But consuls are not members of the diplomatic ser- vice; they are merely commercial agents. Neither our consuls abroad nor consular representatives to this country have the right to the cock- ade, as consuls. Its adaption by an American citizen who represented a foreign country as consular agent in this city was authorized neither by usage nor good taste. That his fam- ily should continue to use it after his death is ridiculous vulgarity. Ser. vants of officers of the United States There being no set rule in any coun- try from which we have been in the habit of adopting social customs, it remains for us to follow the law that usage and good form has laid down. They have prescribed that the serv- ants of ambassadors and foreign min- isters of the United States abroad shall wear cockades, like the servants of foreign diplomats accredited to this country, the cockades of the coach- man and footman giving the carriages a certain right or way. Ambassadors and ministers are entitled to the cock- The black cockade. now worn in England, was originally the distinctive badge of the House of Hanover, as the white cockade was that of the House of Stuart. It is said white was adopted by the adherents of the Stuarts because it was the emblem of the kings of France, who supported the Stuarts against the Hanoverians. The cockade worn by servants of the British royal household is a large half-disk which projects above the hat. Servants of naval officers wear a disk not projecting above the hat; those of army officers and other persons con- sidering themselves entitled to carry cockades are fan-shaped, with a but- ton, and they reach above the hat. The cockades of the servants of diâ€" plomats are in the colors of the coun- try their masters represent, and many noble houses on the continent of Eur- Ope make their servants wear cock- ades matching their livery in color. When, many years ago, the war as to whose servants were entitled to a. cockade was raging in England, the facts discovered were that no orders regulating their use were known to exist, but it was recorded that ser- vants of officers of the London City Light Horse, a volunteer regiment, did not wear them. The conclusion ar- rived at was that the cockade was originally purely a military distinc- tion; that the reason it was worn by servants of field officers was that, in former days, these servants had served in the army, that it was later ; adapted by servants who had never! been in the army, and afterward by l servants of naval officers. the tuft ot cook’s plumes worn by the Croatian soldiers, who in the seven- teenth century served under France, and introduced the cravat to the world of fashion. At any rate, in 1688, men ambitious to become soldiers of France receiVed cockades of paper; hence the expression, “prendrel a. cocarde," mean- ing “to enlist." Cockades appear to have fallen into innocuous desuetude, so far as France was concerned, until the Revolution, when the “cocarde tricolor” must have become obligatory, for, just before the fall of Robesplerre, arrests were made for not wearing it. “Cockade,” or, rather, the French equivalent of it, made its first appear- ance in the phrase “bonnet a la co- quarde” of Rabelais. About sixty years after Rabelais’s death, Randle Cotgrave, author of the first Anglo- French dictionary, defined “coquarde.” now “cocarde,” as “a Spanish cappe or fashion or bonnet, used by the most substantial men of yoreâ€"also any bonnet or cappe worn proudly or peartly on the side.” But the most plausible origin given of the cockade 01 to-day is that it was derived from Navyâ€"including the militia. and vol- unteersâ€"and to servants or justices and deputy lieutenants of counties. According to this unwritten law of custom. neither peers nor other per- sons of title, except they be royal, can confer the cockade on their servants unless they themselves hold one at the commissions already named. And here comes a. strange anomaly: if they occupy a. Government position, they can wear a cockade, although their servants cannot. President Roosevelt for his M- man and tootmen has resusci- tate-d the old question: Whose ser- vants are entitled to wear a occlude 1 As a. matter of fact, there is no right her title to the cockade, but usage has. in England. where the cockade 13 THE W10! of the cockade h!

Then I shinned “It must have been an hour later that I woke up and found myself cov- ered with two feet or leaves snug as the babes in the wood. I was all tucked in that cosy that nobody else could have done it Ibut a cougar, and most likely a female cougar at that. It occurred to me with some force that I'd been filed away for future refer- ence, and that I hadn't waked up any too soon. It didn't soothe me to figure on that cougar stowlng me away as a dog hides a bone. “It was warm and dry, and along in the middle of the afternoon I be- gan to plne for rest and a pipe.

A hunter who was trailing after bear meat in British Columbia re- ports to the “Western Sportsman” an experience which he calls a. “narrow graze." It the incident hap- pened as the hunter tells it, it was in- deed a narrow graze; but one cannot help suspecting that some of the invig- orating ozone of the North-West has got into the story. Nevertheless, it is worth hearing. Thousands of people in Vienna live in such terror of the house-master that, it is said, they never make an apple-hart without giving him halt. In some cases the house-master is more powerful than in 'others. An English resident was obliged to move from an apartment that he particuâ€" larly liked because he could not ven- ture to speak with any degree of sharpness to the man at the door, even when the man was remiss in his du- ties. The flat was owned by a rail- way belonging to the State. This made the house-master a State official, an insult to whom is a very serious of- fence in Vienna. A reprimand for de- laying letters would be construed into an insult, and the Englishman deemed it wise to move to other quarters. The house-master also collects and keeps duplicate copies of the forms on which every individual in the house must report to the pol-ice his age. birthplace and religion, his exact oc- cupation, and other personal details which the Austrian authorities insist upon knowing. Nor does the power of this important personage end even here. From the little guard-room which he occupies at the foot of the stairs he sees every one who goes in or out. He ascertains with amazing accuracy the amount of each tenant's income, the events of his family life, and the character of his visitors. His far-reaching power enables him to ter- rorize every servant in the house into entering his intelligence department. and thus he spies on the innermost life of the subjects in his five-storey kingdom. on a floor, so that it is not unusual to find a hundred persons living under one roof. There is one common en- trance trom the street, and after ten o’clock at night this door is bolted and barred. From ten until twelve all who go in or out must pay four cents. At- ter twelve the charge ls doubled. The tax must be paid every time one passes through the doorway, without exception. It a man has occasion to go in and out half a dozen times. he must pay every time. One who has dined with a friend must, if he stay late, pay four cents to get out of his friend’s house, and four more to get into his own. A telegram in the night. necessitates the payment of the tax before the boy can enter. The citizen of Vlonna who does not wish to be out of pocket must keep early hours. for after ten o’clock the is taxed on entering hi: own house, or. for the matter of that. any house. The “sperrgeld,” or door- opening tax, is peculiar to Vienna, as 6LA 7A-, ' -vâ€"v-wâ€" the London “Express" explains. The entire population of that city, num- bering nearly two millions, are prac- tically imprisoned in their houses from ten o’clock in the evening until six the next morning. They can go in or out only by paying at least: four cents to the Janitor or “house-master," as he is called. Vienna is built on the “flat" or apart- ment-house plan. Millionaires and working people alike live in houses of this description. The houses are large, having five or six floors, with four flats Buried by a Cougar. Despot of Vienna.
