English language The day after his arrival in London

he made a call on a friend in Park

lane and on leaving the premises in-

scribed in his notebook what he supposed to be the correct address The next day, desiring to go to the same place again, he called a cabman and pointed to the address that he had written down. The cabman looked him over, laughed, cracked the whip and drove away without him. This experience being repeated with two or three other cabmen. the Russian turned indignantly to the police with no better results. One officer would laugh, another would tap his head and make a motion imitating the

revolution of a wheel.

Finally the poor foreigner gave it up, and with a great deal of difficulty recalling the landmarks which he had observed the day before. found his way to his frlend's house. Once there, and In company with one who could understand him, he delivered himself of a bot condemnation of the cabmen and the police of London for their imperti-

nence and discourtesy.

His friend asked for a look at the mirth provoking address, and the mystery was solved This was the

entry: "Iting the bell."

A correspondent of London M.A.P.

One old Scotchwoman was very anxious to secure a pbotograph of the duchess. but the price ask--ed was 5 shillings. Tbe old woman stated. She wanted the pbotograph

When monsieur--the first monsieur at the court of Louis XIV—discovered at his levee that his watch had been stolen, presumably by one of bis valets. he finished dressing hastily and. addressing them all said: “Gentlemen, the watch strikes. Let us separate as quickly as we can.” WHat's tact and
