Where a King's Clothes Were Kept.
8t. Andrew's-by-the-Wardrobe is a
conspicuous waymark in Queen Vie-
toria street and derives a grotesque
distinguishing title from former prox-
imity to the king's great wardrobe.
This was originally the town mansion
of Sir John Beauchamp and purchased
from his executors by Edward III. for
the keepers of the king's apparel.
“There were kept,” says Fuller, “the
ancient clothes of our English kings
which they wore on great festivals.”
‘Shakespeare in his will left to his fa-
vorite daughter, Susannah, the War-
wickshire doctor's. wife, a house near
the Wardrobe. “wherein one John Rob-
inson dwelleth.” The present Church
of St. Andrew's-by-the-Wardrobe was
rebuilt by Wren after the great fire
and became the city center of the
evangelical revival under William Ro-
maine — Westminster Gazette.
A Challenge Trollope Declined.
The late George Smith, the English
publisher. tells in his reminiscences
how Anthony Trollope when offered
£2,000 for r serial stood out for an-
other £1,000 and finally suggested a
toss for the amount in dispute. “I
asked him if he wished to ruin me and
said that if my banker heard of my
tossing authors for their copyright he
would certainly close my account. We
ultimately came to an agreement on
my terms, which were sufficiently lib-
eral. But 1 felt uncomfortable; 1 felt
mean: 1 had refused a challenge. To
relieve my mind 1 sald: ‘Now, that
is settled. If you will come over the
way to my club, where we can have |
a little room to ourselves for five min-
utes, I will toss you for £1,000 with
pleasure.’ Mr. Trollope did not accept
the offer.”
A Competent Schoo! Official.
There was a quarrel among the
school board men once in an Essex
town. and an official from London was |
sent down to settle it. The official |
gathered the board about him. He
said he would hear the chairman first.
“What, Mr. Chairman,” he began,
“was the cause of this quarrel?”
“Well, ye see, sir,” said the chalir- |
man, “we had an argyment over spell- i
in’, and I wrote—to"'—
“You're a liar!" broke in another
board man. “You can't write!”
Starting a Scrap.
Mrs. Scrappington (in the midst of |
her reading)—Here is an account of a
woman turning on the gas while her
husband was asleep and asphyxiating
him. Mr. Serappington—Very consid- |
erate of her. I'm sure. Some wives |
wake their husbands up and then talk |
them to death.—Puck. i
Not His Fault.
“You pay too little attention to your
personal appearance. Remember that
clothes make the man.”
“Yes, but for me the man says he
won't make any more clothes!’ —Dorf-
barbier.
The Modern Child.
“When you come home from school
bring a pound of sugar with you.”
“Sorry, mother, but our union for-
bids us to carry anything else but our
school satchels.”—Pele Mele.

LISZT AS AN OL
The Great Musician Was Petted
by English Royalty.
A SOUVENIR OF THE MASTER.
The Singular Memento That Was Sa-
credly and Secretly Treasured by a
Cold, Rigid and Rather Disagreeable
Old Englishwoman.
“When 1 was a very small boy in-
! deed,” writes Ford M. Hueffer in Har-
per’s, “when | wore green velveteen
clothes, red stockings and long golden
curls. thus 10 au Vusympe.
thetic world fact of my pre-iia-
phaelite origin, 1 was taken one day
to a very large hall. In front of us
was a wouden plattorm draped all
in red. Upon the platform was a
grand plano.
“In front of me the first row of the
| stalls had been taken away, and in
place of them there had been put three
gilded armchairs, before which was
a table covered with a profusion of
flowers that drooped and trailed to the
ground. Suddenly there was applause
—a considerable amount of applause.
A lady and gentleman were coming
from under the dark entry that led to
.the artists’ room. They were the
Prince and Princess of Wales. There
was no doubt about that even for a
small boy like myself.
“And then there was more applause.
What applause! It volleyed. it rolled
round the ball. All were on their feet.
People climbed on to their chairs,
they waved bands. they waved pro-
grams, they waved hats, they shouted,
for in the dark entrance there had ap-
peared, white and shining. a head
with brown and sphinxlike features
and white and long hair and the eter-
nal wonderful smile.
“They advanced. these three, amid
those tremendous shouts and enthusi-
asm—the two royal personages lead-
ing the master, one holding each hand.
| They approached the gilded armchairs
| immediately in front of me, and the
. prince and princess indicated to the
| master that be
was to sit between
them at the table covered with flowers.
“He made little pantomimes of mod-
, esty, he drew his hands through their
grasp. he walked quickly away from
the armchairs, and because I was just
behind them he suddenly removed me
from my seat and left me standing un-
der all the eves, solitary In the aisle of
the center of the hall, while he sat
down. 1 do not think 1 was frightened
by the eyes, but 1 know I was terribly
frightened by that great brown, aqui-
line face, with the piercing glance and
the mirthless, distant, inscrutable
smile.
“And immediately just beside me
there began what appeared to be a
gentle and courtly wrestling match. A
gentleman of the royal suit approach-
ed the master. He refused to move.
The prince approached the master. He
sat indomitably still. Then the prin-
cess came and, taking him by the hand.
drew him almost by force out of my
stall, for it was my stall, after all.
“And when he was once upon his
feet. as if to clinch the matter, she sud.
