Kept His Head.

Es is not safe to joke among an orien- tA1 people unless you understand their manners and customs. Lord Charles Beresford, who accompanied the Prince of Wales in India, relates & funny inci- dent of the journey, which just escaped being a tragic one.
 "We were elephant shooting in Cey- lon" he says, land were driving back to Colombo, when the horses in the waRonette showed signs of fatigue. Lord Aylesbury, who was on the box, took the reins from our Tamil coach- man. whereupon the animals swerved just as we were crossing rude bridge, and the whole equipage, passengers and all. were precipitated into the nullah below.
 "Ho one was hurt I playfully be- labored the coachman with a bundle of elephants' tails and then told him to mount the box. At the same time I turned 10 the Malay sergeant and said in solemn tones:
 "'Cut that mans head off.
 He. thinking it an awful crime to upset the prince, instantly drew his sa- ber and rushed at the coaohman.
 Fortunately the coachman under stood English and scrambled on to a ledge of rock out of reach. Seeing that my joke had nearly caused catastrophe, I called out to the sergeant:
 "'The prince has graciously pardoned him. Let him come down.
 So the coachman kept his head on his shoulders, and there was no harm done, but if he had not understood English and had not got out of the wayi As our English friends themselves are wont to remark, "Only fawncyr'

Half Kanlr. Half EnxiIshmAn.

If, as ia sometimes held, though we ourselves are very strongly of the oppo- site opinion, the Hottentots and Bush- men of South Africa are not human creatures caught in the very act of de- veloping from lower forms, but are the result of degeneration from some higher type, then the creature resulting from a cross between the two might revert to the higher type and be of higher social feeling and intellectual power than either. We have ourselves in only one instance met an individual who was 8 cross between the English and Kaffir races, though we know that several such exist in South Africa. This man was certainly merely a composite of the two races, without any tendency to rever- sion. He was the son of an English gen tleman; his mother was a Kaffir woman who had not been draggled under the feet of civilization.
 The man was proud, determined, reao- lute. Self educated. he raised himself to 6 post of high trust under the Eng fish government He combined the dash and courage of the Kafir with the pride and intelligence of the Englishman. He had the fault, which is common to both bis parent races, of being cruel and indomitable when opposed, but of the vices supposed to be inseparable from half castim-servility and insin- cerity-he had not trace. He was a man and a gentleman. But whether if Euch crosses were common such men would often arise is quite another quea. tion.-FortniRhtly Review.

A DAY IN BED.

Am Experiment. That Few Healthy People
 Have Timo or Dispoaition to Try.
 One often hears somebody say with Slee that he is going to take day of or day in the country or a day on thu river, but seldom if ever that he is go- ing to take 8 day in bed. and yet 8 day SO spent when one really needs a day of is one which deserves Q red letter record in his history, according to 8 writer in the Pittsburg Times. One lies late of Sunday mornings and tells what a lux ury 1t is not to have to get up at the usual hour. but one never knows the glory of such a thing till be spends a whole day in bed. To enjoy it one must not be sick nor pretend to be. He must be in fairly good health and free from trouble or worry of any sort. Then he Is entirely himself, and it is the only place in which he can be.
 As soon as be dresses he comes under restraint. not merely physical, but mental, for no one can wholly escape the influence of his clothes, whether they be good or bad, in fashion or out. For ages character has been identified with clothes and will be for ages, in spite of all that has been or will be said against it. One may not always be con- scious of the influence, but it exists all the same. Not trace of it is felt when one is in bed. There be is free. He can twist and roll and kick and throw his arms about as he will. If he should do the like elsewhere, there would be sus- picion of his sanity. A day in bed is not day of rest merely, but of liberty. He has the infinite for his own.
 Not a few of Pope's best lines came to him while in bed. Thomson composed his finest description of natural scenery while in bed. A like thing doubtless may be said of the humorists. There is little doubt that the liveiiest jokes cur rent were thought out while their au- thors were in bed. The blood flows free ly then, digestion does its perfect work. the mind is relieved of the care of the body, the imagination and fancy roam the earth and skies and gather of their treasures, the inscriptions. on the tablets of memory come out, and incident HHd adventure recur in a light of their own. suggesting new ideas and relations. One never knows what life is till he has spent day iD bed, in full or fair health, without a thought save those which come smiling to him in his rest.

The sturdiness of the north and its rather grim self will are admirably H. lustrated by two Yorkshire anecdotes. A landlord of very old family proposed to make an alteration in one of his tenants farm buildings, which the tenant de- clined to permit, whereupon the land lord remarked very mildly that, after all, the building was his own. There. upon the tenant rejoined, May. my forefather went to the crunades with your forefather, and you ahan't touch . stone of it |"
 Again, a daughter of ono of the lead. ing citizens of g Yorkshire town hinted to her fathers gardener that the family would like to appropriate the greenhouse to the purposes of winery. whereupon she was told to let her father know 'he may just choose betwixt me and the grapes" Of course ths proposal wal abandoned
