From the London Chronicle.
What became of the Duke of Cumber-
lands sword. which was lost or stolen at
the Haymarket Theater January 16, 1749?
It was ON the night OF the great Battle
Hoax According to advertisement, a
man was to play on a common walking
cane the music of every instrument now
used to perfection; get into a quart bottle
without equivoCation, and while there
sing several songs" besides doing other
things only little less marvellous. More
marvellous that the theater should have
been packed with spectators, including
many of the nobility, and the Duke of
Cumberland, OF Culloden fame.
The conjuror did not appear, but one
of the theater officials did, and informed
the house that all money would be re-
turned at the doors. Cumberland was
the first that few in a rage" cotem-
porary account tells US, and called to
pull down the hoase. He drew his sword
and was In such rage that somebody
slipped in behind him and pulled the
sword out of his hand. which was as

Landowner VS.. Aviator.
From Harper's Weekly.


In the United States and in England
there has been little progress as yet to-
ward clearly defined Gods of aerial law,
In this country. a few weeks ago, the
federal, state and municipal governments
suddenly appeared to realize that fleets
of airships might be an imminent posi-
billy, and that individual aviators by
the hundred probably would be flying
about over the country before long. 1t
is lust proposed, for one thing. that the
states establish sky highways" by con-
them aside and taking title, precisely as
though they were land.
This is the most definite suggestion
made as yet, with one remarkable excep-
ton. That is. that some prominent prop

engage eminent counsel for each side.

ayiators, it is suggested. should fly across
the property-owner's land, the hight be-

the landowner should sue the 'man-bird'
for trespass.

The Northern Genius.
From Harper's Weekly.

The Anglo-Saxon melancholy is the
most terrible peWer the human heart
ever conceived: by comparison the
Wanted Celtic melancholy is as a young
girl weeping over her dead dove. But
the Anglo-Saxon melancholy and awe
brought forth the strongest force in the
world-the Anglo-Saxon fortitude; and
it went down into the pit of hell and
brought forth the key of heaven, and in
the fires OF hell 1t brewed out OF poison
the cordial of Immortality. Does Brown
ing's optimism seem strange growth of
the black fen, and Henley's savage cour-
age an unlikely blossom? Both are rooted
in the depths Of the racial consciousness
and both have the healing potency re-
served to recognized affinity. Yes, if not
the goal of life, then life itself must be
the good; IL not accomplishment, then
ceaseless endeavor: If not success, then
perpetual overcoming; If not repose, tri-
umphant labor. If this Is so, we of the
north may hold our heads high and
square our shoulders. knowing ourselves
quite literally every one conqueror.
Courage and strength come when we
cease saying 1T want" and begin to say
It will" Courage and strength to face
the shadows and all our bad dreams. The
will may he the only thing left man.
but II is also the only thing needful. If
experience and not happiness is the end
of life. then the mists and apprehensions
and indeterminate terrors are of the
very soul-stuff itself.
The northern genius will never be clear
or sure or untroubled. 1t will live in the
shadows, 1t will have dark places for its

Interpretation of Bach.

From the Chicago Post
Where the idea came from that TO play

human minds could conceive Is nSs-

nous output credited to any musician
pouring from him In an unbroken stream

be played with the metronome going. and

nonsense Small wonder most people
dread the very sound of his name. ahd
what a shame 1t is that he must usually
be heard through a medium SO 1nelastic

opener is a cup-shaped affair, like large
thimble. which fits over the end of the
egg. 1t is fitted with cutting or scraping
blades which are actuated by springs so
that their pressure against the she'll is
yielding one. The cup is placed over the
end OF the egg and pressed down till the
cutters pierce the shell. 1t is then re-
volved and a neat circular piece OF the
shell is taken out as clean as a whistle
The opener Is then removed and the con-

is pointed downward and below the cabi-

held their annual banquet last night at
the Arlington Hotel, and after enjoy
ing the good things Of the menu,
leaned back and listened to story after
story of war days nearly half a cen

1t was a civil war evening, from a
Union standpoint and more particular
" a Cd Army Corps standpoint. from
start to finish. Even the orchestra
caught the spirit and knew what was
expected of it. for the airs it played,
with one or two exceptions, were war
time melodies. The old soldiers took
up the tunes. and drowned the
musicians efforts in the words.
Battles and skirmishes were fought
over again. after the manner of old
soldiers. whose great delight is in the
recollection of younger days when fare
was scanty and bullets were thick.
