The poet who said that “Kissing goes by favor’ had not. been to Russia. or he would have known that the kiss is an establishâ€" ed custom in public as well as pri- vate affairs.” This is what a reader says who has lived most of his life in St. Petersburg. Among his favorite hosts in this capacity in the past have been the late Mr. Alfred Rothschild. Baron Hirsch. Lord James, the late Sir Charles Hall, and other intimate friends and lovers of sport. Now that the Prince hrs become a King the area of hospitality will naturally be more restricted ; but whatever houses our King and Queen honor with their presence we may be sure that. they will always be among the most delightful and easily pleas- ed of guests. But the visits the King loves best. of all are perhaps ,those he pays by himself to intimate friendsâ€"especial- ]y when there is a. prospect. of good sport. On these occasions he has always been less exacting. and he has honored many a host who has good shoot' 0, to offer who would scarcely have oped to entertain him under other conditions. 012 these occaâ€" sions, too, he can escape still fur- ther from the ceremonial of his or- dinary life and enjoy himself in as natural and unconventional a. Way as he pleases. ' the King really expects is that. the entertainment shall be simple. If his host. wishes to plwsc him the meals must be both simple and short, for the King is no love:- of elaborate or lengthy meals, and a dinner that. lasts longer than an hou‘i- is bore- dom to him. In houses where he is a frequent. guest this limit is always rigidly observed, and a. careful study is made of the dishes for which he has a. preference. please or anxinus to gii’c SignsuVr8 than__t_he King and Queen. All that Happily such experiences are of the rarest. occurrence, and both. the Prince and his amiable Consort have been able to enjoy all the charm of a private visit, without any four that. advantage will be taken of their temporary lapse into private char- acters. It is notorious that no "nests are less fastidious and more easy to Another point on which the King has always insisted is that. he shall be treated as a. private guest und not as a. future sovereignâ€"a request which demands considerable tact. from host. and guests alike. for none but a. person of rare social tact could consistently draw-the line heâ€" tween familiarity on the one hz-n'J and undue formality on the other. While the King dislikes needless carc- mony, no one could more crushingly remnt any familiarity that verges (1n disrespect. as more than one unforâ€" tunate fellow-guest has reason to remember. and the house in “hit-h he has experienced any presumption of this kind is not likely to stand well It. was also a rapid point of etiâ€" quette that such visits should be re- garded as strictly private. and any- thing like formal receptions or State ceremonial was to be avoided. More than one unfortunate hos: who has been indiscreet enough to depart from this rule. even to the extent of erecting an arch or of floating a few loyal flags, has had occasion to re- gret his indiscretion, for his future invitations have been declined. Even in such exalted houses it was always the custom to submit to the Prince and Princess a list of guests from which to select those they would care to meet, a. discrimination which the Prince never failed to exercise, although as a, matter 0! fact the lists submitted by such exâ€" perienced and tactful hosts required little revision. An invitation from Lord Iveagh. who has all the traditional charm of an Irish host, was always sure of acceptance ; and among other nobles whom the King and Queen have been pleased to visit are Lord Salisbury at Hatfield House; Lord Roscbery at, .his Epsom home, Lord Wimbome, and the Marquis of Abergavcnny.

But, however simple in his tastes and unexacting in his rcquirementsfi he was the last to forget 'tht was, due to his position. When the Prin-' cess of Wales accompanied him : ..c greatest care was exercised in the selection of hosts and guests alike,- and if there was the slightest failure in the etiquette or respect due to the royal guests the visit was never re-r peatcd.

