A SERIOUS DINER. Ths Way the Qreat Emperor Chartci V. Ata HI. Meals. The diary of n Gcrnimi ficnilotnnn. Bartholomew Bastrow. who lived In tho tlmo of the Emperor Uhuihw V.. gives us n good Idcn of tho Rnstronnui le customs of those times. Knslmw's description of the tahlc IuiIiIih uf the greatest ruler In his day Is very Inter esting. Young princes nnd counts served the repast. Thoro were Invariably four courses of six dishes. The emperor bnd no ono to carvo for lilni. Ho be gan by cutting his bread In pieces largo enough for ono mouthful, then attacked his pinto. lie often used his fingers whllo ho held tho plate under his chin with tbo other hand. When ho felt thirsty ho nmdo n sign to tho "doctor" standing by tho tahlc; then they went to tho sldclward for two sliver flagons and filled n goblet wWcli hold about n men sum and n half. Tho emperor drained It to tho last drop, practically nt one draft. During tho meal he never uttered a syllable, scarcely smiled nt the most amusing sallies of tho Jesters behind his chair, finally picked his teeth with quills nnd, after washing his hands, retired to n window recess, where any body could approach him with n peti tion. ' SALT WATER. I Deep Seat Are More 8llne Than Thoie That Are Shallow. Tho density of sen water depends upon tho quantity of snllno matter It contains. Tho proportion Is generally about 3 or -I per cent, though It varies In different places. 'J ho ocean con talus moro salt In tho southern than In tho northern hemisphere, nnd tho Atlantic contains moro than tho I'n clflc. Tho greatest proportion of salt liijtho Pacific Is In tho parallels of Vi degrees north latitude nnd 17 degrees south latitude. Near tho equator It Is less, nnd In tlio polar sons It Is least. from tho melting of tho Ice. Tho soilness varies with the seasons In these regions, and tho fresh wnler, being lighter. Is uppermoNt. Italn makes tho stirfaco of tho sen fresher than tho Interior parts, mid the f ti It u x of rivers renders the ocean less salt at their estuaries. Deep seas aru more saline than those that are shallow, nnd Inland seas com muulcntlng with tho main are less suit from the rivers Hint (low lulu them. To this, however, tho Mediterranean Is an exception, owing to great evap oration and the Inlltix of salt currents from tho lllack sea ami the At lam le. Tho water In the strait of (llbrnliur at tho depth of (ITU fathoms Is four times ns salt ns thut at tlio surface. Ht. James' (lazcltu. Lore of the Clover.

There is a queer bird In the jungles of northern South America which Is called tho "pnujl" by the natives, but Is known to science ns the galeated cunisson. It Is chiefly remarkable be cause It sings Its owu death song. It docs not really slhg, but makes a deep humming noise which sounds very much like the Spanish words "HI nnicrto cstn aqul" (the corpse lies here). "It Is whllo uttering this lugubrious chant," said a South American travel er, "that the paujl usually meets Its denth, for tho hunter can then easily track It to Its retreat, and It falls a victim, as tho Indians Bay, to its own death song." If tho paujl gets suspicious It Im mediately ceases humming, and that Is a sure Indication to tho hunter that tho bird has seen him or scents dan ger. In such n caso tho only thing for tho sportsman to do Is to remain per fectly still. Tho bird may becotno re assured after waiting nwhilo and again begin to call, "Tho corpse lies hero." It can then bo cautiously approached and killed. If It Is only wounded tho paujl usu ally escapes, though It cannot fly much better than tho ordinary domestic fowl. It is very fleet of foot nnd will outrun tho hunter until It Is lost In tho denso undergrowth of tho Jungle. In tho tnntlng season tho malo paujl Is tho most pugnacious of birds and will light Its own kind whenever It meets them. Often tho fight ends In tho annihilation of both combatants.
