Likes Being Hunted.

The extraordinary intelligence and
skill displayed by reynard when be.
ing hunted makes it extremely prob.
able that he, in common with the
huntsman and the hounds. feels the
keen pleasure of the pride of art-an
important constituent of the spirit of
the sport. In proof Of this, an old fox,
when fresh. has often been observed to
wait Tor the hounds, apparently with
the purpose of drawing them on, and
so giving IN opportunity for the dis
play of his skill. The fox owes his
present existence in England to his
skill in providing sport, and 1t is not
therefore unreasonable to suppose that
he has acquired the sporting instinct,
just MS the pointer, the hunter and the
terrier certainly enter into the spirit of
the sport for which they have been
bred and to which, therefore, they owe
their existence.-LOndon Standard.

Accidental suees.s.

II literature" said publisher,
popular success frequently comes b.
accident, A remarkable case was that
of J. H. Shorthouse. This man, poor
chemist. spent some years writing a
book called John Inglesant.' But the
publishers would have none of John
Inglssant,' and finally Mr.. shorthonse
printed 100 copies at his own ex-
pense
only forty Of these copies sold, one
purchaser being photographer. The
photographer took Mr.. Gladstone's
picture some weeks later. and the old
man. chose studious pose. sitting with
a VOLUME in his hand. He bent in
absorption over the work, which hap
pened accidentally to be John Ingle-
SAINT and in the thousands of copies
of the photograph that were sold by
accident the books name was plainly
to be made out.
Mr.. Gladstone was regarded as a
great critic, and the people thought he
desired to recommend John Ingle-
SAINT What was the result? Within
the year 100000 copies of John In
glesant' had been sold, and Shorthouse
was a made man."
