Dtvhunt, the Australian ten|li champion, tall at a dinner party In Mew York: "American waiters areamuch superior to those of Spain. Traveling Is cheap and comfortable in Spain; Hying Is cheap and comfortable there, but Spanish waiters are Often rude. "They are particularly rude to Americans and to those whom they mistake for Americans. The old wound, you see. still rankles. "In Madrid one day I entered a restaurant and ordered a cut of beef. The waiter, after a long delay, brought the beef to me?a miserable, tough and grisly cut. " 'Waiter, said I, Ms this beef from the black bull they killed at the bull fight yesterday?' "The waiter looked at mo with a sneer. " 'No, monsieur,' he said, 'It is from one of the horses that they killed at the bull fight.' " Not Quite "Priceless."

Japanese Diplomat In Londora The Jap is by naiure a diplomat, j writes a correspondent of M. A. P. Here in our midst the Viscount Hayashi was long a respected figure, but the man who has familiarized us with Japan, and done most to advance her cause among us, is undoubtedly the Baron Suyematsu. As one of the crowd of ' Young Japan." who, as the outcome of the revolution sought a new life in Europe, young Suyematsu (with more than one of the generals who have met Russia at the front), made Cambridge his alma mater, and then returned to Japan. As the son In-law of Marquis Ito, here on a diplomatic mission, the baron reappeared among us two seasons ago, and rapidly became a familiar figure in Ix>ndon drawing rooms.

Prebabiy the largest sawdust pile la qjp world Is the one ft Cheboygan, Mich. This Is the product of onesntll Operated by the W. A A. McArthur Company. The mill being run by water power had no way of disposing of its sawdust. The company was not permitted to dump it into the river and for a few years an attempt was made to burn It. There was so muca malfo that lha ??"?1 ? ??- ? ~ f faiioca uu ordinance prohibiting that form of destruction. Ah u consequence it was simply hauled out into a vacant field and during the thirty years of Its growth has acquired monstrous proportions. It is a hill 1.080 feet long. 875 feet wide, and ranges from 20 to 50 feet In height. The hill covers some twelve acres. I* Is almost entirely white and Norway pins sawdust, because this mill did not cut hemlock except Tor the last two or threo years before It was closed down. The pile Is undoubtedly rottipg a little at the bottom, but it Is well preserved and bright when it Is dug into, the top and sides having crusted over form a protection for the aawduet underneath. In its present state it contains rather too much moisture to admit of being used for fuel without treatment by some process of drying. A number of chemists have examined it with a view to extracting the chemicals which it contains, but as yet nothiug has been done in this directlou. There is no question but that it has a considerable chemical value and prcJfcably the tituc will come whea some one will fiud a way oi working It up profitably. Cmntootl.
