HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Clinton New Era, 1890-07-04, Page 3P F• ENT ? TO TURQ17EBt, To bepreeeuted to the Queen of England is considered the highest Atelier wbieb can be bestowed on a lady. Unce this honor txaa heeit -decared. the eaei ed pole tee ot'Souiety' are opened to the recipient, and ehe is entitled to to privilege of presentation at 'Qrei,4n courts. Those who desire to be presented to tier Majeety fqr the first time are required to arrange the matter with eome lady who has already passed through the ceremony. The lat- ter proceeds by communicating with the Lord Chamberlain,whose duty it is thereupon to make in- quiries as to the character of the 'intending debutante—a very im- portant point, ae the Queen is ex- ccepdingTy strict in this respect. The preliminary inquiries hav- ing proved satisfactory, the lady to be presented receives a card ad- mitting her to the Throne -Room On the day fixed for the ceremony. The dress to be worn requires a e,~• good deal of attention, the royal degree being that each lady shall ' appear in a certain uniform. This uniform consists of a drese cut low at the neck, with short sleeves and a train three yards in length! White gloves are also de rigueur, and each lady must wear a veil hanging down the back,surmount- ed by three white ostrich feath- ers. Bouquets have to be provid- ed, not only for the lady herself, but also for the coachman and footman. The Throne -Room is, of course, at Buckingham Palace. It is a spacious, oblong room, at one end of which is a raised dias, on the centre of which the Queen takes her place,surrounded by the mem- bers of her family, seated accord- ing to their order of precedence. Very often the Prime Minister is present, and there is always a small body of ambassadors and other distinguished attaches.— Those about to be presented as- semble in an ante -room, and as no order of precedence is observ- ed here, there is considerable striving to be presented among the first, especially as Her Majes- ty often leaves the Princess of Wales to receive towards the end of the ceremony. The way to the Throne -Room from the ante -chamber is through a corridor, the entrance to which is guarded by the gentleman -at - arms, in their plumed helmets and gorgeous uniforms of scarlet and gold. Inside the corrider one of the gentlemen of the . household adjusts the lady's veil and train, and then,with her bouquet and fan in her right hand, she is ready.— A large mirror extends along on one side in which she may see that all is correct. Her'presen- tation card is handed by a page to the Lord Chamberlain, who calls outthe lady's name and then drops the card into a gilded basket at rfi his feet.

Frenchmen, Spaniards and It- alians, with 1I•eir various race branches,' are. yr it rule, very. agreeable men to encounter in so- ciety: but they have literally no appreciation of that uncomprom- ising sincerity which is the boast of the Saxon race, With a man of the Latin race a spade may be called almost anything but a spade, and he takes it for granted that if he calls it a moonbeam you know perfectly well that it isn't one, and that to call it ea is "only his fun." With a man of this blood, hip first obligation to- wards women is to make himself agreeable, to put them into good humor, and to say the sort of things they like to hear. In New York the gentleman carries or sends French candies to the lady he wishes to please : the Frenchman does the same thing with a difference, for the sweat - meats he offers ale verbal, and rather understood than seen, and he is as mach e:irprieed at being misunderstoed as the first man would be if recipient of the can- dies should indignantly declare that he had offered to maintain her. The Spaniard tells the guest that his house, his horse, his here- ditary jewels are yours and yours [alone ; but the few per- sons who have tried to take him at his word have seen cause to regret their credubility. The cavalier who makes a morning call or writes a note after the ball, de- clares that he "kisses the feet" of the lady he addresses ; but if she held out the foot to accept the proffered salute, he would retreat in alarm, thinking she had gone mad or wished to insult him. In the same spirit he tells near- ly every young andf good-looking woman he meets that he could not sleep last night for thinking of her, that if he bad met her earlier in his life he should have been a different man, bat if she is so unkind and cold owards him he shall be driven to desperate courses, that when she is present other women fall into insignificance, that he does not know whether the prima donna is singing well or ill, be- cause his attention is fixed -on her eyebrow, or her waist, or tier ear, etc. obaq@:'al4 u co operative boot and. shoe store, Saturday evening, As the clerk was tying up the bum dle that increased the reporter's etoek of shirts to two, a man and woman, evidently husband and wife, entered the store. Both were young, but care and sorrow had left indefaceable lines upon the woman's still refined counten- ance, while the man's face bore upon it the unmistakable marks of dissipation. As a salesman approached the couple, the woman timidly said 'Jim, I want apair• of shoo for little Johnny and I wish I could have g some for ' 'youreelf, , broke in the husband. 'Well you can,' said he, continuing, 'Look here, Katie, here's my whole week's wages,' and pulling out a twenty dollar bill, he placed it in her hand. 'Save enough for the rent and us to live on and buy what you want with the rest. Tears sprank into the woman's eyes, and though evidently aware of the reporter's proximity, she did not appear even to notice him .Thank you, Jim,' she said in a tremulous tone. 'But I can't help wishing you had acted this way before; poor little Johnny bas been without decent shoes for a month.' "I knew it, Katie, but it won't happen again. The saloons are gone now, and my money is com- ing home now every Saturday night to you. When I leave the shop now nights, I don't have to pass half -a -dozen shops and go in and treat and be treated.' By this time quite a curious but respectful crowd bad gathered about the couple and the latter, all at once realizing where they were, walked to the rear of the store, where it is hoped that Katie purchased to her heart's content.

