4 queer story is told by Mr. Andrew Lang. The incident came under his oN n notice and occurred under the bridge over the Lochy, below the Ben Nevis Long John distillery. From this tale it is obvious that animals are only sober from lack of wit to obtain alcohol:
 "That establishment disgorges into a burn quantity of refuse no doubt al- coholio. When we crossed the bridge in the morning to fish. the ducks from the farm opposite were behaving in drunk. en and disorderly manner-fying, beat ing the water. diving, spluttering and greediIy deveuring the stuff from the distillery. Their antics were funny, but vulgar. By 9 o'clock we found the ducks sleeping off the effects of their debaueh. We awakened them, and they all staggered eagerly to a bucket of wa ter, from which they quenched the tor ments of thirst. A small sea bird behav- ed in still more deplorable way. He slowly drifted down the Lochy from the fatal intoxicating hurn, nor oould peb- bles Judiciously thrown at him induce him to take the wing. He tried to dive, making efforts comic and unsuccessful.

Delicious snaais of Provence.

The Provencai snails, which feed in & gourmet fashion upon vine leaves. are peculiarly delicious, and there was a murmur of delight from our company as the four women brought to the table four big dishes full of them, and for a while there was only the sound of eager munching, mixed with the chatter on china of the empty shells. To extract them we had the strong thorns, three or four inches long. of the wild acacia, and on these the little brown morsels were carried to the avid mouths and eaten with bit of bread sopped in the sauce, and then the shell was subjected to a vigorous sucking, that not drop of sauce lingering within it should be lost.
