Makart the Silent.

A good story is told by the writer Of
some "Recollections of Hans Makart,"
the distinguished Viennese painter,
whose remarkable picture Charles V.
Entering Antwerp In Triumph OBJ
tanned the first prize at the Paris In
ternational exhibition of 1878.
Makart was even more taciturn than
Won Moltke and had passion for
chess. An Englishman who desired to
get on friendly terms with the artist
was told that the best way to do so
would be to play chess with him at
the cafe to which he resorted nightly.
Watching his opportunity. the English.
man, when Makart's opponent rose,
slipped into his chair.
The painter signed to him to play.
and the game began and went on, with
no other sound than the moving of the
pieces. At last the Englishman made
the winning move and exclaimed
"Mate!"'
Up rose Makart in disgust and stalked
out, saying angrily to a friend who
asked why he left so early:
"Oh. can't stand playing with a
chatterbox"'

A ShakexDeare Leuend.

Visiting Stratford-on-Avon recently,
writes a correspondent, met with the
following legend. which may or may
not be based on fact. 1t was told to
me by man whose father had lived
ninety years, having had the story
handed down from his great GRANDPA
Their. who had lived 1O4 years The
story was as follows: At the grammar
school at Stratford-on-Avon, which
Shakespeare attended, dog named
Fiddler was great fayorite with the
boys But in the course OF time the
dog grew SO old and decrepit that the
head master. who was clergyman, or
dered his clerk to hang the dog.
Upon this becoming known in the
school one of the boys chalked on one
Of the outer office doors the following
lines:
Now that poor Fidler has grown so old
He can no longer bark
He is condemned by the parson
To be hung by the clerk.
The head master. seeing these lines
demanded that the boy who had writ
ten them should hold up his hand, and
William Shakespeare did so. The 9th
er boys We're dismissed and left
Shakespeare, as they thought, to have
good "whacking" But instead OF
this the head master gave him shil
lings and promised him that Fidlel
should die natural death.-Londo,

churches. and the following notices
were given out one Sunday by the
parish clerk In broad Yorkshire:

Too little is known of the effect of

efforts of the British Medical Journal
the "B. NJ j." to its readers to throw
light upon this important subject are
highly commendable. Careful obser-
walton convinces me that the B. NJ j.
is perfectly right in declaring Mark
Twain too hoisterous for conyalescents.

He fell into such paroxyisms of laugh

He wears a cork leg now, but seems

Another regrettable incident that
came under my observation: 4 man
suffering from fractured skull was
on the way to recovery. He was no.

physician had therefore prescribed
strong doses of Bill Nye and Artemus
