A Clever Collie.

7. Sidney Cooper, the English animal
painter, says that he often made valua-
BILE studies in Cumberland at places
where Scotch droyers halted with their
cattle for the night. On such occasions
he often had chance to see illustrations
Of an animals intelligence as well as OF
its physical perfection.

man, but before | had finished it the
dog grew fdgety with the wet plaid,

The dog took the end Of it between

As the dog did not appear we went to-

The LITTLE EARTH ANGEL.

/ used TO read of angels.
But their eyes were always blue,
And as mine were black, I'd wonder
II could be one too.
tried TO love our Father,
And my neighbor as myself.
But when people saw my eyes
They said, "a wicked little elf"
loved Gods birds and flowers.
And the sparkling little springs.
Wandering down tho mountain side
With such strange murm1rings-
longed TO be an angel,
And dwell With God IN heaven.
But thought I never could. because
My hair was black and even.
In vain searched the pictures,
Since everywhere found
That angels all were very fair.
While ] was tanned and Drowned.
But one day, when dreaming
OF all that was to be,
There came like lightning's cleaning
This happy thought to me;
Altho' like angels up in heaven
i may not ever be.
Yet like an angel on the earth
My Father would have me.
So, kneeliEg in the sunlight.
Among the flowers and birds,
Out through the forests stiffness
There went 10 God these words
sOh, Father. If l am too brown
To dwell with angels fair,
Yet let me be one on the earth,
And serve thee everywhere;
And make me live a long. long time,
Until my hair turns white:
Until in thy sight am fair
And Ike an angel bright"

What Intermittency Means.

Intermittency is that form of Irregular
ty in which the pulse appears to drop a
beat occasionally. In some instances it oc-
ours regularly and two or three times per
minute for several hours; sometimes, also,
it is very irregular, and is noted number
of times within a few seconds and not
again for minute or more. This pecul-
iarity generally causes much uneasiness;
yet. while it may be very serious symp-
tom and associated with grave and incura-
BILE disease of the heart it often signifies
merely functional disturbance which ID
in no wise dangerous.-Halls Journal Of

The Reason for 1t.
He Was Wise.

There's at least one lawyer in Detroit who
has his doubts about the immortality of
human affairs, and he is a serious man
with wife. 1t is his custom to put on
his Office door, when he is going out tenn
porarily, notices somewhat of this charac
ter:
'Gone TO lunch; back in half an hour"
"Gone to court; back in three hours
Gone out to see man; back in ten min
utes.''
And so on, as the circumstances may re-
quire, and as he is prompt man, callers
are generally successful in waiting for him
One day last week caller found this on
his door,
"Gone shopping with my wife; back the
Lord only knows when"
The caller being married man himself
didn't wait; neither did four ladies who
called IN body, for they were going shop

Kings Daughters, Concert.

The concert at the Peoples church
last evening was all that the most fas-
tidiOuS musician could have desired it
to be. But the audience was not large
enough by half, for the appearance of
an artist such as Nine. Fannie Bloom
tield-ZeiSler. who has justly been called
Ole of the greatest living woman pian-
lists. Nine. ZeiSler plays with power
ulSweeping touch, to which is added
an Infinite delicacy, and the fascination
of singular mannerism completes the
spell in which she holds her audience
fast and well-nigh breathless Her
playing is not only a brilliant musical
feat. as in the "rOccata ct Fugue," of
Baehtausig. or the 'tScherzo," of Men
delSSOhn, but it is the expression of an
understanding soul. This is shown
clearly III her Interpretation of Schu-
mans exquisite composition, "Des
Attends" her sympathetic chords seem
ing TO fill the air with the fantastic
shadows of the coming night. The
other artists were Franz Wagner, the
eminent 'cellist, who play ed admirably
the Concerto in B Minor'' from Golfer
mann first and second movements and
The Lament0" aLd"La Cinquantaine,
by Marie; Marie NJ. Van Gelder, So
prano, who sang The Air de Salome,"
from "Herodiade;" Hans Jung, tenor,
who pleased his audience well by the
rendering Of GUunOd's Lend Ne Your
Aid" But the interest of the audience
very naturally centPred in Nine. Zeis-
Ter, whose claim TO being a great artist
will not be disputed by one who list
ened to her playing on this occasion.
The fund thus raised goes to st. Luke's
hospital and OTHER charities.

presidential nomination for Gen. Alger.
| regard his chances of receiving the
nomination as decidedly improved dur

grow, as indicated by recent state con-
Ventions, or if by his own motion the
president should finally conclude to de-

chances would be as good as auy ones"
Senator McMillan's attention was
called to receDt alleged interview in
the New York Mail and Express, in
which he was reported as saying that
President Harrison would certainly be
renOmlnated, and as betraying luke
warmness towards the candidacy OF
Gen. Alger. To that the senator re-
piled:

foundation. | was among the first to
