How to make Donkey cease Brayin

FhOG HI 5 ClIlNESE
In 1910, we were once making n journey
in y wagon, in the province Of pekin. Our
o1uipage was under the guidance of one cat
echists, an old schoolmaster, mountod on a
magnificent ass, so full Of ardor and agility
that tho two mules who completed our team
had all the difficulty in the world to keep up
with him. This ass, however, was 80 flied
with the sense of his own superiority, and SO
proud Of it, that whenever he became aw ire
of the presence of any Of his brethcrn, let
them be ut ever so great distance, he never
failed to begin boasting Of it in such sonor-
Gus tones that his folly became quite insup-
portable. When we got to IN inn, instead
OF trying to rest himself, this interchangeable
beast passed the whole night in practising
his music, AMI there appeared to be some
thing so peeuiiasly provoking in the tones Of
his voice. that oil the asses within hearing,
Influenced, il Esaad seem, by the power of
some magic huid, were quite sure to respond
in magnificent bravura, SO that altogether,
it became impossible 70 close our eyes.
One evening, when our catcchist WAS
vaunting the qualities of bis ass, We could
not help interuptiGg him. "your ass,'' said
we. sis an abominable brute. During the
whole journey he has prevented our getting
wink of sleep"
"Why did yoS Iot tell pe SO teforo?'' said
the cateeAist; 81 would have soon stopped
his Singing
As the ancient schoos master Vas some

a smaH Joke, we took little notice of hio re-
ply. bat that night We slept quite soundly.

said he, when we met u the morning.
'Psrhaps not; Ut all evspts ve certainly
did net hsar him."
'sNo, NO. think not saw to that before
went to bed, You must have noticed" he
continued, 'sthst when an ass is going to
bray, he always begins by raising his tail,
and keeps it extended horizontally as long
as his song lasts. To ensure silence, there
fore, you have only to tie . large stone to
the end Of his tail, 90 that he cannot raise
it."
We smiled, without reply, think this was
another piece Q! plssanly; but he cried,
''Come nov and see; you can easily convince
yourselves" And accordingly We followed
him to the courtyard, where We behsld,
sure enough, the poor ass with . large stone
sttashed 10 his tai, and With the air Of hav-
