Chinese Politeness.

In the matter of social politeness the
Chinese, especially the "literati," have
reason to look down upon the barba-
rians Of the west. Politeness has been
likened generally to an air cushion.
There is nothing in it, but it eases the
jolts wonderfully. AS mere ritual of
technicalities it has perhaps reached its
highest point in China. The multitude

AMUSING THE QUEEN.
How Maids of Honor Are Selected and
Some of Their Duties.

How Maids of Honor Are Selected and
Some of Their Duties.
Maids of honor are chosen by the
queen herself from among the daughters
of peers, who, if not themselves connect
ed with the royal household, are per-
sonal friends of her majesty. A letter is
always sent to the parents of the young
lady requesting that as personal favor
to the queen she may be permitted to
attend at court. AS the position is un-
deniable and the salary is $500 year,
the request is invariably accepted, and
the newly chosen maid receives from
the lord chamberlain the command for
her first "wait. :"
The first thing brought to the maid
of honor is her badge, which is min
iature picture of the queen set in bril-
liants and hung from ribbon. Just
before the dinner hour the maid of hon
or in waiting has to stand in the CORR
dor outside the queens private apart
ments. She carries a bouquet, which on
entering the dining room she lays at the
right hand of the queens plate.
The maid of honor sits at dinner next
to the gentleman on the queens right.
This rule is, however, relaxed when
royal guests arc present. After dinner.
unless otherwise commanded, the maid
of honor retires to her own room, whence
however, she is frequently called to
read, sing, play the piano or take a
hand at cards.
As regards this last the household

Some of the Unimportant Things That WO-

An amusing story Is told Of Robert
Franz, b efamous German song-writer.
and another equally celebrated COM
poser. Tho Incident occurred soon
after the publication Of Franz's famous
open Letter to Edward Hanslick," In
which he made severe criticism upon
some musical work OF the composer
Johannes Brahms Franz had occa-
sion at that time TO take a five or six
hours trip by rail In the compart-
ment with him was n little man with
whom he had fell in conversation The
fellow-trayelers found each other de-
lightful. anc whiled the hours away in
agreeable talk. which did not turn
upon music.
When the train reached Franz's des-
tination he took out his card-case, say
ing to his companion:
"You nave made me pass a most de-
lightful afternoon; allow me to give
you my card"
The stranger seemed highly gratifed.
and offered Franz his card in return.
Each looked at the bit OF pasteboard
he had received in amazement The
strangers eyes opened wide in reading
the name of his merciless critic, "Dr.
Robert Franz" while Franz himself
was equally astounded Mt reading on
the card in his hand, Johannes

There was no time for mutual ex-
plantations, but each Of the musicians
had discovered that however their
ideas might differ from n musical
standpoint, they were at least ad-
