PUBLIC TEST

An Ambassador's Wajs. Ambassadors are customarily regarded as conventional people, but the last British Ambassador at Home had a reputation for distinctly curious departures from the normal of official behaviour. The Italians are a ceremonious people themselves, even the beggars being given at times to superlative politeness, and Sir Drancis Bertie's unconventionality amused and interested the citizens of Rome intensely. One story, which all the newspapers printed, tells how the staff of the Embassy and some foreigners gathered at the station in February, 1903, when Sir Francis, the new Ambassador was expected. As the train stopped a short, rather stout, man, habited in tweed knickerbockers, well-worn coat, and deerstalker hat. issued from the carriage, but no one took any notice of him. as all were looking for the elegantly-attired individual who was their beau idefl of a British Ambassador. Sir Frar.cis looked about him, took in the situation, calmly entered the waiting Embassy carriage, and was whirled off almost before it was understood what was taking place. When he gave his first garden party, his guests all appeared in the very correctest of frock coats and tall hats. A certain grave and reverend mor.signor was among the invited, and when he arrived was greeted by s small man in tweeds, with a round straw hat and a huge white umbrella under his arm. About, fifteen minutes later the prelate said unhesitatlingly, "Can you tell me which is Sir Francis ?" The answer was evasive land thaMonsignor left without having the slightest idea that he had been talking to his host. Another time a foreign Ambassador was just, stopping at the Embassy when hc saw Sir Francisi'tearing down the 'street, brandishing an umbrella, and calling excitedly. Anarchists or at least thieves were expected to prove I the cause of his excitement, but it was only some small boys hanging ,on to the back of Lady Bertie's carriage. Sir Francis made only a [brief stay in Rome, and on the retirement of.Sir Edmund Monson last year he"'was appointed to Paris. Frenchmen are more accustomed to I eccentricity than are Italians, and Sir Francis Bertie's ways will hardly excite comment now.

I A Masterton paper relates that a [few days ago a settler in the Upper I'lain noticed a hawk flying about in 'a peculiar manner, and crying out as if in pain. The settler obtained a gun and shot the bird, and investigation showed the cause of its distress was 1 a weasel which was perched on the hawk's back, with its teeth buried in the bird's neck. The weasel was also killed by the shot. Apparently the animal had pounced on the hawk when it was on the ground and had been carried skyward with the flight of its prej, A CLOTHIER'S CONVICTION.
