SCARED The woRos AwAx.
American in Madrid Couldn't Tals u

oftentimes folks get so nervous in
a foreign country that they forges
every word Of the language, especially
if they are new to it. That was the
case with young American in Ma
drid, and It came near getting him
into trouble.
He was out late at a theatre the
very first night after his arrival in the
city. When he got back to the small
native hotel where he was stopping
with the idea Of improving his Span
ish he found the door locked. 1t
wasn't until after vain search for q
doorbell that he remembered what
some one had told him about the
serenos. the night watchmen. He
clapped his hands and the Waterman
came around the corner on a trot.
He took a key from his pocket and
opened The door and then turned to
the young man and asked in Spanish:
What is the number of your room?"
The young man had heard that If he
gave number for which the serene
could find no key he was in danger OF
being arrested, and that thought drove
every bit of Spanish out OF his head.
He stood there there dumb while
the serene looked at him angrily- The
young man was trying his best to re-
member how to say the number in
Spanish when luckily one of the en-
ployees strayed down through the
hall It was the porter who had car
ried up the Americans trunk earlier
in the day.
He knew the American and told the
serene it was all right The young
man didn't have any trouble there
after. but he still is wondering what
would have happened if the servant
hadn't happened to come along just
at that time.-New York Sun.

snalIs aThe poor Mans oyster

SnaiIs "The Poor Mans OYSTER
Properly cooked the snail is both
nutritious and tasty. If. however, the
suggestion that it should form an
article Of diet here were seriously
acted upon we fear that the supply
IN this country would prove to he
short of the demand. But, doubtless
the snail could be cultivated. as is the
oyester, when it was found that it had
gained a considerable patronage. The
snail has. indeed, been called the
poor mans oyster. though we do
not remember to have seen it eaten
raw.
We know, however, says the Lam
Get, that it makes an excellent fsh
sauce. Possibly also few snails in
a steak and kidney pudding would
increase the tastiness of this popular
food. Care must be exercised in the
choice OF the snail for food purposes,
as it is well known that snaiIs iced
on poisonous plants, and It is the Gus
J tom III France to allow a few days
to eiapse after they have been taken
from their feeding ground In order
that any poisonous matter may be
eliminated
Compared with the oyster. the snail
contains about 100 per cent. more nu-
tritious substances. The suggestion,
therefore, that the snail should be

OUT OFTHE
BAND BOX

WHEN anyone is said to look
w as though he just came out
of a bandbox, the Implication is
that he is so neat and precise,
so immaculate in his appearance
that he suggests some company
dress, carefully kept in a band
box.
The Randbox Plot occurred in
Queen Anne's reign when a band
box was sent to the lord.treas-
urer, with three pistols charged
and cooked, the triggers being
tied to a pack-thread fastened to
the lid. It was expected that
when the lid was lifted, the pistols
would go off and shoot the per-
son who opened the lid. Dean
Swift happened to be present at
the time the box arrived, and
seeing the pack.thread, cut it,
thereby having the life of the
lord-treaSurer.

says:
