Among many foreigners. especial,

AS often rs this happened the porter
would give a swift glance at the face of
the man against whom he jostled. and
if it was one whose swarthy complexion
indicated Spanish origin, he would
murner softly and deferentially, "Con
permisso, senior, BY your leave, sir.
If, however, the "obstructionist" bore
the unmistakable features of an Anglo
Saxon, the porter merely growled in a
cultural voice, 'Out the way thar, boss. Z"
He gained his object in either case,
but the observant traveller was COM
PEELED to admit that the mellow, sibilant
tones of the Spanish phrase Jared less
unpleasantly upon his feelings, as well
as upon his auditory nerves, than the
harsher accent of his mother tongue.

a Delicious Fish In the East.

"One of the queerest fishes in the
world is the gouramis," said an ichthyo-
logist. sit is native to the fresh waters
of Cochin China, Farther India, Java,
Sumatra and Borneo. Specimens have
been known to attain a length of six
feet and weight of 10 pounds. The
flesh is so delicious that efforts have
been made to acclimatize the creatures
in many other countries, but thus far
these attempts have been successful only
ON the island of Mauritius.
About thirty of them were imported
into the island of Cuba and planted in
ponds some years ago, but, although
they grew and were healthy, they did
not breed. Accordingly, after awhile
the prospects of propagating the species
became so hopeless that the governor
had them served up one by one upon his
table upon state occasions. The same
difficulty has been met with elsewhere.

A Patriotic Landlord.

OF all Irish landlords perhaps none
was more popular with his tenants than
the Earl of Leitrim. AS an instance OF
what may be termed his approachability,
it may be stated that ON the birth of his
second son an old woman on the estate
called at Manorvaughan to offer her
congratulations and, remarBing TO the
earl that this was ''the first of the breed"
born ON Irish soil, suggested that the
boy should be called pat" The earl
good naturally said he might do so, and
accordingly the child bears the name of
Hon. Francis Patrick.
1t is characteristic of the same mans
determination and resource that at on
time he voluntarily did duty in the
engine room of small coasting steamer,
which he had established for trading
purposes along the Donegal coast, for a
period of three weeks when he was
without an engineer.-London Tit-Bits.

F. A. Morton, who lives q mile or SO

two steel traps for his owlship and sue
ceeded in capturing him. The trap was
tied with fifteen feet of rope, and in his

the owl had knocked several rails off the

A Cup That Tells of Poison.

The rhinoceros horn cup was once
supposed to indicate the presence of any
kind of poison. 1t is no longer employed
in that capacity, and many persons sup
pose that the use of such an article was
purely a superstition. 1t had its foun-
dation, however. in a scientific fact.
Most poisons are acid, and acid of any
kind poured into rhinoceros horn cup
will at once bubble and effervesce. II
is exceedingly curious that such an ap-
parent superstition had its foundation in
such fact, but perhaps the ancients
knew more about such things than we
give them credit for.-New York Jour-
