election here as though it had been
an Irish election. There is small cause
for surprise, as the successful candi-

ciates were all Irishmen, or sons Of
Irishmen and his oppOent was the de

here.
Richard Croker, the famous chief

"Tammany has been killed so often"
he said that il should be used to it
by this time. But 1 note it is always
resurrected after a very short period
in the grave. Tammany IS as imper-

the London homeopathic hospital
When she left London in November,
1912, Lieut. Pancheff was already in
the hospital at Lule BUrgas. After
the leutenants recovery he was de-
tailed for duty as an orderly to the
women doctors at the hospital where
she was stationed Although the lieut.
enant knew very little English. the
cOurtship proceeded very smoothly,
each party having a knowledge Of
French.
When Royalty Goes to a Show.
Among the complimentary tributes
paid to Miss BraddOn, the famous nov
elist, upon the attainment of her sew
enty-fifth birthday anniversary,
found no mention of that gifted
woman's drama. "GriseIda." performed
at the Princess forty years back. I
am reminded of this because there
stands before me a photograph of the
beautiful Mrs ROUsby. (wearing a
pork pie hatD She was the heroine
Of the play, her husband being the
count COsmO. The playhouse with
James Culver, its manager, and the
company it carried, have disappeared
forever.

Refreshments at Communion.
A London friend up north writes me
that there is more than a flutter up
Edinburgh way, where the minister Of
a Leith church, finding the wine cup
Unexpectedly empty, bluntly reminded
his congregation that the communion
table is not q refreshment bar If my
memory serves me right, Leith was
recently the birthplace OF crusade
against Sunday refreshment rooms.
Apparently. the good folk of those
parts are breaking out in a new place.
Ancient Cosmetics.
The collection of Egyptian antiqui-
ties at the Manchester museum has
had a valuable reinforcement recently
in the shape of relics dug up at Mem
phis and other places in the land OF
the PharOahs.
Among these finds were little ala
baster vases with lids TO them. which
are believed to have been used for
cosmetics, such as might be used by
Cleopatra and women of her time
Some OF the preparation is still left
in the form of a fine powder. Then
we find a palette stained with green
malachite. with the powder of which
the Egyptians were wont to paint
their faces. and an ivory spoon, which
is supposed TO date back to a period
Just prior to the first Egyptian -dy-
