Du Maurier often dropped a coin into the poor man‘s hut. One cold day the author of ‘Trilby’ told him to leave his ‘pitch’ and go to the model soup kitchen in Euston road to get some food.

When the man was out of sight, he pro~ coated to wipe out the pictures of battle scenes. faithful (logs, etc., and commenced drawing portraits in chalks of the society ladies and gentlemen made famous by him in Punch.

As one time he bought a farm lying near his estate, and therefore very valuable to him. When the purchase was concluded, his steward congratulated him on having got such a bargain, for, as he explained, the owner was in difficulties and had been forced to part. with the land. “11-; ungtido you mean by a bargain?” 251511! the duke. Yet he was a great stickler for punctilio in what. seemed to him the proper places. When the regiment of his son. Lord Douro. was quarzcred at Dovor, the duke was staying at Walmor castle, and the oflicers wdc over and left their cards as a matter of form. Soon after came an invitation from the Duke of Wellington inviting all the oflicors to dine, but ignoring his own son. When Lord Douro asked for an ex- planation. the duke gave it. thus, with great good humor: m, mu. nun-a. unc or them gushingly asked him to give her an account of the baule of Waterloo. “Oh,” said he, “it's very easily done! We pcmmclcd them, they nommeled us, and I suppose we pommeled the hardest. So we gained the day.” The worlds of reminiscence and history agree that there was something about the Duke of Wellington which rendered empty pretense quite impossible in his company. He was absolutely genuine, a man with~ out vanity or desire of display. He was invariably courteous to women, but that did not prevent. him from staring 011‘ such as were bores. One of them gushingly asked him to give her an account of the butfle of Waterloo. NOW THEY DON’T SPEAK. The Prince's Guests.

The two friends were emphatic in I their contradictions of each other’s state- lments, and eventually oil's-red to back i i their own opinions. At this point Sir John came to the rescue. He would not \ear of a money bet. but consented to al- low them to settle matters by betting a . ten guinea (Bennett‘s) watch. A Unique Sign.

Whether the rat reached shore or not is the question. since the ship soon got out of sight of the skipper and its craft. The London Field tells this story: A rat was caught alive on board n British naval vessel in a trap, and the beast was thrown from the trap into the water without be- ing killed. A large gull that was follow- ing in the wake of the ship to pick up scraps at food thrown overboard by the steward stopped several times, endeavor- ing to pick the rat up. Once the bird got too close to the rat’s jaws and the beast grabbed it by the neck. After a short fight the rat succeeded in killing the bird. “But we think we’ve got them now.

At the close of the first course a servant brought round a plate on which were a dozen little square pieces of toast, with a delicate morsel, ap- parently of meat, upon each, which he elicited from the duchess to consist of the inside of a woodcock and to be considered a great delicacy. Unconscious that the plate was to go round, he tool: it from the hands of the servant, placed it before him and deliberately ate up the whole of it, saying that he found it excellent, but he ascer- tained that the delicate meat upon the toast was not termed in polite circles the “stonmch,” but was called the “trail.” Precedence of Embassadors. Who actually settles the precedence of an exubassador? He doubtless knows his business end obeys some time honored rule, but the results of that rule are some. times a little grotesque. We suppose it was quite right in the jubilee procession to place the American and Spanish repre~ senmtives side by side, though their coun- tries are almost at death grips. but in one carriage in the procession, drawn by only two horses, were seated the Belgian minâ€" ister, the Netherlands minister, the special representative of the pope. and. with his back to the horses, the special repres :nta- tive of the emperor of China. Consider- ing that the courtesy of Europe assigns the first place to the pope, and that the emperor of China, like the queen, rules a fourth of the human race, their represent- atives, sent by what is almost a stretch of courtesy specially to honor the queen, seemed singularly out of place. The ex- ceptional honor paid. too, to the British royal family grates a little on the British notion of hospitality. They are first in the land, of course, but courteous hosts usual- ly give the pus to their guests. The mat- ter is of trifling importance except in the Chinese case, but we really think that for the brother of the sun and moon, whom We are always persecuting for his adher- ence to arrogant forms, we might have re- laxed the etiquette just a little. Rather more honor should have been paid, too, to the heir of the Hapsburgs, who was, with the exception of the queen, unquestionably the first but one in rank of all the princes in the pageant. We suppose the Duke of Saxe-Coburg Goths, as a reigning sov~ «reign, ranks in the technical sense before him, but certainly no one else doesâ€"Lon- don Spectator. refer to the general run of men when I any that there is something about; maxi hut-n outside of America, a native selfish- nrss amounting to a sort of callousncss, a lack of perception regarding the fingncss of womanhood, which, summcd up in a few words, might be called a mental bru- r-xii-zy, which well nigh uuflts them for close social contact with tho superscnsiaivo American woman. And just; as gurcly as American women persist: in disregarding this subtle yet unmistakablt. truth, just so surely will they lay themselves open to thcsosoul bruises which American men, as 1-. race, are incapable of inflicting. I say they are incapable of inflicting them, bc~ 12 use American men, in the face of evcrgh thing said and written to the contrary, are, in rcgard to women, the flucsn grained race of men in the world.

