III, Pranks OF Yale.s students.

Freshmen. both in Yale University
and in the Sheffield Scientific School,
ARE this year a peculiarly ambitious
and adventurous set of fellows, who
cause the Sophomorcs much annoyance
by their having, in violation of the lat
ter's cdicts, dared to have placed their
flags in various lofty and dangerous
places, having on more than one oc-
casoa risked their lives to plant the
class standard where it would seem in
accessible to everything save birds.
Saturday night s.Sheff's Freshies"
planted the flag of IS on the highest
gable Of the Peabody Museum, where
it tioated proudly during the birthday
of the Father of His Country
Having placed their flags on the tall
pole on the green, and nearly 200 feet
above the ground, on the topmost
point OF the City Hall turret, on the
Ballett Chapel organ loft and even
above the boxes of the Opera House
during the Junior promenade few
evenings ago, they naturally feel that
the flag campaign is noble and glcri-
Gus one, and that the class OF IS will
be as remarkable as the noted classes
of 50. 81. aud other prominent classes
who have sent out men who to-day en-
JOY n worldwide reputation. The class
of SO also has members that have two
fists and faculty of using them,
which, when cultivated, may carry
them over rough places caused by the
opposition of those in the classes above
them.

An Honest Dog.

Have you room for one more dog
story which resembles one lately re-
ported in French journal? A few
years since | was sitting inside the door
of shop to escape from the rain while
waiting for trap to take me to the
railway station in the old Etruscan
city of Ferentino. Presently an i'll
bred dog of the pointer kind came and
sat down in front of me, looking up in
my face. and wagging his tail to attract
my attention. What does that dog
want?'' | asked OF a bystander.. "Sig-
norc," he answered, The wants you to
give him soldi to go and buy you
cigar with. gave the dog the coin,
and he presently returned bringing
cigar, which he held crosswise in his
mouth until took it from him. Sent
again and again, he brought me three
or four more cigars from the tobacco
shop. AT length the dogs demeanor
changed, and he gave vent to his impa-
thence by two or three low whines
''What does he want now?n | asked.
ale wants you to give him two soldi to
go to the bakers and buy bread for
himself" | gave him 2-soldi piece,
and in a few minutes the dog returned
with small loaf of bread, which he
laid at my feet, at the same time gaz-
ing wistfully in my face. ''Hc won't
take it until you give him leave said
the bystander | gave the requisite
permission, aud the dear animal seized
the loaf and disappeared with it in his
mouth, and did not again make his APP
pearancc before left the city. HE
always does like this said the stand
ers-by, whenever he sees a stranger in
Ferentino. London Spectator.

The IEraternal Cont.

In Bucks county is a farmer who has
fine, large shepherd dog. The farm
or also has goat. and this latter ami
nal has often rendered valuable as
sistance to the shepherd dog in keep
ing other dogs away from the sheep.
Before the goat came parties OF dogs
used to call on the sheep. and while
two of the mutton-hungry dogs would
engage the attention of the shepherd
dog the other dogs would GO for sheep.
But the goat changed all that Not
Il cur in the neighborhood would dare
to attack the goat, aud the farmer S
sheep have enjoyed an unusual degree
OF protection.
4 few days ago the dog disappeared.
Tic farmer d dn't worry himself much,
for he thought the goat was still at
haed But when he found the goat
Was gone he became alarmed for the
safety Of his sheep and search was in
stitutcd.
The roads OF the neighborhood were
explored and people were asked if they
had seen i stray shepherd dog or
stray goat. Most of them had seen
neither. Nobody had seen either alone.
Along one road every toll-gate or eoun-
Try store reported that dog and goat
had been seen iourneying together in
the most fraternal manner. One or
two people had tricd-they said they
had seen somebody else try-to steal
the dog, but the goat had impressed
them very strongly with the idea that
they must steal him. too. The queer
pair were inseparablc. In the course
Of a week or ten days, they were found
in barn on a farm some six miles dis
taat, where they were apparently
happy and contented together. The
dog was handsome one and an effort
was made to bring him home alone,
but he would not come without his
companion The goat had to be al
lowed to come home, too.

Oyster Eaters.

Princes, poets, pontiffs, orators,
statesmen, and wits have gluttonized
over the o4s.er-A bed Oysters were at
one time, it is true, in danger of being
forgotten. From the fourth century to
about the fifteenth they We're not much
in Use: but from that date to the pres
ent time the demand has never slack
eAed. Going back to the times which
we now regard 1 classic, we are told
that we owe the original idea of pisci-
culture TO 4 certain Scrgius Orata, who
invented an oyster-pond in which to
breed oysters, not for his own table, but
for profit.
ytclius ate oysters III day long, and
some people insinuate that he could
eat as many as a thousand at one sit
iing-a happiness too great for belief.
Gallisthenes, the philosopher of Olyn-
thus, was also passionate oyster
cater, and so was Caligula, the Roman
tyrant. The wise Seneca dallied over
hlS few hundreds every week, and the
great Cicero led his eloquence with the
dainty. The Latin poets sang the
praises of the oyster, and the fast men
of ancient Rome enjoyed the poetry
during their carouse, just as modern
fellows, not at all classic, enjoy song
over their oysters in the parlor of 4
London or provincial tavern.
In all countries there are records of
the excessive fondness of great men for
oysters. Ccryantes was an oyster
lover, and he satirized the oyster-deal-
ers of Spain. Louis TX, careful lest
scholarship should become deficient in
France. Toasted the learned doctors of
the Sorbonne once year on oysters;
and another Louis invested his cook
with an order of nobility as a reward
fer his oyster-cookery Napoleon, also,
was an oyster-loyer; SO was Rousseau,
and Marshal Turgot used to eat a hum
dred or two just to whet his appetite
