Silent and Dramatic.

The most dramatic Of silent men
was Wallenstein, the antagonist of
Gustavus Adolphus and the command
er Of the emperor's armies in the Thir-
ty Years war. He insisted that the
deepest silence should reign about him.
His officers took care that no loud DON
versation should disturb their general.
They knew that a chamberlain had
been hanged for waking him without
orders and that an officer who Would
wear clanking spurs in the comm hand
ers presence had been secretly put
to death. In the rooms of his palace
the servants glided as if theyE were
phantOms, and a dozen sentinelS NOV
ed about his tent charged to secure
the silence the general demanded.
Chains were stretched across the
streets in order to guard him against
the disturbance of sounds. Wallen-
STEMS taciturnity, which made him
shun speech, and his love of silence,
which caused him to be irritated at the
slightest noise, were due to his consti-
tutional temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from
any one, and he could not endure to be
gaZed at, even when giving an order.
The soldiers, when he crossed the
camp, pretended not to see him, know
ing that curious look would bring
them punishment.

NICE POINTS ABOUT TITLES.
American Women Responsible for Many
Errors.

Many people make a decent living by
writing about heraldry and things of that
sort without being in the least equipped
for the task, and so they make the most
ridiculous mistakes. The common slip is
with the sons and daughters of peers of
higher rank. Their titles being those Of
courtesy the possibility of error is the
more frequent.
Thus we are constantly told, says the
correspondent of Town and Country,
that the widow of Mr.. Hammersly, who
became Duchess of Marlborough and lat
er Lady William Beresford, is LADY
Beresford, the wife of Lord Beresford."
Also that Cora, Countess of STAFFORD (be-
ing the widow of Lord STAFFORD, another
Lady STAFFORD having succeeded is real
Iy Lady Cora STAFFORD, which if true
would make her the daughter of peer.
A lady of great rank said the other
day that American women had intro

to sign yourself, for instance, Cora

STAFFORD"
Now one would suppose that this small
matter would make little difference in
this matter of fact world, but it has,
made enough difference to cause many
learned men to sit up late at night dis
putting the legality of the point and many
reams of official note paper have been
hesmeared on the subject.

Apart from these, Austria has pro-
vided many skaters quite in. the first
class. AS BELTS nation of dancers,
its skaters display remarkable delicacy,
lightness of touch and harmony, and in
skating to music their rhythm is match
less.
Hungary also has produced several
notable skaters, the best being L. Won
Foldvary of Budapest. Switzerland has
few figure skaters, and none of distinction.
To Sweden belongs the distinction of
having provided Ulrich Salchow, who
holds the remarkable record of having
won the worlds championship five sue
cessive years. The Norwegians skate.

much vigor, they favor speed rather
than the figure department of the sport.

repletion of the stomach has the effect
of drawing up the diaphragm and short

lengthening the waist. The mechanical
effect of this is that the stout, well-fed