Our standard of civilization is personal comfortâ€"luxury, a thing absolutely un- known in native India. There is scarcely any difi'erenee in the mode of living be- tween the rich and the peer. It you go into the house of a rejah, there is the same bare floor. and only a simple platter to eat from, such as is seen in the home of the poorest. To put it crudely, there will prob- ably not be even the luxury of a wash basin and towel, tor the rich man, like his poor brother, washes in the open and dries himself in the sun. Such is the extreme simplicity of life that wealth is still buried in India. A man may spend it on jewels for his wife, but not on pleasure or per- sonal comfort. This simple life, which fostered no distinctions of class, had been preserved for 3,000 years by Indian civi- lization, but ours will destroy it in 50 years.â€"Mrs. Steel in Humantarian.

On one occasion a brother minister, who was intending to buy a horse, met Dr. Mason and stopped to ask his opinion of the animal, which he was then driving. Many stories are told of the keen wit and ready speech of Dr. Mason, once pastor of the Scotch Presbyterian church in New York. Not only was he a great and eloquent preacher, but many of his most. telling lessons were given in private rather than in the pulpit. So heard, they wore sure to be repeated and not forgotten. The oriental is fond of parade, even in language, and the longer the words the more attractive in his eyes and to his ears is the style. It is not at all remarkable, therefore, that, considering his imperfect knowledge of English. the long words of which the Indian native editor is so fond should sometimes be misplaced or incor- rectly employed, nor that the metaphors in which he delights should frequently be grotesquely mixed. Most of the natives who read English are familiar with the literature which is distributed in enor- mous quantities by the missionaries, and have adopted from it many pious expres- sions that, appropriate enough in homily or prayer, are ridiculously out of place in a leading article.-Exehange. The Indian press may be roughly di- vided into three classes. The first consists of English newspapers published in the largo cities, such as Calcutta and Bombay, generally very creditable productions, con- ducted by scholarly Englishmen or Anglo- Imliuns. The second class is composed of papers edited and published by natives, the matter being generally half in Eng- lish and half in a. native language, though the proportion varies. The third class con~ stitutes those journals which are puhlish~ ed entirely in a native language, this class being by for the most numerous of all. Daily and ’Weekly Publications Flourished There Before the European Conquest. India can jointly claim to have a share â€"a very considerable shareâ€"in the birth of the newspaper. Ages before the Euro- pean conquest every court had :1 Weekly, sometimes a daily, news letter, which was sent out to the principal towns and read with diligent attention by wealthy people, nobles and especially by all oflicinls. It was not, however, until after the English conquest that the newspaper, as the word is now understood, was established in In- dia, the first English journal in that coun- try appearing about 1818, and not until tho middle of the country did the Indian natives begin to publish papers in their own language. this lumpmuck has some gluouddzrd :md ‘ is human on vmodvsn nzn'ils with Save} 1mm- nmrs. ’i‘wu good hammer-01's can prepare in a day 50 plt‘COS-l, ouch weighing half a pound.
