DIR. Caius' Respect For the Dogges.

DIR. Caius, "a most shining light of the
University of Cambridge, its jewel, its
glory, according to his translator, in 1876,
Abraham Fleming, "wrote an epitomc
concerning British dogs, not SO concise as
elegant and useful, an epitomc compact of
the various arguments and experiences Of
many minds for the use of Conrad GEES
ner, the Swiss naturalist.
This is his estimate of the emotion Of
grief, or, as he calls it, Glove in the dog:
"This kind of dogges, called defending
dogges, hath this principal property en-
grated in them, that they love their mas
tiers literally and hate strangers despight-
fully. If it chauncc that their master
be oppressed, either by u multitude or by
the greater violence, and so be beaten
downe that he be groveling on the ground,
it is proved true by experience that this
doggc forsaketh not his master; no, not
when he is starcke dead. But induring the
force of Punishment, and the outrageous
tempests of the weather, most vigilently
watcheth, and carefully keepeth the dead
carkaSse many dayes, cndeayoring further
more to xii the murtherer of his master,
if he may get any advantage Or else by
barcking, by bowling, br furious jarring
and snarring and such like means, bctray-
eth the malcfactour, rs DESTROYS to have
the death of his aforesaid master rigorous

who married a halter at Mortaignc, in
Normandy. She was engaged in the iaun-
dcring department at the Petit st. Thorn

sales of damaged silks and odds and ends
of machine made lace. She used Mt night
to make up what she bought at these sales
into cravats, jackets and childrcn's frocks,
according to patterns she studied at tho
Petit St. Thomas. On her way in tho
morning to her work she sold them in u
market. She did so well that she had soon
to get help, and then took poky shop in
the Rue du BAG, where the west entrance
to the Bon Marchc now stands. Tho rulu

In tho tentative struggles she and her
husband learned business without heavy

King James Books.

Some very fine binding was executed for
King James /, who during his entire life
was an enthusiastic patron Of letters and
art In some OF his books the thistle is in
troduced with heavy corner pieces, and the
arms in the center. One fine piece of work,
now in tho British museum, Is in bright
brown calf, powdered with nowerdc-luce.
Another folio in crimson velvet has the
arms of England embroidered on both sides,
with gold thread on groundwork Of yell
low silk. The kings initials arc worked
above The lettering is in leather, and the
boards are tied together by rcd ribbon,
constituting regal book in every particu
lar. John Gibson, in Scotland, and the
Bankers, in England, were appointed to be
the kings binders, but there is little trace
of their work now extant.-Chambers

EaIf Board FOR Horses.

Some stables take horses on half board,
also sometimes called thrce-quarters board,
which means that the stable supplies the
feed and cares for the stall, while the own
or of the horse cleans the animal and hooks
up himself. There is some economy to the
stable in this plan. Fewer men are required
to take care of the horses, and so there is
some saving in wages. but on tho whole
there is more profit in full board. The OBJ
ject of half board is to attract horse own
ers who might otherwise take the entire
care of their horses themselves The saw
ing to the horse owner is s5a month
half or threc-quarter board costs s2O full
board s25. In some stables single stalls are
let just like single rooms in houses, and
in this case the horse owner furnishes his
own feed and takes care of his horse and
the stall as well.-New York Sun.

THE HORSE.
Mans Noble Equine Friend In History and
In Legend.

