A Telling RebuIxe.

The privilege Of the family Of De
Courcy, barons of Kinsale, to wear
hats in the presence Of the English
kings was we'll established, though not
always exercised. Soon after the ac-
cession Of George III. to the throne the
then Lord Kinsale, who had just come
to his title, was introduced at court
with the usual ceremonies. Whether
from mistake in etiquette or from pride,
instead of just putting on his hat and
Immediately taking it off again, Lord
Kinsale walked about the drawing
room for q considerable time with his
hat on. The courtiers all stared, and
the whole assembly was thrown into
some embarrassment. When the king,
noticing tho circumstance, very polite
ly went up to his lordship and told
him that he believed he was under
some trivial mistake, for, though he
had an undoubted right to wear his
hat before him, yet his lordship ap-
peared to have forgotten that there
were ladies in the room, Lord Kinsale
instantly felt the rebuke, bowed and
took off his hat.

FntaI Etiuuette.

The rigid etiquette of courts has
more than once come near making q
martyr of the person whom the rules
prevented from aiding offhand. In
Spain these notions of etiquette were
carried to such an extent that Philip
III. met his death in direct conse-
quence of them. The king was one
day gravely seated by chimney,
where the fire maker of the court had
kindled so great a quantity of wood
that the monarch was suffocating with
heat. His grandeur would not suffer
him to rise from the chair to call for
help, the officers in waiting were not
within call, and the domestics could
not presume to enter the apartment
because it was against the etiquette.
at last the Marquis de Polatappeared,
and the king ordered him to damp the
fire, but he excused himself, alleging
that he was forbidden by the etiquette
to perform such function, for which
the Duke d. Usseda ought to be called
upon, as it was his business. The duke
was gone out, the fire burned fiercer,
and the king endured it rather than
derogate from his dignity, but his blood
was heated to such degree that cry
sipelas broke out in his head the next
day, which, being succeeded by a vio-
lent fever, carried him off.

ELEVEN THOUSAND KILLED.
Attempt to Hold Port Arthur Cost
Russians That Many Men.

Chefoo, Jan. 2.-Some inter esting
statistics concerning the defense of
Port Arthur were brought here pv the
fotilla of Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers, which carried numerous
chests containing complete reco. is of
Gen. Stoessel's army.
Originally the army numbered 35,.
900. Eleven thousand have been
killed. 10000 are wounded or sick, and
5000 remained in the forts, of whom,
however, 1000 were unable to fight.
II is learned that when Gen. Stocs-
sci wrote to Gen. Nogi regarding to
surrender Of the fortress he said:
81 have 5000 men in the forts and
5000 Of these are able to fight. II you
do not accept my proposal these men
will die fighting, but 1t will cost you
three times their number to kill them"
The number of officers killed was
proportionately greater than in any
battle known in history. This was
Tue to the frequent lethargic condition
Of the men, who, without food and
without sleep, moved only whe. or.
dered by their officers.

sAusAeEs ARE ANCIENT.
They Graced the banquet Boards Of
Greece In Homer's Time.


The origin of sausage is indeed pre-
historic, since, If we are to believe our
Homer. sausages were not unknown to
the heroes of ancient Greece. Besides,
Aristophanes, than whom none has CIV
en- us a more faithful picture of his
own time, makes mention Of the sue
culent sausage as popular and estab-
lished article of Athenian diet.
But il the fastidious Greeks knew
and appreciated it's worth it was Rome
that raised its status to one Of dignity
and Importance and imbued the sau-
sage with true artistic significance.
Has not Juvenal left it ON record as
his unbiased opinion that "the pig is
an animal created for the banquet
from memory that the beast destined
after life to be known and appreciated
as pork is natures good gift to the
gourmet Nay, has not Horace, too,
sung its praises, and Apicius devoted
whole pages to recipes on sausage
making" in his classic cookery book ?
While, lastly, was it not a Roman
piece the Trojan hog lin touching
memory Of the horse so named), which
pig appeared at table whole OF body
(even as the horrible looking hare does
at the present day in this country;
then, while the guests were trying to
digest what had gone before, would be
performed little lieu de theatre
simulated wrath ON the part of the
master of the feast, "Why had the pig
not been carved, by JupiterY A slave
would be sent flying for the cook, and
the cook would come trembling, as one
who opined he'd done with life. Then
indignant reproaches, responded to by
abject apologies, when, hey, presto, the
cook takes the knife, inserts it in the
monumental pig, and out tumble roast
ed birds and tiny sausages galore, and
the delighted guests set to again with
knives and fingers, since forks they
had none.
SO much for the sausage Of classic
antiquity. AS to its present home, the
wurst, or rather the pig, which, after
all, is the embryonic wurst had its
first habitat amid those dark forests
where dwelt the old Germanic war
riors. Clearly, then, it must have been
the Latin race that finding so much
pig fattening about the Teudeburger-

