 If fool knows a secret, he tells it because he is a fool; if a knave knows one, he tells it whenever it is his in- terest to tell it.

 It has always been the practice of mankind to judge of actions by the event. The same events, conducted in the same manner, but terminated by different success, produce different judgments; they who attain their wishes never want celebrators of their wisdom and their virtue; and they that miscarry are quickly discovered to have been defective not only in mental, but in moral qualities.

The Dog Called the Servant.

The possession of an intelligent dog m the family may be a very useful means out of emergencies. Not long ago some members of family return ing from an evening entertainment were unable to gain an entrance to their house. The key had been for gotten and the servants were evidently asleep. Ringing the door bell produced no response. The only sound indoors was that of the dogs tail gently thump- ing against the rug, but after time that ceased. The dog had recognized his friends and refused to bark. When all efforts to enter seemed fruitless the door was opened by a sleepy servant, accompanied by a very wide-awake dog. It seemed that this friend of the family had made his way to the serv- ants room and had gently awakened her to a realization of the situation. As he had never been permitted to enter the room before, it is evident that his sense of the needs of the occa- sion had shown him that he should not wait for a ceremonious invitation Boston Journal.

Queen Margherita of Italy.

Queen Margherita of Italy possesses many graces and accomplishments, and while she is we'll versed in classic and modern literature, she is also one of the best violoncello players of the day. Wishing to pay special tribute to Italian genius, she not long ago had published at her own expense, for the education of her son, an elaborate edi- tion of Dante's works, containing much that has been written about the poet, with the reproduction of every picture inspired by him. She is also an ardent patron of the arts and industries of her country, and under her fostering care the manufacture of BuranO lace, once apparently lost, was saved from extinc- tiOn. Her alms-giving is munificent but practical, and in her religion she is neither a bigot nor a freethinker. Her attitude toward public questions has been so wise and polite that she is generally loved by the people, and the greatest criticism made of her by her enemies is that she does not dress in good taste. -Harper's Weekly.

THE SULTAN'S HAREM.
Three Hundred Wives Too Many for the
 Ruler of the Faithful.

Three Hundred Wives Too Many for the
 Ruler of the Faithful.
 There is a screw loose in Turkey. Some plot or other has been discOv- cred, and the consequences are being seen in a number of mysterious ar rests, and in wholesale measures of punishment against the press. The fact appears to be that a serious palace conspiracy for deposing the Sultan was detected in the very nick of time. The Sultan was so unnerved by the discovery that he sent for Sir William White and asked for his advice. Sir William answered that the Sultan could only live in safety if he put down his harem, not as a question of morals, but as matter of policy. seeing that it was impossible to exercise supervision over an establishment of 300 ladies. The Sultan, who is practically monogamist, would be glad enough to get rid of his 299 brevet spouses, but the customs of his dynasty forbid him to do this. On his birthday and on twenty other days in the year he in variably receives from his mother the present of beautiful slave, and this young lady has forthwith to be trans ferred to his establishment in the ca pacity of harem dame, with house. hold of her own, consisting of at least four eunuchs and six female servants, to say nothing of horses, carriages and grooms Multiply the number o1 these households by 300, and it ceases to be astonishing that the expenditure of the Sultan's civil list should amount to f4, 000,0 900 year. A large item in this sum represents the dowers which the Sultan pays to his slaves when he marries them. To favorite of ficials, about 100 girls are married from the palace yearly, and each of them is entitled to receive E10,000 Unfortunately, the bridegroom who takes wife from the Sultan's hands must, at his earliest convenience, make a present of a slave to keep the staff of the imperial seraglio up to it's proper figure. The Sultan loathes the whole thing, but what is he to do? There are too many vested interests engaged in keeping the imperial harem SUD- piled with wives, and if the Sultan were to cashier his entire female es tablishment he would certainly be de- posed or murdered.

It is not often that a rooster has any particular desire to take bath. but a Port Dram, N. J., bird lately showed that under the pressure of ne- cessity he could swim like duck. He was chased by dog to the edged of the Morris canal. and, seeing no other mode of escape, he jumped in. The dog followed. but the rooster using both wings and feet as propellers, forged rapidly through the water. An eye witness reports that the winged one was the faster swimmer, and when he strug- gled up the opposite bank the dog was a bad second. The triumphant rooster stood upon the shore and crowed for over a minute, and, while thus engaged in self-laudation, the dog landed and almost succeeded in catching him by the tail. He saved himself by dutter- ing into tree,

