German war broke out Count Secken-
dorff accompanied King William /. on
his visit to Napoleon III. and was
present at the celebrated dejeuner CIV
en- in the Pavilion de Diane at Fon-
tainebleau. King William, who was
sitting next the empress. was asked
by her to pass the salt, and In comply
ing with this request he threw little
salt over his shoulder. Upon the en-
press exclaiming, why do you do
thatT the king explained that in his
country 1t was the custom to do SO
when passing the salt to ward off bad
luck and any chance of a quarrel. The
empress In a prettily turned speech at
once replied, But surely there is no
danger of anything interfering with
our friendship" In less than three
years the Germans had crossed the
Rhine.-London Spectator.

Why Not Pass the Plate :?

They ought to pass the plate AT
church weddings. 1t comes natural to
do 1t In church. and to do so would
add pretty and useful employment to
the duties of the ushers. who always
have a little spare time before the
bride arrives. And. really, getting
married is more expensive than ever,

cellent In their way, what the young
people usually need the most Is cash