THANKFUL PEOPLE.
They Are Found in Every Part OF
Owosso.

Many citizens Of Owosso have good
reason to be thankful for burdens lifted
from aching backs, which they bore
patiently for years. Scores tell about
their experience publicly. Heresa case
of it:
H. w. Garrison, of No 1871 Shiawas
see street, retired farmer, says: For
many years suffered severely with my
kidneys, the pains at times being
frequently so severe could scarcely
get up or down from chair. The kid
ney secretions were irregular, distre IS
ing and annoying. had also spells OF
dizziness and had to hold on to some
thing to keep from falling.
] saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised
and procuring box at Johnson's drug

few doses. My wife was relieved of
similar trouble by their use, and we
cannot speak in too high praise of this
valuable preparation"

MARRIAGE Inv MEXICO.

Asow the 1srs.u cement and Wedding
Ceremonies are Celebrated.
The Mexican people are hospitable to
fault, always welcoming their friends
even though they have not enough to
eat themseivos And they religiously
visit the sick, including those who
have contagious diseases. They are al
SO addicted 10 public social functions,
the inyariAJle NODE OF entertainment
ielng the dance. They arc fond OF pu-
sic, though not proficient in tie art Of
palling it, probably more from lack Of
opportunity tEan from lack Of capac
ity. The violin and gutter are the usual.
instruments Of Music, the. reHegtory of
the local musicians beng Usually linn
tied to few tunes which are IN equal
demand for the dance and for The fu-
neral.
One Of the most interesting and beau
tiful of the social functions is the prem
dorio. When a young man wishes to
marry he asks for the girl OF his choice
of the parents, not Of the girl herself.
and if she is given the prendorio at
once follows, ushered i'll by shooting
and demonstrations OF joy. The bride
and bridegroom are publicly presented
to their future parents-in-laW, after
which the company pass in procession
b front Of the couple. each one drop
ping Il piece of money into the hands
Of the bride. Then follows the inevita-
bic dance This public betrothal is con-
sidered almost as binding as marriage,
and ] have heard of but one instance
in which the compact was not kept. the
recreant bridegroom in that case being
visited with ostracism. The betrothal
is usually followed by marriage just as
soon as the services of the priest can
be secured. The marriage ceremony is
followed by a feast more notable for
the abundance of things to drink than
for things to eat ana by the usual
dance. Indeed the festivities are often
prolonged for several nights after the
wedding southern Workman.

Her Definition of sin

A little girl was called to court one
day to be a witness. She was so small
that the lawyers thought she might
not know what an oath was. So they

Sisters Of Charity Fell Exhausted OW

London, Jan. 4.-The Daily Mail
Chefoo correspondent says that Rus.
sian officers who arrived there bring
ing descriptions of the conditions ex-
listing in the hospitals at Port Arthur
which they say were worse than those
of the battlefield. They relate how
the sisters Of charity, accustomed as
they are to such ordeals,. sickened I'm.
der those conditions and tainted at
their posts because of lack of nourish-
ment.
"The wretched patients towards the
end complained bitterly of what they
called the heartlessness of the sisters
of charity, who grew so accustomed
to human suffering that they seemed
to lose all sympathy for the victims"
the correspondent adds: Medicine
and doctors were scarce and the
shrieks and groans of the wounded
mingled with the curses and yels OF
men who were undergoing operations
without anaesthetics combined to
make such an inferno that it was a re.
lief to rush from the foul atmosphere
and horrible sights, even if the she'll
torn streets were the only al.erna-
tive"
