Lord Roberts, Dish of orto1ans.

When Lord Roberts was out in India
he went to visit a hill station where
there was much difficulty in securing
variety of food. In fact, as far as
meat went, the officers were practical
ly reduced to living on ortolans, which,
as every one knows, are tiny birds
much esteemed as a table delicacy On
the evening on which the commander
in chief arrived he was asked what
he would like for breakfast. what is
there?" asked the visitor. "Well," was
the answer, 1--WE have ortolans." "That
will do" replied Lord Roberts. "Let
me have some ortolans." Now, the Of
ficer who superintendent these matters
was in the habit of going out every
morning and shooting his own ortolans,
but as he was busy on this occasion
with extra parade and staff duties he
gave his gun and cartridges to his
"boy" bidding him go out and shoot as
many ortolans as possible for breakfast.
The "boy" went off and after a time
returned, not with dainty ortolans, but
with common hedge sparrows. There
was nothing for it but to serve them
up, and when the cover was removed,
10 and behold thirty sparrows cooked
ON toast! The commander in chief, it
is said, ate four of them with a good
appetite and without making any OBJ
rvations.-London NJ. A. p.

Very Easy For Her.

"A "woman's reason" with all it's ira
ditional lack of logic, came out in an
amusing fashion at a recent dinner
party in Brooklyn.
In the course of the evening the con-
versation drifted around to those odd
little mathematical bits of the "How
old is Ann?' variety. when one of the
company, with explanations that the
next problem would not be a very diff
ficult one, questioned as follows:
eff bottle and a cork together cost
81 10 and the bottle cost dollar more
than the cork, how much did the cork
cost!"
Almost instantly one of the ladies
was ready with the answer:
'.Why, the cork cost cents and the
bottle $1.05. That's too easy"
The lady's husband, familiar through
years of experience with her woeful
lack of skill in figures, looked up in
establishment.
"Heayensp' he exclaimed. How did
you come TO get that so soon?'
why, my DEAR" was the reply,
"corks always cost 5 cents, don't they? 2"

A Bit of Curran,s wit.

An Irishman loves a joke SO well
that he keeps the memory of good
one always green. In a book of recol-

parliament is an amusing illustration
of Curran's ready wit.

famous for the alacrity with which he

by one herdsman and is answered by

of the time. No one has had a chance to
see more of the fire than I. My right eye
is burned from hot cinder; outside of
that l am not scratched. We had some
very close calls, however. I ran away
from one wall that landed not ten feet
behind me and once l had to dive
through the flames to get out. All in
all it was the graudest and most terrible
scene / ever hope to witness. / think in
the last "a hours we administered first
aid to over 200 persons. When the city
hospital was in danger they moved so OF
their patients here and those, with the
fire cases, made our hospital the most
crowded l ever saw. l witnessed men
and women in front of banks crying
and pleading for the money they had
inside, and when valuables were removed
those doing so were escorted by men
with drawn revolvers as guards. 1t

three days.
