THE DUCHESS OF BEDFORD'S JOKE. . The Duke of Bedford, whose wife has just been awarded a prize by a French society for her zoological efforts, has been trying experiments with food (says M.A.P.). A favourite thoroughbred pony broke its leg while being exercised, and had to be destroyed. A clay or kg after a noted traveller and explorer, .who is a friend of the Duke, received a present of a mysterious joint, accompanied by a note from the Duchess, explaining that they had tried it themselves and found it good eating, and would, be glad to know what their friend thought it was. The remains of the riouy being served in th-i form of fillets and much enjoyed, th-3 traveller utterly failed to identify the meat, and on an explanation from the Duke was a little surprised, not to say horrified. The Duke had the skin converted into a coat for the Duchess's chauffeur.—[This reads like a " little bit" out of "The Jungle."]
