A curious curtailment of the Royal prerogative is effected by an Act of Parliament passed in the reign of George 111. which deals with Subiwth- breaking. In flits Act It is distinctly Matad that the monarch shall not have the power to pardon any pet tins con - 1101M of a certain forret uf; . ibbatti. breaking.

Anar- ehists, however', took advantage of the ,ertvilege, and on one mtetnoruble occa- sion a treac.iei•ous emissary drove a tagger into the heart o[ his sovereign, anti from that time forth the '1111; PRIVILEGE IIAS BEEN DIS- ALLOWI:D. Notwithstanding the democratic in- stitutions of the United Stales, the social relations of President lioosevelt with the outside world aro governed by strict etiquette. An invitation to din - ,ter at the President's official residence --the White IJouse--is a command just as much as a Royal invitation would lie. Many a dinner -party amongst thl Senators and Government officials has had to bo cancelled becau.e of the President's habit of inviting the lead- ing ineniters of tiro Senate to dine with titin' simply to discuss political affairs. In passing into the grand State ronin to dinner the President's wife al- ways has to \V..Ik hist --ilio President himself taking in the wife of the doyen t,r head of the diplomatic corps. Another very 'curious etiquette law is nee which prevents the President from ever accepting nn invitation from the Ambassador of a foreign country. The reason for this i9 that the President is supposed never to leave his country, and. as every embassy is regarded as the territory of the particular country it represents, the ['resident would be deemed to have left his own country by stepping over the TllllESI[O[.D OE ANY EMBASSY. When the youthful Ding of Spain was twelve years of age he one clay had the misfortune to slip and fall down a flight of the palace steps. The fall would very probably have been attend- ed tvitti fatal results had it not been for n servant who extended a kindly lurid arra saved his young master. by breaking the fall. But, by a stringent rule of -panikli etiquette no servant may dare touch the su.•red person of the King, and for this very. "grave" offence the servant was at once dis- missed from his position. By a remarkable law of Royal eti- quette, which eat: existed for a number of years past at the Court of Siam, no person is permitted to 51eep in an apartment situated above that occupied by the King. A deliberate breach cif this rule has on more then one occa- sion neon punished by death. Recently, when the King of Siam paid a visit to Paris, a number of bech•eonis were re- served directly above that in which the King was to have slept, for the dusky followers of the Royal visitors. The blunder caused great Consternation anions '1'I!B FEARhhl, (:OUIlrIEBS, until the matter was expiained to the management and duly rectified. It is a traditionary etiquette custom in the Mariborough family for each Duke to present a Blenheim spaniel to the Duchess when she enters Blenheim i'alace for the first time as its mistress. The story from «Crich this custom has its origin is that during the Battle of Blenheim a spaniel followed at the heels of the great Duke throughout the day, never leaving hirn until victory was as- sured. when the Emperor or Empress cit China appears 111 public, no other per- son Is allowed to occupy a higher plat , than they do.
