Dinner With Austrian Emperor.

The Emperor Francis Joseph has
a rule of life which greatly perturbs
some members of his court. He
dimes every day at half past s, and
he has done this since the beginning
of his reign. AS that hour does not
suit everybody, it follows that the
personages who are honored with in
vitations to dine with the emperor
find it very difficult to muster an
appetite for dinner at tea time. They
suffer in silence for the most part,
but it is said that a certain great
lady resolved to act.
She was invited to dine with the
emperor, but she sat at table and
ate nothing. The kindly sovereign
feared she was indisposed. No, she
was quite well. Then why did she
send every dish away? "Sire," she
answered, 81 never eat between
meals" The repartee has had a
success at Vienna. But the emperor
still dimes at half past 5, without
the society of that great lady,

HAIRY ELEPHANTS.

The skin Of the elephant is prac-
tlcally destitute of the hairy coat
which is the distinctive covering of
mammals. But the extinct NAM
moth had an undercoat of reddish
brown woolly fur, in which dark,
bristly hairs were thickly set. Both
wool and hair have been found with
remains III the frozen soil of Siberia.
Some years since traces of this fur
were discovered in the Indian ele-
phant, and from time to time indi-
viduals occur in which the hairs are
developed to such an extent as to be
noticeable by casual observers.
A natural history journal has call
ed attention to the fact that there
is now hairy elephant in the Zoo
logical gardens at Basic. So thick
Is the growth that at the congress of
biologists at Berne in August, 1904,
the remark was made-of course in
Jest-that the animal was really a
mammoth. Rustum, an Indian ele-
plant that lived in the Regents
Park gardens from 1876 to 1882,
when it was presented to the Berlin
gardens, was almost as hairy. The
calf born in London in 1902 had a
hairy coat, as may be seen from its
mounted skin in the Natural Histo-
ry museum.-London Telegraph.

This the visitor proceeded to do,

Within Walled Gardens.

Many travellers in China ask
"Where are the children? The only
little people we see are the beggars'
children" The reason for the APP
parent scarcity of little almond eyed
Celestials in China, explains st.
Nicholas, is that all the children
who have parents are kept indoors
or within walled gardens. However,
on New Years day, which is cele-
brated there in February, all the tots
are decked out in their best clothes
and go for a walk or to the theater
with their parents.
