The Durbar.

The Durbar, held near Delhi,
India, late in 1911, was probably the
most brilliant spectacle that the
world has ever seen A Durbar was
originally the audience room Of an
Oriental monarch. and this title was
one Of the devices used to catch the
Imagination Of India. and possibly to
please Queen Victoria.
This last Durbar, the third, out
shines every previous effort, upwards
of l40 Indian princes and 10000
soldiers taking part In this spectacle

Concert at Christian Church.

Miss Hawley, pianist, and Miss
Bane, soprano, from Brattleboro
will give a concert at the Christian
church next week Wednesday even
ing, Nov. ID, which will be of more
than ordinary interest to music
lovers. The following is from an
appreciative notice in Brattleborc
paper:
Miss Bane is the happy possessoi
of pleasing and especially musical
voice of soprano range which GER
tainly evidences careful training.
Slight in figure, her resonant, bril-
liant, and vigorous delivery came as
delightful surprise to the audi.
ence. Her rendering OF the operate
numbers was a revelation to her
hearers who have been led to expect
such efforts from opera singers only
The selection from the Creation was
given in the best oratorio form. The
quartet of songs under one number
perhaps aroused more enthusiasm
than any other part of the program,
but the rendering of the Ave Maria
and Cling Mars selections, by
Gounod, we're appealing in the ex
treme. Distinctness of enunciation
and absence of tremolo we're crafty
ing So varied program gave proof
Of exceptional versatility and cul-
ture. 3
Miss Hawley, the pianist, was re
ceived with much enthusiasm and
great pleasure. Her selections were
classical and were rendered in ex-
cellent taste and showed not only
marked ability in execution, hut that
rarer quality of intelligent interpre-
tation which is a gift not possessed
by all players.
The program for next Wednesday
evenings concert follows:

REAL FOUNTAIN OF PUNCH
Provided by a British officer in 1894
for the Entertainment OF Six
Thousand Guests.

Some of the papers have recently
devoted attention 70 the origin of
punch. that famous seventeenth cen
tury drink which has long lost its
popularity in this country. though "
still survives 10 some extent In Eu'
rope.
Owing to its intimate connection
with rum one might easily have ina.
gined that punch originated in the
West Indies. In fact, however, II
actually came from the East Indies
ard the name Is said TO be derived
from the Sanskrit "panscha, Ave. on
account of its FIVE ngredients-arras

and hot water
The most magnificent bowl of punch
the world has ever seen was probably
that provided by the Right Hon. Ed
ward Russell. who. when commanding
the British torces IN the Mediterran'
can in 1894. entertained 5000 guests
at Alicante. where a large marble
fountain was filled with the liquor,
the ingredients being:

Concerning the Mole.

Naturalists aver that among COM
mon animals few have been less
studied in their life history than the
mole. Accordingly a British scientist
his turned his attention to the mole,
with the result that some interesting
data concerning this queer creature
have been collected.
Under the edifice which the mole
constructs above the surface of the
ground will always be found a series
of tunnels. A curious feature, almost
invariably found is a perpendicular
run penetrating about a foot below the
bottom of the nest and then turning
upward to meet another run. A mole
is never. one authority contends,
found in his nest, although 1t may be
vet warm from his body when opened.
Guided by smell and hearing, mole
frequently locates the nest of a par
tride or pheasant above his run and.
penetrating 1t from below, eats the
eggs. The adult mole is practically
blind. but there are embryonic indica-
tions that the power of sight in the
race has deteriorated.-H s
