An E,rhteen-Rour Recitation,

Professor Arlini, of Naples, has just
performed a remarkable feat. Some
time ago he offered to make bet that
he could recite the whole of Dante's
"Divine Comedy" by heart. His abil-
ity to do this was doubted, and his
wager was taken up. A select au-
dience was invited to hear the profess
sor, who acclaimed from o'clock in
the evening until 2 o'clock the next af-
ternoon. The reciter stopped occa-
sionally, but 1t was not because he
had forgotten the poem. 1t was SIM
ply to moisten his tongue with sugared
water. He won his wager, for the au-
dience had to confess that he got
through the $4,000 verses, more or less,
of which the poem is composed. with
out the least difficulty.

Rev. Anna Shaw's friends are rela-
ting an incident concerning q horse
which Miss Shaw purchased while on
visit to Cape Cod. The reverend
lady is a good judge of horse1esh, be-
sides being highly ACCOMPLISHED in
numerous other ways. She has been
heard to declare that David Harum
himself would have difficulty in over
reaching her in the matter of a trade.
Inc Cape Cod animal which she Dur-
chased proved to be satisfactory as to
speed, temper and disposition, and for
several days Miss Shaw looked after
his wants herself, there being no man
on the premises just at that time.
Rev. Anna finally secured the services

Ing to deliver a lecture III town not
far from Boston. The man entered the
stall to perform the usual duties of a
stable help and was at once kicked
into lnsensibility. He soon recovered,
but refused to go near the horse again
and the animal Jared rather poorly I'M
til Miss Shaw's return. Then another
man was hired, but he met, similar
reception. A third keeper was en-
gagged, Miss Shaw conscientiously in
forming him as to the experience of
his two predecessors. The newcomer
made some inquiries, as to the ante
cedents of the horse and found that
it had always been cared for by. the
wife of its former owner. Borrowing
skirt and an old sunbonnet from
Miss Shaw the man went up to the
horse in safety and from that day to
this has never had any trouble with
the animal. -:

DESKS WITH HIDING PLACES.

A desk manufacturer says that in the

for desks with hidden springs and Sc

preceding years put together. Some Of
them have intricate mechanism, and
by pushing secret buttons the walls
are made to fly open and narrow crew

new demand for hidden hooks and

no satisfactory explanation. 1t would
seem, however, that the man Of affairs

William Crosswell Doane, Episcopal
bishop of the diocese of Albany, who
has just Issued volume of poems, is
one of Albany's striking figures. He
dresses in the style Of the English
clergyman, and in personal appearance
he would readily be mistaken for an
Englishman. In his walks about the

companied by his faithful dog, a fine
specimen of the Great Dane breed.
Whenever the bishop is invited to de-
liver the prayer in the senate or as
sembly he bids his dog lie down in the
corridor and wait for him. Then he
hands the animal his shovel hat. The
dog takes it between his teeth and new
