In Memoriam.

Come unto me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden and l will give
you rest''-is one of the sweet in
vitations of our blessed Lord and
Saviour. And just as the lily drops
it's petals one by one and droops and
dies under the sweltering sun-just
SO would the writer, moved by the
thoughts that come trooping to our
mind, portray the sweet spirit of
our kinswoman and friend, Grace.
The name itself is as refreshing as
the dewdrops on the rose, as pure as
the breath of morning, the incarna-
tion of innocence.
1t is pleasant indeed to recall the
life of this sweet girl. AS Brother
Armstrong so aptly suggested, what
a blessing to be blessed with good
Christian parents, and what an as
surance to have been reared in a
Christian home. 1t makes US thrice
blest indeed to enjoy the environ

refinement. Just so with the life
just passed before us over the beau
tiful river of which our friend so
often sang. 1t was the one sweet
purpose of her life to plan for
mother and father, to surprise them
with something pleasant, to dismiss
the shadows and dispel the gloom.
For years our homes were very
near. Cousin Mary and Anselmo
Harris were our neighbors, and we
know that Grace was happy in the
privilege of contributing to the hap
piness of her parents. She never
lost an opportunity. The dear girl
and a sweet sister were closely
united. They we're almost insepa-
rable, almost one in thought and

tanned the young married womens
card club at her home yesterday af-

500 and two of rock. The tables
were attractively arranged on the

of silver hatpins and at each table
an emery in flower design was the
attractive consolation prize.

Birth Of Music.

There are many legends concerning
the origin of music, but it is impossible
to say which is the Oldest. By the old
Romans the god Mercury was credited
with the invention of music. Accord
ing to Apollodorus, the belief was as
follows: The Nile after an overflow
left on the shore a dead tortoise. Its
flesh was finally dried up by the hot
sun, so that nothing remained in the
shell but the cartilages. which. being
braced and contracted by the heat. be-
came sonorous. Mercury, happening to
be walking that way and striking his
foot against the shell, was SO pleased
with the sound produced that the idea
Of a Tyre presented itself to his imagi-
nation. He Immediately constructed
the instrument in the form OF tor
toise and strung it with the sinews of
dead animals. And SO music began.

lucky Sort Of Way.
Americans, accustomed to the hustle
and hustle of our newspapers that are
enterprising to marvellous extent,
would be amazed II not exasperated
with the papers of India. One of these
sheets recently published this explana-
ton:
'This Is only the beginning of our
paper. We were not sure how much
matter was required to fill it up, and.
thinking we had sufficient, we did not
exert ourselves much to get any more.
We therefore beg that our readers will
excuse US for the space left blank and
promise to do better and get more in
the future"
How many subscribers would that
paper have in this country? Still more
curious was the announcement of a
paper that came out with two columns
blank, the editor having the cheek to
say that large quantity Of exceeding
~ interesting matter has been left out
for want Of space.
When the average East Indian editor
wants a holiday he suspends publica-
ton until it is convenient to resume
and, taking the public into his conf.
dence, informs them plainly why the
paper was not issued on the expected
dates. with the consent of our read.

holiday. We are sure none of them
will begrudge us our relaxation."-St.

German Helmets.

German military helmets. though
made Of steel, are as light almost as
a cloth cap or straw hat, and more
comfortable than a bowler. Round the
inside, where the helmet touches, is a
ring of metal 'leaf springs" bound
with leather. which lightly clips the
head to keep the helmet on without
heavy pressure. The brass spike or
knob that crowned the helmet is made
useful as well as ornamental. There
are large holes in It, which give very
good ventilation to the inside of the
helmet-much better than the pin
holes that are supposed to ventilate a
bowler. In fact, the Germans seem to
have succeeded in making really
comfortable bowler out Of paper thin

Il eavsd General Dc sssur From ths
Fury Of The kalmueiss.
In Napoleon's campaign In. Russia
one Of his generals, Philippe de Segnr.
had peculiar adventure with a band
Of Kalmueks. The Kalmucks are wan
dering tribes Of southeastern Russia.
They are fierce warriors, and their
light cavalry forms an important part
Of Russian armies. De Segur's pres.
ence Of mind saved him from being
killed BY them when the most desper
ate fighting could not have done so.
The French had attacked body Of
Russians and put them to tlight, when
Segur suddenly discovered that he and
q few French dragons had become
separated from the French army and
were being carried away with the re-
treating party.
He and bis men were surrounded by
a band Of Kalmucks. The situation
seemed so hopeless that the men gave
themselves up and, disregarding his
orders. passively allowed themselves
to be struck down. De Segur deter
mined to sell his life dearly and contin.
ued to fight. A Kalmuck lance struck
him from his horse. He jumped to bis
feet and. getting behind his horse. con-
tinued the struggle. 1t was hopeless
contest, however, and in a few mo-
ments he would have been killed had
not happy thought occurred to him.
The Kalmuck leader, a fine looking
Cossack. remained calm while his men
were carried away with the fury Of
battle. The expression on his naughty
countenance indicated that he scorned
to murder vanquished foe, and from
time to time he called. "Nikale. nikale!''
De Segur guessed that this was an
order to cease fighting. He shouted In
periously to the Kalmucks that sur.
rounded him. "Nikaler'
Immediately the fury died out Of
their faces. and they paused. motion.
less with establishment Their fury
once checked. Segur's life was saved
by their chief.
He learned afterward that the word
meant "Do not strike" and that while
the impetuous Kalmucks had not heed
ed the command of their chief they
were puzzled and disturbed at hearing
this word of their native dialect from
the mouth of one whom they supposed
to be an enemy.
De Segur was kept prisoner until 8
peace between France and Russia was
arranged some months later. - Elk

DIsGRAcED THE SENTINEL.
For Not Killing the Army Chief Who

For Not Killing the Army Chief Who
Had Struck Him.
In France in the seventeenth century
the Office of sentinel was a very solemn
charge, and q part Of the sentiners
duty was to resent and punish any at
front The severity of this punish
ment was in proportion to the high I'M
portance Of his Office. A Frenchman
relates an incident illustrative of this
fact:
In 1922 NJ. de Marillac rode away on
horseback from an audience with tho
king. His horse stepped on senti-
nel's foot The man struck the horse,
which leaped forward and shook NJ. de
Marillac in his saddle.
The rider turned and struck the SEN
tineL The soldier belonged to the CON-
pany of NJ. de Goas. who when he
heard Of this had him arrested and i'm
prisoned. He himself set out, sword
in hand, in search of NJ. de Marillac to
demand satisfaction for an insult to his
sentinel.
The king was informed of the incl
dent and sent for NJ. de Goas and NJ.
de Marillac. He reprimanded de Maril-
lac severely. told him that the sentinel
should have killed him and forbade
him to exercise his command as chief
marshal for six days.
The sentinel was tried before q coun-
ell Of war and was sentenced as a PEN
atty for not killing De Marillac to be
deprived Of his arms in the presence Of
bis regiment and to be tortured by the
srappado-that is. to be hoisted by q
rope to beam and let fall. The king
pardoned the man. but NJ. de Goas
would not have him in his company
again.-Washingto Star.

A Military Compliment.

During the South African war an
order was issued to the men of the
Highland regiments that they must
cover up their tartan kits as they
made too good targets for the enemy.
The order proved very unpopular and
caused great deal of dissatisfaction
among the soldiers concerned. When
Sir George White heard this he thought
of a way out of the difficulty.
"Let them cover up only the front
Of their kills." he said. 1.-THE enemy
