In fact" he said. concluding a discus. sion, '1 have q joint cooked tonight, which I hope you will all sample. Of course. there's beef too-tonisht!.' Ev- cry one at the table preferred the beef. with the exception of Colonels Ward and Ian Hamilton. who ostcntatiouSly carved generous slices from the Horse. flesh.'' The dinner was nearly over when one of the servants whispered communication to Ward. Up he spranc. "I'm distressed. gentlemen" he all nounced to the startled company. "A silly mistake has been made. Those joints were mixed up somehow, and you have been eating the horse. I'm really annoyed. But l hope you'll be convinced now that the meat Is splen- did eating. I'm sure you all seemed to enjoy It." Chances were exchanged: {: mustaches were twrled. Nobody seem. ed ready with a response.

The old generation of Galloway latrds were primitive and hospita bic, t5Sace, but their conviyiality some .4res led to awkward occurrences. In former days, when roads were bad anG wheeled vehicles almost unknown, au old laird was returning from supper party with his lady mounted behind him on horseback. On crossing the river Urr al a ford at a point where 1t joins the sea the old lady dropped off, but was not missed until her husband reached his door, when, of course, there was an immediate search made. The party who were dispatched in quest of her arrived just in time to find her demonstrating, with the advancing tide, which trickled into her mouth, in these words: "No anither drap, neither het nor cauld." london Tit-Bits.

Iceland From a Lava Wall.

The general impression that Iceland Is cold country is q false one says a writer in Travel Magazine. In Reyk' tavik, the capital of the island, I one day pcrched myself on one of the lava walls and looked at a scene of summer warmth and beauty. Familiar cows and cats and hens were busy in the sunshine. Children. ,thinly clad. were playing about with shouts of merri- ment Potatoes were in full blossom. and cabbage and various vegetables added to the sense of homelike comfort But such days are oases in vast deserts of rain, for if Iceland in summer is not cold it is not comfortable.

Even old Pling wrote of "pIsework, pronounced "pee-say-work." It was suggested by the building processes Of the ants, and the durable walls made according to those wonderful archi tects of the insect tribe were called "formacie" The method was well known to the ancents, and some of the oldest houses In the world today are of this construction. Rondelet writes of chateau In the department of Ain.

4 honcter Eo.ient.

The Rra%i.ian capytara is a large. stoutly built rodent. Imagine rat weighing 2S0 pounds with q huge hea,, an upper lip a foot long and close set eyes and one has an idea of the beast. He is the largest of the rodent tribe and has harsh. coarse hair. more like briStles than fur. This hair is mixed black and yellow. of dtngy appearance. In his native haunts the capybara has huge, fat stomach which almost drags on the ground. He is a water loving animal and can dive and stay under for eight or ton minutes at a time. The jaguar of South America nreys upon the capy hara and the In dians kill him for his flesh, which when smoked is said to be as delicious as a Kentucky ham. although it has a certain musky flavor. The capvbara makes sound when alarmed some what between dogs bark and pigs grunt. He was once called the hydro choerus, or water hog. and lives on a vegetable diet

In real life room doors always open in toward the room itself On the stage. however, room doors, as rule open outward, or away from the room. Exits are one of the most difficult parts of the actors art, and if he or she had to tumble with the handle, pull the door toward them, step round it ana pass through they would probably make a clumsy dodge of it.

What the Noise Did.

Of the noise of London streets caused by the hackney coach Taylor, the old water poet, wrote: Tt makes such q hideous rumbling in the streets by many churches doors that peoples ears are stopped with the noise. where- by they are deparred of their edifying which makes faith so fruitless. good works so barren and charity as cold at midsummer as if it were a great frost. By this means souls are robbed and starved of their heavenly mama. :"
