This is rather a difficult question 10
answer. A dog about years old is no
doubt wiser far than a child double that
age. At dog is in his zenith, and
can be taught but little more. but by
this time, although he cannot speak, ex-
cept in kind of dumb language, he
knows everything that is said about him
that is, if he has been the constant
companion Of kind master and mis-
tress. We are too loath to admit that q
dog can understand quite deal that Is
spoken. especially II it concerns himself.
I am sure that. like myself, many OF
my readers could send me anecdotes in
proof of this. The following is sent me
by lady. 1t is worth reading:
my husband had at one time very
fine collie, which seemed to understand
conversation perfectly. On one occasion
he told his housekeeper that he was 60
ing to ride next day to his fathers place.
80 miles away, and, turning to his dog,
said, 'You will stay at home. Next
morning the dog was not to be seen, and
when his master arrived at his destina-
tion the dog had got there first. and was
peacefully resting under table. The
strangest thing was that the dog was
taken to my husbands. home by rail
and had never travelled on foot between
the two places. Edinburgh Scotch

Students of the musical history Of the
close Of the eighteenth century are IA
miliar with the name Of Mrs. Billing
ton. For some 30 years, at time when
the art of singing was perhaps at its
zenith, she reigned as one Of the bright
particular stars of the musical world.
Sir Joshua immortalized her as st. Ce-
ella, and in the fulsome fashion OF the
day it was said that Instead Of represent
ing her as listening TO the angels he
should have painted the angels AZ silent
before her. Michael Kelly, the pupil Of
Mozart, said of her, ~ thought her an
angel in beauty and the ST. Cecilia Of
song" and Haydn naiyely recorded In
his diary. "She is great genius. and
all the women hate her because she Is
beautiful. Her history is very curious,
and the brilliancy Of her career as an
artist is in strange contrast to the scan
dals which surrounded her. from her
very childhood.
The Georgian era was not period
remarkable for morality, ON or of the
stage, but making every allowance for
the exaggeration Of newspaper gossip. II
is impossible TO come to the conclusion
that the life of Mrs. Ellington was re-
markable for its virtue, even II the
darker accusations which were freely
brought against her are untrue. II says
much for her personal charm that she
remained from first to last fayorite
with the public, and her fascination as
q singer enabled her to triumph over
difficulties which, even in those days.
would have wrecked the career OF less
popular artist. t.-National Review.

but would prefer to play in Brockton. if
satisfactory terms could be arranged. Mr..
6urnham says that he was convinced that
the hennebecs had no valid claim to this
player, and that if he did not secure him
ne would go outside the league. Under
the circumstances, knowing Coyle's worth
as pitcher. he believed it to be his duty
to secure this player for Brockton, feeling
that in this course he would be doing no
injustice to the kennebec club. which
was bound to lose Coyle in any event.
Naturally the management of the Ken
neoecs could not see it in this light, feel
ing as they DO that their claim to Covle is
Just and valid, and that If any team At
tempts to deprive them of players 1t GER
tainly should not be one in their own
league.
Early in January, Mr. Burnham re-
quested Secretary Morse of the New Eng
land League, 30 write Ban johnson, the
president and secretary of the Western
League, and ascertain the exact stains Of
Coyle with the Toledo club. Mr.. Morse
complied with this request, and received
under date of Jan. II, 1896. the following
reply from President johnson:
The president of the Toledo club never
sent me contract with Coyle and 1 have
nothing in my records to show that be
was ever connected with that club"
ibis seemed pretty conclusive especially
when it was followed by letter to Score
tary Morse, from President Young Of the

saying that nc had 10 record of Covlo's
having signed contract with Toledo.
This was met by Manager Burnham
with letter received by him-while
manager Of the kennebec team-from
President Young, stating that "Coyle's
contract was promulgated by President |
johnson on Dec. II, 1884," Recently |
President Young has gone carefully over
his records, and verified this statement to
Secretary Morse. Mr.. Burnham also
claims to have the Sporting Life contain
ing President Young's bulletin promulpa-
ting this contract. Here the case rests nj
present. 1t will probably go before the
national board of control for final deci.
sion at the April meeting. There can bs
no shadow Of doubt Bat what the equities
of the case are with tie Kennebecs. and
there is good reason to believe that they
will appeal with sufficient force to tho
sense of justice of the members OF tho

applications for pensions for 1895 They
are alInumbered and indexed, and re
corded in the books from which, by refer
enee, the original application can be
found in the State House archives.
The system is very complete one, the
numbering being carefully arranged to
make matters as simple as possible.
There were received for the year 1885,
206s applications for pensions and of
these 1888 certificates were issued, leaving
$50 that were not granted The figures
for 1894 show that in that year, 1871
applications were received and 1902
certificates issued leaving 1879 that were
refused.
From this it will be seen that there
were 527 more applications for 1895 than
for 1894, and 1886 more certificates issued,
with the increase of 19l in the number of
applications refused for the year 1895.
