TITLES.
It i3 curious to notice the absurd
anti ridiculous titles which despots
have created and claimed for them
selves. In the third and fourth ages
of Uom>*, the emperors styled them
selves diviuities. In 404 the follow
ing law of Arrndius and Honoriua
w*s published.
' Let the officers of the palace be
warnt 'i to abstain from frequenting
tumultuous meeting ; and that those
who, instigated by a sacrilegious
temerity, dare to oppose the author
ity of our divinity, shall be depriv
ed of their employments, and theii
estates confiscated.” When the sons
speak ol their fathers, it is “Theii
lather of divine memory,” or divim
fathers. They call their own laws
oracles. Their subjects also addresi
them by the titles of—your Perpet
uity—your .Eternity. The emper
ors, as appears from a law of Tbeo
dore the Great, added, “If any mag
istrate, after having concluded s
public work, put his name rathe:
than that of our Perpetuity, let hin
be judged guilty of high treason.”
The principal officers of the em
pire of Mexico were distinguished
by the odd titles of Princes of un
erring javalins; Hackers of men, sdc
Drinkers ol blood. The king o
Monomotapa is adulated by bis flat
terers as Lord ol the sun and moon
Great Magician, etc. The king o
Arracan is styled Emperor of Arra
can; Possessor of the white elep'uaDt
and the two ear-rings; Lord of thi
twelve provinces of Bengal. Hi
majesty of Ava is called God
When he writc-s to a foreign sover
eign, he calls himself the king o
kings, whom all others should obey
Four and twenty umbrellas are al
ways cnrrried before him as a marl
of his dignity.
The titles of the king of Acken
are singular, but too numerous t(
mention all. He is called the sov
crcign of the universe, whose bodi
is luminous as the sun, whom Go<
created such, whose eyes glitter liki
a star, a king as spiritual as a ball L
round, who, when he rises shades al
his people, from under whose feet :
sweet odor is wafted, etc. The kin;
of Persia is honored with the poeti
cal appellations of “The Branch o
Honor, the Minor of Virtue and th
Rose of Delight.
The title of Illustrious was no
given till the reign of Constantine
except in those whose reputation wa
splendid in arms or letters. Bu
this title at length became too com
mon to carry any significance. For
merlv the title of highness was onF
given to kings; but now it has be
come so oemmea that all grea
houses -siaie it. Ferdinand, kin;
of Arragon, and his ipieon Isabella
ol Castile, were only treated witl
the title of highness. Charles wa
the first who took that of majesty
It was F rancis I, who began to giv
him this last title in their interview
in the year 1520.
So distinct were once the titles o
highness and excellence, that whei
Don Juan, the brother of Philip 11
was permitted to take up the latte
title, and the city of Grenada salut
ed him by the title of highness, it oc
easioned some serious jealousy a
court; and had he persisted in it, hi
would probably have been condemn
ed for treason.
After these historical notices re
specting titles, the reader will prob
ably smile, when lie is acquainter
with the reason of an hone6t curati
of Mon9terratt, who refused to be
stow the title of highness on" tin
duke of Mantova, because he fount
in his breviary these words: “Ti
solus Dorninus, tu solus altissimus;'
from all which he coucluded, tha
none but Ihe Lord was to be honor
ed with the title of highness!

NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS.
The regent duke of Orleans onci
asked a stranger, what were the dif
ferent characters and dispositions o
the various nations in Europe? Thi
stranger said: “The only manner ii
■which I can answer your royal high
ness, is to repeat to you the fire'
questions which are asked among thi
eeveral nations, in regard to i
stranger who comes among them. Ir
idpain they ask, “Is he a nobktnar
of the first rank?” In Germany
“Can he be admitted into the chap
ters? ’ In France, “Is he in favor a
court? In Holland, “How muct
money has he?” And in England
“Who is that man?”
Another describes the differenl
European nations thus: “The Span
iards,” he says, have a deal of cruel
ty in their manners, which they ac
quired Irom the Arabians and tbi
Moors who are mixed with them
they also possess the violence of tht
Moors, and their spirit of chivalry
and at the same time they still re
tain somewhat of the Roman grav
ity from the colonies of that natior
■which they formerly received intc
their country.
The French have lost the ferocity
of their ancestors. They are gallaul
and brave; and their intercourse
with other nations has refined then
very much to what they were sever
al centuries back.
The English possess and always
will retain that hardness wh ich dis
linguished the. ancient people of the
Fioriu, but which they now mollify
by their lravels into Italy anei
France.
The Hollanders from their inter
course with other nations, and the
many learned strangers which be
come resident among them, have
quitted their natural grossness.
. The Italians have inherited fron:
I tie ancient Romans, politeness, anei
delicacy of genius; and from the
Greeks, caught manners, lying and
deceit.
\
Tbe Germans, above all other
Europeans, have varied leas from
their original state. They still poa
seas the strength and courage of
their ancestors, their heaviness of
genius, and inclination to labor; and
which is very evident in their litera
ture.
Tbe most certain way of discover
ing the real manners of a people, i»
to view them in the moat popalous
states, and that pait o! the nation
who have the least iutercst in dis
guising themselves. Go to China,
aDd you will see two porters, when
they have jostled each other in a
narrow street, take the loads off
their backs, make a thousand ex
cuses to each other for tbe accident
they occasioned, and on their knees
will a6k each other pardon for the
offence. On the contrary,in London,
or in Paris, two porters on such an
occasion, will quarrel, and perhaps,
finish their dispute with blows.
The Biggest Railroad Station.
Tbe city of St. Louis now posses
ses the distinction of having the
largest passenger railway station in
the United States. It is 630 feet
wide, and has thirty tracks, enough
to handle ten iocomiog and ten out
going trains simultaneously. It is
known as the Union S'alion, and
the territory owned by the company
operating it covers twenty-seven
I acres.
Tbe city of Boston has the next
to the largest station for passenger
J service in the country. The Union
Station in Boston, on tbe North
Side has a length of 530 feet, a width
' of 460 feet, and twenty three tracks.
Both of these huge stations are to
’ be surpassed by the new Southern
' Station in Boston, upon which work
was begun in January, 1897, and
which is now nearing completion.
It is designed to be the biggest rail
road station in the United States.
The length of the Southern Union
Station in Boston is to be 710 feet
1 and the width 650 feet. When it
' is completed there arc to be tracks
for thirty trains, and the waiting
room is to be 265 feet long. New

