Tho Dog Could Not Forret.

Sir William Fraser says that one of
the saddest sights he ever saw was at
Intcrlalsen, where he was standing on
the hotel steps watching the arrival of
travellers. noticed that whenever a
carriage drove up in the evening a
large dog trotted out to it, wagging
his tail and looking at the travellers.
For five or six days in succession this
went on. No one seemed to notice the
dog, who retired every time to his cor
ner. ! asked Il servant at last what it

TIE ELGlN MARBLES.
Ths Question OF Their Restoration Ono
OF Artistic Expcdlency.

The Question OF Their Restoration Ono
OF Artistic Expodlency.
Every year or SO it is rumorcd in
Athens that we are going to send these
stolen treasures back. England is the
only nation in the world which has
ever been known to surrender valua-
bic territory unthrcatencd and simply
on sentimental grounds, says Bickford
smith III Greece Under King George"
III England gave up the Ionian islands,
they argue, worth several millions
sterling, why should they not give
back the marbles which, if put up to
auction in lots. would hardly fetch Il
million?
capt. Irant, writing i'll 1880, said that
it was reported that the king of Ba-
varia, who WAS q great Phlhcllene,
had expressed his intention of making
his Glyptothcls at Munich disgorge the
Aiginctan marbles and restoring them
to Greece. He rightly thought it prob
lcmatical, and they are, of course, still
at Munich. Oddly enough, the people
who abuse lis most for having robbed
the Parthcnon are not the Greeks but
the French, who have done more of
that kind of thing than any nation
since the Romans.
This occurred to Chatcaubriand, who
confessed TO II certain amount of mild
spoliation himself, and he attempted
to contrast our thcfts with those of his
compatriots; his first distinction that
they did not pull down to take away is
plausible, but will not bear cxamina-
ton. rs the bare places they left be-
hind them i'll Italy were quite rs great
cycsorcs, and the precious prey did not
stand in so great need of protection;
his second distinction, that in their
case the glory of France required it,
smells too much of vanity for us to
have anything TO do with it.
The question of the restoration of
the Elgin marbles is one of artistic OK
pcdicncy. Few Englishmen would
maintain that we had Il moral right to
keep them longer than is necessary in
the interests ofart. The first question
to he decided is whether they are iuorc
, useful to the world in London or in
Athens. If il he in doubt the original
ownership of Athens should shift the
balance of proving the superior ativan-
taGcs of London on to us: if 1t be adj
united that Athens is the more suita-
bic place for them, the question re-
solves itself into selecting the right
moment for their restoration This
Will obviously be when they will be in
no danger from eithcra foreign enemy
or Il revolutionary mob. | am inclined
to answer the first question i'll favor of
Athens To the second | should reply
that as long as Dclcyannism exists the
marbles must stay in the British muse
um, which means that, before they go.
the criminal statistics must show a
very marked improvement and the
drachma must get to within ten per
cent. of its nominal value.

and bore four holes in it, one in each
corner. This is the swing seat.
You need four Stats of wood two the
length of the seat, two the length Of
the ends of the seat. with holes bored
at each end of the Stats.
Run the stout cords through the hole
on one side OF the seat, fastening the
end by Il big knot underneath Then
pass each twinc through three spools;
you now have Il column Of spools on
each corner at the back Of the swing
seat. They are intended to hold up the
Stats for the arms of the swing.
The twines are then passed through
the holes in the back slat; also through
one end of each Of the arms.
Allowing a good length to servo as
the swing rope. each Irvine is next put
down through the Stat that CROSSES the
front Of the swing; then through the
front ends Of the arm slat; next
through two spools that arc set over
the hole on the front side Of the swing
seat. and last through the seat hole
itself, where it is knotted on the under
side.
This sounds like puzzle, but if YOU
have your spoolS, Stats and cords all
ready and follow directions you will
find that you have made swing ex-
actly like the one described here
The front slat slips up and down the
cords when dolly is to be put in or
taken out. TO finish it very elegantly
you must gild the seat, Stats and spools.
a rod is passed through the two cords
and laid on the chair backs whom the
swing is to be used.-Annic j. Willis,

