1gsls that it became white through be-

vito sought the sweetest flower to lay
IN the hands of their dead. A prettier
g0nceit declares that all roses were
white until one day young Cupid
dancing among them, upset in his mer-
~ sport a glass of WINE which dyed
the roses upon which it fell red, its own

q holy little maid of Bethlehem who
WAS doomed to death. When the stakes
we're heaped around her the fire would

Been flaming turned to red roses and

Elaborate classification of Rank
That Rules In Denmark.

hUleS DenmaFk.
The Danish classification of rank is
a very elaborate one, built up Nof Of
fees, orders, birth and titles, writes j.
Brochner in Danish Life In Town and
Country" There are nine classes,
which are divided into as many as a
dozen subsections, each of which may
again comprise a score or two Of diff
ferent titles and offices, yet there was a
complaint in one of the Danish papers
the other day that it was anything but
complete.
Holders of titles have to pay an an
nual tax ranging from $44.5O in the
first class to miserly 1888 in the
ninth. There are about score of diff
ferent titles, several of which are again
divided into real and "others," the
''real' being several shades better than
the Others"
These titles are always used in con-
versation, as, for example, 'Will not
the chamberlain have a cigar?" or
"Mr. Chamberlain, will you not have
a cigar?'' And it requires a fairly
clear head and good memory to give
everybody his due in a large party,
especially as some Of them are deco
rously long, as, for instance, geheime-
conferentsraad.
Then there are ladies, who generally
have 'sinde" fhe English "ess'o added
to their husbands title or Office. A
colonePs wife, for instance, is called
oberstinde, and the wife of the cham
berlain to the king kammerherreinde,
and so forth.
But the subtleties of the additional
titular address in writing even excel
the verbal form. That persons of the
first rank are 'excellencies" is only
natural, but gentlemen of the second
class have on documents addressed to
them "high we'll born preffxed to
their title and name, and those of the
third class ''high and we'll born" /
much regret that cannot explain why
the addition Of this "and" should
somewhat detract from the value of
the same words.
Gentlemen of the ninth class are adj
dressed as ''well honorable and we'll
Bred" which is, think, almost more
than they could expect for their So. 33.
