1t does not take much to make
stir in Europe. When King Oscar H.,
of Sweden. visited the Pope, his kissed
his holiness on both cheeks, instead of
making show OF kissing his signet ring,
and it has caused much comment. Gen.
Grant got through the embarrassment of

you, sir"

ly at her home in New York, was for sew
eral years president of the Woman's Stuff

According to the Pail Mall Ga
zette, the loan of villa to the Queen of
England is no simple matter. In Her
Majesty's recent visit to Florence, seven
ty-two people in her train had to be pro-
vided for, including two Indian poten-
tates, who had separate kitchens, as they
were unable to eat with Europeans. Not
only was telegraph laid to the house,
but telephones were required for every
room. In the process Of kno cking holes for
the telephones, portions of several beau
tiful ceilings were knocked down which
could not be easily repaired.
will Carlton, the poet of the farm
and Preside, was taken by one of the at
tendants at the Vatican to see the Pope's

the gold. silver, and jewels, there are
enough slippers to have shod every Pope
that ever lived, more top-boots than reg

When he visited the societies of which he
had accepted the patronage, he always
appeared in an ordinary military uniform,
the members being requested to do the

costume. The cause of it is that have

Harper's Weekly, shave had boundless
merriment over the lace cuffs of the late
x-Attorney-Genera Brewster. The truth
is that the lace cuffs were not lace at all
When Mr.. Brewster began at the bar he
was poor, and his early years we're marked
by bitter struggles. During this trying
period he received from his mother some
shirts finished in the old-fsshioned style,
with frilled bands for cuffs, his mothers
own handiwork. Later, when death cost
him the loss of this best friend, he deter
mined always to continue wearing the
same sort of garment, impslled to the res
olution by a sentiment that had in it the
tenderest love for his devoted mothers
memory. Nor could any amount of rail
lery ever induce him to change this old
time attire"