HOW lie shocked tho JinEoes of London
In Heading "The Revenge"
A capital story, which is quite au-
thcntic, is told about the late laureate
and his wonderful poem, 1.-The Re-
vengc." 1t was first published in the
Nineteenth Century in 1873 or 1870. On
the eve of its publication Tennyson in
vited between thirty and forty of his
most intimate friends to his house in
Easton square, in order that he might
rccite this patriotic piece to them. Ie
Is well known that Lord Tennyson
was an excellent man of business. Had
he written Paradise Lost" he would
have been both very hungry and very
cold before accepting ten pounds
sterling for the copyright. A letter of
his is in existence which, after offer
ing the right to publish his works at a
certain price, ends with declaration
that, whether the publisher accepts
his offer or not, he (Lord Tcnnvson)
would not accept "a blessed penny"
less! In fact, he was very much like a
certain Leeds banker who, when asked
by customer to cash draft for a
large amount over the counter, replied.
Eve do nothing for nothing for no.

of Lord Iloughton" there is an anus
ing letter from the late laureate,
which compares the writer of poetry
for nothing to the milking of the
goats. When the recital of The Re-
vcnge" in Easton square took place,
there was much lingo feeling about in
fashionable society in London, and
not few infected persons were among
the select audience. As the poet pro

rendered all the more attractive by his
Lincolnshire accent, the favored few
hung upon his words. When he reached
the last lines:
And the whole sea plunged and fell on the shot

And the little Revenge herself went down by
the island crags.

the feelings of all present were strung
up into excitement and enthusiasm.
when, to the amazcment of all. the
laureate added, without the slightest
pause, and without the least change of
tone in his voice, land the beggars
only gave me three hundred pounds
sterling for it, when it was worth at
least five hundred pounds sterling or
more"

Clergymen are supposed to have
peculiar talent for improving the oc-
casion." How one of them did this in a
witty and, let us hope, an cdifying
manner, is related by the Boston Jour

accident which left him with broken
nose, dcformity about which, in spite
Of his picty, he was known to be lit

There is no doubt at all that dolls
would DC much more lively and inter
eSting if they had more anusements
provided for them, and could play and
take more exercise.
Little girls know how it is them
selves. When they are obliged to stay
indoors for any reason, and have only
II book and rocking chair, and II lit
tic walking about by which to amuse
( themselves, they find life very stupid.
, There is no reason why doll should
not have Il chance to play and enjoy

her doll with u swing, for instance.
/ There is II way to make very pretty
one; but one still easier can be ar

clock after you get the things you need

First you select one of the dolls
chairs, Il good, roomy one. If she has
plenty you can saw off the legs of this
one and keep it as Il permanent swing.
Next tie two long, stout pieces of
Irvine or tape on it, by fastening one
end of each to the back OF the chair
and its other end TO the end of the arm
on the same side. The pieces of Irvine
must be exactly the same length.
Two short pieces of pretty ribbon
must next be tied where the back and
arms of the chair meet. This COM
plctes the swing. Now set dolly in
and then tic her in securely by bring
ing the pieces of ribbon around in
front of her. fastening them in IL bow
knot.
Now slip cane or any other rod
through the long loops of twinc. and
hang up the whole by resting the rod
across two chair backs. Then you can
give her Il most delightful swing, and

What Good Roads viii DO.

Better roads will increase the market
value of all farms lying in the neigh
borhood where the improvement is
made, and indirectly increase the val
ucs of farming lands at distance.
They will increase the carrying power
of wagons, economic the drawing
power of horses, and thus render fewer
horses necessary, save ha rncss, wagons,
help and numerous incidental expenses
which bad roads entail. Wheelmcn's

The present condition of our roads
undoubtedly costs the country, and the
farmers of it especially, every year
vastly more than the interest on the
largest sum necessary to put them in

in most things, should, as a simple
matter Of fact, be behind the whole
