but he was OF a martial disposition. After haV-
ing carefully examined the ribbon he started his
war dance, and kept II up with great VISor for
some minutes. Just while he was at the height
of his enjoyment a larger cassowary came up
and interfered with him.
He stood this for some time hut when the
larger bird attempted To oust him from the spot
in order that ne in turn might prance about the

The large cassowary. thinking apparently that

latter. The two very III matched re

The celebrated Marble arch, one Of
London's most notable landmarks, is
shortly to be demolished, though the
reason for such an act has not yet been

built by George Nv at cost Of $4,000

many years. But as the gateway to the

Generous Emneror.

One of the invariable habits Of the
German emperor Is to send the game
that he shoots as presents to the va
rious ambassadors accredited to his
court or to ministers and great digni-
taries of his household.
Awhile ago he gave directions that
particularly fine boar which he had
laid low with his rifle should be sent to
the Turkish ambassador, entirely for.
getting that the latter's religion pro-
hibited his eating the flesh of swine,
although the animal was shot while In
the wild state.
His excellency accepted the gift, for
he considered, of course, that it would
be discourteouS to refuse an Imperial
gift or to draw the attention of the
monarch to the mistake that he had
made.
He thought. however, that there was
no reason why he should not turn an
honest penny by it, for Turkish diplo-
mats are generally in chronic state
of financial difficulties. Accordingly
he sold 1t to a game dealer, who hung
1t up In his shop window and embel'
lished 1t by a huge placard, gay with
ribbons, upon which was written that
this superb animal had been shot by
his majesty the emperor.

Origin of the Abbott Kiss--A Gener-

osculatory event known to fame as the
"Abbott kiss" Mr.. Morrissey directed
this great song birds tours for many
years, and upon a suggestion that came
to him induced her to try the long
drawn out kiss, which Is directly re-
sponsible for many similar osculatory
exhibitions which have been made by
equally prominent stars. Morrissey was
telling few friends the other evening
the origin of that famous kiss.
