“Indeed,” said the Worshipful Mas- ter, composedily ; “then I hope, my dear, Four project will be successful, ‘Js it a benevolent society or what ”

“That's none of your business. It is a secret society, and we’ve sworn a

A Dog that Understands.

There is a Newfoundland dog of the historian’s acquaiotance, Lion by name, who gives daily proof of his compre- lepsion of what is eaid to him. A lady called on bis mistress the other day. During her call Lion came in rather slyly, lay down on the parlor carpet und went asleep. The conversatioa ran and the visitor said finally :-— “What a bandsome Newfoundland x you have!

Lion opened one eye. “Yes,”

Lion opened the other eye and waved |

complacently his tail to and fro along © carpet.

“When the baby goes out he always eoes with her and I feel perfectly sure then ihat no harm can come to her,” bis mistress went on.

Lion’s tail jumped up and down viclently on the carpet.

“And he is so gentle to them all, and such a playmate and companion to them that we would not take a thousand dollars for him.”

Lion’s tail now went up and down,

under-graduate who offered her, with some hesitation, his seat in the horee

‘ar. She gotin with an older compa- nion. The car was crowded and two young men sat near. One gave his seat at once to the elder lady ; the other kept his place. His friend asked him —disguising it, however, in German— why he didnot give his place to the young lady. He answered in the same language :—‘ Because she is not pretty enough.” After a little reflection, however, he too, arose and surrendered The young lady took it and thanked him in—German.— New Orleans Picayune.
