In the Leschetizky and Paderewski numbers the talent alike of the great old teacher in Vienna, and his world-renowned pupil--a fellow pu: pil, by the way, of Miss Mosher show- ok out in the pianiste's exquisite ren- dering of the Leschetizky Parcarolle and in Paderewski's' Cracovinne-Fan- tastique and the Polonaise. Both ' Miss Mosher and Miss Bur: bank have charmed Kingstonians by their brilliant , talent, and interesting personalities, and it is much to be hoped that the Ladies' Musical Club will succeed in bringing these ladies among us again with one of their many fascinating programmes, ' Bret Harte A Jew, H. W. Boynton, author of "Bret Harte," in the McClure-Phillips "'Con- temporary Men of Letters Series,' de- clares that the most minute series of all documents and inquiries among persons, who knew Bret Harte have not enabled him to fix definitely the ru mors of Harte's Jewish ancestry, Cle ment Shorter, editor of the Sphere, takes issue with Mr, Boynton and de- clares there ig no doubt about the matter. He writes to an inquirer : "1 may state that my final 'authority for Bret Harte's Jewish origin is his daughter, Miss Ethel Bret Harte, for whom a fund was recently raised in London. Bret Harte in his family cir cle recalled as a small boy being taken to see the old grandfather, who was a very strict Jew, and never. entirely forgave his son for marrying a Chris- tian." Origin Of The Custom! The origin of the custom of firing a volléy over a soldier's grave is, says Loudon Tit-Bits connected with the ancient belief that evil spirits were kept away from a body by making a great noise, Of this we have an ex- ample in the "passing bell." After the invention of firearms the last sa- Inte became emblematical of the sol- dier's profession--of his having fallen amidst the sounds of battle.

From Farmer's Versailk ere is at Vers Tien an orange tree close upon five hundred years old. This tree, which was taken from Fon- tainbleau to Versailles on the com- plection of the Orangery, was already famous under the title of the Grand Bourbon. According to tradition, the tree had been planted in 1421, a Princess of Navarre, and, a ve ral changes of owners, came into pos- session of Francois 1, by whom it was placed at Fontainebleau. When it reached Versailles the king came to visit, and two German Bourbons were then face to face. The man passed, and even his bones; torn from their tomb at St. Denix and tossed into a trench, have perished; not a pinch "of his dust remains, But the tree lives and blooms and bears fruit--the only Bourbon at.
