Venezuelan EtiOUette.

For some time now the world has
been looking at Venezula with more
than ordinary interest. This gives
timeliness to paragraph from a re-
cent number of the Evangelist.
In regard to the multiplicity Of "gen-
erals in the Venezuelan army, it has
been observed that these worthless, SO
numerous as to be almost omnipres-
ent, are the only men who are allowed
to wear their swords at official recep-
tons.
The major Of an English regiment,
being about to pay a call Of ceremony
upon the governor Of an interior prov
ince, asked his servant for his sword,
intending to put it on with his uni
form
The mozo grimly inquired his ranG
in the army, and on being told, OBJ
served that officers of that grade in
Venezuela were not allowed to wear
swords through the streets on visits
of ceremony; but he added that he, the
servant, holding the rank of general
in the army, could wear his own
sword, and hand it over to his master
at the governors palace.

With Variations.

The way of the philanthropist, Of
whom the author of "A Third Pot
Pourri" tells, seems unduly hard. The
philanthropist, who was gentle old
lady of Exeter, England, got hold Of a
manned sailor, who moved her to
great pity. To help him along she pur-
chased a tray on which he was to ex-
pose gingerbread for sale.
She gave him a start in gingerbread,
also the privilege Of standing before
her most respectable residence to cry
his wares. In addition, she composed
and taught him the following words
to repeat at intervals:
"Will any good, kind Christian buy
some fine, spicy gingerbread Of a poor,
afflicted old man"
The first morning the sailor sold a
shilling's worth Of gingerbread in a
short time, and his success went to his
head. Pretty soon, from his station
on the pavement IN front Of the gen.
tie old lady's house, his voice foated
In to her in this appeal:
"Will any poor, afflicted Christian
buy some good, kind gingerbread Of
a fine, spicy old man"
Despite this sadly mixed cry, trade