' denly sat down in it herself, and with
a sudden touch of good feeling she
took me by the hand—the small soli-
tary boy with the golden curls and the
red stockings—and sat me upon her
lap. 1. alas, have no trace of the date
on which I sat in a queen's lap, fort
was all so very long ago: the king is
dead. the master is long since dead,
the hall itself is pulled down and bas
utterly disappeared.
“] had a distant relative—oddly
enough an English one, not a Ger-
man—who married an official of the
court of Weimar and became a lady in
| waiting on the grand duchess. As far
as | know, there was nothing singu-
larly sentimental about this lady.
When 1 knew her she was cold. rigid
and rather disagreeable. She had al-
ways about her a peculiar and disa-
| greeable odor, and when she died a
few years ago it was discovered that
| she wore round her neck a sachet, and
in this sachet was a half smoked cigar.
“This was a relic of Franz Liszt. He
had begun to smoke it many years be-
fore at a dinner which she had given,
and, be having put it down unfinished.
she had at once seized upon it and had
worn it upon her person ever since.
This sounds inexplicable and incredi-
| ble, but there it is.”
Settling a Bill.
When Andrew Jackson lived at
be once attended
court at Rockford, then the county
seat of Surry, and left without paying
his bill, which was duly charged up
the hotel register,
ledger at that time, and so stood for
many years. When the news of the
victory of the Sth of January, 1815,
was received in this then remote sec-
tion the old landlord turned back the
“Oh, yes, 1 have, the little
replied. “You are the celebrated
drunkard.” —London Graphic.
Not by years, but by disposition, is
wisdom acquired.—Plautus.
The Mandarin's Robe.
The author of “Recollections of a
Society Clairvoyant” tells of the case
of a lady who was haunted by reason
of a garment she wore. It was a
mandarin’s robe from China, stated to
be part of the loot from the sack of
Peking. The owner, who lived in a
flat in a London suburb, first began
to be alarmed by “a smell of decom-
position in her bedroom” and heard
“stealthy footsteps paddling along the
tiny passage in and out of the sit-
ting room.” She changed her house,
but the obsession continued. The
dreadful smell recurred, her cats died
in great agony from some unknown
cause, and uncanny footsteps were
heard at night. According to the
clairvoyant's diagnosis, the robe had
belonged to “a man who had woras it
when he engaged in the mystic forms
of ceremonial magic known to the
Chinese. He had wet with a violent
death. and certain malignant forces
were still imprisoned in his robe,
which. from the bloodstains on it, he
must have been wearing when he was
killed.” The curse was eventually
dispelled by the robe being burned.
Ruskin and the Champion Bore.
One of the principal clubs in Pall
Mall has the misfortune to be fre-
quented by a gentleman who is by
common consent the greatest bore and
buttonholer in London. Some years
ago this good man, on his return from
his autumn holiday, was telling all
his acquaintances at the club that he
had been occupying a house at the
Jakes not far from Mr. Ruskin, who,
he added, was in a very melancholy
state.
“I am truly sorry for that,” said one
of his hearers. “What is the matter
with him?’
“well,” replied the buttonholer, “I
was walking one day in the lane which
separated Ruskin's house from mine,
and 1 saw him coming down the lane
toward me. The moment he caught
sight of me he darted into a wood
which was close by and hid behind a
tree till I had passed. Oh, very sad
indeed!"—From “Collections and Rec-
ollections.”
Clean Your Glasses.
The most scientifically fitted glasses
in the world will do more harm than
| good unless they are properly kept and
correctly worn. It is a strong state-
ment to make, but most people wear
dirty glasses, even those who are fas-
tidiously careful in all other respects.
Peering through any clouded and un-
certain window is a strain upon the
vision. How much more must the
strain be when the window is so close
to the eye that it is almost a part of it!
Glasses must be worn at the exact
angle for which they were prescribed
and no other. For this reason many
people and all children do better in
spectacles than in eyeglasses, The
glasses should be fitted to the eye by
the optician, after which care should
be taken not to handle and loosen the
frame. If this occurs in the slightest
degree they should again be fitted and
tightened.—Youth's Companion.
Meteoric Showers.
How many know that the earth is
getting larger each year from the fall
of meteoric matter on its surface and
that such matter is of no small
weight? One hundred tons a day is
the estimate made by Young. This,
he says, would make a layer one inch
thick over the entire earth in 1,000,
000,000 years if we assume this me-
teoric matter to be three times as
heavy as water. But another effect
has to take place at the same time.
As the earth is getting larger the force
of gravity gets larger, and we are be-
ing attracted with more force toward
the sun. But the centrifugal force
keeping us away from the sun gets
much greater, too. and, in fact. more
so than the sun's gravity, the result
being that we are gradually Increas-
ing our distance from the glowing orb.
—New York Tribune.
Byron In an Ugly Mood.
1 have not yet read Byron's “Con-
versations,” but there was an anecdote
in one of the extracts which confirms
what I heard long since. but which I
could not depend on before. He had
an aversion to see women eat. Colo-
nel — was at Byron's house in Plcca-
dilly. Lady Byron in the room, and
luncheon was brought in—veal cutlets,
ete. She began eating. Byron turned
around in disgust and said, “Gorman-
dizing beast!" and, taking up the tray,
threw the whole luncheon into the hall.
Lady Byron cried and left the room.—
