A brewer in Haverfordwest once
oum-d a dog which had quite a lik-

from the at and in consequence was
in the habit of getting dreadfully in-

ducted himself it: a most ridiculous
maunir quite beneath the dignity cl
a dog to say nothing about a superior
order of animals.
Various means were tiied by his mas-

Settlement.
r.ate one autumn a whaler on her
re; urn voyage brought up in front of
a populous village on an island in the
northern part of the Hehring sea. A
lively trade ensued with the natives
who were anxious to make their bar-
gains quickly and go in pursuit of the
wr.lrus which were now passing- and
which every year provided the winter's
food supply. Hut in addition to the
legitimate articles of trade a couple oJ
kegs of strong rum were put ashore
and tne schooner sailed away for San
rrancisco with all the wealth of the
village.
llv the time the natives had finished
" rum nml Sot over its effect the wal-

;wus beginning to drift in the sea. The
re.-ult was inevitable. The next whaler
that called at the island was able tc
take home an interesting collection ol
bones and skulls of the Kskiino type
to an ethnological institution but
tin re was no man woman or child left
ali'e on the rum-stricken island to tell
the story of starvation and death.

marck's grim witticisms. The general
and Mrs. Grant while at Itcrlin. were
shown by ltitmnrck the war chamber
where the commission to settle the
terms of the Ilusso-Turkish peaee was
then sitting. Said Mrs. Grant: "The
chamber wai empty at the time and
he pointed out the chairs in which the
different commissioners sat showing
me his chair that of I'cconstield and
others. As he tlid so 1 asked him what
it was all for and he looked at me evi-
dently very much surprised at my ap-
parent ignorance. I hastened to an-
swer that I knew that it was to settle
the terms of the war between the Rus-
sians and the Tiuks. but 1 could not
see what the Germans had to do with
it. l'rince ltisniarck straightened him-
self up. Hi- face at first was quite

whole settlements of whites were

Great amusement was caused by the
recital of an incident which occurred
soon after her majesty's accession to
the throne. A grand dinner party was
being given at Ituekiugliam palace.
The probable husband the queen might
select was then a matter ot much in-
terest and speculation. Lord Mel-
bourne as prime minister felt the
matter to be one in which be was en-
tilled to obtain information if possible.
So he inquired of the queen as nearly
as he could whether there was any in-
dividual for whom she entertained any
preference. Her majesty was a little
taken aback and inquired whether ho
put the question as a matter of state
policy if to she would endeavor to
give him an anse.er. Lord Melbourne
replied that he l'd. and that under no
other circumstances would he have
ventured to iutnule in so delicate a
matter. "Then" said the queen
"there is one person for whom 1 enter-
tain a decided preference." "Yes?"'
said Lord Melbourne expecting to hear
a great si -ret. "Ami that is -that is"
said thcyfueen "the duke of Welling-

week on Scotland lightship near the
entrance to New York harbor. '1 he
assistant keeper was in chargu. and ho
was nearly stone deaf. He hail not
been ashore for three months and
even a newspaper came to him only by
chance from lime to time when a pilot-
boat stopped by on her way out of the
harbor. Krom sunrise until nine o'clock
at night he did little else bul sit on a
hatchway smoking an old pipe and
gazing retleetively at the great harbor
receiving and dismissing its thousaudi
of vesse's. One day he asked me to use
my intlueiice to get him tranferred to
