lday, Decoration Day.

The funeral the royal corpse holds q
sort of Ievee or reception when all
the great dignitaries of the realm
and members of the court pass
one by one before the august dead
bowling low and kissing the cold and
clammy hand of the cadaver. It was
ceremony that was not even omitted in
the case of poor Crown Prince Rudolph of
Austria. although the crushing in of the
top of his skull and of the left side of his
head by those who took part in the ter.
rible tragedy at Meyerling necessitated
the use of the utmost skill on the part of
the physicians and embalmers to conceal
from the public the traces of the injuries
which he had sustained. The reluctance
OF the reigning families to omit this
species OF post-mortem reception is be-
cause its absence invariably gives rise to
the most extraordinary rumors and re-
ports, the late King John of Saxony and
Gar Alexander l of Russia having been
asserted to have survived their official OBJ
sequies for many years owing to their not
having lain in state.
At certain courts (notably at that of
France in the days of the Bourbon kingsl
dinner was laid for the iIlustrious dead
every night and announced in the custom
ary manner by the grand master of cere-
monies to the corpse as it lay in state, and
in the following words: ''Sire, the dinner
Is served according to your Maissty's Or
ders." The officer standing on duty beside
the bier would respond, "His Majesty has
been graciously pleased to dine already
and desires to remain undisturbed."
whereupon the master of ceremonies
backs out with three low obeisances to the
dead and orders the meal to be taken
away. This continues every day until the
final obsequies. Much the same grewsome
pantomime was enacted at the time of the
death at Formosa of the Japanese Inn
perial Prince and Field Marshal Kitashi-
rakawa, so well known in this country.
Japanese court etiquette requires that no
official information of the death of
member of the reigning family shall be
made until after the celebration of certain
mortuary ceremonies in his or her own
palace. The dead Prince was therefore
brought all the way back from Formosa to
Toxic as live man. The general order
announcing his departure to the troops
bore what purported to be his signature.
The man-ofwar that conveyed his corpse
to Japan few no emblems OF mourning as
its masthead. Meals were served in the
cabin where the dead Prince lay, and mill
tary and naval reports were made TO hit
deaf ear every morning and evening just
as if he were alive. On reaching port he
was dissm barked with naval and military
honors and arrayed in uniform of field
marshal was seated in a saloon carriage
on the railroad, his staff taking their
places around him. Arriving at Toxic he
was conveyed not to arse, but to
state coach, seated in which and SUI
rounded by . cavalry escort he was driven
to his palace. Only on the following day
did the Government issue the public and
official announcement of his death.

The ArKonaut Degree.

Last Friday night California Camp, No. d.
Of the Argonauts held special meeting for
the purpose OF initiating sixteen candidates,
all OF whom took t he first degree and two only
took the second degree. This is side degree
OF the Native Sons OF the Golden West and is
one OF the most ella borate OF its kind, the
paIsphernslis for the proper carrying out of
it costing not less than 5000 for a camp of
fifty members. The ritual is based upon mans
desire for gold and the greed for gold is de-
scribed as the chief end of man. The several
charges are illustrative of the dangers that be-
set the one who seeks 10 acquire gold and they
are exceedingly impressive, being full of USE
ful lessons told in refined language The
charges have been prepared with q great deal
OF care. As they were delivered on Friday
night without book in g manner that showed
close study OF them, they created deep i'm
preston on the candidates. some OF whom
were at first inclined to laugh ct the idea of
the ceremony.
The candidates were moved from station to
station by attendants attired in costumes ap-
propriate to the character OF the solemn cere-
mony where they listened TO the words of
wisdom, and at the last station were rewarded
by sweet smile from Lady Croesus, the beau
tiful goddess OF the gold mines of the Golden
State. This formed q tableau which, in its
presentation, was highly dramatic and very
effective
In the carrying out of the second degree
there was considerable sport with the two
blindfolded candidates, who went through
several LeSW 10 Try Ine1I courage In their
search for gold. The tests to which they were
put were OF q good-natured, harmless kind.
but all tending to show the ef1ct of imagina-
tion on different individuals.
This camp, which was Instituted but q short
time since with James j. Jsmison as president
Frank D. Ryan as secretary and James P
Doekery as chief OF ceremonies has already
167 members, and there are many applica.
tions on file. Nearly all the grand officers
have taken the degree and there is not one
who has not spoken favorably of it. At the
meeting on Friday all past grand presiden I.
and the present grand president of the order
were made honorary members of the camp.