A Check Story.
There is a good check story in
the Westminster Budget. It is one
of a Presbyterian minister who had,
to bis intense surprise and delight,
received an unwonted check from
a charitable donor. “This check is
to order and must be indorsed,’’
explained the paying cashier at the
Higblaud bang.” “Eb?” “Indorsed
—across the back.’’ “Oh, ay!’’
And with the pen and all bis soul
the minister wrote. “I heartily in
dorse this check.”
A Queer (?) Medicine.
There is a medicine whose pro
prietors do not claim to have dis
covered some hitherto unknown in
gredient, or that it is a cure-all.
This honest medicine only claims to
cure a certain disease, and that its
ingredients are recognized by the
most skilled physicians as being the
best for Kidney and Bladder Dis
eases. It is Foley’s Kidney Cure.

, Boston Transcript.
When we read of an elephant hunter who
has been trampled to death in the wilds of
India, we wonder at the foolhardiness of a
man who will travel round the world and
endure all manner of hardships, in order to
court death in a far away jungle. A man
does not have to make a journey to India
in order to court death in a manner equally
foolhardy.
Thousands of hard working men are daily
courting death in a much more certain
form, without ever leaving their native vil
lages or cities. They are the men who neg
lect their health. They are the men who
court death from consumption, or some
other deadly disease due to improper or
insufficient nourishment. The man who
suffers from bilious or nervous disorders,
who has a weak stomach and an impaired
digestion, who has lost the power to eat,
rest or sleep, and who fails to take prompt
steps to remedy these conditions, is court
ing death in the guise of some fatal malady.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
cures 98 per cent, of all cases of bronchial,
throat and laryngial affections that lead up
to consumption. It soothes the cough,
facilitates expectoration and restores the
lost appetite. It corrects all disorders of
the digestion, makes the assimilation of
the life-giving elements of the food perfect.
It invigorates the liver and purifies and en
riches the blood. It is the great blood
maker, flesh-builder, nerve tonic and re
storative. It is the best of all known med
icines fot nervous disorders. Dealers sell
it and have nothing else "just as good.’’
’* 1 had a bad cough and got so low with it that
X could not sit up, writes Mrs. Mittie Gray, ol
New London, Union Co., Ark. “Our family
physician told my husband that I bad consump
tion. X had naina through my chest and spit up
blood. X took your 1 Golden Medical Discovery ’
and it cured me. It saved my life."
DIVES MORE DEPRAVED THAN BEFORE.
Tho dives are not yet in full blast
in the Tenderloin. They are in full
•wing further down town. A mag
istrate of the city met me a month
ago, and said, In surprise:
“Did you know that the dives have
invaded Fourth Avenue?”
I did not know, but it is Hue.
Within the shadow of Cooper Union
and flaunting its scenes of shame al
most in the face of the statue of tbe
great philanthropist who founded
that institution, is an open dive,
under the guise of a club, than
whiob no more depraved place ever
existed m New York. I have a
ticket of membership in that club—
cost twenty-five cents good for one
year. The dance-hall of tbe club is
like all tboso of the dives, and it is
unnecessary to go into particulars.
A new dive on the Bowery, how
evor, should be mentioned. It ba9
a naval name. About its walls are
naval pictures exclusively. Por
traits of Dewey, Sampson, Schley,
Hobson, Sigsbec, Evans, and a lot
more look down from tbe walls. At
tbe far end of tbe room are two
naval paintings done in Bowery
style. One represents the sinking
of the Merrimac at the entrance of
Santiago Harbor, and tbe other rep
resents Ilobson and his companions,
resplendent in full uniforms, on a
raft, waving defiantly the American
flag amid shot and shell in the
broad daylight. Flags decorate the
places where there are no navai pic
tures. The first impression, as one
enters this place and sees what is
going on, is not one of astonishment
so much as shock. The names and
pictures of naval heroes are being
used as decoys for vice.
The place has the open approval
of the police. While I was going
in the doorway at three o’clock one
morning recently, under the escort
of a famous Bowery character, two
policemen stood at the doorway, and
each was receiving a drink of whis
key from the manager of the place.
I could* give the number of the
policemen if necessary.—Franklin
Matthews, in Harper’s Weekly.
Scratch for Money.
A father's lot is to dig and scratch
for money, but yet he should not neg
lect his baby’s health. Provide your
baby with Dr. John W. Bull's Baby
Syrup when teething, and avoid much
suffering. Mr. J. P. .Steiner, Aurora,
Mo., who has had some experience
with this remedy, pronounces it “the
best medicine for babies lie has ever
used in his family.” It costs only 25
cents, but fathers should see that they
get Dr. John W. Bull's Baby Syrup.

