The Ass and the Little Doq.

Tie ass. observing how great a IA
sorite little dog was with his mas
ter, how much caressed and fondled
and fed with choice bits at every
neal,-and for no other reason, that
be could see, but skipping and frisk-
ing about, and wagging his tail.-re-
solved to initiate him, and see wheth-
er the same behavior would not bring
him similar fayors. Accordingly, the
master was no sooner cone home
from walking, and seated in his easy
chair, than the ass came into the
room, and danced around him with
many an awkward gaGnbol. The man
could not help laughing aloud at the
odd sight The joke, however, be-
came serious, when the ass, rising on
his hind-legs, laid his fore-feet upon
his masters shoulders, and, braying
in his face in the most fascinating
manner, would fain have jumped into
his lap. The man cried out for help:
and one of his servants, running in
with a good stick, laid it numerically
on the bones of the poor ass, who was
glad to get back to his stable.

the same time two signals. When he
raises his right hand. each animal
must make the noise peculiar to its
kind. AS son as he raises his left
hand all must be silent. The catch
in this is, that while every one else
is told to be quiet when the left hand
is raised the one To whom the name
Of donkey is given is told to bray the

Now. his honor as man of good

across a grand aria for soprano which
he concluded must be the one he was

Once more he started: ram-tamtam

THE NAMES HE USED.
They Helped to Sell the Wonderful
Works of Whistler.

They Helped to Sell the Wonderful
Works Of Whistler.
Though the peculiar nomenclature
Whistler adopted for the output Of his
brush and needle inevitably in it's
novelty excited ridicule and censure
and was surely adopted. just as his hir-
sutial orifamb was carefully cultivat-
ed, mainly as an advertisement to at
tract the custom Of the hunter after art
novelties and art bargains even as his
wand and fat brimmed hat We're as
sumed to mark him out to "the man IN
the street." there is no little to be said
in favor of such nomenclature by those
who recognize the sisterhood OF the
various fine arts. Whistler's early days
were passed in an atmosphere Of music,
and. apart from the masterful craving
Of erratic genius for novelty and his
appreciation on reaching manhood and
looking forth on the world Of the value
of new processes in systematic self ad-
vertising, it was therefore not unnatu-
raj that he should use musical termi-
nology in giving titles to the output OF
his work in graphic art. Why should
he not speak Of that work as sym
phonies or harmonies in white, In
green, in blue, in gray or what not?
Why should the word arrangement"
be confined to musical notes? Is not
what is perhaps his masterpiece, his
mothers portrait, really and truly, as
children say, an arrangement" IN
black and gray?-Critic.

The audience at a Bernhardt perform

The audience at Bernhardt perform
ance in Ohio had quite an exciting ex-
perience and were championed in their
rights by the actress herself. The mana
ger of the local theater and the represt =
tative of Madame Bernhardts managers
had a row before the curtain over guar
antees, one manager telling the audience
the play, which was Camille" would
not proceed, and that they might 60 home,
and the other assuring them that the
play would 60 on. When the situation
was becoming so acute that the orchestra
started to drown out the opposition,
Madame Bernhardt herself appeared and
told the audience that she would continue
the play. The managerial quarrel con-
tinued out of sight and hearing, but the
play went on to the end.

Cauae Of NOaeblee6.

In weak persons bleeding at the nose
is frequently hurtful and should be
stopped without delay, as continued
hemorrhage may prove fatal If neg
lected.
Those who suffer from poorness OF
blood or anaemia and are sometimes
seized with violent nosebleeding should
avoid as far as possible anything which
may tend to bring it on. Gentle exer-
else only should be taken, as violent
bodily movements may provoke repe-
tition of the hemorrhage. Even run
ming downstairs hastily should be
avoided. Bleeding at the nose is usu-
ally sign that something is wrong
with the system. The cause should, if
possible, be discovered and steps taken
to remove 1t.

was not that he failed to be a great
commander. He was wonderful in his
way; be knew how to collect 100000
men at a fixed point on a fixed date,
but when he had collected them he
never knew the least in the world
what to do with them"
So said Wellington, and on this oc-
casion he actually ate Soult's dinner.
which was in course Of preparation for
him. But, though the capture Of the
French marshal seemed inevitable, he
was already beyond the tolls, having
by supreme effort extricated himself
from perils as fearful as ever beset a
general"
It was a mastery retreat, and
throughout it he was not only watch
ing for the best advantages to be
gained, but testing the spirit Of his
men. His hand was almost on their
pulses, his eye was ever watchful, and
suddenly, by a stroke almost theatrical
in it's effect, he drew up the troops,
10000 in number, on the position he
had occupied two months before at
the battle Of Braga," thus rousing the
spirits of his soldiers.
He continued the retreat, facing ev-
cry difficulty Of country and weather,
but never deferred, and finally crossed
the Cavado 'in full time, for the Eng
lish guns were laundering on the
rear"
He had lost about 5000 men; he had
entered Portugal with fifty-eight pieces
Of artillery; he returned without a
gun. - Colonel J. Hanbury Williams,
