TITLES 111 GERMANY.
T h ey A re N um erous and V aried and
A re T aken Very Seriously.
T itle giving and title bearing in
Germany ere made a serious busi­
ness. I t is dangerous to assume one
th a t doee not belong to you, and it
ia almost equally dangerous to with­
hold one from a man to whom it
does belong.
The following is an address which
is probably written thousands of
times a week in Germany, since it
is a courtesy due to a well known
official whose rank is far below that
of a minister of state :
“Highly Reverenced Mr. Real
Privy Councilor, Highly to Be Rev­
erenced Mr. President.”
The title councjjor has four de­
grees, thus: Positive, councilor;
comparative, higher councilor; au-
perlative, real privy councilor, and
extra superlative, real privy coun­
cilor. Then to complicate matters
there are a hundred or more other
councilors, such as councilors of le­
gation, councilors of state, sanitary
councilors, forest councilors and
town police councilors.
Titles o t another claaa have to do
with the wearer’s occupation. Thus
a Munich newspaper records the
death of Fran So-and-ao, wife of the
“royal court theater color grinders’
assistant” In Bavarian newspapers
used to be found notices, inserted
by the persons themselves, of the
betrothal of So-and-ao, “royal su­
pernumerary hay binder’s daugh­
ter,” or of So-and-so, "bead bill­
poster’s daughter.”
When a royal personage dies his
body is spoken of with becoming
reverence as “the high corpse” or
the "moet high corpse.”
Much may be said in favor of the
German title system. For instance,
in Germany when a man takes a
prefix “doctor” he has a right to do
so. The title cannot hare been
bought, begged or self created.
Moreover, one may be sure that he
has won his title in a university and
that his doctorate does not em­
anate from an unknown seminary.
So, too, professors are such by
rank and right, conferred duly by
the state because deserved, for the
title cannot be assumed otherwise.

Tk * Wedding Ring.
Why ahould the wedding ring be
ilaced on the third finger of the
eft hand? The custom has existed
or ages, and the reason therefor
las been given as follows: Our an­
cestors found the left hand more
convenient for such ornaments than
the right, for the reason that it ia
merally less employed than the
tter. For the same reason they
chose the third instead of- another
finger. The third digit is not only
less used than the others, but is bet­
ter adapted to guard a ring against
bruises, since that finger has tbit--
! quality peculiar to itself—it cannot
\ be extended but in company with
some other finger, whereas the res*
may be singly stretched to their full

One of the best known pictures in
existence ia Sir David Wilkie’»
“Blind Fiddler.” I t is a master­
piece in its own school of painting»
and at one time perhaps no other
picture could compete with it for
popularity aa an engraving for the
sitting room wall Yet this master­
ly picture, so full.of detail and char­
acter and subtle touches of humor,
was painted when Wilkie waa only
; twenty-two.

But an even more amazing pic­
ture may be seen on the staiicase
leading up to th e picture gallery at
South Kensington. This is s pic­
ture entitled “P isano Seizing the
Inca of Pern,” which ia an amazing
rformance for a boy of sixteen,
» age which Millais had attained
when ne painted it and when it waa
exhibited at the academy. But Mil­
lais waa a marvelous boy, and some
of hia moet famous pictures, inch
aa bis “Ophelia” in the Tate gal­
lery and hia “Autumn Leaves” in
the Manchester gallery, were paint­
ed before be was twenty-one.
The fact ia that painters have
generally been a rather precocious
tribe. The famous “Young Bull,”
one of the world’s masterpieces, was
painted by Paul Potter at the age of
twenty-two. Visitor! to St. Paul’s
cathedral are never tired of looking
at Holman Hunt’s masterpiece
which han^s in the aisle, “ Behold 1
Stand at the Door and Knock,”
commonly called “The Light of the
World.” Yet they would scarcely
credit the undoubted fact that Hol­
man Hunt was barely out of his
teens when he painted the original,
which hangs in Keble college.
Hoppner, the appearance of one

only when a still more precocious
boy came on the scene that hia pre­
miership in art was snatched from
him for a time.

The Viennese who does not wish
to be oat of pocket must keep early

that, any house or apartm ent The

not peculiar to Vienna, but ia also
sound in other capitals of Europe.
The 2,000,000 residents of the
Austrian capital are practically im­
prisoned in their own homes from
10 o’clock in the evening until 6 the
next morning. They may go in or
out only by paying the equivalent of
4 cents to the janitor or, as the
Austrians call him, the house mas­
ter.
Now, Vienna is built on the flat
sr apartment house plan. Rich men
and working people alike live in
quarters of this kind. The houses
are large, having five or six floors,
usually with four flats on a floor,
so that not infrequently there will
be upward of 100 persons living un­
der one roof. There ia a common
entrance from the street, and after
10 o’clock at night th is . door is
bolted end barred.
This tax must be met every time
one passes through the doorway.
There is no exception to this rale.
A man who haa dined with a friend
must, if he stays late, pay 4 cents
to get out of his friend's house and
4 cents more to get into hia own.
A telegram in the night calls for
the payment of the tax before the
messenger can enter.
It is the function of the house
master to keep duplicate copies of
forms, on. which every individual
in the house must report to the po­
lice his age, birthplace and religion,,
his exact occupation and other per­
sonal details that the Austrian au­
thorities insist on knowing. Nor

Sir Henry Irving, whose Hamlet
was a masterpiece, often told a
good story of an incident when he
was playing the part in his early
days. While on the stage he saw
that an old lady in the front row of
the pit was weeping profusely.
Feeling flattered, he sent an attend­
ant to bring hereto him after the
performance. “ Madam,” he said
graciously when they met, "I per
ceive that my acting moved you.”
“I t did that, sir,” said the old wom­
an. “You see, I ’ve got a young son
play acting somewhere, and it broke
me all up to think that maybe he is
no better at it than you.”

“How are you this morning,
Sam ?” inquired a friend.
“ Worse than I’ve ever been,” re­
plied the judge, with a groan. “I ’m
in bad at home. When I left the
house a little while ago the chil­
dren were calling me Sam and mv
