Az English lioel on Americans.

a dealer in gloves and gcntlcmon's fuv
furnishings, whose shop is in tho Grand
Hotel building, Charing Cross, grew quite
communicative in q half hours conversil-
ton. He expressed great admiration for
America and tho achievements Of Ameri-
cans, but he sid that be thought that
Americans were snowy and shallow and
not thorough and genuine. Americans
will como hero and buy elegant neckwcar
and fine gloves. Everything that is to be
seen must LOOK well, but when it comes to
buying underwear or things that are not
seen nine out of every ten Americans don {
care what they have. They do not want
beautiful OR elegant undertaking. Ihave
had Americans worth their millions como
in and pay good prices for fine externais
who want lower grade OF such wearing
apparel Us is not seen than keep. do
not understand this. They arc Il great pco-
pie, ard they can do moro than we can,
but think that they are pretentious and
SNOWY rather than substantial and gen.
uine. You have not developed gentlemen
in your country. Now and then I sec an
American gentleman, and, when I do.
SEQ more of lord than cur dukes but the
mass of your countrymen have not yet be-
como geutlemon. l don't mean that their
manners arc bad, or that they are mean,
bat that they pretend more than they are. "

Jaci,ais Are Cautious.

Sir e. Tennent, the writer of Natural
History OF Ccylon," says: "At dusk and
after nightfall a pack of jackals, having
watched hare or a small deer take refuge
in one of these retreats, Immediately sur.
rounded it on all sides, and having sta
toned "a few to watch the path by which
the game entered the leader commenced
tho attack by raising the cry peculiar to
his race, and which resembles the sound
'okkay,' loudly and rapidly repeated. The
whole party then rush into the jungle and
drive out the victim, which generally falls
into the ambush previously laid to en-
trap 1t.
"A native gentleman who had favora-
bic opportunities of observing tho move
ments OF these animals informed me that
when jackal has brought down his game
and killed it his first impulse is to hide 1t
in the nearest jungle, whence he issues
with an air of easy Indifference to observe
if anything moro powerful than himself
may be at hand from which he might en-
counter tho risk of being despoiled Of his
capture. II the coast is clear, no returns
to tho concealed carcass and carries it
away, followed by his companions. But
if a man be in sight CT any other animal
to be avoided, my informant has seen the
jackal seize cocoanut husk in his mouth
or any similar substance and fly at full
speed, rs if eager to carry of his pretended
prize, returning for the real booty ut some
more convenient season."

Rogers, Sharp Tongue.

Rogers and Luttrell were sauntering
through the Louvre together when some
ladies accosted the former gentleman. A
few words We're exchanged, followed by
formal bows and they parted. Luttrell
rejoined his friend, saying: 1T is q Gu
rious thing. One of those ladies came up
to me and said, Is your name Luttrell? -
And was it," said Rogers. This peculiar
rejoinder conveyed a sncer that perhaps
10 other than the mordant tongue of Rog
ors could have uttered. The only wonder
is that it vas forgiven.
We learn from the "Grcville Memoirs
that Rogers and Luttrell were Away:
bracketed Observation-Disclosures friends-sel
dom apart and always hating, abusing
and ridiculins each other
The covert snccr conveyed in the words,
"Was it your namc?'' is explained by tho
fact that the society wit, who delighted
two generations by his brilliant talk, wa.
natural son of Lord Carhampton. Ii
early life the earl was known Us the Colo
