Iumbus once hung on game OF chess
For years the schemer had haunted
the Spanish court, trying to interest
some one in his cause, but at last.
despairing, he determined to leave
and go to France. The night
before his intended departure he
sought an audience of the queen to
communicate his intentian and to take
his leave. The queen asked him to wait
while she made one more effort to in
terest the king, and left the room for
that purpose. Sh- found Ferdinand
engaged in a game Of chess. and dis
turbing him by her entrance and thus
causing him to lose piece, he let fly
volly of oaths at seamen generally and
at Columbus in particular, and then In
formed Isabella that the result of her
petition would depend on the result OF
the game. 1t grew worse, and things
looked blue for the discoverer of Amer
lea, but Isabella. overlooking the
board, whispered to his majesty sug'
gestion as to move that could be
made; the king adopted the sugges
ton, and America was saved.
1t is queer story, but no stranger
than the one told in Rome at the time
the divorce of Henry VIII. was under
discussion that the negotiations were
broken off by the earl of Wiltshire':
dog. This un-mannerly cur had fell
lowed his master into the court, and
when the pontiff. at the close of the
audience, put out his foot to be kissed
by the earl, the dog bit it. and SO an
gered the pope and Mortified the court
that the negotia 9lons were suspended
The story may be true or false, but
in either case is a excellent demonstra
ton of the value of the trifle, when the
trife occurs in the life of an exalted
parsonage, and gives point to the re-
mark made by Paschal along the same
line, that if the nose of Cleopatra had
been an inch longer or shorter the
course of the worlds history might
have been materially changed.-N. Y.

Dog Population OF Paris.

Paris has eighty thousand registered
dogs, says the Eleveur, which
means that there is one licensed
dog to every twenty-eight inhab-
itants. Granting that there are
as many unlicensed dogs as there
are licensed ones. the canine popula-
ton OF Paris is very large one indeed
The largest number Of dogs is found in
the poorest quarters. The estimated
cost of feeding the eighty thousand
dogs Is two million dollars per annum,
and they in turn afford living to
twenty-five manufacturers of dog coll
lars and nuzzles, four bakers Of dogs
bread, five factories where dog biscuits,
consisting Of meat fiber, are made, three
special dog pharmacies, dozen in
frmaries and two hospitals
