The work and the responsibility incum-

strengthened his tired nervous system by

SOME CURIOUS PRIVILEGES.
PrerOgntives That Belong to Noted
Families in tho Old world.
Philadelphia Bulletin.

Among the most highly priced OF the in
hcritances OF some of the Old families OF
Europe are certain prerogatiyes to which
their owners attach even higher i1e than
they do to their ancestral estates This
is because these prerogatives are destined
TO commemorate some act OF loyalty to
the sovereign or estate service. Lord
Kinsdale, the premier baron of Ireland.
who has Just died at an advanced age. was
not rich, but would have parted with his
last penny rather than give up his right
TO stand before his sovereign with his hat
on. This appears trivial, but in MT diaeyal
days, when etiquette was OF more conse-
qucncc, this signified that the sovereign
considered the person so privileged bis
brother and equal.
Another privilege enjoyed by a British
peer is that of Lord InchiQuin, the only nom
royal person In the united Kingdom who can
use the royal livcries for his servants. This
right was gran nted TO his ancestors by Henry
VIII, rs 4 compensation for the reiGnng
Lord Inchiquin giving up his right to the
southern half of Ireland.
A quaint prerosative is that OF the dukes
of Hijar of Spain, to whose palace is con-
veyed each Epiphany day suit of clothes
which have been worn during the previous
ycarbythe ereiguingsoycrcign Itcameabout
in this way: Hundreds OF years ago king
of Spain lost his way when out hunting
and, knocking at the d Oor of 4 cattle herder's
hovel, was admitted and given food and a
bed and dry clothing. In the morning the
king offered to pay for his entertainment,
but the herder answered: .'You are not n
true Castillian to offer your host money
for his hospitality" The king was so
touched by this answer that he took the
man with him to Madrid and elevated him
to the dignity of duke, bestowins on him
the privilege now enjoyed by his descend
ants.
No one exactly knows the origin OF the
time-honored prerogatiye enjoyed by the
natives of the Spanish village of Esplnosa,
who for centuries have possessed the Curl
Gus monopoly of watching over the slum-
bcrs OF the ruler of Spain. Every night at
IL O'Clock the gates of he royal palace at
Madrid are tremendously closed by a gor-
geousiy apparcied functionary, armed with
an ancient lantern and a huge bundle OF
keys, and escorted by servants, Officers

A Mn stnrd Plaster.

A mustard plaster may be qulchly pre-
pared in the following way: Mix the mustard
in large cup as you would for ordinary
use, only let it be a trifle thicker; spread
1t on piece OF tissue paper. cover with
another piece OF tissue, and apply TO the
skin, covering if with piece OF flannel.
When the plaster has been on as long as
required, rub a little vaseline lightly over
the skin and cover with piece of medica ted
wool, with silk handkerchief over it.
The length of time Il mustard plaster can
be on must be regulated toy the order Of the
doctor, and in some instances by the skin
OF the patient. In some cases it will blister
if on moro than ten minutes, and we have
known persons who could bear one on for
an hour without inconvenience.
