FISH SHOWS GRATITUDE.
Physician Relieved Agony of An In
jured Fish.

A gentleman walking one evening in
| the park at Durham, the seat of the
Earl of Stamford and Warrington,
came to d pond where fish intended for
the table were temporarily kept. He
took particular notice of a fine pike, of
| about six pounds weigh, which, when
| it observed him, darted hastily away.
In so doing it struck its head against
tenter-hook in port (of which there
We're several in the pond, placed to pre-
vent poaching), and, as it afterwards
appeared. fractured its skull, thereby
turning the optic nerve on one side.
The anguish evinced by the fish APP
peared most horrible. j rushed 10 the
bottom and. boring its head into the
mud. whirled itself around with such
velocity that it was almost lost to sight
for short interval. 1t then plunged
about the pond and at length threw
itself completely out of the water on
to the bank.
The doctor caught the fish, and, upon
examination. found that a very small
portion of the brain was protruding
from the fracture in the skull. He
carefully replaced this, and. with a
small silver toothpick, raised the IN
dented portion of the skull. The fish
remained sti'l for a short time. and
he then put it again into the pond.
1t appeared at first a good deal re-
lleNed. but In a rev minutes II AGAIN
darted and plunged about until it threw
itself out of the water second time.
A second time the gentleman did what
he could to relieve il. and again put 1t
into the water. The pike continued for
several times to throw itself out of the
pond and. with the assistance of the
keeper. the doctor at length made
kind of trepan for the fish, which was
then left in the pond to its fate.
lii n
pond the following morning. the pike
came to the edge of the water and
actually laid its head upon the physl-
clans foot The doctor thought this
most extraordinary, but he examined
the fish's skull and found it going On
all right. He then walked backwards
and forwards along the edge of the
pond for some time, and the fish con-
tinued to swim up and down, turning
whenever he turned: but, being blind
on the wounded side of its skull, it
always appeared agitated when it had
that side toward the bank, as IL could
not then see its benefactor.
Next day the doctor took some young
friends down to see the fish, which
came to him as before, and at length
he actually taught the pike TO come to
him at his whistle and feed out of his
hands.
With other persons it continued as
shy as fish usually are.
This was a most remarkable case of
gratitude in d fish for benefit re-
ceived

Ralph's bedroom was of the sitting

and his bed lay close to the wall. He
was utterly tired. but he dreamed, and
in his dream somehow Magog, the
snake, was mixed up. He dreamed the
snake was following him revensefully;
he dreamed it came up to him, run
ming; he dreamed it caught HIM; he
dreamed that he fell down; ne dream
ed that the snake coiled and struck
at his chest. He woke up with the yell
of nightmare-half chicken, horrible.

he heard another sound. He heard the
roar of released waters, the roar of
great rocks and tons of earth coming
slipping, sliding, dashing down the
mountain-a landslide, And Ralph
knew that his bungalow was right in
the path of the escaped waters.
He was out of the place in his pa
jamas just in time to reach high land
and see his bungalow swept away. De

praying.

GREAT DANE WHIPS LION.
Dog Masters Surly Brute After Fair
Fight

'Mardo" is the name of Great Dane
dog whose specially is taking the con-
ceit out of the king of beasts. He is
owned by Colonel S. A. Stephan, super
intendent of the Geological society of
Cincinnati, and has been trained to
watch the wild animals in the gardens
of the society During periodical car
nivals in which the gentler of the
beasts are allowed certain amount of
liberty, Mardo keeps them in place
very much as shepherd dog does his
sheep.
The latest exploit of the Great Dane
was to attack a lion that had turned
on its keeper. get a strangle hold on
the back of the lions neck and NAL
treat it so that the beast whined for
mercy, and, when released. went to its
cage with the air of whipped cur.
In describing the occurrence, Colonel
Stephan writes:
lone of the keepers had been break
ing the lion to be led by chain, and
had so far succeeded in training him
that he believed he could give him
little outing in the large building where
we had him Gagged. When he went 10
the cage to try the experiment, the
keeper saw that the lion had a sulky
fit; but, having set his heart on testing
the progress he had made with the big
brute, did what afterwards turned
out to be a foolish thing, he ignored
the lions sulks and led him out by
the chain. He fortunately had the wis
dom to call the dog Mardo, and tell
him to follow while the lion took his
lesson.
The lion feigned to come out of mis-
sulky fit when he saw Mardo, and
walked very docilely along for dis
lance of about seventy-five feet, when,
quick as a flash. he turned on the
IL nd m a
few seconds there would have been
tragedy. but Mardo went at the lion
like a demon. and his majesty of the
forest soon found that he had his
teeth and claws full of dog. and no
time to carry out his designs on the
keeper.
"Mardo Jumped on the back of The
lion. caught him in the back of the
neck and in vain did the lion try to
shake off the dog. The latter had L
grip that defied all bucking on the part
of the under animal, and all the time
he was chewing away at the neck OF
the king of beasts until the name OF
the lion was dyed red with blood, and
the beast half frantic with rage and
his inability to get at the dog.
AT last the lion fairly gave in.
Lying down he whined for mercy, and
the keeper. seeing that he was thor
oughly cowed. called the dog off. Mar

and was with difficulty restrained from
trying a second fall with the lion,
