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

description of the tahlc IuiIiIih uf the
greatest ruler In his day Is very Inter

repast. Thoro were Invariably four
courses of six dishes. The emperor

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

SINGS ITS DEATH SONG.
V Peculiar Bird Found In the Junglee
of 8outh America.
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.

A Strenuoue Scene That Wat Not on

Olovnnnl (Jrnsso, a Sicilian actor of
unusual drnmntlc energy, was playing
In I'lurence In ono of tils fiercest parts,
where ho had to stab his enemy with

his passion. (Jrnsso let the weaou slip
out of his hand. It alighted In the pit
on a man's head, cutting It slightly.
An Indignant member of tho audi
ence flung the knife back to tho stage,
where It was dexterously caught by
urosso. liaising It aloft In his linud
and ns If it were accursed, (Irasso
smashed It In .two nnd then stamped
upon It.
Then, with n swift bound, Orasso
was In the pit beside the Injured man
Tho next mluuto he had climbed back
to tho boards, with tho victim In his
arms.
After settling him In a chair Grasso
threw himself on his knees and began
a long entreaty for forgiveness. This
was rapidly granted by tho much cm
hurrusHcd playgoer, who on his side
beggisJ to be allowed to return to his

Hut this was not to be until (Irasso,
weeping copiously, Had liestowcd no
fewer than llfly resounding kisses on
tho man's blushing cheeks.
The action was grilled with loud
