One day a toothless lion, whose muscles were unstrung by age, lay in a shady place by the streamlet side. He set up a dismal groaning, which soon drew a crowd of hyenas around him. “What is the matter?” they asked. He explained to them that the days of his kingship were over, and with tears pouring down his face protested that he was unable to defend himself against even the weakest of his enemies. On learning this the hypocritical sympathy before shown by the hyenas changed at once to open malice. They threw themselves upon the prostrate monarch and worried him with their teeth. Inside of five minutes they all lay rigid iu death. “Golly,” chuckled the lion, “I’m glad I took the. precaution to dust my hide with strychnine before I tested the kindness of these good friends. A fellow learns something by having been in politics. ” So saying be calmly wont to sleep.— Hiawaii and the Phillipines. Send four cents (in stamps) for an illustrated booklet issued by the Chicago.

Walters and Waitresses. Talking of waitresses, a New York hotel keeper says that although they may possess some superior qualities for such service there are, on the other hand, such drawbacks as make it certain that they would never be acceptable to the majority of men who would have to be served by them. He says: “I think the objection to them would be based chiefly on the fact that they never show especial attention to any person. I never knew a woman who waited on a man to trouble herself in the least about the manner in which she served him. It makes absolutely no difference whether they receive liberal tips or not. They may be quiet, neat and quick, but they would never pick out one piece of beef because it was better than another or make any effort to get the best of what was to be had in the kitchen. That sort of attention makes a man Avorth his fee to the men who tip him. “It is this special sendee that makes a waiter superior to the best of his associates. Women never detect any difference between the quality of one dish and another. They are all the same, and good service requires merely that they shall be set down noiselessly and brought quickly. There the service of the waitress ends. She can beat any man at those features of the business. But she cannot select for him anything better than the rest of the customers get. Usually she does not notice auy difference in them. That deficiency is the safeguard of the waiter and A'ill keep his place secure for him.” Foxy Way* of the Jap*. The first ten days that one spends in Japan impress him with the idea that the people there are the best to be found anyavhere. But little by little the conviction daAvns that the bowing and scraping is all shammed and that the Japanese are as unscrupulous as auy oue. They cannot be trusted to keep a contract that is not favorable to them. In all the large establishments, especially in the hotels, one always finds a Chinese as cashier. Seemingly the Japanese are afraid to trust one another. The women are quite different. They are faithful and honest and have a lovable nature. I have met a large number of foreigners Avho have married Japanese women and they are all enthusiastic in their praise. — Tacoma
