patient who was complaining Of that
feeling. ANY monotonous sound near

even the scratching OF a clerks pen is
sufficient TO induce a feeling Of sleepi-

a ROYAL Funeral and an Embarrassed
RIundering OFFICIAL.

NFf~-tfrT'
The Comtesse de Boiene's memoirs
contain an interesting account Of the
departure from life OF Louis xviii,
an event which the king himself had
long been anticipating
SIZE was great stickler for eti-
nuette and gave the most minute I'M
struetions about bis 0baeauies. Az
he ceremonials observed at the de-
parture Of the kings Of France were to

traordlnary memory be settled the
procedure down to the smallest details.
At the last the royal almoner made
mistake in reading the prayers for
those IN extremis. Louis XVIII. inter-
rupted him ana corrected the mistake
with a presence OF mind and calmness
which never left him for moment.
The family was assembled at the end
Of the room and was deeply affected.
The doctors, the attendants on duty
and the clergy were around the bed.
The first gentleman Of the chamber
held the curtain. When the chief
physician gave the sign that all was
over, he let 1t fall and, turning around,
bowed to the princes. Monsieur left
the room sobbing, and madame pre-
pared to follow him. Hitherto she had
always taken precedence Of her hus-
band as the kings daughter. When
she reached the door, she suddenly
stopped, and through the heartfelt
tears with which her face was stream
ing she said with difficulty, Take pre-
cedence, Dauphinv He Immediately
obeyed without any hesitation or re-
mark. The first gentleman announced
the king The courtiers repeated the
king, and Charles x. reached his
rooms.
THE master Of ceremonies made
some slight blunders over the royal
funeral. Charles X. overlooked them
and spoke kindly to the embarrassed

fects. Next time we viii do better.

Her Game Blocked.

The timld looking little woman on
the Euclid car noticed that her purse
was not IN her big where she had
placed it. Instead, 1t was hanging from
her arm on a chain--h hanging in full
view where it would tempt the nimble
fingers OF the pickpockets assigned to
that beat With great forethought she
picked. up the purse and started to put
1t in the bag. But the purse didn't 80
in, because It was attached TO the arm
of the persimmony faced woman stand
ing next to her. OF course the woman
with the bag stopped right there and
dropped the strangers purse.
You'd better let that alone, spoke up

on, and you needn't think / didn't see
what you were trying to do."-CIeye-

| OPERA HOUSE NOTES.
A Beautiful Play Of the Days Of Our
Saviour.

A Beautiful Play or the Days OF uul
Saviour.
The influence Of the Saviour Of man
kind permeates and ilumines every
scene Of The Holy City, Clarence Ben
nett's powerful religious play, which i
to be the Offering al the opera house
next Tuesday night. This il all the
more remarkable when the fact is con
sidered that He does not appear upon
the stage. Mr.. Bennett has SO ingeni-
ously and masterfully conjured up the
atmosphere OF those bitter days 1000
years ago when the Son OF God met His
death upon the hill Of Calvary III expia-
tion for the sins Of man that the specta-
tor unconsciously feels the nearness Of
the Teacher and Guide who is SO con
stantly referred to.
There is one Of the reasons that has
prompted so many-elergymen to heartily
endorse the play and TO recommend it
not only to protesting Christians, but
to all seekers after truth whatever their
faith. The play is not an adaptation
Of the scriptural story II IS the scrip
tural story without alteration or change,
the narrative recorded by the eyangel-
lists. There is an added story which
deals with the love Of Salome, the daugh-
ter Of Herodias, for Marius, d young
Roman, but that - entirely separate
and distinct and does not detract from
the other story Of the persecution, death
and glorious resurrection Of the Christ.
The play is presented BY a company
OF rare excellence. Nearly all Of the
parts are character parts and players
having especially facility in the delinea-
tion of strongly marked roles were
chosen for the principal characters
The settings. are unusually ornate, mass
i've and rich and the costuming is lavish
in the extreme.
