At a moment when the lamented Henry Bergh | came face to face with the despairing thought that he | must relinquish his work for the want of funds, he | received a letter from a patient lying near death in a hospital, urging his presence at his bedside, as he had an important message for him. On arriving, the patient told him that some comic papers had fallen into his hands in which he had noticed with painful interest the caricatures portraying him as he bravely faced unsympathetic, jecring opponents as he busied himself in the defense of the defenseless, and, handing him a very generous check (afterward thousand dollars), asked his acceptance for the pursuance of his unselfish, devoted work, and added that it would be somewhat of a relief to his conse r (while well off at present) he had in former y per,” and the unthinkable, | atrocious cruclties connected with the occupation had haunted him always, and he was glad to expiate in some measure the cruclty he had shared in. We (so-called) extremists, who realize the long- drawn-out anguish that awaits the trapped fur animal, feel that the pleasure of wearing the ex- quisite fur would be but small compensation for imposing this suffering on a keenly sentient being. | Neither do we purchase ornaments made from the shell of the tortoise, taken by extreme cruelty from the living creature. ‘The melted shell is beautiful, but to us the proc- esses involved savor of a cruclty contrary to the finer feelings, which, as far as may be, we try to ste of our daily living. To us the bird-inhabited woodland is a source of extreme pleasure and delight. But that women should elect to decorate themselves with the twisted, dismembered bodies of once living creatures is repugnant to us, G. Kenpatt, What She Wanted to Say “ JOHN, the cook has left”— | “Now, Gwendolyn, is it right to meet me with stich news when I return home late from the office | all tired out and hungry"”—— “But, John, dear, I merely want to say the cook has left”— “Yes, I know you ‘merely want to say.” And I merely want to say that it’s a great shame that this houschold is eternally disorganized. Other women manage to keep their servants, Why can’t you? Why"— “John Smith, I tell you that the cook knew you | would be late, so she left a cold chicken, a custard pudding and a pint of claret on the dining-room table for you.” “Well, Gwendolyn, why in the name of common intelligence didn’t you say that at first ?”—Tit-Bits. Metaphors from Metals s been a “ti “TT IS most amazing,” said a metallurgist, “how the world relics on metals for its metaphors and similes. “Thus, an orator is silver-tongued or golden- mouthed. An explorer is bronzed by African suns. A resolute chap has an iron will. A sluggard moves with leaden feet. An ostrich has a copper-lined stomach.
