The Dcg's Tail.
A prominent citizen was on trial
charged with harboring a vicious (log.
The attorney for the defense had
been consulting a 'log expert ami had
learned that if a dog holds his tail up
over his hack when he liarks he is not
angry, while if he holds it straight out
behind liini lie is in a belligerent, blood
thirsty frame of iniiul. Anxious to air
lis newly acquired information, the
niwyer began cross questioning the
•osecuting witness thus:
"Sow, did you notice the position in
which this dog's tail Was held when he
came at you?"
"1 did not," said the witness, "for
that was not the end from which I
anticipated injury. I had another end
in view. Now, it' tho dog had been a
hornet"—
"No levity, sir!" thundered the attor
ney. "Answer the question. In what
position was the dog's tail when he
came at you?"
"I believe, sir," faltered the terrified
witness, "that it was behind him."—

The King's Cock Crower.
In the good old time there was an
English court official known as the
king's cock crower. It seems tt strange
office. Why did the king require a cock
crower, and why could not the common
bain door variety serve his majesty's
purpose? The reason, as you shall sec,
was that the barn door variety cannot
be depended upon for times and hours,
and he has never been persuaded t<> ob
serve Lent. Now, this was a pious cus
tom and a religious duty." All through
Lent tiie king's cock crower crowed
instead of calling tho hours of the night
in the palace. lie began on Ash
Wednesday, when lie entered the hall
In which the king's supper was served,
and then crowed the hour in the pres
ence of 1 lie royal party. The meaning
of the custom is obvious. 11 was only
one of the many ways in which the
history of tin- Christian religion was
brought home to the minds of people
before the reading of the gospel in tho
vernacular. The oiliee was continued
down to the year 1822.—London Queen.
"The Greatest Widower."
This is said to bo the title of a genu
ine essay evolved some years ago by a
boy in a Welsh board School:
"King Henry VIII. was the greatest
widower that ever lived. lie was born
at Anno Domini in the year 1006. He
had r.lo wives besides children. The
first was beheaded and executed. The
second was revoked. She never smiled
again. Tint she said the word 'Calais'
would be found 011 her heart after her
death. The greatest man in this reign
was Lord Sir Garret Wolsey. He was
sir named the I Soy Bachelor. He was
horn at tho ago of 1.", unmarried.
Henry VIIL was succeeded 011 the
throne by his great-grandmotlier, tho
beautiful and accomplished Mary,
queen of Scots, sometimes known as
the Lady of the Lake!"
Helping the Burglar Out.
' John." she whispered, "there's a
burglar in 1 lie drawing room. He lias
just knocked against the piano and hit
several keys at once."
"I'll go down," said he.
"Oh, John, don't do .anything rash!"
"Ilash! Why, I'm going to help
him. You don't suppose ho can re
move the piano from tho house with
out assistance!"- London Throne.

Half the Battle.
"If 1 were you," said the old bache
