ENGLISH COURT ETIQUETTE.
Some of the Things Which Make a Court
Ball Well Worth Seeing,

Some of the Things Which Make Court
Ball Well Worth Seeing.
Etiquette is the very life and health
of court 1t is observed even in the
arrangements of seats. On each side of
the small low dias, intended exclusively
for royalty, are rows of chairs which, /
was told, were definitely and clearly as
signed, not by law, but by absolute al
though unwritten custom, to the differ
ent orders in the social scale who accept
the Queens invitation. No one but
those prescribed might occupy them.
Thus on one side are Duchesses and
Warehouses;; on the other, Ambassa-
dresses and ladies of the Corps Diplo-
matique. 1t was my good fortune to
witness very pretty and graceful
little ceremony in connection
with these distinctions, when
young and beautiful bride arrived,
who, within the last few months, had
become Duchess. This was her first
appearance as such at court ball, and
she was making her way difiidently to-
ward the position to which her newly
acquired rank entitled her when the
whole of the Duchesses present rose
simultaneously to greet their sister
peeress and to receive her into their
circle.
What makes the court ball so well
worth seeing is the fact that almost
every body in the room has some we'll.
grounded claim to distinction. My own
l will admit, was but reflected lustre
and entered paradise under the wing
of others, like the rest of the debutantes
But these others represented all that is
most notable and prominent in London.
Social rank of all the higher grades was
fully represented, wealth where it was
associated Emeritorious money getting,
distinguished service to the State, and
high professional repute. Nothing
proved this better than the brilliant dis
play of decorations, the constellation of
stars, crosses and medals, all attesting
the presence OF every degree of merit,
and every form of celebrity. Little less
distinguished but from extreme contrast

CT distinction but that of personal merit,
and perhaps, so my father says, think,
more of such baubles than the most aris-

Oscar Peschol, the renowned geo.
grapher, says tho moro familiar we
have become with foreign customs, the
more firmly has it become established
that nudity and modesty are not incom-
patible, and further, that the sense OF
shame in different nations demands that
at ono time one part and another time
another part, of the body shall be COW

toed excite feeling of contempt as
great as we might feel toward those who
recklessly expose nakedness.

I'M the mend
the consumptive who's not be-
reft of Judgment and good sense.
He's taking DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. If taken in
time and given a fair trial, it will
effect care. Consumption is
Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its
myriad forms, and for all Liver,
Blood and Lung diseases, the "Dis-
covery" is an unequalled remedy.
It's the only guaranteed one. If
it doesn't benefit or cure, you get
your money back. You only pay
for the good you get.
"Discovery" strengthens Weak
Lungs, and cures Splitting of Blood,
Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis,
Severe Coughs, and kindred affec-
tons. Don't be fooled into taking
something else, said to be "just as
good" that the dealer may make o
larger profit. There's nothing at
all like the "Discovery." 1t con.
tains no alcohol to inebriate; no
syrup or sugar to derange d.
gestion. As peculiar in its cura-
tive effects as in it's composition.
Equally good for adults or children.

roar and qulckness surprising in so
clumsy an animal, he madea hurricane
rush" at his assailant
For short dash, no horse, however
feet is match for a grizzly bear.
Neither horse nor rider had any inten.
ton of permitting the distance between
them and the bear to be diminished,
and Ebel flung the turn of his lasso
from the saddle pommel as his horse
whirled and ran. But they could not
move swiftly enough to avoid the bear,
which in an instant was upon them,
and sprang with swapping teeth and
extended claws to tear the man from the
saddle.
Barely missing the rider, the animal
caught in his teeth the oil cloth coat or
"slicker" rolled sip in the rear of the
saddle and with the accompanying
clutch of his claws lacerated the horses
haunch.
By great effort the terrified horse,
though half borne down by the shock,
broke loose and dashed away before
the bear could repeat his attack When
Ebel had put safe distance between
himself and his antagonist, he turned
about to inspect the ground, and found
that his companions were not far from
him, They stopped then to coil up
their lariats-which they had not taken
time to do when in the vicinity of the
bear.
The cowboys watched the grizzly.
Satisfied with having put his assailants
to flight, he had not followed them.
With clear field, he was "having Ii
out" with Ebel's rope and "slicker."
The moose had fallen about his neck
and under one shoulder, and his inn
patience would not permit him to take
the necessary steps to throw 1t off. He
bit at it with the effect only to draw =
tighter He rose on his launches and
cuffed at it savagely. His fury was
tremendous. From time to time the
idea seemed to strike him that the
"slicker" was associated with the per-
sistent attentions of the rope, and he
rushed at that inoffensive and tightly
strapped bundle and tore it savagely
with teeth and paws. Then he renewed
his struggle with the lasso.
The "slicker" Jared badly, but the
rope, so far as the witnesses saw, had
altogether the best of the encounter.
The bear finally broke for the rough
ground, and keeping up running
fight with the rope all the way, disap-
peared among the rocks and trees in
the direction of the canon.
The cowboys rode to the scene of the
encounter. The earth was torn up and
the stones displaced over consider
able area. The ''slicker" was in that
state of tatterment," as one of the boys
afterward expressed it, that you
couldn't have got out of it fair-sized
shoe-string." Louis Walkers inward
smile had developed specifically into a
full sized grin. 81 could have told you
before, boys, how 'twould turn out" he
chuckled, but 'twould have spoiled
your fun, and you wouldn't have been
so experienced as you are now"
The bear was not heard of again, but
it may be remarked that thereafter he
ceased to make depredations about the
Montoya mesa. He probably went
back to the mountains. But should he
or any one of his kind reappear about
the mesa it is safe to say that he will
not be disturbed by the attempts of any
one to capture him with a lasso.-

and soon, with swinging lassos, were
advancing in circle upon the bear.
Only one among them showed no en-
thusiasm in this undertaking. Louis
Walker, the veteran ranchma and hun
ter, who had killed all manner of big
game Of the Western mountains and
plains, wore an expression of reserve
and thoughtfulness. He did his part

The Mexican vaqueros of the old days,

And Q smile comes on his features as he hears

And he sings the songs Of long ago with falter-

And pt antoms from the distant past his broken

And trooping from their dusty graves come
long forgotten things,
When he tunes the ancient fiddle and the old
man sings.
We let the broken man play on upon the broken

And We press around to hear him. as he sits

The sound Of many wedding bells In all the

Then We hear their clamor smothered by the

How this Little Rsin-ISirI BefrienIs tho

We have all read many beautiful and
pathetic stories about the devotion Of
friends; but what do you think Of
crocodile for friend?
Some day. II you should 60 to his
home-country, you might perhaps see
what an acquaintance OF mine saw-a
little black-headed plovcr riding about
on the huge upper jaw Of great croco-
die. These two are trusted friends
and comrades, and help each other az
friends should. Indeed, the little plovcr
is indispensable to the saurian giant.
Shall l tell you in what way? am
sure you would never guess. The
crocodile has tho very bad habit
of sleeping with his vast mouth
wide open. Into this horrid cavern
multitudes Of gnats and other little in
sects go exploring, and conclude. 1t
seem, to settle on the waste spaces
represented by the monsters jaws and
palate. These latter are soon covered
with black coating Of gnat and fly
pioneers. The crocodile wakes up and
finds himself woefully uncomfortable.
Now comes tho little fcathered friend
to help him out of his difficulties.
Straight into his big friends mouth no
flies, and proceeds to operate upon tho
patient by means Of his sharp little
beak. by and by the old crocodile's
mouth is all right once more; then little.
