Bat the fact is really tho revere©, far if read appreciatively “Marlbrouck” expresses the wide spread terror occasioned by the mere home of Blenheim's hero, and the ex ultation the French when they heard ofc his death. Tho “com plaint© 7 ’ is supposed to have come from the Walloon country, and it l was unknown in the French capital until fifty years after Marlborough’s death, when a Picardy peasant wom an, coming up to Versailles to nurse - the Wxby dauphin, brought it wit^ her and sang Ivor little baby charge Id sleep with the old jingling rhyme. From this “Morlbrouck” became popular in Paris, and ultimately ii reached these shores. The tunc being a catchy one, wo discoixled tho French words and wedded it once and for all to our Bacchanalian chant of “For he’s a jolly good fellow,” and so a song written in savage ridi cule of England and one of her great est generals became one of the most popular airs to which the latter’s countrymen pledge jovial cups.— London Notes and Queries. A t^iughnble Mistake. In a certain village not many miles from Boston a good story is told, in which a prominent society lady, a neighbor, several young men and an “innocent and unprotected’* cow were tho prominent features. The society woman, who was about to close her house for a season, owned a fine piano which she disliked to leave in a damp house for so long a time, and consequently offered to kan it to her neighbor. The latter gladly acr*!>tod the offer; and ar rangements wore made to remove the instrument *. —-*~- In order to do this K was necessary to secure the loan of another neigh bor's horse and wagon. Tho request was made and as quickly granted. A coll was made fur the horse one evening, but being familiar a ith the stable the offer of a lantern was do dined The animal was backed out of the stall, the limiter taken off and* then name the job of adjusting the MAh At this peta; tks proceedings were njWjrtoUmn.yiol by a loud ami jito- An attempt was tstag made U> bar ness (he family cow.

Tho election ceremonies to the Bknll and Bones, Scroll and Key, and Wolfe Head societies of Yalo university' are very impressive. * Tlio members of the junior class on the afternoon of this day gather in little knots in front of one of tho big buildings which are used by the scholars as sleeping rooms. Tho win dows of every other commands a view of tho expectant stu dents on the campus below are crowded with other scholars and their friends. Suddenly a solemn looking young man comes around a corner of one of the dor mitories. Ho goes straight toward the waiting crowd without a word to any one. Ho walks in among the fellows, many of whom are his friends, without noticing anybody. Every other student stands perfectly still, and without turn ing lifts head follows with his eyes the movements of the mysterious looking fellow who has recently appeared and who is going np and down, up and down, in and out, in and out among tho crowd, looking at nobody, spoaking to no one, apparently seeing nothing. Then ho goes around in a circle. All hold their breath. Tho people in the windows on every side lean a little farther out and watch with increased interest. It is a moment of intense suspense! All of a sudden the quiet man, on whom every body's eyes are fastened, slaps a fellow student right between the shoulders and almost knocks him over. Then a groat shout goes Up! The students on \ho campus are yelling them selves hoarse. The crowded windows ore alive with frantic men and women who are waving handkerchiefs and hats, clapping hands and laughing, each add ing something to the terrible uproar. Meanwhile the student who was slapped on the back is the happiest man in the immense crowd, for he has been elected a member of Bknll and Bones, the fa* mens secret society of the university. • The first thing the fortunate student does when he realizes that be has been slapped U to go straight to his room, with out a word to his most intimate chum, or even to the man who has so rudely •track 1dm. He Is followed by the man who did the slapping, and who all this time has not even so tnneb aa smiled or said “Uftmo" to any one—hi fact has not recognised the man he is following except by the slap. Nobody knows, except these two, what takes place in the room, and the men are not aeon again that day, for the in terest of the people outside t> centered on another man who has come from the same direction at the first one, and who is going through exactly the same per formances that the first fellow executed. When be finally slaps a man, another greet about goes up, and then theee tww students go away to the room of the one whose bock line been sleppod. Three •cooes srv repeated uetU forty-five men have been slapped, for that Is the num ber composing the three societies. Each society is mode np of fifteen men, no mure and no leeo, and each member Is •eld to choose one student. When the forty-five hare been selected the elections are over and the people go home feeling that they have witnessed on event more interesting and more ex- riting than the graduating exercises whit h Inks place when a whole rises ore about to leave the school. Nothing more la done to the students who have lwen elappvd until the next Tuesday. What occurs then ftj seen by nobody except s few of the stndenta who gather in frent of the secret society houses.* 71m names even of the societies are not known. They ore colled Skull and lit sics, Scroll and Key, and Wolfa Head, because each membrir wears a little gold pin. with one or another of theee objects on it aa the case mar be. The Bknll and Donee pin if a horrid bit of gtdd in the shape of a bntuaq skull and rruesbuoea. Tho Scroll and Key, as the name implies, is made np of a ■mall sheet of gold, like an ancient piece of paper. On the scroll is a key, above the key are the letters “C. B. P." ami below the key are the letters “C. C. J." What they stand for only the wearers of the pins know. The other society lias for Its pin g lit tle gold head of a savage looking Wolf. Often the eyes are made of two brightly shining diamonds. Another wonderful thing about these pins is that the wearer never m one. He never lays it down even for a second* Of conrae they Lave to bathe, aud bow* do you so suppose they do then? You would think they would have to lay the pin aaide at that time anyway, wouldn’t yon? But they don't; they hold thelnt of gold in their mouths! “Bones” is the oldest of the three so cieties. Tradition has it that the pins first appeared iu 1832. About ten years later men who had expected an election to “Bones" and were disappointed or ganized the Scroll and Key. Wolfs Head was founded less than ten years ago, but today is almost as exclusive in its ineml>ership as either of tho others. In fact it generally represents as much wealth among its members as the two ether societies combined.—New York Herald. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla.
