THOUGHT THACKERAY A SNOB
the Irony in Retort Made by the
Great Novelist.

Thackeray created quite erroneous
impressions of himself by often in
dulging in irony in the presence of
people incapable of understanding
it. One curious instance is this: He
had been dining at the Garrick and
was talking in the smoking room
after dinner with various club ac-
quaintances. Ohe of them happen
ing to have left his cigar case at
home, Thackeray, though disliking
the man, who was a notorious tuft
hunter, good naturally offered him
one of his cigars. The man accept
ed the cigar, but, not finding it to
his liking, had the bad taste to say
II say, Thackeray, you won't mind
my saying I don't think much of
this cigar?' Thackeray, no doubt
irritated at the mans ungracious-
ness, quietly responded: 'You ought
to, my good fellow, for it was given
me by a lord.'' Instead, however,
Of detecting the irony, the dolt inn
mediately attributed the remark to
snobbishness on Thackeray's part,

ARE SNAKES FOND OF MUsIc7
Scientist Have Been Trying to Learn
Whether They Really Appreciate
the Sounds of Harmony.

Science has recently been studying
the question as to whether or not
snakes have really any appreciation
of music. This applies particularly
to the cobra, which responds to the
piping of gourd instrument played
by the East Indian fakir with a
rhythmic movement suggesting a
dance. The conclusion seems to be
that it answers to the musical notes
much in the same way as a dog
does-that is to say, through spe-
cies of nervous sympathy. When
the whistles blow at noon in the
Bronz ZOO the wolves set up great
bowling in concert. Whether or not
they enjoy this sort of music is dis
puted-though probably they do, for
some dogs undoubtedly take pleasure
in harmonious strains and will run
a block to sit up in front of hand
organ and "sing," while other dogs
unquestionably suffer from certain
kinds of music and express their
pain in lugubrious howls.
AS for the East Indian fakir, for
some unknown reason he>always car
.ries about with him a curious rag
doll in a cylindrical box, talking to
it as if it were alive in the intervals
of snake charming and the perform
ance Of juggling tricks:
