The young m"n did not know what

again and again. Finally, with a sigh
Of resignation. he said to the waiter:
Bring me some fish feathers"
"Fish feathers?" exclaimed the as

The waiter retired for a conference

"There amt any such thing. There

Swordsmanship Against a Tiger.

workmanship Against a Tiger.
Sir James Outram, known as the
Bayard of India, was a mighty hunt
err and an accomplished swordsman.
He once performed the hazardous feat
of killing a tiger with his sword and
from the back of his horse. General
Nicholson performed a similar feat.
He rode round and round the tiger at a
gallop. gradually narrowing the circle
until at last he was near enough to de-
liver his blow. He had only the one
blow and If he had failed would have
been slain. The explanation of the feat
Is that the tiger does not spring upon
the horseman during the circling proc
ess because he is watching his opportu-
nifty. AS the circle draws closer and
closer upon him he becomes bewildered
by the strange maneuver, so unlike
that of any hunter he has aver encoun
tered.

RIBBON UPSET A STATE.
The Undec grated Minister Resigned
and the Government Fell,

ana tNo 1OVeFNF1oOI roll.
Many interesting size lights on a
court and the unexpected trials and
troubles incident to it from which re-
publics are free are given in William
Miller Golfers book of "reminiscences
OF his days as minister to the Spanish
court, "At the Court of His Catholic
Majesty" That ii government should
fall as the result of Il rihl'nn bestowed
for a purely ceremonial purpose seems
rather absurd, but, says Mr.. Collier:
ut is a historical fact that not many
years ago Il certain minister of the ma.
riue In n Of the European countries
resigned because the ruler of a foreign
country. on the occasion Of his visit to
its capital, gave him q certain rank In
a certain order and gave a higher rank
to his colleague. the minister Of war.
The minister Of marine commended that
It was an insult to his country's navy
and the fact that he received the rank
which the rule required in such cases
and that the minister Of war had re-
ceived a higher rank only because the
lower rank had been given him pre-
viously made no difference to the az
grieved minister.
'1n his opinion his own government
in not demanding that the foreign gov
eminent give him also the higher rank
in this foreign order had permitted its
navy to be insulted, and so he resigned,
and the government fell. Thus does
the fate of nations hang not on threads,
but on ribbons"
