A MODERN CUSTOM.


european Discussion OF Finger-gImss
Etiquette.
The use Of finger glasses after din
ner is quite a modern innovation in
Germany. introduced from England
Until about 10 years ago glasses were
indeed brought round at dessert at
the very end Of the meal, but this
was for the purpose OF rinsing the
mouth. and a very comical sight II
was indeed to see gentlemen and la
dies In plain dress. or en- grande ten
ue. washing their mouths at a sump-
tuously furnished table-or for the
matter OF that. in any private or pub
lie assembly room-instead of retir-
ing to some private chamber for this
purpose. In Bavaria II often happens
that persons OF talent. but without
much knowledge Of the manners Of
what is called polite society, are in
vIted to dine with royalty. and not
unseldom has the mistake above re-
ferred to been made there. The fol-
lowing little anecdote. however. con
tains the details Of a practical joke
played by a number Of artists on a
colleague still living who had for the
first time received an invitation to
dine with the prince regent at the
Schloss at Munich.
Several masters Of the brush had
received similar Invitations, and as
the painter in question was somewhat
elated and excited by the honor con-
ferred upon him. and at the same
tint singularly nervous and inquiring
as to the way he would be expected
to behave at the royal table, his con.
freres put their heads together and
determined to play a practical joke
upon him. He was accordingly told:
The first time anybody is invited to
dine at court a special drink is handed
round in glass bowls. and the newly
invited guest is expected. according to
strict etiquette. TO take one of these
bowls in his hand and to rise and ex-
claim, 4 drink to the health Of his
royal highness,' and then to quaff the
contents of the bowl at q draught.
make a profound bow toward the
prince regent and SO resume his
seat" The gentleman In question
acted to the letter according to the
instruction given him. To the man
ners Of the court must be attributed
the Suppression Of all suspicion of a
glggle and 1t is stated that the royal
host did not appear in the least dis
concerted, but afterward over the
beer the merriment was unrestricted.

Moy Len, a Chinese laundryman,
died at Kaukauna. Wis. some time
ago. and the other day a fellow China
man came to pay respect to tho mem
ory of the dead. His last ceremony
was the burning of incense. and while
engaged in this rite he managed to set
fire to the dry grass. The spectators.
of whom there were quite number,
set up a somewhat subdued laugh,
which quickly changed to a whoop of
alarm when a Chinese rocket went
whizzing past their ears, having been
set of by the burning grass. Mean
time the solitary mourner promptly
snatched away the other rockets, at
the same time calling loudly for as
sistance. The flames were put out.

It was once usual for Highland shep-
herds to take their dogs into church
and leave them outside the pews. Two
shepherds at enmity sat on opposite
sides of the aisle one Sunday. and
soon after the sermon began, the
dogs-one a collie and the other not
seemed to enter into their masters
quarrel. The shepherds egged on
their dogs in undertones. and soon
there was real fight in progress.
Most of those in the immediate neigh
borhood craned sheir necks over the
pews to see how the encounter was
coming out. and not few were stand
ing up. The minister's patience was
ultimately exhausted, and so ne called
to his hearers and said:
"Ah. weel. my britherin. see ye are

in my sermon and so ri close the

LA PLATA. MARYLAND, JUNE 2l. 1901.



Only a little while ago the Japanesa
people regarded their sovereign as sa.
cred, because he was the direct de-
scendant Of the gods. The Mikado was
considered Just as much the son of
Heaven as is the Chinese Emperor
Since superstitions Of this kind. which
are received by Inheritance and rooted
In the minds Of the common people.
are most difficult to eradicate. IT is
greatly to Japan's credit that she has
thrown of the shackles Of such pra-
historic ideas and practically adopted
In few years the present day atti-
tude OF the west toward royalty. Still
y is natural that the Emperor of ia
pan should still be regarded with the
greatest reverence by his subjects. II
Is only recently that they have been
allowed to see his face. Up to the
time OF the restoration,l in 1868, n he
ever went outside OF his palace
grounds In Kioto he was carried in a
closed cart drawn by a bull. Even the
throne was surrounded by curtains.
TO within a few years ago nobody was
allowed to look out Of the upper win
dow OF a house while the Emperor
passed, because It was not meant that
one OF the Emperor's subjects should
be above his lord. When the japanese
Emperor goes anywhere on the rail-
road on his special train, as a few
months ago. when he Travelled from
Toxic to Kobe to be present at the
naval maneuvers. the way is almost
entirely lined with soldiers. police,
school children. marshalIed by their
teachers, and throngs OF the common
people. Army officers Of all ranks
appear resplendent in their decorations
and II must be said that few Japan
ese of any consequence are without
one or more-and the long ranks Of
spruce-looking soldiers and police
make fine showing. Up to within a
few years ago. when the Emperor's
train was on the road no other trains
were allowed 60 run till It had passed.
1t was considered disrespctful for an
other train to pass the imperial one.
Lately this foolish rule has been done
away with, and trains are supposed 10
run on schedule time Just the same.
AS a matter Of fact, the imperial train
has the right OF way everywhere. and
since the time of its going and COM
ing is arbitrary and may be changed
at any time to suit the caprice of the
sovereign, travel is apt to be preca-
rious when the Emperor Is on the road.
The doing away with many of the alb
surd customs founded on long estab-
lished precedent is due to the Emperor
himself. He it was who first decided
that he would cat with the Empress
and treat her as an equal On many
occasions he has taken pains to show
that his ideas are more democratic
than those of most of his subjects OF
course, precedent still means a great
deal, and always will. for Japan is an
oriental country, and everything that
the Emperor does on all occasions is
cut and dried for him beforehand
