THE LETTER.

you may call them if you like. On the
right are shown three small lakes or
ponds.
The rudely-drawn bear in the upper
left-hand corner is the signature of the
writer, her coat-of-arms, so to speak,
and indicates that she is member of
the Bear family.
The figure of mullet below stands
for the person addressed-a man of the
Ntullet family.
The three crosses are the girl and two
friends-crosses because they are
Christians.
The two triangles indicate the wig
vans and the figure in the one is the
Indian sign for hand and tells the
visitor at which wigwam he is to call.
In little more elegant English the
invitation would read: Miss Bear in
vites Mr.. Mullet to meet her two Chris
tian friends-at second lodge from the
road beyond the lake.

Dogs Remarkable InstInct.

A remarkable illustration of dogs
intelligence has occurred in Sutton. A
married lady there has small pet, and
on her removal to London hospital,
owing to ill health, the animal became
greatly distressed, running hither and
thither in search of his mistress, to
whom he was greatly attached. A
week afterward the dog disappeared,
end two days later returned to it's
home footsore and weary. 1t subse-
quently transpired that the faithful ter
rier had found its way to the hospital
where his mistress lay. No one guided
him, and he travelled the whole way
alone. He waited about for hours, try
ing to gain admission, and finally, after
many rebuffs, succeeded in running into
the hospital and finding the bed where
the lady lay. With great delight he
hailed her, and after satisfying himself
that she was safe he trotted back to
Sutton, about IA miles distant.-London

And the stout gentleman, trembling
with his vehemence, puts his hand into
his pocket to get the money, when, be-
fore Agenor has time even to recover
from his bewilderment, new actor en-
ters upon the scene. 1t is the cabman,
all furious, with an oath upon his lips
and brandishing his whip in a threaten
ing manner.
"Eh. you! What do you mean? You
engage me for single journey. tell
you l cannot stay. You even order me
to hurry. And then you jump from my
cab like a madman and rush in here
without word. None of that for me.
1 have only one thing to ask. Pay me
my money quickly, Or" And the whip
goes round again more emphatically
than before.
Agenor understands nothing of it.
But the stout gentleman, who has
searched vigorously in all his pockets,
becomes suddenly pale, then red, then
redder still, then crimson, then violet
He is silent in stupefaction minute,
and then, in answer to a more vigor-
GUS demand from the cabman, he man

"Oh, yes! know" cries the enraged
cocher. 81 have seen that dodge before.
You needn't try it on with me. Come
along! you shall tell your talc at the
police Office" And he begins to drag
away by the shoulders the unfortunate
Chapoulot, who is ready to fall into an
apoplectic fit.
But Agenor, true providence for the
family, draws from his pocket the nee.
essary sum and dismisses the driver.
"You will allow me, SIR" he says to
M. Chapoulot, who, all at once under
standing that it is possible to forget

sELL-RINGINe COLLIE.
How an Intelligent English Dog Attracts
Attention to- HImself.

AS L believe that dogs very rarely un-
| derstand the use of mechanical con-
trivances, and that my young half-brcd
collie certainly does the use of bells,
hope you will admit a notice of him
among your records of intelligent dogs.
l have long, old fashioned bell-ropes in
my dining room, and when he was
six months old he noticed that when
| the bell was rung n door communicate
ing by long passage with the kitchen
was opened, and he could escape into
the kitchen for a romp with the serv-
ants and another dog who mostly lives
there, so he took to ringing for himself
when tired of the diningrCom, and still
continues to do so, though he is now
over two years old. His way is, having
made sure the bell has really sounded.
to go and listen at the door to hear it
the kitchen door opens at the other end
of the passage; if it does not after
waiting about as long as anyone elsa
would, he rings again, and again listens.
Once he pulled the bell rope down, and
[ happened tc be in the room when he
wished TO ring and discovered his loss.
He looked much discomfitcd; he then
| stood and thought for minute or two;
suddenly his countenance cleared up;
he had remembered there was another
bell-pull the other side of the fireplace,
so he dived under the sofa and chairs
and pulled that. Now, where he stood
thinking he could not sec the second
bell rope, and it is very seldom used, so
it must have been memory that helped
him. There are two other doors in the
room, but he simply barks or whines to
be let out of them, unless he is alone in
the room, when he will ring for the
servants whichever way he wants to 90.
The dining-room is the last of three
rooms en- suite, and short time ago the
dog was in the further one with Wis
itor who was too idle to let him out
when he asked to go; so, much to my
friends amusement, he walked deliher-
ately through into the dining-room and
rang the bell there. He cannot manage
the newer bell-handles IL the other
rooms.@Cor. London Spectator.

pointed to.
shall tell this just as it happened.
The first to be questioned was a stout
little fellow, the brightest in the class.
Hans" said 1, ''you may read the NUM-.
bers as point to them on the board"
So began to point and Hans began to
read, which was something like as fol-
lows: "Von, dow, dree, YOUR, wife, xix,
zeeven, ocht, MEN, den." THAT was
well done, Hans" said 1. "Now you
may read them backward"
The little fellows face darkened for
an instant, then suddenly frightened
as the idea how TO read them backward
came to him. He first turned his back
to the board and tried to read them by
looking over his shoulder, but failing in
this, he bent forward until his hands
touched the floor and looked from be-
tween his legs at the numbers back of
him on the board.
1 will not attempt to describe the up
roar among the rest of the scholars, nor
did at the time attempt to quell it, for
anyone who would not laugh at that
long-headed little German boy as he
placed himself in such ridiculous posi-
ton to read the numbers backward, is
lacking one of the characteristics OF
genuine humanity.-Jennie B. Hogan,

And NJ. Chapoulot goes out in furious
haste, while Charlotte timidly confides
to the sympathizing servant that she
knows even more of the young man
than she has dared to say. For month
past he has regularly travelled in the
same omnibus, and she has noticed that
he has noticed, etc, etc.
Agenor, in his bachelor apartment,
sits thinking over his experience of
the evening and vowing he will not
wash until the morning the hand that
had been touched by the dainty fingers
of Charlotte when she received the card.
Suddenly sharp rap at the door, a
violent opening and stout gentleman
out of breath, his hat upon his ears
and cane in his hand, breaks in upon his

and in most countries it is so old that
it has long been forgotten, but here
in America the Indians have practiced

Indian girl to friend whom she wishes
to visit her, will give very good idea
of this kind of writing, which it is like
