THE BETTER I’ART.
A delightful little story is told of Prosper Merimee, the French author. He was once guest at a royal hunt, when hares, pheasants and other game * were driven before the Emperor and his followers, and the servants picked up the victims of the sport. Among all the members of the hunting party, Prosper Merimee alone had iio trophy to display. “How does this happen?” asked some one. “Where game is SO plenty, the fnerit of a marksmen seems to me to lie in hatting iiothing," replied Mcrifnec with grave courtesy, “so I fifed between the birds.’*
