Some of the Prerosativen Which Em bc.KBilor. Slay Exercise. A curious privilege of an embassndor is that he and he alone when dismiss¬ ed may turn his back to tbo sovereign to whose court he is accredited. The modi' of procedure Is as follows: Wbwl „ over, he waits to he dismissed -by the bass.-ulor hows, retires three paces, bows again, retires another three heels and walks to the folding doors. p,ut is fp,t tl,at morp i ,olitP methods should obtain when the reigning sov¬ ereign is 0 woman. To turn his back Is to he discourteous, to walk back¬ ward Is to resign a privilege. The em¬ bassador retires sideways, like a crab. He keeps one eye on the sovereign and with the other tries to Bee- the door. lie thus shows politeness to the sov ereign and at the same time retains one of liis privileges. As the embassa¬ dor is usually an old gentleman, often short sighted, he sometimes fails to reach the door and comes In eollision with the wall. Another privilege of embassadors is the right of being ushered into the royal presence through folding doors, both of which must be flung wide open, No one except an embassador can claim Ibis privilege. The most any nonembassadorial person can ex¬ pect is that one of the leaves shall be opened to him. The reason for this privilege is not known. There are cer¬ tain Irreverent suggestions tlint have been made, hut we prefer to tie silent with regard to them, Another privilege, capable of causing great Inconvenience, is the embassa dor’s right of admission to the sor e reign at any hour of the day or night, Tims the minister representing some little bankrupt state could go down to Windsor and demand an audience at ^ . o’clock in the morning. The audience would have to be granted, though It could lie delayed by the exercise of In* geuuity.—Chambers' Journal, The True Slleslon of Luxury. - N 'o luxury is Justifiable that ends in simple enjoyment. I must be turned ( to good account by adding to our pow ers of usefulness, it we enj„y reading, are we enthusiastic Tor the public* libra t-y ? If wc enjoy outdoor life, are we anxious far parks nnd pleasure jjj-ounds foi the people'? If we revel in «rt or innate, do we long that picture *«’ Id ‘own open or good music •** ■’"hitnable all .* Do we strive Whenever (wssible tc share our iusu flies, whatever they may be. with those less favored than ourselves, or are we satisfied with our own enjoyniem as an end instead of using it as a means to j j bettering the lives of others also? Truthful answers to those-questIon* i will speeNily tell us also whether our j own special luxuries are building up; character and life or whether they are ! the means or lowering the one and narrowing the other.-I’hllailelpliia j Ledger.

From various causes. such as angc-r and fear, many animals eat their own flesh. Rats, when ealight in a trap by the leg. will gnaw off tin* raptured member, and mice in captivity have been known to bite off' their fails. But there are some creatures wliieb go much furl her and actually eat parts of themselves If left for too long a period without food. A hyena belonging to a menagerie was kept by the proprietor without food in order to lame it. One morning he was horrified to find that the fero¬ cious creature had actually eaten part of its own leg. An eagle in the zoo a few years ago was noted for the fact that it would now and then pick pieces of flesh out of its own legs and eat them. Certain caterpillars and toads devour their east off skin. This may be due to fear, blit it looks like economy. There Is Just a trace of this charac¬ teristic in human beings. Children when In rage sometimes bite their own hands and arms, although it must he admitted that they desist when it be¬ gins to hurt. One Wny of Uctiing Even. “There Is a fellow in our office who is a chronic borrower." said a young man employed in a large Market street ea tablisinnent recently. "He got Into nearly everybody In the place before we all made up our minds to stop lend Ing. He Inis owed me #2 for nearly a year, "be but I’m nearly square, although has never paid me a penny of it That sounds queer, but it is the truth. I’ll tell von how I’ve-worked It. “Every once In awhile one of the fel¬ lows will say. Tin going to make So and-so give me what he owes me next pay day or know the reason why.’ That’s my chance, nml 1 casually re¬ mark. Til hot you a quarter you don’t get it.' Usually the fellow takes me Up, and when pay day comes lie loses his bet. for So-and-so never pays, in small bets of quarters arid dimes, luncheons and cigars I have nearly got back the amount 1 originally loaned to the chronic borrower.” — Philadelphia Record.

Bruise or n Soar. I Few mountaineers go far enough Into the avalanche regions to see much of them, and fewer st^ll know the thrilling exhilaration of riding on them, says .John Muir in The Atlantic. , In all my wild mountaineering I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride, and tiie start was so sudden and the end came so soon I thought hut little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times. One calm, bright morning in Yosemite, after a hearty storm had given three or four feet of fresh snow to the nioun tains, being eager to see as many avalanches ns possible and gain wide views of the peaks and ferests array¬ ed in their new robes before the sun¬ shine had time to change or rearrange them. 1 set out early to climb by a side canyon to the top of h commanding ridge a little over 3.000 feet above the valley. But 1 was not To get top views of any sort that day. but instead of these something unite different, for deep trampling near the canyon head where the snow was strained started A* 1 avalanche, and l was swished back down to the foot of the canyon as if by enchantment. The plodding, wallow Ihg ascent of about a mile hail taken all day. the undoing descent perhaps about a minute. When the snow suddenly gave way. ! Instinctively threw myself on my back and spread my amis to try to keep from sinking, Fortunately, though the grade of the canyon was steep, it was not Interrupted by step levels or precipices big enough to cause out hounding or Tree plunging. On no part of the rush was I burled. I was only moderately Imbedded on the surface or a little below it and covered with a hissing hack streaming veil, and as the* whole mass beneath or about me Joined In the flight I felt no friction, though tossed here and there and lurched from side to side, and wlien the torrent wedged and came to rest 1 found myself on the top of the crumpled pile, without a single bruise or scar. Hawthorne says that steam has spir¬ itualized travel, notwithstanding the smoke, friction, smells and clatter of boat and rail riding. This flight in a milky way of snow flowers was the most spiritual of nil my travels, and after many years the mere thought of it is still an exhilaration.
