One Chinese Dinner and a Couple of Eskimo Banquets, Mr. Ward, the American envoy to China, who tried to secure an Inter view with the emperor. HIenor Fuiir. In 1859, tells how he was entertained at dinner that lasted from noon one day until 6 o'clock on .the evening of the day following. The total number of courses is not given, but Ward men tions that he had to give In after par taking of 13fl different dishes, "where upon his hosts wondered greatly" pre sumably at his abstemiousness. Probably, however, the Eskimo ban quets last longer than any others and the quantity of food swallowed Is als proportionately greater. Ross records that seven of his party of natives once ate continuously for thirty-three hours.' during which time they consumed 200 pounds of seal meat. Europeans ex posed to the same climatic conditions act In much the same way. Captain Scott of the Discovery on his return from his long sledge journey over the Inland Ice of the antarctic continent did nothing but eat and sleep for the space of three days and nights, and even then he was still hungry. Commander Teary and his party, re turning furnished from their futile dash for the pole in 1900. slaughtered a herd of seven musk oxen on Ila7.cn Island, off the extreme north of Green land. For two days and nlchts there after they crouched Inside their snow huts, eating continuously, and when thev had finished the pile, of bones outside was "as high as a tall mun's chin."

A curious question In evolution was mire put to a si lent 1st prominent In (lie service of the government. "Why Is it," some one asked, "that horses shy and donkeys do not?" The answer was to the following ef feet: The ancestors of the horse were ac customed to mom over the plains, where every tuft of cross or bush might conceal an enemy waiting li ambush. In these circumstances the must have time and ngitln saved the lives by quickly starting back or ele suddenly jumping to one side wb without warning some strunge objeii appeared to them. Tht habit mu' have Indeed been a stroiiu one. seeing that so many years of domestication have not eradicated it. On the other bund, the donkey is de scended from ntilmnls tliitt lived unions the hills, with the usual precipices nnd dangerous declivities, nnd from these conditions, It would appear, there re sulted Its slowness u lid sure footednesa. The donkey's ancestors were not. then, so liable to stulilen attacks from wild beasts and snakes-. Moreover, sudden nnd wild starts would have been pos itively dungerniiH to the donkey's for bears. Consequently they learned to avoid the characteristic trick of the horse. The habit of eating thistles, pe culiar to the donkey, seems also to have been Inherited from Us ancestors. In the dry, burreu localities they in habited there was often very little food; therefore they learned to eat the hard, dry and even prickly plants nnd undergrowth when nothing else pre sented itself. New York Tribune. THE, MONTEREY CYPRESS. Found In Its Wild State In Only Two Spots In the World. One of the most Interesting and pic turesque .trees in the world, as well as one of the most ancient. Is the Cupres sus mnerncarps, or Monterey cypress. Its nntive habitat Is extremely restrict ed, for It Is found In Its wild state In only two spots In the whole wide world on the edge of a grove of conifers stretching for a few miles between the bay of Monterey and the bay of Carrael (the Intter of which bears a striking resemblance in outline and color to Its prototype In the Doly Land) and In a similar spot near Pescadero, a little town lying on the const between Monterey and San Francisco. The Monterey grove consists of only a doi en or two cypresses of large size and most striking appearance. Tbelr trunks are massive and wrinkled with hoary age, while their' boughs, gnarled and twisted, grow chiefly on one Ride away from the stormy winds that have buf feted them for thousands of years. -The noble trees are limited to the rocky wind beaten shore, on which some of them have but a precarious bold. Hemmed between the slowly encroach-' lng ocean on one band and a pine for est on the other, their future Is ex posed to great hazard. It Is therefore gratifying to observe that a fair num ber of thrifty young cypresses are holding tbelr own against the pines for a short distance Inland. Scientific American. A Friend In Need. About half an hour had been ex pended by the bashful young man in a series of advances and retreats, and little Johnny's cramped position be hind the sofa was becoming some what painful. "I wish I dared" the young man commenced on n now attack, when the couple were electrified by an Impatient exclamation helilml Ihem: "Aw, make a break! FI'.o'p clonrl ensy!"

ETIQUETTE. An Old Fashtonod Mdn Frees His Mind About Its Absurdities. "Whether to ent fish with a fish knife and fork or a fork nnd a bit of bread, whether to nerve champagne In : a tumbler or a goblet It Is quite ab ' surd to regard one of these courses as j right and the other as wrong and to I admire or despise a person according-' ly. The average rule of etiquette has ! nothing to do with courtesy, with j good breeding, and It Is no criterion of courtesy -or of good breeding." The speaker, an old fashioned gen tleman from the country, knotted the ends of his napkin more firmly about his neck. "Smile at me, nephews and nieces," he resumed, "because t tuck my nap kin under my chin. Vet why should I spoil my black broadcloth coat with turkey stains or smears of cranberry sauce? It Is a rule of etiquette, you say, that the nnpkin. may only be placed across the knee an absurd, ephemeral rule! "It was a rule of etiquette In France during the reign of 'I.e Uol Solell,' the great Louis XIV.. that when the king visited a sick subject the king, too. must lie down In a bed, on the ground that it would never do for a subject to maintain a more informal attitude (ban bis master during the audience. Louis XIV.. visiting the Marshal de Villars after Malplaquet, lay in a bed beside the suffering soldier In that way. i "behold the absurdities of etiquette and let me do with my napkin what I please." New Orleans Times-Democrat. THE FOREIGN LEGION. A Peculiar Body of Fighters In the French Army. 'The French foreign legion Is a het erogeneous organization. It Is com posed of disappointed men of every country political refugees, military fugitives. In fact, all varieties of the world's restless citizens go to make up this wonderful mqpgrel fighting machine. "No questions asked" might well be the regimental motto. Each man signing his bond of service sells his soul for five years at the wage of 1 sou (about 1 cent) per day. The officers are French, but the men hall from everywhere nnd nowhere. Under various names the French le gion has existed since the eighteenth century and was llnally constituted as at present In 1830. It consists of tjvelve battalions divided Into two regiments, mustering a total strength of 12,000 men. Eight thousand are kept In the fnr east, the remainder serving In northern Africa. In the early days the regiments were divided Into "na tional sections," men from the same country being kept together. This resulted, however. In continual racial disputes, and each company con sequently was given a cosmopolitan composition. Since Its formation tbe officials have guarded closely against desertions, and as the legion only serves In French colonial territory where the centers are remote and transportation is difficult a successful desertion Is a rare feat.
