In discussing the question, “Which is the king of beasts?” an old African hunter says: “Come with me to a desert pool some clear, moonlight night when the shad ows are deep and sharply cut and the moon herself in the dry, cloudless air looks like a ball. All is nearly ns bright as day, only the light is sliver, not gold. Sit down on that rock and watch the thirsty animals as they drink—buffalo, rhinoceros, antelope, quagga; occasionally, if the water Is large, Hons too. But wlmt has fright ened the antelope and quagga that they throw their heads up tor a second and fade away Into the shadows? The oth er beasts, too, are listening and now leave the sides of the pond. Nothing but the Inevitable, irrepressible jackal, th at gamin among wild things, remains in view# “As yet your dull human ears have caught no sound, but very soon the heavy tread and low, rumbling note of an oncoming herd of elephants reach you. They are at the water. The jackals have sat down with their tails sraight out behind them, but not an other creature is to be seen. The king drinks. Not a sound Is heard. He squirts the w ater over his back, makes the whole pool muddy and retires sol emnly, leaving his subjects, who now gather round, to make the best of what he has fouled. “This is the king in the opinion of nat'e. buf a ready, earnest a'p-.; py the hostess is Till that he can do to re:;i j edy the difficulty.

This story is told of a hostess at whose table a beautiful china cup was broken. “Never mind,” she said pleas antly. "They break so easily. See!” And she crushed one in her hand. Her method wns rather too el aim rate. It would have been quite as sit lsfactory to the offender and far more genteel had she said: “I hope you have received no Injury. The cup doesn't matter In the least” If a morsel of food drops from tin- fork to the tablecloth do not attempt to remove It. If a guest drops a fork or a spoon he should lot It He. Tin- hostess will provide another. If anything distasteful be taken Into the month it may be removed on the corner of the napkin, when It can be folded away or placed quietly on the plate. If a bit of food falls on the wnlsteoot of a guest he should remove ns much of It as he can quietly with the corner of his napkin.