International Sunday School Lesson for
November 6, 1898.
Subject, “Flezekiah’s Great Pass*
over.” 2 Chron. 30: 1-13. Read
the wnole chapter. Golden Text,
“Yield yourselves unto the Lord,
and enter into His Sanctuary2
Cbron. 20: 8.
King Hezekiab sent to all Israel
and Judah, and wrote letters to the
tribes of Ephraim and Macasseh al
so, that they should come to the
house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to
keep the passover unto the Lord God
of Israel.
This passover feast had been com
manded by the God of Israel, 765
years before, to be observed forever;
but His people hsd forsaken Him
and discontinued it. On that mem
orable night in Egypt, when the
lamb was slain and its blood put od
the door post of every beliver’a
house, making such house absolute
ly secure from death, by the pledg
ed word of the Lord, no matter what
was the experience or life of the in
mates; the lamb was then to be eat
en in joy and thanksgiving, by the
same word of their Lord, forgetting
themselves, and remembering only
His mercy'.
And now Hezekiab reminds his
kingdom that “they had not done it
for a long time in such sort as it was
written.” So the posts went with
the letters commanding the people
to “turn again unto tne Lord God of
Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and He
will return to the remnant of you.”
They were reminded that “The Lord
is merciful and gracious, slow to
anger and plenteous in mercy. . . .
He bath cot dealt with us after our
sins, nor rewarded us according to
our iniquities. . . .Like as a father
pitieth his children, so the Lord
pitielh them that fear Him.”
So the posts passed from city to
city through the whole land, but the
people laughed them to scorn and
mocked them. Nevertheless some
of the people of three tribes hum
bled themselves and came to Jerusa
lem, and in Judah God gave them
one heart to obey this command,and
a very great congregation assembled
in the holy city to keep this joyful
feast.
Anu iiezeniau prayeci, • me gooa
Lord pardon every one that prepar
eth his heart to seek God. And
the Lord hearkened to Ilezekiab,
aod healed the people.” And the
children of Israel kept the feast 7
days with great gladness and praise,
and the king spake comfort ably to
the people and taught the good
knowledge of the Lord, and they
made confession to the Lord God ol
their fathers. They not only rejoic
ed, but they purified their lives and
were blessed, and their prayer came
up to IIis holy dwelling place even
unto Heaven.
Read in Zncheriah 14: 16 of the
time w#en the whole world shall
come up to Jerusalem to keep this
joyous prssover feast, when “the
Lord shall be King over all the
earth; in that day shall there be one
Lord and His name one.” “Chris!
oi r passover is sacrificed for us.”

THE OLD WAY*
We have no record of just how
the Puii'.ans’ Thanksgiving tables
were set, but from contemporaneous
pictures we can judge there were few
if any forks, each guest being sup
plied with a knife. They sat on
benches and chests, ate from pewter
platters, and the table was in most
cases literally a board placed on
wooden horses. They had few chairs
or tables,but were plentifully sup
plied with chests containing their
linen and wardrobes, and these served
in the place of chairs. In later co
lonial times chairs.’and tables be
came more plentiful, and forks were
more common, but all preferred to
eat with their knives on account of
the dangerous sharp steel point of
the two pronged forks. The table
and dishes were arranged as follows:
TIIANKSGININO DINNER OF 1750.
First Course.
At the upper end of your table a
pike roasted with a pudding within
it, which you must afterward remove
(not the pudding, but the fish), for

Under that a version patty, and
Under that a giblet pye.
On the further side of which place
a fine boiled pudding (a roly poly or

On the nearer side of the giblet
pye place some Scotch collops; cro

Second Course.
At the upper end of the table a
