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.
