Rightly Of Court Etiquette.

The court etiquette, observes Lon
don correspondent, has grown more
rigid and inflexible during these months
ofincreasing morbidness. and soon, it is
feared, the queen will be as far removed
from her people as Chinese emperor.
She carries out her willful insistence
upon etiquette in every least detail, and
even when it concerns only her own
children and grandchildren. When the
Princess Louise returned from Canada,
and arrived at Windsor, she was kept
waiting until she had changed her attire
and until the queen had sent word she
was prepared to receive her. It is re-
ported that the princess entered the
drawing room in the evening to await
dinner, dressed in most lovely Grim
hoes to match. The queen happened to
espy the princesses's feet, said: "Do
you know that colored stockings are not
permitted i'll my presence? Go to your
room at once and change your stockings"
And so the poor princess came down to
dinner i'll a crimson velvet dress,
wearing white stockings! No one
of the royal children ever
visits the queen except by special and
formal invitation. Her majesty ap-
points the hour for her own children to
come and for them to go. One can inn
agine the unnaturalness of such house
hold. The Prince Consort was stately,
but he was genial happy, mirth-loving
gentleman. HIS was most attectionate
husband and father, and no royal eti-
quette ever stood in the way of his fine
German heartiness. Since his death his
children have had no parental
companionship, and they are as far re-
moved from the queen as though they
had not been born of her. 1t is we'll
known that the prince of Wales has very
great influence with his mother, and is
personally deeply attached to her. He
was a constant companion of his father;
and he quite remembers how his father
managed the queen in the old days.
The prince is said to be most charming
in his relations to his mother, and is al:
ways upon his most beautiful manners
in her presence. He at times does ap-
proach her with great affection, and
even tenderness of feeling and demon
stration.

How Doctors Advice Killed

vile man to another.

"he's gone"
t'Wl,at did he die Of" inquired the first
spe aker.
Starvation" was the answer.
starvation! Good gracious, the man
was worth $5O,OOo"
II know that; nevertheless he died Of
starvation. II: tell you how it was.
Tones was always funcying there was
something the matter with him; so he
went to doctor one day and had him
sself examined, and the doctor informed
him tlHt he had kidneydisease, and tina I
beside taking medicine, he must diet
aHmseh.. Said the doctor: "You must
avoid all kinds of salt meats, salt fish,
potatoes, and vegetables of
every kind" Jones followed the
advice, but found himself no better.
He went to another doctor, and, after
being examined, was informed that he
must avoid all kinds of fresh meats also.
This did not do him any good, as he
thought, and he went to another doctor,
who highly approved ofthe advice which
had previously been given, and further
warned him against all kinds Of pastry,
likewise, she'll fish, including oysters
and clans. "The best thing for you is a
milk diet" said this doctor; so Jones
lived upon milk. Not feeling himself
any better, he went to another doctor,
who cautioned him to avoid milk above
all things if he wanted to get well. This
reduced Jones to diet of cold water
and fresh air. and, finding himself no
bette. under this regime, he went to an
other doctor. who advised him to be-
ing too much in the air. This last asst ad. ID
vice cut off the last of Jones' articles OF
diet, and he died ofstarvation, as have
told you."- ."-Somerville Journal.

Hannibal Hamlin on Spain.

In u recent conversation with cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
Hannibal Hamlin said ofspain: "spain

mortality among the children in Spain,

look at the Moors, and also found that
sy losing Spain they had lost their civ

He said that the Portuguese were a
superior race to the Spanish in practical
sense, industry and development. The
King of Spain spoke English, but his
wife spoke it better, and at times cor
rected him when he was in an inter-
view with Mr.. Hamlin. He said she
was not pretty, but made an excellent
Impression by her earnestness and gra-

Saved.

There were times during the Sepoy
rebellion in India when men were more
to be dreaded than Wild beasts; but the
following minor incident of that reign
of terror shows how the lives OF two
English sold iers, exposed to both perils,
were strangely saved through the pref
erence of a tiger for native flesh. The
young men had been suddenly captured
on rear-gnard duty by prowling band
of Moslems, and were being marched to
the place of Imprisonment and torture.
At the first nights camp, they were
meditating escape in the vain hope that
their guards would fall asleep
Two hours passed. The fire burned
low, and in spite of the danger of their
situation. were just dropping off to sleep
when there was tremendous roar-a
rush of some great body passing over
them; scream from one Of the natives;
yell Of terror from the rest.
A tiger stood with one OF the guards
giving him an occasional shake, as q cat
would shake a mouse, while one of its
paws held down the prostrate figure of
the other.
There was wild stampede. Men
tumbled over each other in their efforts
to escape from the terrible presence
and then, getting to their feet, started
off at full speed. For a moment the
English soldiers had lain paralyzed by
the sudden advent OF the terrible man.
eater, and then had like the rest dartcd
away.
"To the jungle!" Ned exclaimed; and
in an instant they plunged into the un-
dergrowth, and were forcing their way
at full speed through it.
Man-eatlDg tigers are rarely found in
pairs, and there was little fear that an-
other was lurking in the wood; and even
had such been the case, they would
have preferred death in that form, to
being murdered In cold blood by the
enemy.
Presently they struck on track lead
ing through the wood, and followed it,
until in five minutes they emerged on
the other side. AS they did so they
heard a report of firearms in the direc-
ton of their last halting place, and
guessed that the peasants were firing at
hazard in hopes Of frightening the tiger
into dropping its prey. AS to their own
flight, it was probable that so far their
enemies had not thought OF IT.
The first object Of the fugitives was 10
get as far as possible from their captors,
who would at dav-break be sure to orr
ganize regular hunt for them, and ac-
cordingly they ran straight ahead until
in three quarters of an hour they came
into wide road.
Towards morning they spied large,
fortified house, evidently the abode of
some person of consequence. and de-
termined to climb the garden wall, and
risk the chances of finding shelter and
and protection. The house fortunately
