.,fl'ME SWEET ' {OME„,
ine'dei That Happened at the
Front,
��rly a hundred Fears since
.;, - at. Home" was written,
pep ulari`y is still warl.l-wide,
le h. -never The English language is
1 -:: it is known audit loved be-
e: e it appeals to that deep -lying
astinet in humanity which is the
ria "'f human life. The anther was
:_ Payne (1792-1832), actor and
F ht.. He was a native of New
.,e k. bet from 1513 to 1832 he re-
el in London. Throughout his life
ria n = had a de eo affection for his
:tative lend, his friends and fr.mily.
letters frequently allude to his
e':'-^; for the society of those he
:coved, and his appr.Pration of home
and do_e:tic life, For most of his
days he was ^ ^ranger in a strange
land, and it :...: not till thirty years
after his death at Tunis that his re-
mains were buried "at home."
A Scottish minister was recently
speaking at a gathering on '`The love
of home," when he related an inci-
dent that happened at the Front
which brings the idea of home very
forcibly to' one. a menti rel ti�t,
in a letter recelvid frcild Fr' Ea'' the
writer stated that a number of offi-
cers belonging to a Scottish regiment,
when in their billets behind the fir
Ing line, had invited, amongst others,
an Australian officer to have dinner
with them. The party wore on, and
they were sitting round a wood fire,
with candles as the Blnminant, when
the Australian officer remarked:
"Would you Scotsmen Iike to know
why we have come all the way from
Australia to fight along with you?"
Naturally, the Scots answered that
they would like to know. The Aus-
tralian, who was a mandolin player,.
and had brought his instrument with
him in order to entertain the party,
remarked: "Then I will tell you how
it is." Stepping forward, he blew out
the lighted candles one after the oth-
er until nothing lighted the room but
the wood fire. The Australian then
sat down in a shaded corner, picked
up his mandolin, and played "Home,
Sweet Home." The Incident ,greatly
touched the officers.
Seats of the Mighty.
The American who shook hands
with the effigy of a royal princess at
Madame Tussaud's the other day and
found the wax hand Sonne away in his
own is an example 3f the unconquer-
able "boyishness" of his nation, says
London Answers. There is the same
"small boy" touch in the boast of an-
other transatlantic visitor that he en-
tered Buckingham Palace, wandered
about at will, and obtained glimpses
of the private apartments.
It was "bad form," certainly—but
it is not only Americans who like to
peep -at the "seats of the mighty," or
even to sit in them. The latter
temptation once proved too strong
for a workman, who, during repair
work at the palace, sat down at the
royal writing -desk, and started to
write on "Buckingham Palace" note-
paper.
He was discovered by King Ed-
ward, who took up the unfinished
sheet and read: "Dear Mother,—
Please note change of address—"
But no one in modern times has
been quite so irreverent as the eigh-
teenth century schoolboys who cut
their initials all over the Coronation
Chair in Westminster Abbey.
The Order of the Bath.
The first of the English orders of
knighthood is the Order of the Bath,
which is supposed to date to the per-
iod of the ancient Franks, and to
have been introduced into England
by the Saxons. The order as at pres-
ent constituted was instituted by
George I., who revived it 198 years
ago, May25,1,
.725 and fixed the
number of knights at thirty-seven. In
1815 the Prince Regent, afterward
3 eg and e w
George Ty:, greatly increased the
membership, and on. May.26, 18.7,
new statutes were decreed, by which
the order, hitherto exclusively mili-
tary, was opened to civilians.
The Order of the Bath gained its
name from the fact that the ancient
Franks and Saxons made bathing an
important part of ,the rites connected
with the creation of knights. The
order was not formally constituted
until 1339.
Bad Bird's Broadcast.
Wireless listeners in Australia got
a shock recently when they turned in
to hear "the greatest talking parrot
in Australia," which had been an-
nounced as a novelty. The broad-
casting officials had not inquired too
carefully into the bird's training, and
listeners were startled to hear a
string of violent oaths.
ThePowner, who was in the stu-
dio, grabbed the bird by the throat.
and held it until it seemed to have
quietened down. Then he released
it for another effort, but the bird
swore even more volubly.
The officials closed down the item
and apologized to the listeners for the
bird's bad behaviour.
Handy Boys at Eton.
Writing desks and boots are among
the usefularticles turned out by the
toys at Etonin'the school workshops.
A short time ago they made a motor-
car which has been driven to Edin-
burgh.
There was not time to paint the
ear before the holidays, and so it was
put on the road unpainted. Some of
the boys have almost completed a
hydroplane, in which they hope to
cross to Ireland.
