyman's day;
his daughter Mrs. Lesley, writes Of Il
in "Recollections OF My Mother:
There We're no expresses then. and
so when IL was known in the village
OF Northampton that Judge and Mrs.
Lyman were going to Boston-and
they always took pains to make 1t
known--a throng of neighbors were
coming in the whole evening before,
not only TO take an affectionate leave,
but to bring parcels Of every size and
shape, and commissions Of every
variety.
One came with a dress she wanted
to send to daughter at school, one
brought patterns Of dry goods, with a
request that Mrs. Lyman would pur-
chase and bring home dresses for a
family of five. And would she 90 to
the orphan asylum and see If good
child Of ten could be bound out to an
other neighbor? Would Mrs. Lyman
bring the child back with her?
The neighbors walked into the IL
brary, where the packing was going
on, and when all the family trunks
were filled my father called out heart
lily: Here, Hiram. bring down an
other trunk from the garret, the larg-
est you can find, to hold all these par
cels!"
A little boy came timidly in with
bundle nearly as large as himself, and
would this be too large for Mrs. Ly-
man to carry to grandmother"
NO, indeed. Tell your mother III

stove"
Another trunk. Hiram" said my ia

could wait five minutes for family so

amarried In London"

"All the way to London to be mar
ried." said the engaged girl. THAT is
where we are going. 1t seems a long
trip. an expensive trip, an unnecessary
trip. when there are so many minis
ters in New York aching for chance
to perform a marriage ceremony. Yet
IL isn't such foolish proceeding after
all. Every season more and more
American couples marry in London.
Some of them only go over for the
ceremony, then straight home again.
Nothing adds quite as much distinc-
ton to an account of wedding as that
one phrase Married in London. 1t
counts for more than the biggest
church in New York. with half dozen
bridesmaids and safety deposit vault
full Of presents thrown in. And it
isn't nearly so expensive. Just to be
married in London. with all fuss and
furry dispensed with, is a big enough
social feather to fit anybody's cap. The
trip doesn't cost a fraction of the
money that would be spent on any
New York wedding elaborate enough
to bring ii up to the level of the sim
plest marriage celebrated in London. "

by lady autograph hunter who
longed to approach him, album in
hand, but did not dare to do so. One
morning she saw him scribble on one
of the little cards which are used
when passengers order any drinks
they may require. These cards are
collected into little bundles at the end
Of the week and then redeemed. The
fair huntress darted after the stew
ard who had the card, and begged to
be allowed to keep it and pay for the
order, which read Two sodas and
one whisky" and the signature was
'R. Kipling."
