Queer Rules Of Royal Etiquette.
SOLD MEADINc DRUG lsfs -6ot p.-B0TTlE

A number of years ago it was per-
fectly permissible. and. in fact, mat
ter of strict etiquette, for a visitor
who should obtain an audience with
the Sultan of Turkey to bow and
kiss the hand of that Oriental poten-
tate. Anarchists, however, took adj
vantage of the privilege, and on one
memorable occasion treacherous
emissary drove dagger into the
heart of his sovereign. and from that
time forth the privilege has been dis
allowed.
When the Emperor or Empress of
China appears in public, no other
person is allowed to occupy higher
place than they do. Therefore, on
such occasions the shutters of all
buildings are drawn, and the upper
parts of the houses past which the
royal procession is expected to move
are deserted, the inhabitants swarm
ing to the ground floors in order to
show due Difference to their rulers.
When the youthful King of Spain
was twelve years of age he one day
had the misfortune to slip and fall
down flight of the palace steps. The
fall would very probably have been
attended with fatal results had 1t
not been for a servant who extended
a kindly hand and saved his young
master, by breaking the fall. But, by
a stringent rule of Spanish etiquette,
no servant may dare touch the sacred
person of the King, and for this very
grave" offence the servant was at
once dismissed from his position.
BY remarkable law of royal ETH
quette, which has existed for a num-
Der of years past at the Court of Siam,
no person is permitted to sleep in an
apartment situated above that occu-
pied by the King. A deliberate
breach of this rule has on more than
one occasion been punished by death.
Recently, when the King OF Siam
paid a visit to Paris, number of
bedrooms were reserved, directly
above that in which the King was to
have slept, for the dusky followers
Of the royal visitor. The blunder
caused great CONSERVATION among
the fearful courtiers, until the mat
ter was explained to the management
and duly rectified.
