UndipIomatic Diplomat.

There is stOryof exemplary Ameri-
can kindness of heart and absolute lack
of all the fine nothings of etiquette
which are the very breath of courts and
diplomatic life. The story concerns a
former American minister to st. Pc
tersburg at one of the elaborate and
very formal receptions or levees which
the emperor and empress give on New
Years day. Ale the diplomats stand in
line in their order of precedence,
and their majesties walk down the
line to exchange greetings with each
in turn. On this occasion the empress,
now the dowager, was not present, hAv-
ing just given birth to one of the
younger princesses. 1t seems also that
the good wife of the American was at
home occupied with a similar domestis
duty. The emperor came down tie
line and asked after the health of cash
of the gentlemen present, at the SEINE
time exchanging the usual seasonable
greetings. So when he came to the
American he did not ask the usual
question: Il hope you have good news
from home?" Of course he had and

A few nights ago Mark Twain told

which he failed to incorporate in Life

when ne started on trip down the
river on a fla boat he was advised never
to answer the questions asked by river
men on other boats and never to handy
words with them, as he would be sure
always to come out second best. He
followed the advice re.igiously for q
time. but one day he thought he saw
a chance to get the better of river
man. who called out:
Hey, thar, what yer loaded with?'
"Jackasses. Don't you want to come
aboard?" yelled back Twain.

er it would ever be my good fortune
to sit in this garden again, and to sip
my Orange Pekoe from the same
dainty service. The thought that 1
might not do so was, strangely
enough, an unpleasant one, and put
it from me with all promptness. Dur
ing the meal, Kitwater scarcely Ut
tered a word. We had exhausted the
probabilities of the case long since,
and soon found that he could think
or talk of nothing else. At six
o'clock 1 prepared to make my
adieux. My train left Bishopstowe
for London at the half-hour, and 1
should just have time to walk the
distance comfortably. To my de-
light my hostess decided to go to
church, and said she would walk
with me as far as the lych-gate. She
accordingly left us and went into the
house to make her toilet. AS soon
as she had gone Kitwater fumbled
