Youth's Companion. , : A Wonderful Feat. In Its review of Pierre de Vasslere's book "Le Mort du Hoi" the Neueste N'achricbien dwells noon the account of the last seven tnluutes of Loult XVI. as described in tbe book. These were between 10:15. when the king ar rived at the foot of the guillotine, aud 10:22. "when a shot Bred at tbe end of be Champs Klysees. no one knows by whom, gave uotlce that the bead had fallen." The review calls attention to tbs statement by tbe author that the kibg's bauds bad been plulouet) be hind bliu by tbe executioner whllel Louis was putting on tbe cout which be was t wear at the end and that when be reached tbe platform of tbe Instrument of death be rusbed unas sisted to tbe upright farthest from the stairway, "slapplug tbe face of one of tbe assistant executioners who trl?d to stop blm." With hands fastened at hi back, thereviewer asks. "How did the doomed monarch manage to perforin tbe operation V" Etiquette by Precedent. . For example of how uieD may live andW't according to precedent there can be no better refereuce than to tbe lord chamberlain's office in London. There In quiet rooms day after day men lenrned in state etiquette, -court dress and royal fuuctlous reach down heavy volumes to see what was done on such and such an occasion. Beau tiful pictures showing with minute ex actness the details of the court cos tume under various circumstances are ready to their bands. Is the shab of Persia coming? is the kaiser soon to arrive? Is the king going to receive tbe 'monarch of Slam? Is one of tbe royal princesses to be married? When any of these events happens the offi clals at the lord chamberlain's office know exactly - what to do. And if some point should crop up" which has not been raised for a century or mqr they have tbe faithful official record as to what was done on the lost like occasion. Eecentrioities In Palaces. Tbe Russian Empress Anne built great, pulace of Ice and on occasions when tbe funcy seized her punished several of ber dainty courtiers by com pelling tbem to pass tbe night in this reat chamber of state, where they were almost frozen to death. Tbe Czar Puul constructed a rooui formed entirely of hujse mirror where be spent hours wiijklng to and fro In full uniform a singular taste for tbe nctlest man in Russia. One of tbe uatlve princes of Java cooled his palace by making a sireain fall in a cuaeade over tbe gateway and tbe Indian despot Tlppo Kablb placed beside his dinner table a life size figure of a tiger devouring an ICnglisb officer, tbe roar ot tbe beast nod tbe shrieks of the victim being imitated by bidden machinery.

Aristotle believed that some crea tares were capable of supporting- life even though confined to tbe devouring element. He says: "In Cyprus, when tbe manufacturers of cbalcitis (llmei burn It many days in tbe Ore. a winged creature something larger than a great fly Is seen emerging from the stone and leaping and walking about in tbe Ore. These creatures perish immedi ately upon, being . removed from the furnace." -.' Before nd After. .

"When I was in London." said Miss Warner to tbe little group of friends round the dinner table who were lis tening to' her account of some amus ing experiences she bad abroad last summer. "I tried to be as British as I could, but I was constantly getting mixed In my English pbrases. "Too know one of the underground railroads in London is always spokeu of as tbe nu'penny tube. so one day when I wished to tie transported in a hurry from one side of the city to tbe otber I astonished a big, pleasant faced bobby by asking where was tbe near est station of the 'twopenny tub.

The reason Is tobe found lu the state of mind that usually possesses the free aud Independent citizeu at that hour In tbe moniiug. a state of mind that makes blm unbearable to himself aud to every one who comes near him. Presumably It was not ever so, for invitations to breakfast were once common enough, and not so long ago either. .Mr. Gladstone used to have guests to breakfast every Thurs day morning as recently as 18S4. and It was thought sufficient to supply tea and coffee. ;gs, bread aud butter and perhaps some cold meat. Hut the really solid breakfast had come lute fashion long before then, nnd It, Is said that the Euirlish learned the fash ion from the Scotch. Motley, when he was ambassador to England, found that the substantial breakfast was evously opposed to the simpler cus toms of bis own country. He says. 'When I reflected that all these peo )le would lunch at '1 and dine at 8 I bowed my head In humiliation, and tbe fork dropped from my nerveless grasp." Argonaut. Big Clocks. The big clock of the Metropolitan tower at Madison square. New York. is by long odds the costliest and most elaborate public timepiece ever con structed and Is the only great clock in the world operated wholly by electric ity without the touch of bunion bands. Some of Its other wonders are Its size being the largest four dial tower clock and tbe third largest clock of any size in tbe world, and its altitude, which is the highest of any clock In the world. It bas also the biggest and heaviest striking bell. Tbe other three largest clocks are the one face dial of the Colgate fac tory in Jersey City, which is forty feet across, the next in size of mammoth public chronometers being the dial at St. Bombort's. lu tbe old city of Ma llnes. in Belgium, which Is tbirty-nlue feet across. St. Peter's of Zurich, Switzerland, has a dial face twenty nine feet, aud then lu order comes tbe Metropolitan tower clock, which Is tweuty-slx feet six inches in diameter. The Origin of the "Marseillaise." In tbe reign of terror under Kreron and Barras. when hundreds of vic tims were carved by the guillotine and tbe people rose against the aristocra cy, was born tbe bymu of France. composed by liouget de I'lsle. He was an officer of euglueers and at a banquet was asked to compose a war song. He.wrote.lt In his room that night before going to bed. aud the next morning bis hostess, tbe wife of the mayor of Strassburg, tried It on a piano, and lu the afternoon tbe orches tra of the theater played It in the square of Strassburg, where it created much excitement and gathered many volunteers. Rouget called it a song for tbe Army of tbe liulne. but subse quently it was sung by a regiment of volunteers, mostly assassins, who marched out of Marseilles to Paris, where it was appropriated by the cap ital and called the "Hymue des Marsel lals." But Joseph Rouget. the author. died In poverty. Desbler Welch in Harper's Magazine. Westminster Hall. Westminster hall. England's old hall of the king's Justice.