The horse Is widely known and COM
mented ON In history and legend He has
MS afhsrents everywhere, and none has
Deem more ardent in his praise than were
the ancient Persians, who looked on him as
something sacred, led him in the van of
the army, had legends of the beautiful
creature saluting the sun and taught their
children, as the ne plus ultra of education.
TO draw the bow, to speak the truth. and
to ride. In Greek mythology the chariot of
the sun was drawn by four white steeds,
Eos (eastern), Aithon (burning), Bronte
Uhunder) and Astrape Qightning), and
we all remember what success attended
Phaeton's attempt to control theml
When Neptune and Minerva disputed
about the yet unnamed Athens, they agreed
that whoever should produce the gift most
useful to man should be counted victor in
the strife. He struck the groand, and the
first horse appeared; she caused an olive
tree TO grow, which, being considered the
most useful article, won her cause for her.
Greek, too, were the centaurs, half man,
half horse; the mares of Diomodcs, who
fed on human flesh and whom Hercules
captured, and Pegasus, the winged horse
of the MUSES., who sprang from the blood
of Mcdusa. Nor should one overlook the
notable horse of Troy. Al Bcrak-- "the
lightning the horse that conveyed
Mohammcd from Garth TO the seventh
heaven. 1t was milk white, with the wings
of an eagle and human face. The old
Norsemen held that day and night had
each "a horse, that OF day being Skinfaxi
(of the shining mano); that of night,
Hrimfaxi Crime or frost mane). Odin pos
sesscd an eight footed steed, called Slcp-
ncr (the Slippery, and the gian. Holm

Omcns We're derived from the neiE;hings
of horses, and the eating of their flesh was
religious rite, while a horso's head set
on pole was called nithing post, and
brought evil TO the person toward whom
its face was turned. The white horse still
rcigns as the badge of Kent and Hanover,
and the "Whitc Horse" in Berkshire must
be fresh in the memory of all who have
read of it's Securing" In sanity legend
Hippolytus is the patron saint of horses,
and on his feast day, Aug. Is, they were
led up for benediction in the church of
Royston, in Hertfordshire. Perhaps no
other animal is so widely celebrated In
fact and fiction, history and legend.

ONE FlEND TOO MANY.
And His Presence Disturbed the Audience
Not Less Than the Actors.


Up to the year l7i6 there seems to havo
been no regular and permanent theater i'm
Scotland In that year the foundation
stone of the Canongatc theater was laid by
Mr.. Lacy Ryan of the Covent Gurticn thea
ter, London. At the prices then customary
wiz, IS. Cd, Is. 6. and Isl full house
was worth from 500 TO sos On special
occasions, such as the benefit of II popular
actor, us much rs go was taken, but only
by admitting spectators TO tho wings and
even to the stage itself. Sometimes tho
stage was so crowded in this way that the
actors had not sufficient room to carry out
their Cuisines" properly, and, if engaged
in a duel, had to shorten their lunges for
fear of pinking patron. 1t is to the credit
of Garrick that ho was the first to set his
face against this abuse and To close tho
stage door even to u prince of the blood.
Those were days in which every theater
led II prccarious existence. Actors were
barely tolerated. They were, legally, "vag-
abonds." Their profession was considered
immoral, not only by the great bulk of the
public, but, in way, by themselves. A
curious illustration of this had been afford
ed a little while before at thcater in Lon
don In play called "The Sorcercr" (ti-
ties repeat themsclvcs) dance of flends
was to be performed. They were masked
and dressed in the usual manner, with all
the Dantesquo accessories to make them
terrible. They were IL in number But,
in the midst of their performance they
discovered to their horror that thirteenth
had joined himself to them This was too
much for the actors
Conscious of the fact that they were
considered by most men fit candidates for
the special attentions of the arch fiend,
they fed in all directions before the un-
welcome visitor, if haply they might yet
escape the destruction which they believed
was coming upon them. Owing to this
general stampede, the supernumerary devil
was never unmasked. But when the panic
was over, it was remembered that there
WAS a thirteenth Internal toilet, which
might have been assumed for the occasion
by some practical joker At tho time,
however, the direct intcrpositiun Of satan
was firmly believed by the actors and tho
,audience The actors fled the audience dis
pcrscd to carry to their homes the tidings
of this terrible avatar. And SO profoundly
did it affect the Imagination of somo of
the spectators that they profossed to have
seen the intruder fly away through the
roof of the theatcr, and to have been them
selves almost suffocated by the residuary
