A Celebrated Dog

Wordsworth and Scott both celebrated
in their poems the famous old Gelert.
This dog, deerhound, was given by King
John to his son-in-law Llewellyn, who
kept him at his hunting lodge. in the
neighborhood or the Welsh mountain
Snowdon. Gelert was missed one MORN
ing from the hunt by his master. Llewel-
lyn, upon his return to the lodge, saw the
dog, and discovered that It's mouth was
besmeared with blood. Concluding tnat
the dog mad devoured his child, the infur-
lated master slew the poor animal. Upon
investigation. he discovered dead wolf
by the child's cradle, while the child was
safely and soundly sleeping. The brave
dog had saved Llewellyn's heir from the
wolf. A monument was erected to the
faithful creature, which bears tue name
of Beth -Gelert. t.-Hdqpeq''s Young People.

Girls and Compliments.


Not to value honest praise, not to
enjoy the appreciation Of ones fellows.
to be Indifferent to their good as to
thor i'll opinion, is less likely to be Il
mark of lofty superiority than of III
tense satisfaction.
Kindly people, friendly people, mod
est people like to be praised They lind
Il compliment agreeable which is sin
cere and not excessive, and in one way
or other are pretty sure to manifest
their pleasure in it.
OFTEN, however, they do so against
their will, says the Youths COMPANION,
making ali the time Il poor pretenSe Of
indifference which they suppose to be
demanded by modesty or politeness.
Sometimes they go further, and in
sistently declaim praise which they can
not but know is fairly me1ited. Again
they giggl9 foOlishly, or try to waive
the matter aside with an airy gesture
and laugh that does not ring true.
Girls especially, who are most likely
to receive compliments, are least likely
to receive them well. Often a pretty

by her silly embarrassment at a few
natural words of admiration for her
youth and freshness.
As she f1ushes and laughs, looks up
and then down, and turns her head
consciously aside, one feels that there
can be but little admirable about her
except her beauty, if that is so impor-
tant to her that a mere reference to it
in her presence moves her so easily
Or a clever girl, who thinks it due to
her reputation for cleverness to dispise
compliments, will repel where she has
just attracted by airs of poorly-aCted
disdain.
There is no real difficulty in accepting
a compliment. It is neither vain nor
undiSnitied, but rather gracious and be-
coming, to take pleasure in giving
pleasure. Therefore, if a girl has given
pleasure, either by her appearance or
by her actions, and if some one tells
her CT it there is always something
honest, simple and suitable that she
can say in reply:
L am glad that you were pleased"
Il am glad you think [ did WELL" Or
Il aln glad you approve my work"
There is no need either to discIaim or
to assent to the praise uttered, there
fore there is no reason why one should
be embarrassed in its acceptance. Let
every one admire honestly, but let one
also honestly receive admiration that is
coulteously and honestly expressed
1t is lovely to be loved, delightful to
be admired, agreeable to be praised.
That is what every girl feels, and what
no girl need be ashamed frankly to
acknowledge. She need be ashamed
only if she imagiEes q compliment,
which after all is a trifie, into some
thing sufficiently important to discon-
cert her, ar rewards honest appreciation
with insincerity and pretense

Many Believe While Others Disbelieve
That Cholera Is in the Metropolis

Many Believe While Others DisbeIieve
That Cholera Is in the Metropolis.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-What with the
assertions and denials made regarding
the presence of cholera in England it
would be hard to decide whether or
not the cholerine cases that have oc-
cured have been true Asiatic cholera
or not.
In some quarters it is positively as
serted that there is doubt that true
cholera has effected an entrance into
the country, while on the other hand
it is just as positively asserted that
the disease is nothing but simple chol-
era from which no danger need be ap-
pretended.
Dr. Whitcomb, the sanitary officer
at Gravesend who inspected the steam
err Comma, which arrived there from
Hamburg on Thursday last, and three
of whose passengers subsequently died
from what was said to be Asiatic
cholera, emphatically denies that the
disease was the dreaded eastern
scourge He attended all three of the
victims in the hospital and says they
died from cholerine. He further says
that the emigrants OF the Comma
were not of the poorest class but were
greatly superior to the general run of
foreign Jews who arrive here.
The London Evening News has re-
opened the agitation against the entry
OF pauper aliens. 1t demands that the
government issue an order to prevent
the entry of imports or immigrants
from cholera-infected ports. 1t adds
that several of the immigrants from
the steamer Portia have now gone to
the east end of London, where they
will probably develop the cholera in
the next few days and become centers
from which death viii spread through
out the city

Girls Some Things They shouJd Learn,
and C0reJuIIy Observe.

She should learn to seat herself
without touching the chair and also
to rise from a chair and also to rise
from a chair without using her hands,
says the New York World.
She should learn to handle a goblet
by its stem and not by its bowl
She should learn to make a pretty
bow.
She should learn-as she learned her
alphabet-that a gentleman should
always be presented to lady, never Il
lady to a gentleman.
She should learn that it IS bad form
to congratulate q bride at a wedding
One cOngratulates the bridegroom AMI
wishes the bride happiness.
She should learn that it is the worst
Of bad taste to appear thoughtful or
absent minded in company.
She should learn at table to let her
soup from her; to use her fork only
in the fish course; to lay knife and fork
aside when she passes her plate; TO eat
out Of the side Of her spoon and to fold
her napkin neatly if she is in a private
house.
She should learn when she goes
driving, to sit upon a mans right,
unless he is handling the ribbons.
And lastly she should learn that in
violating matters Of etiquette it is just
the SAM as in other misdemeanors.
The same rule holds. Ignorance of
the law is no excuse"