He Was given to understand that the trouble was caused by bad circulation of the blood, but nothing did him any good.‘ He could not wear boots his feet were so swollen, :and when he tried to Walk his legs ‘ielt like sticks. Finally he was in- duced to give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a trial. He took six boxes, he said, but (lid not see that he was much better. He determined to quit taking them but was persuaded to continue them for a little while long- er. When he ham taken ten boxes he was gently improved and when hel had taken twelve boxes he was so well that he did not need any more. It is several months since he has taken them and he has had no re- turn of the trouble. When the repor- ter saw him he was wearing his orâ€" dinary boots. and he said he ~ could get into and out of a buggy as well as any man of his years in the country. These words were addressed to Mr. Andrew Gardiner. ui SmiLh’s Falls, by a. friend when he was in the depths of ducpomi‘cncy regarding his physical condition. For thvee years he had suffered A so much‘ that life had become a. burden to him and oftentimes he says, he almost. wished that, he might. die. Then he spent, miserable days and sleepless nights, no“: he is enjoying life. Then his feet. hands and limbs were stifi and swollen and he was ‘tormented with a constant stinging, creepy sensation in his body which gave ~him no rest day or night. : now he is as supple as ever he was, with the stillness, the swelling and the creepy sensa- tion all gone. He attributes it an to the use of Dr. \Villiams' Pink pills. Ont. :â€" "Thux-c is wonderful talk about. Dr. Williarvf I‘ink I‘ills, why don‘t. you try them ?” From the liecord, Smith’s Falls, j Perhaps one of the most peculiar courtshlps on record was that where- in a. young German and a. fair Eng- lish maid who had some slight ac- quaintance with the Teutonic lan- guage played the leading roles. The gentleman, who on his arrival in England lodged with the young lady’s family, pointed out to her that it would be to their mutual benefit if they exchanged lessons in their respective tongues. To this suggestion the daughter of Albion readily assented. and it therefore came about that, whilst the one conversed in broken Saxon, the other did likewise in semiâ€"intelligible Eng- lish. Later, when the German re solved to p83~ court to the fair in- structress, the same method of conâ€"‘ versation was sustained. and those persons who were privileged to over- hear the loverpassages that passed between the people were exceedingly amused. The gentleman would dc~ mand a kiss in barbarous English and be refused or accorded the favor in“ still more barbarous German. However, love_ is independent of lanâ€" guage. and in the fullness of time the queer courtship terminated at the altar. where it is to be hoped both parties contrived to utter their vows in the same tongue.

Entirely different, in its; leading‘ characteristics, but. queer enough in; all conscience, was the method of‘ courtship adopted by a solemn young drawghtsman. Throughout the entire engagement period he did not endow his lady-love with a. single gift, nor did he conduct. her to places of amusement. Even the frequent walks wherein lovers are wont to indulge were not sought. after by him, and his visits to the young lady were i LIMITED TO ONE PER. WEEK. 01: these occasions he would sit bolt ' upright in his chair, speaking no woxk save an occasional remark upon the weather. The maiden soon tired of this unemotional and eccen- tric style of courtship and gave the youth his conge, which he accepted with much equunimity, and departed without a. wonl of protest. 5 Some of Them Are Conducted on Most Unusual Lines. A friend 01 the writer whilst woo- ing the lady of his choice pursued a rather peculiar method of courtship. Every gift which he presented to the maiden during the probation period took the form 01 an article calculat- ed to obviate such faults as he had discovered in her character. Thus, a tiny alarm clock served to remind her of unpunctuality, whilst a. hand- somely bound little volume entitled "Hints on Good Temper" was pre- sented as a mild means of drawing her attention to her occasional out: breaks of illâ€"humor. Nor was thib all. Perceiving that her attire was occasionally in dire want of the needle, he sent the young lady a highly elaborate work-box, filled with every conceivable implement for the purpose of dress-repairing. Again having noticed that she indulged in powder for her face, he actually for- warded her a large jar of that ar- ticle. a gift, which so shamed the maiden .that she abandoned its use for evermore. Long before the wedâ€" ding-day she was a. changed girl. and the triumphant. suitor attributed the improvement to the queer lines on which he had conducted his court- ship. CURIOUS COURTSEIPS.

Que- bec. At; all events there is no other reasonable explanation of the disap- pearance of the wupiti. or elk, from both the provinces of Ontario and Quebec within the last, few decades. The only localities wherein it is now known positively to exist upon this continent. are the foothills of the American and Canadian Rockies and the country stretching away thence across the mountains to the Pacific Ocean. In this- habitat it. is still plentiful enough to aliord the finest a'nd most exciting sport. Another is furnished by the recur appearance of red deer in large num» bers on the nor-L11 shore of the v St. Lawrence, where they had not; been seen for many decades. They have been plentiful upon the south shore from Maine to the St. Lawrence, and have lately taken to swimming :Lcrom the rxver, as well as to wan- dering down cast. from the Ottawa and Catincau districts. Some Deo- ple think that the large increase in the number of wolves in Northern Quebec may have Something to do with the migration of some of these animals. One of the peculiarities of the va- rious faunilics of the deer tribe is their tendency to change their habit- at from time to time; not simply by roaming backward and forward, but. by doserting entirely a. whole prov- ince or other large tract of territory in which they were fornmzrly very abundant, and making that appear- ance in localities to which, for at least a. long time past. they had been ahnolutc strangers. The dcâ€" pantmc of the wupiti frmu the whole of Eastern Canada within Um. last ccnttu'V is an illustration of this pcâ€" (:uiiuritV'. Less than a century ago it was very plentiful in the Saguenuy dis- trict, where the Indians ‘huntcd it to such an extent for its skin that it became extinct. It. is, improbable that. it Was; similarly destroyed in all parts of the province, and anothâ€" er reason is given for its disappear- ance. ~ The proposal to stock the woods of the Province of Quebec with the Canadian \yupiti, or American elk, is finding great favor.