In India everything runs by caste, and the barbers rank with the washerman and blacksmiths. A barbers son is always a barber, and a barber's daughter is sure to marry a barber. The radian bar- ber, like the Chinaman, travels' from house to house to do his shay ing. He carries all his tools un- der his arm, wrapped up - in •a cloth, and when he shaves his cus- tomer he makes him squat down on his heels, and bend over h!s head. He then squats down ,on his own heels in front of him, and the two, without chair or stool,do the business in the most primib:ve manner. He usually shaves with cold water, and he is a manicure as well as a barber. No Hindoo shaves himself, and few Hindoos pare their own nails. The barber is expected to take the gray hairs out of your head, eyebrows and mustache, and Iike his Chinese brother, he pars attention to cleaning the ears and to shaving h e face, even to the corners of h e oyes. A high priced barber n India gets from one dollar and a quarter to two dollars a month per family, An ordinary shave costs from one to two cents, and a first class hair cut is given for one cent to a niekle. It is quite cus- tomary in the East for the fami- lies to shave their heads when they go into' mourning, and in Siam, when a King dies, all the people in the country are suppos- ed to cut off their hair so close that the tops of their heads are as clean as a billiard ball. The head of the corpse is shaved in India, and, while watching a body being cremated at Benares, the writer saw about hall a bushel of human hair lying on the stone steps not far from the fire. I asked where it came from, and the guide told me it had just been cut from the friends and relatives of the de- ceased. The Indian barber is a surgeon as well as a shaver. He bores the holes in the girls' ears, and ,pierces their noses for the nose ring. He often acts as a professional match -maker. He trims" the nails of the bride for weddings, and takes off the fine clothes of the widow, and dresses her in her funeral garments. I bad these Hindoo barbers meet me at every station in India, and they wore always within call of the hotels. Entering the Throne -Room, the lady walks straight up to her Majesty, making her courtesy,and extends her ri 'wt hand. The Queen places her left hand over the extended hand of the lady, who again courtesies and kisses the royal hand. The ceremony is now over—no, not quite, for it is the rule for ladies to make a series of courtesies as they move backwards out of the room, and with three yards of train sweep- ing the floor, this can hardly be the lightest part of the ordeal. We should add that when young ladies of high birth are presented Her Majesty usually kisses them on the right cheek, a mark of favor which is generally also ex- tended to duchesses. After a lady has been presented she may have a seat in a gallery beyond the Throne -Room, where she can admire the dresses of those enter- ing later than herself. A royal presentation is rather a costly affair. Tho court eti- quette in regard to dress is in many cases felt to be irksome and unpleasant, although it should be said that the Queen herself always . appears in the ,same style of dress ad -that requij'i'tq be worn by her subjects on presentation. It must be anything but pleasant;however, for a lady to have to sit in the ante -room perhaps for three hours on a cold, wet day, waiting her turn in a low-cut dress with short sleeves. Medical men have over and over regain condemned this court uniforms but to no purpose. Until the blood is cleansed of impnrities,it is useless to attempt the cure of any disease. Rheuma- tism, which is traceable to an acid in the blood, has been cured, in numerous cases, by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla,external treat- ment being of no avail. CATARRIA, CATARRHAL DKAFNECY—HAV rEYER A NEW NOME TREATMENT. Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose and endtachian tubes. Microscopic --'research, however, has proved this to be a fact, and the result of this discovery in that a simple remedy has been formulated where- by catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks. N.B.—This treatment is not a snuff or an ointment ; both have been discarded by reputable physicians as injurious. A pamphlet explaitfing this new treatment is sent on receipt of ten cents by A.

