J1HMsON'S HOME FOR REM
Opportunity for Adnirer to Live In
House Where Famous Dictionary
Was Complied.

DR.. Johnson's house in Cough
square is "to let," and these is an
opportunity for an admirer to live
in the place where the dictionary or
most of it was actually compiled.
The doctor resided at Cough
square from 174S TO 1853, and We
know that the dictionary was begun
a year bcsore the first date and pub
lished in 1866. At the top of the
house, which is a large one, he had
a room fitted up for his five or six
assistants, whom he kept constantly
under his eye.
An interleavca copy of Bailey's
dictionary in folio he made the basis
Of his work, and he collected his au-
thorities by incessant reading, his
method being to score with a black
lead pencil the words he selected.
The house has many melancholy
memories. Here Johnson's wife died
in 1852 and left him more than ever
prey to his natural gloom. And
here he was arrested for a paltry
debt of Is lbs. and taken to a
sponging house in the neighborhood
of Cursitor street.
But it was here also that his
struggles met with their reward, and
when in the last year of his tenancy
johnson began "Thc Idler" he is
described as being in Gas easy and
pleasant state Of existence as con-
stitutional unhappiness ever permit
ted him to enjoy -I.ondon Chron-

A Safe Proceeding.

Lord Lyons, English minister at
Washington during the war between
the states and afterward ambassador
to France, was a diplOmatiSt to the
core. He was exceedingly tactful in
action and had the rare art of keeping
his own counsel. When Sir Edward
Blount called upon him one day at
the embassy in Paris he found that "A
we'll known journalist had preceded
him. The visitor was laying down the
law in Il loud tone. and when. after his
departure. Sir Edward WAS received
he took the liberty of saying:
MAY " be allowed to ask if it is
quite wise to discuss state secrets in
such a loud tone? | heard every word
that was said. my lord. as I sat in the
antcroOm."
"Ah." Old Lord Lyons. But even
then you could not hear what I said.

BIRDS FIGHT THEIR IMAGES.
But So Do Fish, for That Matter, According to
Darwin.

correspondent for the Scotsman recently re-
ported what he described as the curious freak OF
a backbird flying against parlor window many
times at the spot continuously Such an In
cident is not uncommon. Birds have been known
to fight for hours Al time. day after day. with
their own image reflected in pane OF glass. peck
ing and auttering against thN pane and quite ex
hausting themselves in their fury to demolish the
supposed rival 1t is another instance OF how the
arts OF our civilization corrupt and confuse the
birds.
1t is the same with fishes. Darwin tells
story OF pike in an aquarium separated by plate
glass from fish which were its proper food. In
trying to get at the fish the pike would often dash
with such violence against the glass to be com
pletely stunned 1t did this for than three
months before 1t learned caution Then when
the glass removed the pike would not attack
those particular fish. but would devour others
freshly introduced.
