UNKNOWN INSULTS.
Persons Must Be Careful When In For

eign Country.
Recently complaint was received
by the authorities through the Chinese
Legation that the gentleman represent
ing Her Majesty in China had been
guilty of conduct unbecoming an am
bassador and a gentleman; that he
had insulted the Chinese cabinet, says
writer in Tid-Bits. Investigation,
however, showed that the only conduct
of which he had been guilty was
humping the table at which he was
sitting to empasize a remark. OF
course no notice was taken of the af-
fair but all the same, the diplomatists
of China were offended, for in that
country it is an insult to the assembled
company to thump the table.
1t only shows how careful one should
be in a foreign country. In England,
if friend is visiting another, and
stays to dinner, he may ask for the
loan of hairbrush without giving Of
fence; but in Hungary he may not.
To attempt to borrow that useful arli-
Gle is one of the greatest insults which
can be offered to Hungarian, and one
which will in most cases cause duel.
In France there are several insults
which the unwary foreigner may offer
without knowing it. For example.
he may be visiting friend, and may
put his hat upon the bed. This is a
grievous form of insult, but why it is
not known; it is very ancient one,
and so, probably, results from an old
superstition.
Again, there are two ways of pour
ing out wine in France, as everywhere
else. One of these is to hold the hot
tie so that while pouring the thumb is
facing the tableclOth. The second
way is to hold the hand reversed
that is, with the knurkles downward
and this is great insult to the assem-.
bled guests and the host-a far greater
insult than drinking health in water,
and that is pretty serious in France.
Germany has some curious forms of
insult. TO begin with, to offer rose,
or any other flower, without any green
or leaves with it to lady, is to deep
ly insult her, though why this should
be so is not known precisely.
The German students are formed
into corps, some of which are fighting
corps, and others not. Each corps has
its distinctive cap, and when a mem
Der of one meets another in the street
it is etiquette for each TO doff his cap.
Should the other not respond, a COM
plant is made to his corps, and duel
is fought-a real duel, with sabres or
pistols, not the fencing duel which is
pastime in Germany, just as foiling or
single-stick is in England, for the
insult is nearly the worst than can be
offered.
There is one worse, and that is spill
ing or ficking beer over another STU
dent purposely. No apology will wipe
out this offence nothing will except a
duel to the death, or duel which is
continued until one of the combatants
is too badly wounded to continue the
fight. A minor insult is to refuse to
drink with a student if invited, or to
refuse to respond with "Prosit" when
he raises his glass and says, 'Ich Kom.
me vor ;" but this is more breach Of
good manners than an actual insult.
We might finish with two Spanish
examples of curious insults in South
America. The first of these is to re-
fuse to smoke a cigarette which an

The butter market has ruled very steady
at this point during the past week, and there
has been a sufficient demand for all receipts
at good prices. This is true, ALSO in con-
nection with cheese, especially for fine goods,
for which there is an increased demand.
The market for eggs has been especially
active, though the opinion exists among deal
ers that they should be lower. They are

that fresh eggs are in excellent demand at

the ruling price in st. Paul was SK@9c.
Generally, eggs are about INC higher than a
year ago.
The potato market has been particularly
active, and as e produce dealer remarked,
very much in favor of the fellow that

within week Of from &c to SO all along the

demand. There are large orders in the St.

delphia, Baltimore and other seaboard cities,
as well as from inland points In Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Georgia and other Southern
points. The mild weather admitted of freer

pected that after the good supply during
the winter months there would be the usual
spring surplus. Meanwhile stocks were al

they have most feared was that the
