Count P*Or.ey nnd the Tailor.
It is recounted that one day. being

D'Orsav list,ned thoughtfully for a time.
fixing his eyes upon a package that tho
irate tailor had dtqxisited upon a chair.
This (»ackage was env« lo(>ed in a coarse
sort of canvas.
“Have you much of that stuff in your
shop?” said Count D’Oisav.
"What kind that ugly canvas? If I
wanted it I could t«»-morn»w have enough
to wrap up all the merchandise in the
London docks.”
“London docks!’’ said the count;
“don’t talk nonsense. Come to me to
morrow at 4 o’chick and take my meas
ure for a pair of trdusvrs cut from this
canvas.’’
In vain tlie tailor endeavored to dis
suade lhe count, slating that the canvas
was not suitable for a garment, and in a
short time Count D'Orsiy was supplied
with the canvas trousers.
At 5 o’clock one afternoon he climlied
tho vast staircase of Crockford’s, then
one of the fashionable clubs of London,
and the first ¡»eison whom he met was
Lord Chester I ield.
“Upon my word,” said tlie noble lord,
“you have a singular garment there—
something rare, without doubt. Always
tho same original und charming
D’Orsav!”
The count received the compliment
with some confusion.
“It is perhaps not exactly elegant,” he
said, “but it is very handy und fresh,
esjiecially suited to riding on horseback.”

Apropos of the current discussion respect
ing a Utopian state of society and the way to
' reach it, we wonder whether any one has
thought of calculating the results which
j would rapidly follow if every individual
• would honestly try to do the best he knows
how to do in the sphere in which he is placed.
Human natere is exceedingly rich in re
sources, and its vast powers have never yet
been half utilized. Every one is conscious of
being able to do a great ileal better than be
ever does. Most of us choose our tasks un
wisely, we waste time, we loiter and we daw
dle, we do but imperfectly what we might
do in such a way that it would bring us
credit and advancement. Then there is the
large number of people at the top of society
w ho are beyond the necessity of labor, and
who only amuse themselves in life, and tbe
larger number at the bottom of society who
are loo indolent or too vicious to do any use
ful thing. It is evident that if every indivi
dual would find some useful occupation, such
as he is naturally fitted to succeed in, and
would perforin all its duties to the best of bis
powers, society without going aside from its
present lines of development would rapidly
approach that perfect state, of the ultimate
coining of which Isuiah prophesied and Pluto
dreamed.
In the first place, we should instantly get
rid of our police forces and standing armies,
all prisons, most asylums, the larger part of
our law courts aud all those forces and insti
tutions which are occupied with keeping cer
tain classes in order and in settling the dis
putes of others. Most of the non-producing
professional men, the lawyers, the doctors
and the judges, would lose their employment
and could go about some lietter business in
the world, w hich would have few disputes to
settle und less and less diseases to heal as time

Many southern people come to St Paul and
Minneapolis, it is said, in order to escape the
rigorsof their own winter Tho Itanana Uelt,
extending from Dulutli to \Vinni|x remind«
one of tropical Africa. Uut week Mr Riley
Haggard and I started out for a little quiet
elepliunt «hooting in the country Bidding
| farewell to the concierge al the hotel, we
packed our heavy express rifles and smooth
, bore elephant guns, penetrated as far ax
tbe sleeping car could convey us, and. bid
ding farewell to our faithful Wan Wenga,
I who caressed us both with a whisk broom to
the value of twenty scudi, we hired an ele
phant apiece and began to permeate the jun
gle, preceded by our trusty bird dog.
At the kraal or livery stable where we en
gaged our elephants we were told that game
was very plenty about thirty miles across the
dinglelow, and that in a small forest of jing-
sang trees and lioola bushes quite a covey of
quagga and elephants had been scared up by
a Boer who had penetrated the jungle accom
pli ii«l by his brakje or dog.
The first night wecampul beneath the shade
of a Vienna bread fruit tree on thebordersof
tbe Karroo, ami preventing the escape of our
trusty elephants by attaching their trunks,
we began to prepare our evening meal. I
read the directions from a book of African
travel, ami my very faithful comrade, Mr.
Riley Haggard, did the cooking.
First refreshing ourselves with a long
draught from a gourd of sp/opju from
Peoria, marked 1842, so called because it is
placed on the market eighteen hours ami
forty-two minutes after it is made, our faith
ful gun liearer, Ylang Ylang, began to carve
the bultong, Meiboss, and jerked muskrat for
the evening meal. Making a bright Are of
karroo bushes ami fresh train tigs, a wad of
mealies was soon simmering over the coals,
while the odor of Cincinnati bultong per
vaded tho tropical forest.
Ylang Ylang, our faithful valet, who has
made his name a household word because of
his search after Schwatka and One Night
Stanley, said that according to the l>ooks ou
African exploration it was uow time to bed
down the elephants. After doing this he re
turned and proceeded with the cuisine.
We had hardly swallowed our supper, and
Mr. Riley Haggard was about to climb a
date palm to secure u few luscious lecture
dates, wlum our ears wore saluted by a most
unearthly ami ear piercing roar from the
heart of tho jungle. At this moment our
faithful Ylang Ylang camo in with eyes
sticking out like u sore thumb to announce
that our bird dog had flushed a largo Aby»-
sinian lion.
Hurriedly putting a little Mayonnaise
dressing on our faithful Ylang Ylang, we
sent him out to parley with the lion while we
put on our telegraph climt>ers, and Alling our
pocket« with bultong we ascended a Duluth
palm tree.
We had not long to wait! The wang-wanga
bushes puled and a low, heavy sot perform
ing lion crept soft ly into the open Karroo,
preceded at a distance of about flinte-quartera
of an inch by our faithful Ylang Ylang. As
the (xx»r fellow juin|»ed a low Kirdisb bush,
I heard u crunching sound such as 1 never
hope to hear again, and turned away my
head rather than m * c our trusty gun bearer
in the act of backing into u lion.
As soon as 1 could regain my courage by a
small nip of spoopju, I looked back at the
sickening s(»ectaclu. All was still save the
distant song of tho red breasted blim-blum in
the Koojoo bushes.
Suddenly rememl»ering how I had once

whipping him across tho forelegs, in the

“Hi!” I drove him away from there. Out of
the kraal, down the sloot or dry water
course und across the Karroo lands ho sped
ami soon back to Winnipeg, where he joined
his congress of rare wiki I »easts, as 1 after
wards learned.
Hastily saddling our eh'phants and sinching
them tightly, so that the howdnh could not
slip around under the stomach of the noble
beast, we mounted by mean« of a freight car
standing near by and returned across tke
