THE VISITS OF SOME FOREIGN
POTENTATES.
Amusing ; Incidents Recorded While
,They Were. "Doing" Eng„
land.
When a foreign potentate or
Royalty of minor rank visits Eng-
land for the first time a clerk from
the Foreign Office is usually de-
tailed by the Government to "show
him round," or, ' in official lan-
guage, t0 act t
as the
potentate' s
"visiting attache," says a writer in
London Answers.
I have acted on several occasions
officially as guide, counsellor, and
friend to a number of minor foreign
Royal personages, and when doing
so have .had. some rather amusing
experiences.
I acted as attache to Prince Lidj
Eyassau, of the Abyssinian Royal
Family, when he came to London
some years ago. He was rather an
awkward sort of person to have to
take charge of. He had a habit
when he went into a shop of picking
up things to look at, and, if they
did not take his fancy, of dropping
them to the ground in the most
lordly and disdainful manner.
On one occasion we went into a
dealer's shop in Bond Street, where
he took up an odd Dresden vase,
and, after looking at it critically for
a few minutes, threw it to the
ground. I made a frantic but una-
vailing effort to catch it. The
Prince had subsequently to pay
£300 to the dealer for the vase.
STRANGE APPRECIATION.
Another gentleman I had the hon-
or of escorting about London for a
Couple of weeks was the Sultan of
Oran. I went with him to a dinner -
party one night given at one of the
embassies. All went well until the
end of the dinner, when the ambas-
sador and his wife rose from the
table. The chief gue.st then sud-
denly hit the table a resounding
blow with his fist, and shouted out
something in his native tongue,
whilst his eyes appeared to blaze
with anger as he glared first at his
host and hostess and then at their
guests. No one seemed to -know
quite what to do.
Then,,,, in a low undertone, the
Wean explained to me in French
endeavoring to;‘,:think his
hospitelity; ud the, w
r ,*: ded• happily.
�ocasionally minor foreign poten-
tates who come to England neglect
to make proper arrangements about
having money advised to them from
their native country to London,
and, as a result, find themselves in
considerable financial embarrass-
ment.
.Some years ago a prince of the
reigning family of a minor Euro-
pean State arrived in. London for
a short visit without a penny.
"UNCLE" TO THE RESCUE.
The attache, however, who was
commissioned to look after him
brought a. pawnbroker to the hotel
where the prince was staying, who
advanced £1,000 on .the prince's
jewels, which lasted the prince un-
til he obtained money from his own
country, fortunately only afew
days later.
One of the most amusing inci-
dents I remember in connection
with my experiences as a visiting
attache was when I took the then
Crown Prince of Siam to a great
'society bazaar. The prince evident-
ly did not understand, though I
tried to explain to him, that the
�ladies selling at the bazaar were
persons of high rank.
A few minutes after be entered
the bazaar several great ladies ep-
proached him, :asking him to buy
some of their wares. One of these
was a duehes•s. "Tell these women
to kneel when they address me," he
said to me in broken French. The
ladies, who understood • him,
promptly did so, •and succeeded in
taking about £50 off the prince be -
...fore they rose. Nothing on earth
Could, however, convince the Crown
Prince of the high rank of the sales-
women,
GLAD TO ESCAPE.
"It's useless to urge me to marry
you. When I say no I mean no."
"Al ways 2"
"Invariably.".
"And can nothing ever break
our determination when once you
hake up your mind?"
"Absolutely nothing."
"Well, I wouldn't care to marry
girl like that anyhow."

says :---"I was attacked with nerv-

to distraction. It would be almost

startle me and leave me trembling
or an hour: I had nervous head-
aches, and slept very badly at
nights, some nights not at all. 141y
appetite grew poor, and I was real-
ly ar physical wreck. I had been
to several doctors and had taken
many different medicines, but with-
out any benefit. Then I read of a
case similar cured by the use of
Dr. Williams' •Pink Pills, and I
sent for a dozen boxes, fully believ-
ing it would take at least that
many to cure me. You can judge of
my, gratitude, however, when I
found that after using only half a
dozen. boxes• I was again enjoying
the best of health, and have since
remained well and strong. I used
the remainder of the pills among
my children when they seemed out
of sorts, and have found them at
all times to be the very best of
family medicines." `

it was time to see how much they
had understood of his discourse.
Casting his eyes round the room,
he fixed on Private Murphy as his
first vietim. ' is
`Private Murphy," he asked,
why should a soldier be ready to
die for his country?"
Private Murphy scratched his
head for a moment, and then a
smile of enlightenment crossed his
face.

santly, "you're quite right. .Why
should he?"

Next time you want to esti>ir
a person's character at the
time of meeting glance at his''
brows. Long, drooping eyebr:,
lying wide apart, indicate an anis

vitality and great sensitiveness,,
Faintly -defined eyebrows, placed,
high above the nose, are signe ofin-
dolence and weakness. Very blas
eyebrows are signs of •a passiona

note fervor and ambition. Whc,
the arch of the eyebrow is well near
the centre a romantic disposition•
is indicated;• where it is nearer :thy

dicate Characteristics,
Have you ever noticed thea the
back views of men and women are
intensely characteristic of the indi-
viduals ? No ?
Then look carefully at that very
ordinary young man who has passed
you. He has one hand in his pock-
et, and shoulders slightly stooped.
From what you can see of him, his
head is bent, and every now and
again he gives an aimless little kick
at some object in his path, What
back view could be more eloquent
of indecision of character 7
Now glance at the receding back
of the man who has passed you by.
Why does it fill you with an in-
stinetive sense of reliability? . Be-
cause there is strength in it; not
necessarily physical, but mental,,
The back is straight and alert. The
head is held well back, the arms
swing easily, and the walk is buoy-
ant, confident, hopeful.
Now direct your gaze across the
street a moment. There goes a
girl who, under a cursory scrutiny,
looks• the personification of what
wealth can do. Walk behind her a
little way, and take good stock of
the back -view presented to you.
You soon discover that the end of a
fringe -nest hangs down on to the
coat -collar. The collar of the
blouse is done up with .a large pin.
The middle seam of the skirt is not
in its place. There is a hole in the
stocking just above the ankle, and
the shoes, in spite of being expen-
sive, need repairing. Evidently the
wearer is an untidy, shiftless wo-
man.
Always Serviceable.—Most pills
lose their properties with age. Not
so with Parmelee's Vegetable Pills.
The pill mass is so compounded
that their strength and effective-
ness is preserved and the pills can
be carried anywhere without fear
of losing their potency. This is a
quality that few pills possess. Some
pills lose their power, but not so
with Parmelee's. They will main-
tain their freshness and potency for
a long time.

POPULAR TRADITIONS.
To a greater or less extent super-
stition affects both the educated and
the ignorant, the rich and the poor.
Dr. Johnson considered it unlucky
to walk into his house except with
a particular leg first. The great
Napoleon had a belief in omens,
end what is little beeeer than the
common kind • if ' fortune-telling;
and although Sir Walter Scott
wrote a book to disprove demon-
ology and witchcraft, there is no
doubt that he was, to a certain ex-
tent, imbued with superstition.
There are sailors who do not like to
sail on Fridays, others who do not
like to meet a squint-eyed woman.
Then, again, there• are people, like
the Vicas of Wakefield, who believe
in lucky dreams; for instance, a
coffin and cross bones, which is
said to be a sign. of an approaching
wedding.
