TIE SWISS PENSION.
Peculiar Manners at the Boarding
House Table d'Hote

The distinctive thing about Swiss
pension is the table d'hote. The table
d'hote has its own set of conventions.
You can always tell an old pension
naire by the way he sputters when he
eats his soup, by the way he stabs Il
piece of bread from the bread basket
with his knife and by the keen eye
he has for picking out the best piece
Of meat. BY some mysterious system,
known only to the maid. she always
offers you the platter With the fork
seductively placed in the smallest
poorest portion. Your skilled pension
naire is never caught by this trick
He always removes the fork from the
piece indicated and rakes over every
thing till he finds the best. This is not
impolite-in Il pension. 1t is the con-
ventonal thing.
In order to prevent any undue adj
vantage the maid has a system of ro-
tation. First she begins at the head
Of the table and works down the
right side With the next course she
begins at the foot and works up the
left side If she forgets where she
stopped and begins wrong there Is an
Immediate howl from those who are
getting cheated. This causes many
bitter and stormy arguments.-Albert
Edwards in Outlook

Equal to the Occasion.

Michelot the famous comedian. suf-
fered Il great deal from the spite of his
colleagues and found 1t necessary to
be on the alert at every performance.
On certain occasion he had to scold a
servant in one of Moliere's plays. when
the "cIaque." which had been bribed
by his rivlls. began to hiss
Micheiot was by no means discon-
cerred. Giving the servant Il couple of
blows on the ear. not included In the
part. he eXtenporiZed as follows:
you vile scamp of varlet. there is
nothing you think of! There you stand
quietly listening to the vermin squeak
ing in the house and never trouble
yourself to get the rat poison"
The effect tof this sally was striking.
The audience broke out In loud APP
plause, and no subsequent attempt was
made TO hiss the actor.

Helping Him On.

The somewhat elderly but still
handsome and well preserved bachelor
had long been an admirer of the young
lady, but never had dared to tell her
so. At last, however, he mustered
courage to say:
Miss Jessie, wish l were twenty
years younger"
"Why so!" she asked.
because then should be bold
enough perhaps to ask you to marry
me-"
With charming smile she shook
her head.
Il should haves to tell you no, Mr..
Baxter" she said. "If you We're twen-
ty years younger you would be-er-a
great deal too young for me-"
He took the hint-and little while
later the young lady too.