'It must have been news. to most people to be told that. the Duke of Edinburgh is an en.th'asi- astic collector of postage stamps,' says Modern Society. 'As we have it on his own au-thority, there can be no doubt about the truth of the statement. His skill en the violin is, of course, well known, but that the 'first fiddler in the kingdom should inddlgee to in so apparently unprofitable a pursuit is a surprise. All the members of iihe Royal Fa'itiil y have certain bobbies, and very creditable ones too. Of .china, bronzes, and other works of art there is 'no better judge than the Prince e'rf Wades; at the war game, the Dmke of'Connaught is not to be beaten, while the late Duke of Albany, as a critic of Shakespeare and ce lecter of folios and quartos was well known. The powers of the Empress Frederick and Prin- cess Christian with the:pen would get them a good living any day; the Marchioness of Lorne is as good in painting as in sculpture; v'hale the Princess Beatrice is one of oser best amateur actresses.

In the stable of a famous sports- man in New York there is an en- closure where a bull -dog is kept e. prisoner. The dog has won thirty or forty battles, and is so fierce that everybody except the man who handles him in his fights keeps at a distance from the brute says the Sun. Very often lovers of dogs make a visit to the stable to have a look at the canine pugi- list, but they are exceedinlg shy in approaching him. Recently he owner of the dog went to the stable, and, as the coachman .had gonelwith the horses to the black- smith's, he let himself in with a pass -key and went over to have a look at his prize dog. When he arrived at the penthe was astonieh- ed and startled to see the 4 -year old daughter of the coachman sit- ting on the dog's side and cheer- fully pounding that animal in the face with an iron bolt. The deg lay there with his enor- mous jaws open, his fongue hanging out and his face transfixed by a look of dog -like faith and devotion to the infant. The little girl pulled his mouth, and after she had got through playing with hi,n went off to an- other part of the stable, while the bulldog whinedja plaintive appeal to her to come back and see him again. It turned out that this went on every day, and that, too. with the knowledge of the child's father. 'I never know a dog to hurt a little kid like that,' the coachman remarked sententiously. 'They ain't built that way.'

Dr Chalmers was expelled from the parieh school of Anstruther as a dunce for whom there was no hope. Adam Clark, who rose to be one of the most famous Wesleyan ministers, was pronounced by his father "a grievous dunce." Sir David Wilkie, when at school, was one of the idlest and most eccentric of boys. He himself declares that he could,draw be- fore he could read, and paint be- fore he could spel). Walter Scott, while at Edin- burgh Uinversity, gave little evi- dence of that genius which was to make him famous: 'Dunce he is and dunce he will remain,' said Professor Dalzell of him who be- came the most distinguished of his students. Charles Darwin, in his auto- biography, tells us that he 'had much zeal for subjects that inter- ested him,' which possibly could be said for the dullest boy that ever vexed a teacher's heart. It was the collective opinion of Dar- win's masters that a duller boy had never been within the school walls. Robert Chambers, whose name will ever be held in esteem as a pioneer of cheap literature, for six weeks filled a situation in Mitchel street, Leith. 'From that place he says, '1 was discharged for no other reason that I can think of but that my employer thought me too stupid to be likely ever to do him any good" Dr Samuel Smiles, is nis life of' (Teorge Moore,tells us that school the great philanthropist was con- sidered dull.

Henry Ward Beecher, as we learn from his byography, was a dull boy. On Sunday it was usual in his father's family for the children to learn the cate- chism, but at this exercise Henry always broke down. The People's Grocery Business Change.
