 Henry VII of England, and daughter of Henry 

 Grey, afterwards duke of Suffolk. At the age of

 who died in 1553. 

 on his deathbed 

 settled upon 

 Lady Jane Grey 

 the succession to 

 the crown. He 

 was influenced to 

 do this by the 

 persuasions of" Cumberland that, if the crown 

 should descend to Mary, the work of the 

 Reformation would be undone and the liber- 

 ties of the kingdom would be endangered. The 

 news was received by Lady Jane with unwel- 

 come surprise, as it was by the people later, and 

 it was long before she could be induced to ac- 

 cept the dignity. Edward died on July 6, and 

 the news of his death was kept secret for four 

 days, until after Lady Jane had been pro- 

 claimed queen. However, within less than two 

 weeks after the proclamation Mary's claims 

 had been recognized, and Lady Jane was im- 

 prisoned in the Tower of London. She and 

 her husband were beheaded the following Feb- 

 ruary, amid universal sympathy and compas- 

 sion. 



GREY 'HOUND, a tall, slenderly-built dog, 

 which hunts by sight, not scent. It is known 

 as the fleetest of dogs, and on level country 

 it can outdistance the horse. There are several 

 varieties, some long-haired, others short-haired, 

 but all are distin- 

 guished by a long, 

 strong muzzle, 

 very 1 o w fore- 

 head, short lips, 

 bright eyes, long, 

 thin logs, small 

 muscles and con- 

 tracted belly. 

 The name does 

 not refer to color, 

 although many are dark grey, but is derived 

 from the Icelandic word grey, meaning dog. 

 The American greyhound was used, especially 

 in the West in earlier days, for hunting jack- 

 rabbits, pronghorn antelopes and coyotes. The

GRIEG, greeg, EDVARD HAGERUP (1843-1907). 

 one of the most universally popular and be- 

 loved of modern composers, through wlio<<- 

 influence Norwegian moods and Norwegian 

 life have pervaded the world of music. Ono 

 critic has called him the "Chopin of the 

 North," and all authorities unite in declaring 

 him one of the most original of the modern 

 geniuses in the musical world. 



Grieg was born at Bergen, Norway, and 

 studied at Leipzig and Copenhagen. He made 

 several triumphant concert tours through Nor- 

 way. Italy, Germany, France and England, 

 but he preferred to devote himself almost 

 entirely to composition, rather than to recitals. 

 His compositions are noted for their brilliant 

 and effective local coloring; his music is filled 

 with the enthusiasm and vigor of Scandinavian 

 life, and many of his themes are drawn from 

 Norwegian folk stories and national airs. 



Although physically an invalid almost his 

 entire life, an exuberant joyousness that ordi- 

 narily comes only with health permeates his 

 works. His gift to posterity consists in 125 

 songs, which but two or three masters have 

 equaled and which his wife inspired and inter- 

 preted. Among his other famous compositions 

 are the Peer tynt Suite, his A Minor for 

 pianoforte and his Sonata for pianoforte and 

 violin in F Major. 



GRIMMS' FAIRY TALES. What joy and 

 entertainment such stories as Hansel and 

 Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, The Goose-Girl. '/'/// 

 Thumb and Snow-White have furnished to 

 boys and girls, who for nearly a century have 

 been reading these fascinating tales collected 

 by two brothers, named Grimm. During the 

 first half of the last century these brothers 

 went out among the country people of tln-ir 

 fatherland, Germany, and collected all the fairy 

 stories they heard. These were stories that 

 had been told by German mothers for years, 

 bur 1 had never been written. The Grimms were 

 grave and learned men whose original wish was 

 to produce books for students, but they made 

 themselves famous forever when they pub- 

 lished the fairy tales which they had collected. 

 The stories, which were written in German, 

 have been translated into all the principal lan- 

 guages of the world, and have made the name 

 of the brothers Grimm as well known in
