Tribulations of the Famous French |
Epicure and Jurist.
Brillat-Savarin, the author of “The
Physiology of Taste” was the abso-
lute vealization of the typical good
liver. The French revolution confis-
eated hix property and removed him
from his office us civil judge. He fled
to Switzerland and then to the United
States, where be played a fiddle in a
New York theater to gain a living,
His property was afterward returned
to him. and be was made n counselor
of the supireme court, an office he
clung to successfully through changes
of empire and kingdom. His “Physi-
ology of Taste” shared the fate of
many celebrated books. It was re
fused by several! publishers and even-
tually was published at the author's
expense. but without his Hame at-
tached to it, us he considered the na-
ture of the work incompatible with his
Judicial functions.
It was Brillar-Savarin who declared
that “the discovery of a new food does
more (or the happiness of the human
race ‘than the discovery of a star”
“Monsieur the counselor,” nn hostess
asked him one day. “which do you pre-
fer, burgundy or bordeaux?

thority, “that ix an lawsuit in which 1

evidence that 1 always postpone judg-

ROUTED THE SINGER.
Tosti’'s Encounter With a Persistent
and Peppery Stranger.
“Tosti used to tell an amusing littl:
story of feminine persistence,” says
Harold Simpson in his book, “A Cen
tury of English Ballads.” It was dur
ing one of his busiest mornings, with
a long list of singing lessons to be got
through, that a knock game at the
door of Tosti's flat. [is valet was iil.
and so Tosti went to the door himself.
A lady, a stranger to him, stood on
the threshold.
“Signor Tosti? she inquired.
“Tosti bowed.
“On said the lady, 'l am singing:
your song, “My Memories.” at Man
chester tonight, and 1 want you to
kindly run through it with me.’
“‘Aadame,’ answered Tosti politely.
but firmly, ‘I fear It is impossible. |

third is waiting in the anteroom. while
others will shortly be arriving.’
“But you must! the lady persisted.
“1 am sorry’— began “Post ngain

push backward and the lady walked
iuto the studio,
“Tosti followed, protesting. After a
long argument, which threatened io
become heated, the lady snapped out:

then!
“ ‘Madame,’ said Tosti, taking her hy
the hand, ‘I am infinitely obliged to
you.'
“The lady gave one look at him and
fled” 1

RIDING THE BUZZARD.
Tre Ricebird Uses His Bulky Enemy
as an Aeroplane.
People generally associate size and
bowever, this is far from being the
case, especially In the bird kingdom.
Among the rice flats of the Carolinas
there abound at some seasons of the
year tiny ricebirds, birds so small that
it takes two dozen for a good meal,
though bones and all are eaten.
The great buzzard is found circling
over the flats at all seasons. He dreads
the time for the ricebird to come, for
he is then nearly pestered to death. It
is n common sight to see one of these
little birds fly up to a buzzard and,
after dodging this way and that round
the awkward bulk, finally alight well
forward between the buzzards wings
on the back. Here the tiny passenger
grabs u few feathers in his beak and
holds on for grim life. After enjoying
a ride for as long as he desires the
little fellow hops off and ix gone before
Mr. Buzzard is well aware of it.
The peculiar part of the whole thing
is that apparently the only purpose the
ricebird has in getting on the back of
the buzzard is to take a free ride. It
puzzles every one who chances to see
the little drama to find any other rea-
gon, yet the fact remains that it is a
frequent occurrence, and the little
birds seem to enjoy it immensely.—
New York Tribune.
INDIAN DEATH CUSTOMS.
Graves of the Hopi and the Hogans of
the Navajos.
The Hop! Indian believes that the
souls of all deceased adults go to the
Grand canyon. When a man dies a
grave Is dug. The nearest relative of
the deceased carries the body to the
grave, places it in a sitting posture
facing the Grand canyon, erects a long
pole between the legs, locks the dead
man's fingers around it and fills the
grave. To the top of the pole, pro-
truding above the ground, he ties one
end of a string and leads the other
end in the direction of the Grand can-
von. At the end of four days it is
believed the soul leaves the body,
climbs the pole and with the string to
guide it goes to its eternal home in the
canyon.
The Navajos, on the contrary, are
very superstitious about handling dead
bodies. They believe that the evil
spirit that kills the person hovers
around the hogan, as they call their
lodge, awaiting other victims, and a
hogan in which a death occurs is never
occupied again. Navajo hogans are
always built with the entrance facing
the east. When a death occurs in one
of them an opening is invariably made
in the north side. Therefore when one
sees a hogan with the north side |
knocked out he may be certain some |
one has died in it.—Dillon Wallace in |
Outing.

which date back to at least 3500 B, C.
Even in those remote days the deg
was highly esteemed. Coming down
a little later, we read that Ulysses
3,000 years ago was recognized by his
dog Argus after his swineherd had
failed to do so.
Plutarch speaks of Alcibades, who
cut off the tail of his dog, and Myron,
the sculptor, immortalized the animal
by chiseling his image in marble. The
Romans valued their dogs and kept
them from the chase and also as pets.
Alexander the Great owned a veteran
fit to tackle a lion.
A Bibulous Goose.
Geese will live to a great age, and
some few years ago | came across a
very venerable goose (male or female
1 cannot now say) in Westmoreland in
unexpe-ted circumstances. 1 was walk-
ing from Milnthorpe to Arnside and at
Ganaside found an acquaintance sit-
ting on a seashore bench feeding a pet
goose with biscuits steeped in ale. He
told me that this goose had been in his
family for over forty years and was
partial to beer, stout and even gin,
Rev. James Hall, M. A. told of a
goose in Stirlingshire, Scotland. that
had been killed by accident after liv-
ing at the same place for “above eighty
years." —London Field.
Skating on a Tennis Court.
When one is building a tennis court]
provision may easily be made for al
rink by excavating from six inches
to one foot deeper than the surround-
ing ground and making this depress
ed area as much greater than his
court as his purse or surroundings will
permit. Twenty-five feet in the clear
outside the lines of the court will give
an area of over 11,000 square feet—an
ample space for a number of people to
occupy without crowding. The court
may be flooded by means of a hose at-
tached to the house faucet, first sat-
urating the ground and then when it
has frozen flooding the court.—Subur-
ban Life.
Deafness of Blue Eyed White Cats.
All white cats are not deaf, but most
blue eyed white cats are. It has never
been discovered why the blue eyed
cats should have the tendency to deaf-
ness, but it is a fact, while there has
never been a case known of a yellow
eyed or green eyed white cat being
deaf unless by accident.—St. Nicholas.

One of the most frequent irritant

of the fact that it is cheap and easily '
