Not To Be Eaten.

The Rochester Democrat relates a
comical mishap which befell a young
lady at her first dinner party. Natur-
ally she was somewhat nervous at first,
but the awkwardness wore away after
little, and she was soon quite at ease.
The dessert was being served, and
the stately colored walters were pass
ing pretty little pink frosted cakes to
be eaten with the iced creams. A plate
of them was held before the young
lady, who looked them over and said,
81 don't care for any"
The waiter was moving away when
she saw, as she thought, an eclair on
the farther side of the plate. She was
fond of chocolate.

over for the eclair. "There is one
with chocolate on it."

morsel, "beg pardon, miss, but that's

Snok- Irou on the Mekong River. The
traveller who describes her trip in Har-
pers Magazine made her way to the
interior aboard a river steamer.
AT eight in the morning, she writes
we stopped at the floating village
which consisted of some forty or fifty
little huts built on RATS and dashed
together with rattan ropes. A row
of little shops that display fruits, fish.
baskets and countless articles for ma
tive use formed the main street, ana
sampans and pirogueS padded UP and
down in front of the shops, for market
day was in full swing.
The rear of the village was dashed to
half-submerged trees, but the whole
town changes its location from time to
time, according to the vagaries of the
river or the whimS of its inhabitants.
Sometimes it is moored farther I'D or
downstream; sometimes it is tied UP on
the opposite bank. Our steamer calls
at Snok-Trou on every trip, but the
captain never knows where he will
find it.