THE TARANTELLA.
An Ancient and Picturesque Dance Origi-

 mated by the Greeks.
 In the lower part of the Hotel Tramontano, at Sorrento, IS a room where, whenever the proprietor calls for them, number of Sorrentino men and women come in their picturesque costumes, and to the sound of pipe, timbrel, guitar, mandoline (the an- cient lute), castagnettes, etc., foot most prettily and vivaciously this curi- ous dance, which has come down from the old Greek days.
 Pliny the Elder wrote of it, and de- scribed it most fully. In his day it was called ''the dance of Gades" (Cadiz), because it had been brought to great perfection in that city on the Atlantic; but he says it was imported into Gades by the Greeks, who, you remember, had large settlements around the whole of the Mediterranean shores, and far up the Atlantic coast in Hispania and Lusitania. The tarantella in Spain is to-day called the .fandango," and so it is in P ortu- gal, in Brazil, and in all Spanish Am erica. Cautiously enough, the first time that 1 ever heard fandango airs played was on summer night in the Plaza of Cadiz. But in no part of Spain or Portugal, or Latin America, will you see the fandango, or taran- tella danced as in Sorrento. It is there in its perfection, and it is not merely dancing that you have, but they also sing the popular Neapolitan airs, for the dancers are singers, as many of your readers will testify who heard them at the Italian Exhibition in London last year. One of them-a falegname Ca carpenter)-played most exquisitely on the mandoline. l think that never heard the air I'll Pesca- tore" from ''Lucretia Borgia' more sweetly and touchingly rendered than by this little carpenter on his man. doline. The leader, whose name is N Neapolitano, is, as l was informed by the head waiter of the TramOntano, a
  Der of Seville" The other guitar play CT, Antonio, is also good composer of music; the little young fellow, who danced so capriolacally-to coin a worlds an olive-wood cutter, and the other male members of the corps are mechanics in various callings; while the women dancers or silk weavers, or, as married, keepers of their own houses. The tallest woman, and one of the most graceful of the dancers, is the wife of the little mandolinist.
 I forgot to say that in addition to the instrumentation mentioned, they are accompanied by small but very fair orchestra. No one who goes to Sor- rento should fail to see and hear the tarantella-dancers. A collection is taken at the close of the performance, and all are supposed to contribute at least two francs each-- Paris Cor American Register.

 a favorite in spite of it's destructive qualities. To shoot one of these rapid flyers when in pursuit of flock of ducks, the hunter wants shotgun, well-charged with heavy duck-shot. The bird does not soar about in the air as do the buzzard-hawks, but often ap- breaches within a very reasonable dis tance of the gunner.
 The little pigeOn-hawk, though a tiny creature compared with the duck hawk, rivals its larger companion in its rapid flying. It is seldom shot. even by the best of woodsmen. It is always on the move, restless and quick, watching with the keenest of eyes for danger or prey, and ready at mo- ment's notice to enter into the widest sort of race. It doubles up, circles around, dOdges, falls and rises alter nately with such rapid motion that the largerehawks can seldom capture it. They kill thousands of pigeons, doves and robins every season, catch ing them with apparent ease.
 Of the chicken-hawks, as they are called, the small Cooper's hawk is probably the boldest and most de- structive. It is pretty bird, with white breast and dark ashy-brown back, and it is found throughout North America. Every body is its enemy, and it is killed whenever pos soI, dow in fhn week. It flies close to the ground for its prey, but its ever-watchful eye de- tects danger as quickly as it does food. Rabbits, grouse, squirrels, lizards and snakes are also it's prey.
 A few other feathered brigands are worthy of passing notice. The little sharp-shinned hawk initiates its larger companions in destroying wild pigeons, cartridges, grouse and song-birds so successfully that sportsmen are killing it whenever a shot is obtainable. The wOodpecl1er is quick bird, and can usually escape hawk by dartipg around tree; but the sharp-shinned hawks are too much even for these artful little birds. The hawks usually hunt in pairs, and they very easily outwit the most cunning bird. They have a zig-zag. wavering flight when they are searching a woods for prey. The squirrel-hawk is another destruc- tive creature that hangs about in the woods and along the sea-coast, de- strOying small birds by the wholesale. Squirrels, mice, moles and reptiles are devoured hy them. They are dull and sluggish compared with most of the other hawks, and lack their dash and boldness. The marsh-hawk, or harrier, is probably one of the least destructive of the whole feathered tribe of brigands. Its feeding-ground is low marshes, where it destroys field mice and small birds. Agriculturists are in favor of protecting this bird. in asmuch as its services in destroying mice and moles more than compensate for its destruction done in other ways. It is easily shot by hunters, but it fights fiercely when only wounded. In the Southern States the planters vel come it, for it serves most effectually to drive rice-birds off the rice swamps. Unfortunately it has been trapped and shot so universally that it is getting very scarce in North America-a fact that can not but be deplored by all who understand the nature of the bird. George Ethelbert Walsh, in Harper's Weekly.
