Etiquette by Precedent. .
For example of how uieD may live

dress and royal fuuctlous reach down
heavy volumes to see what was done
on such and such an occasion. Beau
tiful pictures showing with minute ex
actness the details of the court cos
tume under various circumstances are
ready to their bands. Is the shab of
Persia coming? is the kaiser soon to
arrive? Is the king going to receive
tbe 'monarch of Slam? Is one of tbe
royal princesses to be married? When
any of these events happens the offi
clals at the lord chamberlain's office
know exactly - what to do. And if
some point should crop up" which has
not been raised for a century or mqr

Th Social Breakfast.
A London uewspaper wouders why
we no longer invite people to break
fast. The reason Is tobe found lu the
state of mind that usually possesses
the free aud Independent citizeu at
that hour In tbe moniiug. a state of
mind that makes blm unbearable to
himself aud to every one who comes
near him. Presumably It was not ever
so, for invitations to breakfast were
once common enough, and not so long
ago either. .Mr. Gladstone used to
have guests to breakfast every Thurs
day morning as recently as 18S4. and
It was thought sufficient to supply tea
and coffee. ;gs, bread aud butter and
perhaps some cold meat. Hut the
really solid breakfast had come lute
fashion long before then, nnd It, Is
said that the Euirlish learned the fash
ion from the Scotch. Motley, when he
was ambassador to England, found
that the substantial breakfast was
evously opposed to the simpler cus

Big Clocks.
The big clock of the Metropolitan
tower at Madison square. New York.
is by long odds the costliest and most
elaborate public timepiece ever con
structed and Is the only great clock in
the world operated wholly by electric
ity without the touch of bunion bands.
Some of Its other wonders are Its size
being the largest four dial tower clock
and tbe third largest clock of any size
in tbe world, and its altitude, which
is the highest of any clock In the
world. It bas also the biggest and
heaviest striking bell.
Tbe other three largest clocks are
the one face dial of the Colgate fac
tory in Jersey City, which is forty feet
across, the next in size of mammoth
public chronometers being the dial at
St. Bombort's. lu tbe old city of Ma
llnes. in Belgium, which Is tbirty-nlue
feet across. St. Peter's of Zurich,
Switzerland, has a dial face twenty
nine feet, aud then lu order comes tbe
Metropolitan tower clock, which Is
