A few evenings ago. at the club-room, he took a French comic paper, and (or half an hour he pretended to be absorbed in its contents. Every once in a while he would smile fecblv. as n he had been carried away by the jokes, and say audibly. “Bon. tres bon.” There were several gentlemen at the adjoining table who had been notic--Mng Snoberly's antics. At last one ol them said.— "See that Snoberly over there pretending to read that French paper? I am certain that he does not understand French. He is just doing that to impress the people with his knowledge as a linguist.” * “I suppose he must understand French.” replied one oi the party. “I'll bet a bottle of wine that he doesn't, and I'll prove it." •T'U take the bet.” The gentleman who had made the bet walked quietly over to Snoberly “Monsieur, qu'elle hrure est il?" (What o'clock is it. sir?") Young Snoberly smiled a Parisian smile, and gracefully handed over the

paper!

AN, ODD INDIAN BELIEF. rendition Connected With the Division Into Castea. According to the tradition of one of the tribes of India, the, son created a man and a woman at the beginning of Ome and thla couple .had twelve children. When they had ull come to an age to shirt for themselves the ran divided them Into pairs and placed food of all kinds before them. On their choice depended the fate of their descendants. Those who took vegetables only became the ancestors of the highest caste of all, the Brah mans, while the Santals, the lowest of all castes, spring from those who chose pigs. The Kols declare that they are descended from those who took bollocks' flesh and to the sustaining power of the food of their choice the Larka, or fighting Kols. attribute their strength and fine physique. When these latter at the beginning of the last kentury first met English troops they were quickly Impressed with the fighting powers of the strangers. and. finding that they, too, ate bullocks' flesh, the Kols paid them the great compliment of asaignlng them the same pair of ancestors at the Kols. Bnt by the time eleven palrr had chosen their share of the food provided there was nothing left for the unfortunate twelfth couple, and they bad to beg food from the others who had fared better. From this anlucky pair spring the Ghasls. who do not work, but support themselves on the charity end leavings of others.

Judged by Her Book. The girls in a large department store, says Frank Leslie's, are. as a rule, •arefully watched not only in the store, but out of it. The buyer of each department knows pretty well the habits of his sales ladies; knows how much it I costs them to live and how they spend their evenings. It is easv for him to get the information not merely through I the store detective, but in many other !**■&, buyer is, as a rule, a tole-ant ! person, who cares only for two things j —namely, that the girls "deliver the goods"—L e.. that they make big •books”—and that they appear respeetj able. If they stay out so late at night I that they do not reach the store promptly in the morning they may be discharged, transferred from one department to another or merely not rise in the way of salary, depending on the degree of their misdemeanor. If the girl's book is unsatisfactory, she is simply discharged or transferred, and no reason is given, but if she is wisi she knows the reason why. If. on the other hand.'the girl is 1 good seller the buyer will excuse i great deal in the way of irre-ndvrit’ of habits. As long as a girl sticks closely to business she is allowed a great deal of freedom, but when her "book" begins to suffer it is time for her to "look out”
