Napoleon Bird Eslablislics a New Bc- cord TIniinping "Doininoes." Nnpoleon Bird, of Stockport, Eng- land, has estiiblistied a record for a non-stop run on the piano. For 48 hours he hammered away at the keys without a .stop. Bui this forly-eiglil hours' flow of melody was not acliieved without phy- sical discomfort, Mr, .Napoleon Binl is nriy-one years old, and his muscles ar« not so limber as tlicy used to be, but -Mrs. .Napoleon Bird sat by his side foi' all the forty-eife'hl hours, and her prcsiince revived hini in moments when h's task appeared monotonous. In the latter stages of this struKjjlc between melody and lime Mr. Napoleon Bird showed si{,'ns of excusable exhaus- tion and |)iirdonable drowsiness. He was rescued from both by gentle show- ers of eau de cologne, which wore spray- ed on him. In »he course of the last day also a barber shaved him to slow music. As the hands of the clock approached iUie hour of ten Ihc enthusiasm of the I audience knew nn bounds, and when the clock stniok and Mr. Nnpolr^n Bird lifted hs hands from the Ueybonrd he was seizi'd and carried in triumph •through the streets to his home. I During the forty-eight hours he per- formed l.SiX) separate compositions, 8C- irompaniod thre conccrLs, and played twice for dancing. A slight swelling 'f Itlie fin;;er-; and cramp in the Ic^s were ;i!ii: only ill-effects of his strenuous ex- ertions. I \ change of pinno become necessary owing to the stiffness of the kors, but n .skillful mantruvre enabled Mr. Bird lo change uistru.ments without losing a note of the song he was playing.

The Zulu war cry, used whenever they lako the fleld by the .South African fool- I bailers now in Loiulori, has puzzled our I newspapers, not one of which seems I able to spell it correctly. The Daily |E\prcss gives it as "IgamiUlio," and the Daily Mail as "Gaminilio." The cry real- ly consisis of two words, and sliould be written "Igama layo." "Igama" is Zulu [or "name," and "layo" is a pos- scssivi> pronoun, meaning,' cither "his" nr "thoir." Ttius the Daily Mail, al- thuugh quite wrung in its nrt'ogi-npliy of the cry, is rit;ht in saying that it meiely means "Tlial is his name." The explanation is that Zulu etiquette docs not allow warriors, when thpy rush in- t;' balt'o, to mention the names of their enemies, but the leaders shout out, "That i.s \\\^ name," pointiug to the victims with their spears. NO TROUBLE, riannery: "Wba! Tint do they charge for a house like yours?' Kinncgan: "Twelve dollars." Klanncry: "My. that's high. Don't ye have throublo gotlin" it together?' Kiimegan: "I'aith, Oi don't, but the agent docs." AN ENGLISH MISEH. John Camden Ncild, whose magnifl- cf;nt bcfiUiist lo Queen Victoria supplied the funds out of which the Prince Con- sort built the present Balmoral Castle, deserves a place among llie great mis- ers and was as remarkable a man as any of I hem. He was educated at Eton and Trinity «;ollege, Cumbridgo, and was a banister at Lincoln's Inn. At the age of 3i his falhrr'.s. death placed him in possession of a fortune of £250,- fOO, and from that moment he became a confirmed mi.sor. Neild lived at 5 Cheyne walk, Chelsea. His big house was so meanly furnished that it did not even boiisl of a bed. Two old women, who did his stoves, and a black cat wcTe his sole companions. When he visited his large estates in the .Mid- lands, which he did frequently, he gen- erally walked, unless he could get a lift for nothing, and he was not even above lakeing a gratuitous scut on a dung cart. .Sonietinics he was compelled by the weather to take a scat on the stage cmicli. And there he would sit oulside, shivering and drippingâ€" for he never wore a greatcoat â€" nn object of commis- eration to his fellow passengers.
