CURIOUS PRIVILEGES.

kme of the Prerogatives WhlcJU E«a<rl>ass*dors May Exercise. 'A curious privilege of an embassador Is that he and be alone when dismissed may turn his back to the sovereign to whose court he Is accredited. The (node of procedure is as follows: When the embassador’s audience is •ver, he waits to be dismissed by the ■overelgn. When dismissed, the embassador bows, retires three paces, bows again, retired another three paces, bows a third time, turns on his heels and walks to the folding doors. But It Is felt that more polite methods should obtain when the reigning sovereign is a woman. To turn his back Is to be discourteous, to walk backward Is to resign a privilege. The embassador retires sideways, like a crab. He keeps one eye on the sovereign and With the other tries to see the door. He thus shows politeness to the sovereign and at the same time retains tone of his privileges. As the embassador Is usually an old gentleman, often ■bort sighted, he sometimes falls to reach the door and comes in collision With the wall. Another privilege of embassadors is the right of being ushered into the royal presence through folding doors, both of which must be flung wide teen. No one except an embassador pn claim this privilege. The most •ny nonembassadorlal person can expect Is that one of the leaves shall be (opened to him. The reason for this privilege Is not known. There ace certain Irreverent suggestion® that have been made, but we prefer to be silent With regard to them. Another privilege, capable of oausing great inconvenience, is tbe embassador’s right of admission to tbe sov•relgn at any hour of the day or night. {Thus the minister representing some tittle bankrupt state could go down to (Windsor and demand an audience at • o’clock In tbe morning. The audience would 'have to be granted, though It could be delayed by tbe exercise of ingenulty.—Chambers’ Journal.

Lighting Up the Collseum.

The Romans have the hideous habit of periodically lighting the Coliseum during the season with Bengal lights and, what is more amazing still, usually succeed in making a financial' success of it, although no one was ever known to go twice. There is the additional abomination tn these days of a big brass band and a chorus of 100 voicesJu an invocatlbhto the Flavian amphitheater. The effect is tremendous, but somewhat stunning to those who are accustomed to their Coliseum empty and flooded with peaceful moonlight, where pictures from the past rise with the clearness of second sight, and no sound is heard but one’s own breathing or the soog of the nightingale. Contrast with Buch a scene the red, blue and yellow Bengal lights, the smoke, the confusion, the hundred shrieking throats and the clang of the brazen instruments! Imagination shrinks and curses the Roman of today with whom such a thing is possible. But is it his fault? As I said before, It Is a great financial success, and the Italians certainly do not patronize it. Query, Who does?— Rome Letter in Tall Mall Gazette.

How They Broke Up.

Au amusing story is related in “Canadian Savage Folk”, of the manner in which an adjournment was taken by a mass meeting. A missionary who had started a school among thfe Indians met with opposition, and the meeting had been called in support of the rival scheme. There were several speakers who denounced the school in existence. We replied vigorously, showing the efficiency of the school and denouncing tn turn the methods adopted by the opposition. An Indian chief produced some specimens of work done at the school, and several speakers supported the work as it was being done. The climax was reached when a gentleman rose and said: “I move the whole thing bust!” The chairman put the motion. “It Is moved and seconded that the whole thing bust!” The audience sprang to their feet and, waving hats, yelled “Busted!” and made for the door. Thus ended the first and last opposition in that matter. L . <?*. ■

He lets his weight rest pa the horse only once In a while. The most of the time he Is In the air, going up or coming flown.— Boston Transcript Some men never amount to much because they get into the habit of frequently beginning life anew.—Chicago News.
