SURPRISE FOR ALL CONCERNED,
convlvial Russian Party Broke Up In
Some Disorder.

AS all the world knows, queer things
happen In the land Of the czar. There
are grand duke and a grand duchess
IN 81. petersburg who do not refer in
private conversation to an incident in
which the" both figured. A theatrical
company arrived in the Russian cap
ital from Berlin. The leading lady
was pretty and the tenor WAS an
kdonis. The grand duke and the
grand duchess enjoyed the first per-
tormance very much indeed. The next
afternoon the grand duke had On en-
sagement and went alone to q first
class cafe in the city, where he was
joined by the leading lady he had
seen the night before. The cafe is so
arranged that it has a number Of
small rooms facing central hall, at
the top OF which a band discourses
sweet music. The grand duke found
the actress beautiful, but lacking. in
wit. He was having stupid time and
enVled the occupants of the next room.
who were shrieking with merriment.
L know what We'll do" his high.
ness finally. said to his companion.
Lets go into the next room. A party
OF four ought to be congenial."
But they may object" the actress
suggested.
"Oh, no. they won't. am the grand
duke"
The couple walked into the next
room.
Tableau.
10 the horror OF the grand duke,
there was the grand duchess sitting at
! a table with the tenor Of the company
to which the actress belonged. The
tenor looked at the actress with aa
much amazemept as the grand duke
and grand duchess did at each other.
Shouting at the grand duke that he haG
tnsulted his wife (for this was the re.
lation he had with the woman) he
rushed at him, and for a few minutes
there was great mixup in the little
room. The attendants hurried to the
scene and separated the combatants.
the tenor drove. away with his wife
and the grand duke took the grand
duchess to their palace.
The next day the theatrical com.
pany lacked two Of it's principals. The
tenor and his wife had heen giyer
passports early in the morning and
escorted to the train by the police.

His One Yarn,

four men who at one TIME or m.
other had enjoyed the hospitality OF
one Canadian camp were talking
around an open fire in a club the
other night about the taciturnity Of
the average Canadian guide. The e1-
perience meeting had been opened by
one man who had been telling of two
days he"spent with q native woodman
In pursuit Of q moose, and who in all
that time had only spoken once, and

that theit way through the forest was

LEARNED ~ SAD EXPERIENCE.
katr Lad Found Gut Just What .
Beating Meant.

Just as kafir is slow in locating
tain which is being experienced in his
own body, SO is he slow in imagining
what others are suffering. A grown
up kafir related, says Mr.. Dudley
hldd. in Savage Childhood" that
"hen he was child his father threat
ened him with beating if he did
something or other
The child was PUZZLED as 10 whar
sort of thing a beating might BE. for
although he had often seen his bigger
brothers beaten, his Imagination Was
unable to work on the sight and re-
construct the experience of these 9TH
ers into terms Of his own senses
:! When his father threatened him.
therefore, he simply laughed, for he
had not the remotest idea of how q
beating really felt. 1t took a very
short time for the young gentleman to
extend the boundaries of his knowl-
edge.
Swift retribution followed the un-
pardonable sin of showing disrespect
to his father. AS the children go
about entirely bare, there was no de-
lay Tor preparation. The father took
stick and applied 1t vigorously, "ac-
cording to directions" and with entire
success.
when the tears and smarting were
over," said the Kaflr in his old age. 81
sat down and thought It over. Well

stupid I was before that"--Youth's

Canaanite BurialR.

Some important discoveries have,
lately been made with regard to the
burial customs Of the Canaanites. The
bodies were usually deposited In
caves, as Abraham deposited the body
OF Sarah. The caves were either
natural hollows in the rock, such as
abound in Palestine, or srtificially
formed excavations, usually roughly
circular. On the floor OF these caves
the body was laid, in a contracted no.
sition. Stones were placed round r.
and earth strewn over It. For the use.

One Of the little details that fall to
