The floors of each of these apartments during the annual cleaning. have to be repolished, a laborious task Which takes several weeks to complete Apart from the work mentioned the inspector oi the palace has a great many other things to see to. He has to see that a host of minor repairs throughout the palace are attended to, and has to see that everything from the locks on the doors to the window sash cords are in perfect or- der before he leaves the palace. All the clocks in the palace are overhauled at this time of the year. This alone is in itself a big business, and it is done by contract. There are over three hundred clocks in the palace, and some of then are im- mensely valuable. There is a clock in the Queen's boudoir which was in the possession of Queen Elizabeth. Roya! View on Manners. At the Speech Day celebration at Wolverley School, Worcester Eng- land, the other day, the Bishop of Worcester retailed an account of a conversation he once had with King George, when he was Duke of York, on the subject of manners. The bishop said on the occasion in question he was about to address some ublic school boys when the Duke of fork remarked: "Why do you not ask that at public schools manner should be taught?" In response to the bishop's question as to why he should specially emphasize manners, the Duke of York replied, "Because, as you know, 1 wix among all sorts and conditions of men, and it has 'been a positive distress jo me to see how often, when abroad, English- men lose in the race with French- men, Italians, 'and Germans because of the Englishupan's want of manners. "The foreigners know when to bow, to shake hands, to converse, to stand up or sit down in the presence of their superiors, while the English. man is wanting in these manners, and when vacancies have to be filled up those are the points which very often tell, and that is where the Eng- lishman does not shine." .

Prince's Badge. The 'popular tradition associated with thé well-known ostrich-feather badge and motto of the Prince of Wales is that they were won at Crecy by the Black Prince from King John of Bohemia. This is, however, tradi- tion only, and is not supported by any contemporary comment or col- firmation. The truth is that the origin of the device is unknown. The crest of the King of Bohemia was not an ostrich plame, but the wing of an eagle. Moreover, on the Black Prince's tomb in Canterbury Cathedral the ostrich feathers are employed, by his own direetion, as a badge of peace, and it seems scarcely likely that he would have so particularized a device won in battle. Ostrich feathers were populat as badges in those days. The Black Prince sometimes wore three and sometimes one, and so did oth- er princes. In its present form the badge of the Prince of Wales doev not occur earlier than the monument of Prince Arthur in Worcester Cathe- dral, in the reign of Henry VII. On the Canterbury monument to the Black Prince the feathers are nos grouped as a plume An End to Extravagance. The mother of a certain pretty sev. enteen-year-old girl was having a talk with Edith's father the other day about Edith's com out party.

Among the Lolos of western China it is customary 'for the bride on the wedding morning to perch herself on the highest branch of a large tree while the elder femgple members of her family cluster ofi the lower limbs armed with sticks. When all are duly stationed the bridegroom clambers up the tree, assailed on all sides by blows, pushes and pinches from the dowagers, and it is not until he has broken through their fence and cap- tured the bride that he is allowed to carry her off. ---------------- An Emperor's Rebuke, A diplomat in this country recalls a rebuke he heard the aged emperor of Austria administer to a snobbish noble who had lamented the scarcity in Vienna of personages exalted enough in rank to be cultivated as his ac- quaintances, "Were 1 like you, sir," replied the emperor, "in such anxious search for blood equals, I would find companions only among the dead Hapsburgs." Ordeal of Fire. Throughout the dark ages of Europe an accused person had to carry a piece of redhot iron some distance in h's hand or to walk nine feet bare. footed over plow:hares at white heat. The hand or foot was bound up and inspected three days afterward. If the defendant had escaped unhurt he was pronounced innocent; if otherwise, guilty. Sneezing. Aristotle maintaived that to sneeze at any time between midnight and poon was bad, from neooft te mid night good, while at high noon it was propitious.
