A Little Mi.understnnding.

"a young lady know" said an
Englishman, got married last year in
London and had only been keeping
house a week or two when cousin
in the country sent her a brace of
pheasants. Some people like to hang
pheasants-to keep them week or
two, letting them get high on the
ground that the fresh flesh is tough
and stringy. The cook knew this, but
her young mistress knew nothing-pos-
itively nothing-of cooking.
Please, ma'am,' said the cook when
the pheasants arrived, do you like the
birds Ugh?
The birds eye? said the mistress,
Ydzzled.
What mean, ma'am,' the cook ex-
planned, is that some folks likes their
birds stale
The tail?' repeated the mistress,
more puzzled than ever.
And then, in order not to appear ig-
norant in the cooks eyes, she smiled
brightly and said:
Prepare the birds, please, with the
eyes and the tail both.'"
