NATIONAL HYMNS.
Inspiring Anthems of the Great
States ef Europe
SING THE PRIDE CF COUNTRY.
Patriotic Airs of Austria, Russia,
France, Germany, England and Nor
way—Our Own ''My Country, 'Tis of
The;,".and "Yankee Doodle."
The Austrian national anthem is-one
of the finest in existence. It was com
in !7!»7 l>y that great nation
al composer. Haydn. who is chiefly
known to conci rt goers liy liis magnifi
cent oratorio -Tiie Creation." in which
occurs the splendid and florid chorus,
"The Heavens Are Telling." The an
them was b-sel upon an old national
sons, hut Iluvdn made it a thing of
beauty. Ir w tiio only national an
them cohiji >><•.! hy a musicinn of the
foremost milk.
But the sung which is sung Iu cities
hv civilians is not always, or, indeed,
generally, the c!i.> s ing hy the soldiers
who have to bear the brunt of battle
and siege and march. The battle song
of the Austrian soldier is 'Trill/. Eugen
tier edle Hitter." which tells how the
noble cavalier. Prince Eugene of Sa
voy. laid siege to and captured Bel
grade from tlie Turks In 1717. It ought
to be a v.ood song for the purpose, for
it w is actually written in the trenches
before Belgrade.
Probably the most stately national
anthem is the Russian. Its very title,
"God the All Terrible." seems to strike
a heroic strain. Sung by a great
mass 'if peasant soldiers with simple
fervor- its effect is grand In the ex
treme. Played upon the great organ
in the cathedral at Moscow it sounds
like a prayer. Not only are the words
very poetical, but the tune is forceful
and lianntini:.
hi course the greatest ot' all war
soi-: s pure and simple is unquestion
ably "The .Marseillaise." What mem
ories it las dinging to ils fervidly pa
triotic w irils! It was the song of the
French ivvi'lutioii and did more to
brina d"»n I he dynasty of the Bour
bons than half a dozen army corps.
It was called by the name which stlli
Is' universally applied to it. because

BRINSLEY SHAW.
THAT the best man will.win out li
the end and that fate Is not al
ways as cruel a9 is usually sui)
posed Is brought out in a striking \ra;
by "The Kentucky Gentleman," i
drama which dates back to the timi
when the gentlemen of the south weri
hard drinkers, hard lighters and mas
terful lovers. Warren Kerrigan play:
the role of a southern gambler whi
makes his living by gambling with thi
aristocracy.
Brlnsley Shaw, a direct descendant
of Kicbard Rrinslev Sheridan, authoi
of "The Rivals" and "The School'Vol
ScanCal," was a lawyer before he be
came an actor. fie dually plays th(
villain, but sometimes attempts ro
mantle leads. - ~
ed a few days after thOlr arrival,
when the hated Bastille fell to its
strains. It is now the national an
tliem of republican France.
In Germany, no patriotic song has
been sunjj with such fervor as the fa
mous battle hymn of the Germans,
"Die Wacbt am Ithein" ("The Watch
on the Rhine"). It was written in
1S-J0, but remained practically un
known until the outbreak of the war
with France, when it was sung by ev
ery soldier and every man, woman
and child throughout the German em
pire. "The Watch on the Rhine" was
to Germany at that time what "The
Marseillaise" was to France—a soul
stirring composition which made men
eager to take up arms and tight for
the cause which they thought was
right.
England's national anthem is a Geor
gian product and originally opened
with the words. "God bless great
George, our king." It has b<*en bon-1
ored by Beethoven with seven varia
tions for the piano, ami it is intro
duced into his "Battle Symphony."
On the whole, perhaps, the tune to
which is sung "God Save the King"
has probably the largest circulation of
any tune in the world. Then there is
"Rule. Britannia," which was compos
ed'by Dr. Arne. the English musician,
who wrote several operas. "Rule,
Britannia," was included In the
"Masque of Alfred," a musical farce
produced in 1740.
Just as the Austrian national anthem
is the only one set to music by a great
composer, so the Norwegian anthem is
the only ohb whose words were writ
ten by a real poet. This was Bjorn
stjerne Bjonison. On oue occasion he
was asked when he got the greatest
pleasure out of bis fame as a national
poet. He replied: "It was when a
delegation from the Rights came to
my house in Christiania and smashed
all my windows. Because when they
had doue ail the damage they could
and were starting home again they felt
they ortght to sing something. So they
began to sing. "Yes, We l/ove This
Land of Ours.' They could do nothing
else They were obliged to sing the
song of the man whom they had at
tack etl!"
Singularly enough, the cojintry which
has the l>cst variety of patriotic an
thems is the country which has bad
less warfare than auy other, the Unit
ed Stains of America. Her songs are
tine.
Thi- real national anthem of America
is "My Country. Tin of Thee," and it is
sung to Ihe same tulie as "God Save
the King." But perhaps the real, genu
ine. rock b"ttooi anthem of America.
after nil,* is (lie fJfmous "ianfiee
Doodle." which lias the great advan
tage of being a real marching song,
which not only helps to keep the men's
spirits from flagging, font also helps to
keep tliera in step. A band playing
"Yankee Doodle" would take a regi
ment ten miles farther than any other
tune!—London Tit-Bits.
How, Indeed?
"Luke McLuke says umbrellas will

"How docs that keep a person from

A mere madness—to live like a
wretch that he may die rich.—Burton.
Drophead Disease.
One of the strangest diseases is
known as kubisagari. it is common
in Northern Japan and in a small dis
trict on the Franco Swiss frontier, but
unknown elsewhere. Its symptoms are
a sudden paralysis of certain muscles,
loss of visiou and rertigo. The at
tacks last about ten minutes and con
tinue at intervals from May to Novem
ber, recovery always coming in the
autumn. .Nothing is kuown about its
cause, though Dr. l\ L. Coucbaud de
scribes iu the I'resse Medicate a mi
crobe he found in the cerebro spinal
fluid and the milk of persons suffering
from the disease. The name kubisagari
is Japanese, and means "drophead."
