How he Knew Him.— A discussion arose in a coffee-room as to the nationality of a gentleman at the other end of the room. “Heis an Englishman,” said one, “I know by his head.” “ He’s a Scotchman,” said another, “ I know by his complexion.” “ He’s a German,” said another, “ I know by his beard.” Another thought he looked like a Spaniard. Here the conversation rested, but soon one of them spoke. “I have it,” said he, “he’s an American ; he’s got his legs on the table.”
