GRANDEES OF SPAIN.
Etiquette Of the Hat That Differen.
tiates the Three Ranks.

Etiquette Of the Hat That pifferen.
tiates the Three Ranks.
A grandee Of Spain enjoys the priv
1lege, granted him many hundreds of
years ago, of remaining covered" in
the presence Of his sovereign. This
custom dates from the period when.
according to the theory then held, the
king was 1.-THE first among equals"
The ancient formula always at the
coronation of the kings of old Spain
was: 1--WE, your equals, choose you
to reign over u.s." And the king as-
sented in this declaration Of his mobiles.
There was time when all grandees
of Spain Wore their hats In the pres
ence of the king, but in time the idea
OF caste began to prevail, even among
the grandees, with the result that thev
were eventually divided into three
classes, and these classes were distin.
gutshed by the hat etiquette
The first class entered the royal pres
ence covered; the second class entered
uncovered, and after an advance Of a
few steps, put on their hats, unbidden
by the king, and the third class also
entered uncovered, but did not 'cover'
until requested to do so by the king.
Then, according to the etiquette, "all
Were equal"
There have been grandees who were
not Spaniards-notably the Duke of
Wellington, upon whom the cortes con-
ferred the honor in recognition Of his
services to the state.-Exchange

The Sunday School Lesson
SENIOR BEREAN.

Text OF the Lesson. II Sam xviii.
Golden Text, Eph. vi, l.
Our lesson title Is "Absaloms Fail
ure," but "Absalom's Sin and Over
throw might perhaps have been bet
ter. Chapter xiii tells of the begin
ming of his household troubles and of
the flight Of Absalom and his sojourn
three years in Geshur Chapter xiv
tells Of the plea Of the wise woman of
Tekoa and of Absalom's return to Je-
rusalem and reconciliation with his ia
ther after dwelling two years there
without seeing his face xiv, 2S-33)
Absalom's remarkable beauty is de-
scribed in verses %, 26. The utter
helplessness of the sinner and the great
mercy of God are suggestively mention
ed by the wise woman in verse IA.
Chapter XIV describes AbsalOm's re-
hellion and the plight of the king and
would have been a much more sugges-
tive and helpful chapter than the one
assigned us. David's crossing the XII
dron and going up by Oivet oversees
%, 3O) is SO suggestive of our Lords
doing the same thing because Of the
rebellion of His son Israel GJohn xviii,
y. The notable words Of devotion on
the part of David's servants and of
lttai the Gettite (verses 10, 21) should
be our continual heart words to our
Lord Jesus. See also the devotion of
Hushai, David's friend, in verses 32-37,
and David's submission to the will Of
God in verses %, 2G. Chapter xvi tells
of Shimei's cursing and how David
left him wholly to God. Chapter xvii
describes the suicide Of Ahthophal be-
cause the counsel of Iushai was pre-
ferred to his. 1t also tells Of David's
friends. who SO kindly cared for him
at Mahanaim. Our lesson, chapter
xviii. tells Of the battle between Absa-
lom's army and that Of David and Of
the defeat OF the former and the death
of Absalom. 1t is truly pathetic to
listen to Dayid's instructions t., the
leaders OF his hosts, Deal gently for
my sake with the young man, even
with Absalom" Verse 81, and then to
hear his heartbroken cry when he
learned that !Absalom had been slain:
80 my son. Absalom, my son. my son
Absalom. Would God l had died for
thee. . Absalom. my son, nv son"
Verse 33). See also xix, 4. Does it
not help to make more real the love of
God in giving up His only begotten
Son to die for us: John iii, 16; John

Jack Combs Still Curious

why Connie Mack gave me my un-
conditional release last winter is still
a mystery to me-" says Jack Coombs.
"He treated me so finely during my ILL
ness that l can't quite figure why he
let me- go.
Il wasn't high salaried player, and
1t seems to me that he might have talk
ell NE south with the Athletics this
spring just to find out whether or not
l would have been of any use to him
this season.
"Of course l am not kicking. for
Brooklyn has given me chance to
come back, and l feel that l still have
few more years Of baseball left in
me. l would like to have repaid Con-
ME Mack for his kindness to me when
l was bedridden in the hospital"

Pitchers Haven't Enouoh Work.

Pitchers Haven't Enough Work.
| Pitchers don't work hard enough
says Harry Tuthill, trainer of the De-
troit baseball club and the Army foot.

rious class in the world, he opines.
He says they would do much better
work If forced to pitch twice n week
and play three other days in the out
field. He declares only one days work
Il week makes great pitchers get slow
and heavy.
Then they are not able to perform
In their best manner when called or. :"
he continues. "Some Of the greatest
performances in history are credited to
pitchers who toiled at least every other
day and sometimes had to pitch every
day for long stretches.
When manager gets hold Of good
hitter 1t would do no harm to have him
work III right field, where there is lit
tie to do. Outtielding is not arluous
work as rule. Sometimes an outfield-
er will go through a whole game with
out having to touch the ball with his
hands.
pitchers Of today have a bad habit
of thinking that there is something the
matter with them. 1t is all imagina-
ton. Some of them stall through
whole season by thinking up different
aches and pains. Whenever they are
called on to pitch there is something
the matter with them. l tell you they
are too much pampered."

The folly of seeking to make a name
for oneself is seen in verse 49, A grand
illustration Of the significance of the
command in Hab. ii, .. is seen in les
son verses 1882. The words are.
write the vision, and make it plain
upon tables, that he may run that
readeth it," but they are generally mis-
quoted. that he that runs may read"
as II one could take it in as they do the
advertisements by the roadside when
travelling sixty miles an hour by train.
The true meaning evidently is, get the
message correctly and then run and
tell 1t. In our lesson Cushi had the
message, for he had seen what he was
to tell. Although insistent, Ahimaaz
was the f1eetest messenger, he knew
hothlng, and his running was in vain
(verses II. 20. 3O), and he had to stand
aside. And there are many running
today whom God never sent. They
Know nothing, but the worst of it is
that they take pride in not knowing
and yet insist that they have been
sent. 1t is blessed to be able to say.

CURIOUS COBRA TRAP.
And Queer Snake Theory Hold by the
Natives Of India.


Natives Of India.
a naturalist tells us Of an odd kind
OF snake trap that caught its victim
securely. 1t was biscuit can, and in
the bottom Of 1t We're some macaroons.
A cobra spied the can, but mouse
was ahead OF the cobra. The little thief
was having good time regaling him
SELF on the macaroons, all unconscious
that snake was preparing to regale
itself on mouse. Into the can went
the head of the snake, but the head
that Went In was destined to come out
less easily. The rough edges of the
can 1rritated the cobra, and 1nvolun-
tarily it dilated its hood. That made
1t prisoner. With the hood dilated
the head could not be withdrawn. and
the cobra remained In its tin prison
until morning. when it was easily can.
tured and killed.
Stradling. who knows the natives Of
lndla as we'll as he knows the snakes
or that land, tells Of an interesting
theory held by these people. They are
nrmly convinced that for every human
being a snake bites it loses one Joint.
When the number Of deaths the snake
mas caused equals the number of its
JOINTS the venomous head alone re.
mains. The snake has now reached the
height of its wicked desires, and at
this point it develops wings and tri.
umphantly disappears. WASHINGTON

Admiral Dewey told the story of the

lie said he was instrumental in its
adoption by this government, saying
that once, while he was aboard and

played Hail, Columbia" He called
the princes attention to the fact that
1t was not a national anthem and re.
