Entertaining are some anecdotes told
OF Gonella, Jester 70 Borso. Duke Of Fer
rara. IN the Fifteenth century. As Go
nella was on his way q mass. three blind
beggars implored an aims OF him. Here
- a florin FOR YOU, said tho Jester; "di-
vide 10 among you" He gave nothing.
and passed on. The beggaiS invoked
blessings on him. each supposing that
one OF MS fellows was in possession of
the coin. When they wished To divide
the gift, not ono Of them would allow
that he held il. and they mutually ac-
cused each other Of cheating, and from
words proceeded 10 blows. Gonella
watched the FRAY with great complacen-
cy, and, when the beggars were all
bruised and bleeding, he went on &c
church with clear and calm conscience
The Duke Of Ferrara fell III, and the doc
tors declared that only sudden fright
would restore him to health. He was
too great man for any one 10 piav
tricks on, except his fool. Gonella was
with him in boat, and cleverly pushed
the duke into the water. Aid had been
previously provided, and the prince was
drawn ashore and put 10 bed.
The fright and the bath and the bed
cured the invalid, but he was so enraged
with Gonella that he exiled the man who
was both fool and a physician. Go
nella returned in a cart filled with Pa
duan soil; an evasion of the edict OF ban.
ishment said to have been practiced by
may a jester. The duke ordered him
10 be beheaded, but saying privately
that he would only repay fright with
fright, he directed tho executioner no,
70 use the ak, but to let fall a single
drop of blood on the culprit's neck. Go
media was led to the scaffold; all the
usual gloomy preparations were made.
BE was blindfolded and made TO Law his
mead on the block. The executioner.
from a vial, let fall drop of water on
Gonella's neck. Then amid shouts and
laughter, the jester, silent now, was bid
den to rise and thank the duke for his
clemency. But Gonella never moved;
be was dead-killed by his masters Jest.

Took Charge of the stick and Hat.

A gentleman in Glasgow owned very
intelligent Newfoundland dog. He ac.
companied his master wherever he went.
and was his inseparable companion in
his visits and to church. One evening
the gentleman went 10 visit neighbor.
The dog attended him. 1t was quite late
when the gentleman started for home.
and, TO his surprise, his dog could not be
found. After the family had retired tc
bed there was great noise in the kitchen.
II was supposed that burglars we're rob
binS the house. Soon there was a crash
and q smash like the breaking Of win
dow, and then all was still. The morn.
ing revealed the mystery. The dog had
fallen asleep under the table He was
sensible that his master had gone home.
and the noise heard was the atternpt Of
the dog to make his escape. As there
was no other way to get out, the SAGA
cious animal went through the window
taxing the glass and frame with him.
II was long time before his master
visited that house again. When he did.
his dog accompanied him, and the ami.
nal found his way through the open
door of the kitchen to his old hiding
place under the table. When the master
started for home. neither his hat nor
cane could be found. After a long
search, the dog was discovered fast
asleep under the table, one paw was in
hls master hat. the other resting on his
stick. How tho dog obtained possession
of these articles no one could tell. lie
remembered his last visit 70 tho place.
and how scurviiy be was treated The
sagaclous creature resolved not 20 be left
behind the next time Re know that
his master could not 90 homo without
TIC hat and stick. and that he would be
awakened when his owner got ready to
walk His plans were acutely laid. and
II he had been a human hc could not
have done better Exchange.

Many people are under the impression
that cucumber is very indigestible, and
when they eat it they do SO under pro-
test and with apprehensions Of possibly
dire consequences. How this delusion
can have arisen it is difficult to say, un-
less it be that cucumber is often eaten
with salmon and other indigestible ta-
BILE friends. It is not the cucumber,
however, but the salmon that sits so
heavy upon our stomach's throne. Gu
cumber, in fact, is very digestible when
eaten properly. It cannot, indeed, be
otherwise when it is remembered that it
consists mainly Of water, and that those
parts which are not water are almost ex-
clusively cells of a very rapid growth.
In eating cucumber it is well to cut it
into thin slices and to masticate them
thoroughly. Even the vinegar and the
pepper that are so often added to it are
of service to digestion if not taken in ex-
cess. The cucumber, as every one
knows, belongs to the melon tribe; but
in our somewhat cold country it does
not grow to any very large size, and
therefore it is frmer and looks less di-
yestible than its congener, the melon

The cry which comes up from the
watering places is as regularly associat-
ed with this season in the public mind
as cucumbers, ice cream and russet
leather shoes. It is worth noting, how
ever, that the wall this year Is more deep
and heartfelt than it has been for. many
seasons past. If things go on at the
present rate before long the government
will be importuned to take hand in
supplying the summer resorts with
young men. Their scarcity bids fair to
rank as public grievance. Some of the
published lists of the entertainments
given at the watering places are curious
ly suggestive.
In one dispatch from Narragansett,
for instance, ON Sunday the details of a
delightful impromptu picnic" were
given. A list of the guests was append
ed. There were four young men and
twenty-seven young women. At an ''in-
formal dance in Newport on the same
day it was said that for the first time in
the history of that famous watering
place girls danced with one another since
there were not enough men to go around.
Such condition of things as this at
Newport is absolutely unprecedented. 1t
is not difficult to find out where the
young men are by the way. They are
grinding away in New York, and can
did and unprejudiced survey Of the field
gives the impression that in view Of all
the circumstances they are doing pretty

Ewes tomb, which is In graveyard
surrounded by high white walls, and
which has not been opened for o single
interment for over thousand years, is
the shrine of thousands of devoted
Ishmaelites, who make a pilgrimage
to the spot once every seven years. II
is hemmed In on all sides by the tombs
of departed sheiks and other wOrthies
who have lived out their days in thai
region of scorching sun and burning
sands. Once each year, on June 3
which is, according to Arab legends
the anniversaly of the death of Abel,
the doors of the temple which form
canopy over the supposed tomb Of oul
first mothe- remain open all night, In
spite of the keepers effort to close
them. Terrible cries of anguish are
said to emit from them, as though the
memory of the first known tragedy
still haunted the remains which blind
superstition believes to be deposited
there.

A Bug with Two Green Lanterns.

Mr.. A. W. Habersham found on Ex-
change place beetle about one inch
long that has back Of his eyes two spots
that give out dazzling phosphorescent
green light sufficient to illuminate his
surroundings for distance of several
inches. When placed on his back he
rights himself with spring and a snap
ping sound. It is hence inferred that he
belongs to the family "Elater." AS
such beetle with lantern is not known
to be resident of this country it is sup
posed that Mr.. Habersham's find is an
immigrant from Brazil or some tropical
country where bugs that carry lanterns
are not uncommon. on.-Baltimore Sun.
