A PREcoCIOUS DOG.
The Wonderful Feats He Performed
For Joseph Jefferson.

For Joseph Jefferson.
There is story that is told of Jo-
seph Jefferson and the boys that had
to do with the training Of dogs. Il
appears that there was a gentleman in
New Iberia who owned very intelli-
gent animal, and he was most anxious
for Mr.. Jefferson to see an example of
his prowess Accordingly he brought
him to the island one day and put him
through his various tricks, which were
remarkably clever.
When the performance was over Mi.
Jefferson expressed his appreciation
and wonder at what the dog had done,
but added that he had an animal that
was even more remarkable. As the
gentleman seemed to be in some doubt
as to the truth of this statement the.
dog, a detected, stupid looking beast,
was produced, and Mr.. Jefferson or
dered him to go into his room and
bring him shoe
Obediently the dog trotted into the
house to presently reappear with the
shoe in his mouth. Taking it from
him, Mr.. Jefferson patted him upon
the head and told him to return to his
room and bring him the slipper for his
left foot.
"And, mind you, bring the left one"
he cautioned as the animal trotted
away.
When he returned in a moment with
the left slipper the gentleman could
hardly express his establishment, but
Mr.. Jefferson waved the matter indif-
ferently aside.
"It is nothing said he. However,
we viii now try something a little
more difficult" Then, turning to the
dog, he spoke to him very slowly and
carefully ''Now go into the library"
said he, s'look upon the bottom shelf on
the right hand side of the room and
you will see set of Dickens. Bring
me the second volume. Remember,
now, the second volume; not the first
or the third, but the second"
When the dog returned in few
moments with the S1cond volume in
his mouth the gentleman retired in the
utmost confusion, declaring that in
comparison with such prodigy his
own much vaunted animal was little
better than an imbecile.
And may add that Mr.. Jefferson
enjoyed the joke fully as much as did
the boys, who, according to a prear-
ranged plan, had placed each success
sive article in the prodigy's mouth. As
to the prodigy, his one accomplishment
consisted of trotting into the house
and trotting out of it again.-Nevil G..

Old Time salutations.

1t was the custom in France in the
seventeenth century to kiss a lady
when saluting her and continued in
common usage in England for a hum
dred years later. Royal salutations in
France required extreme formality.
One saluted the bed on entering the
royal bedchamber, and in approaching
the apartments of the king all head
covering, the .skullcap of priests in
cluded, had to be removed. In salut-
ing queens and princesses one kissed
the hem of the robe.

the traveller usually has the first

mountain, magnificent natural Curl
osity which rises behind the city to
the height of almost 1000 feet and
has a level top about three square
miles in area. Its resemblance to a
huge table is so marked that the
dense clouds which collect at times
around the summit are referred to as
the tablecloth. A pretty little flower
which is found nowhere else on earth
grows on top, while on the northern

and in an incredibly short time flooded
the hold and reached the engines.
The passengers were awakened by
the shock and fiocked out on the decks.
1t was then about half past 2 o'clock
in the morning. Those of the first and
second cabins behaved admirably, but
the Steerage passengers showed good
deal of excitement. The officers of the
ship did everything possible to reas-
sure the passengers, and the band was
set to playing popular airs.
A call for help was sent out by wire

Princess Irene, but long before her ar
rival on the scene the Slavonia's own
boats landed the passengers. The
Princess Irene embarked the saloon

the coOlneSS and kindness shown by
the captain. the officers and crew of
the wrecked steamer.
John Mitchell of Milwaukee In de-
scribing the accident said that he was
awakened about 2:30 a. III. by great
crash. There was much commotion
when he reached deck. but when the
officers explained conditions the pas
sengers became calm. Soon things ap-

was served ms usual, and the orchestra
kept Oh playing for several hours. Aft
er breakfast an officer went ashore to
make arrangements for landing.
The Slavonia lay only Il short dis

was experienced in transferring the
passengers to land, and they remained
there until the Princess Irene took
them off. No one was injured but, ac-
