Poor King jain.

The body of King Jaja of Opobo,
who, for his savagery, was trans
ported by the British to the West
Indies, where he died, was lately
taken back to his home. When the
steamer arrived in the Opobo Rivel
she was met by fleet of sixty wal
canoes filled with Jaja's warriors,
clothed in full costume. The Queens
Commissioner handed oyer the body
of the King to his former subjects
who took it to his old palace. There
the coffin was opened to satisfy the
people that Jaja was dead. Then the

stJaCkO."

"Jacko' is a tame rock, whose
owner, a lady, writes to the London
Spectator that she had kept him for
five years, when one afternoon she
noticed him march by her two or
three times with a stick in his mouth.
He was hard at work on the founda-
tiOn of Il nest. For Il fortnight he
worked almost without cessation all
day long.
l really felt sorry for him, and
sometimes tried to help him by hold
ing up sticks one at a time, which he
took from my hand as he wanted
them. When at last the nest was
! finished he often had his afternoon
nap in it.
There is a small rookery here. and
this year, instead OF building on his
own account, Jacko tried to help the
wild rooAs. He followed them about
with a twig in his beak, and kept
with them all day, often running
after them on the lawn with some Of
his dinner in his beak, wanting to
feed them as he feeds the tame Jack
daw, between whom and himself
there is Il strong affection. But they
snubbed him dreadfully.
One day poor social JACKIE must
have thought he had at last found a
responsive companion, for I found
him bowling and cawing to the rock
in the looking-glass! And more than
once since then he has been seer 90
ing upstairs with some delicacy in
his beak evidently intended for his
shadowy love.
Once while I was calling on a friend.
a lady whom 1 did not know came in.
She owns a roollery, and my friend
vold her of mine, adding that 1 was
fond of rocks.
"Ah," said she, $50 am I. 1 often
say that through the season we al.
most live on rock pie"
When / suggested that I should not;
like seeing my rocks IN a pie, her
really delightful answer was, "No.
some people prefer them stewed."

Table Manners.

The Japanese waitress is evidently
Il creature full of liindlincss and win
ming graccs. Sir Edwin Arnold met.
her at IL dinner at Japan, where she
contributed greatly by her tact and
courtesy, to the success of the occa-
sion. TO each guest there entered Il
pretty, bright, wcll-dresscd Japanese
waitress, with hair dcckcd s'to the
%nincs," stuck full of flowers and
jcwclcd pins, and shining like pol
ished black marble.
She never speaks or settles to any
serious duty of the entertainment
without falling on her little knees,
smoothing her skirt over them, and
knocking her nice little flat nose on
the floor, and will either dcmurely
watch you use your clopsticks, in re-
spcctful silence. or prcttily converse,
and even offer her advice as to the
most succulcnt dishes, and the best
order in which to do them justice.
1t is not so very difficult to use the
chopsticks, those simple knives and
forks of Eastern Asia, if once you
learn the secret of the guiding
finger between them. Otherwise, you
will drop the first mouthful from the
soup-bowl on your shirt front, to the
gentle but satirical laughter OF
your waitress.
Amid the talk which buzzcsaround,
you will have inquired of her already,
''What is your honorable name?" and
"Ilow many are your honorable
years." and she will have told you
that she is s'Miss Star" ssMiss
Camellia," or s'Miss Antelope" and
that she was eighteen o~rothcrwisc on
her last birthday.
She counscls you to seize that tiny
lump of yellow condiment with your
chopsticks, to drop it in the soy, ia
stir up and flavor these with the pink
flakes of salmon, and yet get on fam
ously, watched by her with the warm
est personal interest.
Now and again she shuflcs forward
on her small knees to fill your cup OF
to rcarrange the confusion into which
your little bowls and p%lattcrs have
somehow fallen, always with Il con.
summatc grade, modcsty and good
breeding. With the condiments her
little fingers have mixed, the un-
cooked trout is so good that you cease
presently to feel like Il voracious seal.
