His Diamonds and His Paste.

Bob Palmer, the comedian, had been
originally a billsticker, fact pretty
generally known among his colleagues
of the stage. One evening when dress
ed for the character Of Sir Brilliant
Fashion he strutted into the green
room with buckles sparkling on his
shoes and fine diamond on his finger.
A brother actor inquired If his gems
were real ITO be sure they are.

reply, whereupon Bannister remarked,
II congratulate you, Bob, for l can re-
member when you wore nothing but
paste"
Palmer did not take the joke with be-
coming good humor, and an angry al
tercation ensued, which was only bro
ken when Mrs. Jordan cried out: ''Why
don't you stick him against the wall,
Bob? Stick him against the wallw--

Not disturbed.

Nassau William Senior, the English
political economist, was frequent
guest of Lord Lansdowne at Lans
downe House and on one occasion was
busily writing, quite distracted as
usual in a room full Of company wher
Tom Moore was singing. The scratch
of his pen was not an agreeable ac
compartment, and at last one Of the
company asked very politely, "You are
not fond of music, Mr. Senior?" NO
he replied, but it does not disturb
me in the least. Pray go on

We cannot refrain from recording
the most curious capture of fish tina
has come to our notice. The circum
stance was retailed many years ago by
Mr.. Heathcote, one of the great au
thorities on the fens. A Mr.. Richard
son of Peterborough was skating OIL
the bikes when the Ice was very clear
and he noticed large pike swimming
In front of him. The fish was terrified
by the apparition and swan In front Of
the skater until it stopped from sheer
exhaustion. The skater broke the ice
and took out the fish with his hand
which proved to be pike weighing
twelve pounds. 1t is a story difficult
even for fisherman or local histo-
rian to cap.-London Outlook.

In Spite Of Hunt

Nancy started angrily as the porter
of her section and Philip Graham fol
lowed him to the seat
"This Is ungenerous," she said tense
~ when the porter had taken himself
on. How did you discover that l was

ly, "but l assure you that my surprise

and run for the train. was under the
impression that you were to remain
with your aunt week and that-last
night would make no difference in your
plans"
Last night had nothing to do with
It." disclaimed Nancy. Father wired
for me- am afraid that it is serious,
and you elect to follow me and annoy
me with your arguments"

entire ignorance of your presence on
the fier," said Philip stifay. I'm proof
Of my good intentions l shall betake
myself to the smoker until am able to
arrange an exchange of seats with the
conductor"
He raised his hat and stalked for
ward in the direction of the cafe car,
leaving Nancy with her feelings sadly
ruffled Only the night before Graham
had proposed to her and had been re-
fused. She was certain that her aunt,
Mrs Merrivale, had managed to get
word to Philip that Nancy had been
telegraphed for His presence here
was part of Mrs. Merrivale's match
making plans.
Had she been left to herself Nancy
would have accepted Graham; but, be-
ing a young person of spirit, she de-
clined to be forced upon Graham or
to have him forced upon her. From
the beginning Aunt Merrivales plans
had been too obvious.
They were flying through the yard
now. She could not leave the train.

The train slowed down, and present

platform. There was sharpness In
the air that was grateful after the
overwarmed car, and Nancy was sorry
when the warning came to get aboard
again.
The porter from Graham's car ap-
preached them as Nancy resumed her
seat. He handed Graham a telegram.

had read the message Your aunt

rosy lips He was not appreciative of

CHINESE Eatino.

1t is probably true that the Chinese
use a greater variety of meats than do
the people Of other countries, although
but little land is set apart for grazing
or for the cultivation of food for live
stock. Beef. is not common meat,
principally because of the Buddhistic
prejudice against killing any animal
and particularly such useful one.
Since hogs can be so economically
reared, pork is undoubtedly, after rice,
the leading article of food. This is
eaten In every form, and one may say
that every part of the animal is util-
ized for food. Horsefesh, venison, an
telope and bear are often seen, but in
passing through the markets pork, NUT
ton and fowls are the most conspicu-
Gus. For fish the Chinese have an ON
nivorous appetite, nothing from the
water, either fresh or salt, being re-
jected. A. few kittens and puppies
may be offered for sale in cages. Those
=hich are intended for the table are
fed upon grain and clean food, so that
If the nature of this food be considered
it is far more wholesome than Is the
unclean hog. To assert that cats and
dogs form a staple article of food Is
