A Curious Army Toast.

Of all the British regiments the
Welsh fusileers have the most curious
army toast. 1t forms part of the cerp-
mony of the grand dinner given annu-
ally on st. David's day. After the Gin
ner the drum major. accompanied 10y
the goat. the mascot Of the fuaile2rs.
bedecked with rosettes of red and blue
ribbon, marches around the table, car
rying plate of leeks. Every officer or
guest who has never eaten one before
is obliged to do so. standing on his
chair with one foot on the table. while
the drummers beat Il roll behind his
chair He is then considered Il true
Welshman. All the toasts are coupled
with the name of ST. David. 1t is in
much this way that the toast with
highland honOrs is drunk. Each guest
stands with ore foot on his chair and
one on the table, and the pipers. a-pip-

Extreme Obedience.

The Youngs had unexpectedly drop
ped in on the Baileys just as dinner
was about to be served. The hostess,
considerably disturbed. called her little
daughter Helen aside and explained
that there would not be enough oysters
to go around and added. "Now, you
and l will just have some of the broth,
and please do not make any fuss about
it at the table"
Little Helen promised to remember
and say nothing. But when the Oys-
ters were served Helen discovered
small oyster in her plate which had ac-
cidentally been ladled up with the
broth. This puzzled the little girl, as
she could not recall any instructions
covering this contingency. After
studying a few moments she dipped
the oyster up with her spoon and, hold
ing it up as high as she could, piped
out Mamma, mamma, shouldn't Mrs
Young have this oyster too?"-Chris-
