LANTERNS IN GERMANY,
They Woro Formerly Used as Symbols of
Hank.

they Wcro Formerly Used as Symbols of
Rank.
Tho distinctions Of rank which exist
In European countries give rise to MANY
troubles which. though they may seem
rather amusing as we'll as trivial
to US, arc in reality quito serious to
tho persons concerned in them. In
Stuttgart years ago, says an exchange,
thore existed curious custom which
Is not yet entirely abolished, and, in
fact still fiourishes quito vigorously In
somo parts of Germany and Switzerland.
This was the use of lanterns of different
varieties and sizes, by which. at night,
the rank Of the party could be easily dis
tinguishcd.
Tho lanterns wcro carried by the
servants who were sent to escort thoir
mistrosses homo from places of amuse-
mont, and they made tho square IN
front of tho Royal Opera-IIousc, where
most of the entertainments wero then
given, quito picturesque with their
lights bobbing up and down in evcry
direction.
Tho differences between some of these
lanterns wcrc slight, but they had to DO
strictly observed, or trouble arose. The
order of rank, as set forth in the Crank
list was something from which they
could never swcrve. Some had lanterns
of tin, some of brass; somo had wax
lights, and others tallow; even the num-
bcr of lights was prescribed for each
separate class or rank.
An amusing story is told by Hack
lander of two Stuttgart women, whose
lifelong friendship was nearly de-
stroyed by tho mistake OF one of tho
husbands, who bought at an auction n
lantern which could only DO used with
propricty by people of tho next higher
rank.
The servant polished the offending
lantern, and took it with her tho very
next night when sho went to meet her
mistress at the close Of an operatic en-
tcrtalnmcnt 1t was somo time before
the other woman, whose sense of the
prophecies of life had been outraged,
and who thought her old friend was en-
deavoring to lay claim to rank above
the one in which they both belonged,
could be appcasod. Even after the ex-
PLANTATION. tho subject of tho lantern
was always sore one between them.

The kindness and hospitality of the

the ranches scarcely ever had any fruit.
