Lora Whitworth, who held various posts of honor in English diplomatic circles, was a kindly, gracious geutle- tnan ns w ell as a wit and a man of the world. He had indeed almost r easured swords with Napoleon at the Tuileriea when that despot railed at England for not having evaouated Egypt and Malta, accused her o f having violated treaties and ended by flourishing a cane danger ously near the face of the English em bassador. Lord Whitworth pat his hand on the hilt of his sword. “ What would you have done if the emperor had struck you?*’ he was after ward asked. \ “ I would have felled him to the ground," was the quiet answer. Perhaps the best story told of him is one snowing how his quick w it disposed of a rival. When he was at the Russian court. Fox sent there as a sort of em bassador of his own a man named Adair, the son of a surgeon. One day the empress, speaking in French, said to Lord Whitworth: “ Is he a very important man, this M. Adair?” “ Not so very, madame, ” replied Lord Whitworth, “ although his father was a grand saigneur, ” a remark which, read ers of French w ill reooguize as rii-very good pun, for the word ns used by Lord Whitworth means “ blood letter, ” while by its eound it also meant a great lord. — Youth’s Companion.

All animals, even the wildest, nan be subjected in some way to the dominion of man and be domesticated to some ex tent Here, for instance, are two very curious facts about oats. Many persons, including some of our greatest natural ists, believe that our English domestic cat is descended from the Egyptian do mestic cat. Yet all records go to prove that the cats of Egypt lived in droves, were cared for in droves, were fed in droves and worshiped in droves, with the result that Egyptian cats never got domesticated or became half as in telli gent as ours. The like truth is suggested from In dia, where monkeys are worshiped. These are allowed to become nuisances. They are fed and they have any amount of liberty, and what is the oonsequence? They never lose their innate savagery. The method of caring for them has been wrong. All the devotion and care ex pended on them are practically wasted, and if we treated onr cats in the same fashion as the Indians do these monkeys they would become just as wild and un- domesticatod.—Cassell’s Magazine.
