Made National Anthem
When the ameer of Afghanistan vis

title of "his majesty." instead of "his
highness." as previously. The foreign
department *jf the Indian government
was much exercised over the question
whether it would be right that lie
should be greeted with the strains of
"God Save the King." the Afghans
having no national anthem. The dif
Acuity was referred to the commander
in chief. "What does it matter?" l.ord
Kitchener Is said to have replied.
"Play a bar of music. Who'll know
the difference?" It was felt that a
single bar of music was a meager
dish to set before a king, but the Idea
was adopted, and, whenever guards of
honor presented arms, the hand played
'he first eight bars of the slow march
from ■ Scipio." And now the Indian
' wsnapers are all praising the b- auty

\ legend says this singular ritual
originated at the time of the siege of
Seville by some boys going out to Al

Moorish army, which they so delight
ed I hat they were able to detain them
while the Spaniards manned the walls;
but really the origin of this "dancing''
is quite obscure.
Another interesting legend relates
that a certain archbishop of Seville
about 200 years ago wished to sup
press this ritual, but the citizens, to
gether with the canons, gave such op
position that there was qufte a tu
mult, and the matter was referred to
Rome. The pope of that time wish
ing to see the dance, the choristers
were taken to the Eternal City, where
they performed before the head of
Christendom, who merely laughed, but
to please the archbishop and at the
same time to appease the canons he
said the dancing might continue until

The other legends are connected
with the Jews of Totedo, who formed
i th only community of medieval
Europe that was not confined to a
Ghetto, with all its persecuting regu
lations. One of the reasons given for
this is that at the time of the cruci
fixion, or a little before, the Sanhe
drin of Jerusalem sent around to all
the Jewish colonies asking whether
or not the Christ was the long exped
ed Messiah, and the Jews of thia city

Another legend says the cause of
this singular circumstance was that

ter proved that before the crucifixion
their ancestors were living in Toledo
and so they were guiltless of that
crime.

source of the knocks.
In a moment there was a transfer;
and Mr. Cleveland came back to his
desk, introduced his small daughter,
and, opening a lower drawer on the
left side of the historic desk, took
from it a handful of toys for the baby
to play with. The friend who made
the visit said that the scene was only
paralleled in his mind by the well

Our 8hlrt Fronts.
Why do we wear our shirt bosoms
exposed.' may seem an unnecessary
question, but the answer is found in
a queer bit of history. Nowadays the
white shirt bosom la worn by people
of all classes and stations in life, but
only a hundred years ago the white
shirt bosom, with the starched ruf
fles, which took the place of collar
and cuffs, was the outward and visible
sign of wealth and gentility. Linen
was very expensive, cotton had not
come into general use, and the Inner
garments of most men were made of
wool.
Linen, therefore, was the emblem
of wealth; the man who could afford
a linen shirt was generally so proud
of it that the tailors gave him an
opportunity of displaying It to the best
advantage. All gentlemen's coats
were adaptations of the military uni
form, and at first were tightly but
toned from throat to waist, with high
standing collars that came up to the
ears. The men who fashioned the
clothes of our great-grandfathers
turned down the collars, rolled back
the lapels and gave the old gentlemen
an opportunity to show that they wore
linen instead of woolen shirts, and
so we, however poor we may be, ex
hibit our shirt fronts because our au
cestors gloried in their linen.
