BA N DON II ECO R D E R. ANCIENT COrFEE. Th«* Wny the Heiernice Wax IM'«-we«i In tl»e Seventeenth Century. jJi P olly L arkin ijj off the ravagt-s of time, I adopt a sys tem -in my luiud -but I never get to tin point that I keep up my enthusi asm for more than a few «lays at a time. I kuow cold water baths are a tine tiling to keep one strong and well and make the body hardy so that colds are not an every day occurrence. Do youthink 1 keep up the bat hi ng? Well, 1 don’t. Gue plunge Into cold water makes my teeth chatter tor a week, and I don’t nerve myself up to take another for a long time to come. 1 promiie that I will keep such a vigi lant watch over myself that I will not utter an unkind word, down all un charitable and ugly feelings that arise and make me cross and disagreeable. I will tie pleasant in spiteof everything, but 1 fall so far short of what I intended to do tliat I do not dare to sum up the failures when I go to my own room. If I did I would only tind that I was bankrupt—failed in everything and nothing left for my creditors, who had a right to expect some measure of suc cess. I often wonder, Polly, if 1 am not one of those unfortunates who need a leader—someone to enthuse and urge me on by their own good example. If someone is witlime whois wide-awake and active, and above all who has the will power to enable them to accomplish whatever they set out to do, as long as 1 am with them I carry out my part of tlie program. I am ashamed to tell of this vascillating spirit of mine, but I have it, nevertheless. Now, what would you do, Polly, to break yourself of this unenviable habit?" A RIOT IN TITLES. Elaborate < luN«lflea«loa of Haak Tbsl Rule« In Denmark. The Danish classification of rank Is a very elaborate one, built up of of fices, orders, birth and titles, writes J. Brochner In “Danish Life In Town and Country." There are ulue classes, which are divided Into as many as a dozen subsections, each of which may again comprise a score or two of dlf- ferent titles and offices, yet there was a tomplaint In one of the Danish papers tin* other day tliat It was anything but complete. Holders of titles have to pay an an nual tax ranging from $44.50 in the first class to a miserly $8.38 in the ninth. There are about a score of dif ferent titles, several of which are again divided Into ‘Teal" and “others,” the "real" being several shades better than the "others.” These titles are always used in con versation, as, for example, “Will not the chamberlain have a cigar?” or "Mr. Chamberlain, will you not have a cigar?” And it requires a fairly clear head and a gixxl memory to give everybody Ills due in n large party, especially as some of them are deco rously long, as, for instance, gehelme- conferentsraad. Then there are ladies, who generally have “inde” (the English "ess”) added to their husbands’ title or office. A colonel’s wife, for Instance, is calk'd oberstinde, and the wife of the cham berlain to the king kammerherrelnde, and so forth. But the subtleties of the additional titular address in writing even excel the verbal form. That persons of the first rank are “excellencies” is only natural, but gentlemen of the second class have on documents address«xl to them a ‘‘high well born” prefixed to their title and name, and those of the third class a “high and well born.” I much regret that I cannot explain why the addition of this “and” should somewhat detract from the value of the same words. Gentlemen of the ninth class are ad dressed as “well honorable and well bred,” which is, I think, almost more than they could expect for their $3.33.
