Russia's National Anthem.

The Russian national anthem is the
only national hymn which was adopted
as such in open competition. Until the
time of the Emperor Nicholas 1. the
English God Save the King had serv-
ed Russia, but Nicholas determined to
institute genuine and native Russian
anthem. He announced competition,
open to all musicians, for an original
national hymn. A musical committee
reduced the thousands Of entries to
two, and between these, the works of
Glinka and Lvoff, the car himself de-
cided. The highly martial character.
with the drums and trumpets, of
Lvoff's composition won the imperial
verdict, and it was decreed as hence
forth the Russian national anthem.

Wit and Aumor.

The quality of wit exists wherever
imagination percolates through the un-
derstanding; the sediment is the grain
gold of wit But the quality of humor,
depending upon various moral straits,
exists only wherever a broad magma
ton is combined with a sweet and toll
Grant moral sense that is devoid Of
malice and all uncharitableneSs and at
peace with all mankind. A petulant
egotism may exist with wit, but never
with humOr Where there is
no sense of incongruity there can be no
sense of humOr. That sense Is mans
eXpedient to make his mortality endur-
able. The laughter of man is the con-
tentment of God.-John Weiss.
