Miss Florence St. John learnt her stage laugh – which has done so much to help her in her career – by the merest accident. She had always had the greatest trouble in laughing on the stage, and both she and the manager were somewhat anxious as to how she would laugh "loud and long" in "Madame Favart." On the first night the manager was watching the performance through a hole in one of the wings, and just before the moment for the laugh he, in his excitement, dropped his artificial teeth from his mouth through the hole on the stage. Miss St. John saw the accident, which sent her off into peals of laughter, and next morning all the papers all spoke highly of her entrancing laugh, which she repeated ever after. By the conduct which gained him the V.C., Vice Admiral Sir A. K. Wilson long since proved himself to be a "cool hand" in an emergency. It was when the Naval Brigade were in the fighting at El-Teb that Captain Wilson, as he then was, performed an act of gallantry which Sir Redvers Buller, who was present, declared to be the most courageous thing he had ever witnesses. A gap was made in the British square, and half-a-dozen of the enemy rushed forward to pierce the ranks. Captain Wilson, who advanced alone to meet them, broke his sword in attempting to cut one of them down. Without receding a step he threw aside his broken weapon and tackled his assailants with his fists, flooring each in turn while the square closed up. When he was at Eton it is said that the Duke of Westminster was known as "Jack Sheppard." He was at that time a small, think boy, with a sharp figure and face. He wore his hair somewhat closely cropped, after the French fashion, so that he was the living image of Cruikshank's picture of Jack Sheppard in Ainsworth's famous novel. The late Mr. Val Prinsep's unusual name was the cause of not a few amusing blunders, which no one recalled with such gusto as their victim. Thus, on one occasion, having been invited to a dinner-party at Lady Cowper's in St. James's Square, the artist was asked his name in the usual way, but from the footman's repetition of the question he perceived that it had not been grasped, and said it again very clearly, "Prinsep." Judge of his astonishment, however, when the man proceeded to announce him in stentorian tones as "Prince Hep!" Lord Turnour, the new M.P. for Horsham, is by six years the youngest member of the House of Commons. He is only twenty-one, and Mr. Richard Rigg, member for the Appleby Division of Westmoreland, who entered Parliament in 1900, is twenty-seven. King Edward is largely his own physician, and a happy combination of exercise and self-denial accounts for the preservation of a fine constitution. It is universally admitted that a house without a piano is not completely furnished. Some years ago this was excusable, prices were high and the instalment system was not in vogue. Now, however, Mr. Chas. Brinnie, the well-known pianoforte dealer of High Street, Camden Town, manufactures a thoroughly reliable upright grand piano at the low price of 25 gns., which may be acquired for the small amount of 12/- per month, and in addition keeps the instrument in tune during the period the instalments are being paid, free of charge.
