PotaUnf Oat Defect la Picture Which
Kacayed PneUo Attention.
Tom Nicholl, the artist, tells the fol
lowing story on himself, which is a
pretty good one. It illustrates the well
known fact that the best of us can learn
something from fools and children. The
story is as follows: On one occasion he
had made a large crayon picturo of a lit
tle child seated in a cart to which was
hitched a large Newfoundland dog. It
was a fine piece of work, and for some
two weeks liung in a public show win
dow, where it attracted much attention,
and many were the compliments show
ered upon hhe artist for his skilL
Some time after tho picture had been
taken down Mr. Nicholl was seated in
his Etudio when there came a timid rap
at the door. Lie called out to the caller
to come in, and there entered a little
street urchin, who had often given the
artist a shine, and who on tho strength
of bucIi acquaintance used frequently to
pay him a visit.
"Well, Tod," said Mcholl, "what can
I do for you today?"
Tl id lift If A ruh liAcitnfDil n wr fm rT
and then, in a tone that plainly indicated
the intensity of his desire, he said: .
"Well. 1 thought I'd like ter see the
picter ycr made o that boy an' the dog
in a wagon."
"All right, replied the artist, and
crossing the room to where the picture
stood, faced to the wall, he picked it up
and placed it on an easel.
1 he boy stood and looked at It. with
evident delight and pleasure depicted on
his lace. Suddenly, however, he turned.
and with considerable embarrassment,
as though he knew he was presuming.
he said: "Mr. Nicholl, it's er dandy, but
you vo made a mistake in it.
" Whatl" eiaculatcd the artist. "A mis
take; whereV
"Why," said the boy, a little triumph
antly, "you've forgot to put in any bol
ster on the front axletreo.
Nicholl Btepped forward, looked at the
picture a moment, and sure enough the
boy was right. The front end of the
wagon bed was resting on nothing, lie
quickly seized crayon, put in the missing
piece by merely making a deep shadow
where he had left a hiirh lic-ht. and the
defect was remedied.
The urchin watched the process of cor
rection, and then, after a critical and
satisfied look at the picture, and remark
ing, "That's bully," lie slung his kit over
his shoulder and went out.
"Tho strangest thing, though." said
Mr. Nicholl, in telling the story, "is how
that picture should nave hung on exhi
bition for two wfcokB, where it was ad
mired and criticised by hundreds, and
none of whom saw the blunder I had
made, and that bootblack should dis
cover it the minuto he saw it. The point
was, the boy was posted on all the points
about a dog and wagon. It taught me a

Smooth MavfoundUada.
Many years ago, while Jiving in
Boston, I knew a ship master engaged
in the Newfoundland trade, to him I
jrave an order to buy for me in that
island one of tho native dogs, and ex-
1ected to get one of the well known
ig, long haired animals. Tho captain,
however, brought me a female puppy
of a smooth, short haired breed, which
he said was considered by gunners in
Newfoundland as the best of water
dogs. When a year old Fanny was
about the size of a small pointer, say
eighteen or twenty inches, with short
black hair on body and tail, the latter
straighL ears small and rather pointed
and with a wild and somewhat wolfish
eyo, like that of an Indian dog. She
was rather savago m temper, except
to myself, and would fight any
dog of either sex. When she was
about a year old I took her with
me to Chicago and the first timo 1
had her out duck hunting she brought
out my ducks like a trained retriever,
though she had never before seen a
gun tired. She could swim and dive
like an otter and no crippled bird
could escape her. She would dive off
of the Chicago pier and bring up a
white object from the bottom in eigh
teen or twenty feet of water. In those
days plenty of ducks could bo found
on the river just outside the village, for
Chicago was then little more in 1840.
On the river banks lived Irish squat
ters who kept geese, and the first time
I took F an along the river sho attacked
a flock of tame geese, killed tho gan
der and brought liim to me, and I had
to pay the enraged old woman who
owned tho geese. Forest and Stream.

8aysa Portland bookseller: "At on
timo we were currying a large stock of
religious works, and one day I called
out to one of my clerks, holding up a
book which he had wrapped up for
some one, 'Is this "lho City or Uod r .
'No, I guess not' he said, without look
ing round, 'at least I never heard it
called that before. It is generally
called the Forest City. Perhaps it is
Brooklyn. Ho afterward explained
that ho thought I had found a refer
ence in some book to a place called the
City of God and wanted to know what
city it meant
"On another occasion a woman with
a valise in her hand rushed in and
asked a new boy if ho had "That Hus
band of Mine' in our store. He came
rushing out to mo in the back shop
and said a woman wanted to know if
her husband was in our store. I sur
mised what the trouble was and at
tended to her myself.
"Some of the most amusing mis
takes, however, are those made by
people who get the titles of books
wrong. They read about them in
Bomo cataloguo or newspaper, but don't
more than lialf remember tne name,
and tho result is, to say tho least,
peculiar. One woman came in the
other day and asked for 'The Rhine
stone,' and went out mad because one
of the clerks told her wo didn't sell
S'ewelry. Another wanted 'The Car
iinal's Letter,' by Hawthorne. It took
our whole force about fifteen minutes
to get at what sho really w.i;;iod, Thc
Scarlet Letter.' Sho said she knew
there was something red about it some-where-

4 RoiiU DUtriuter.
The averacre New Yorker is likelv to
think of his friends in smaller cities as
hardly equal to himself in keen business
sagacity, but now and then somebody
from a small town or even from, the
country shows himself fn this quality
quite worthy pf the ' metropolis. A New
b.nglander. who may be called Air. Uig-
gins, a man who stap.ds ejx fect two in
his stockings and is wcU proportioned,
landed from a Sound steamer the other
morning and was greeted with the famil
iar "Good morning, Mr. Higginel So
glad to sea you heiol But J'm lit'rald you
uont remember me, 4 he usual intro
duction and explanations followed, and
then Mr. Uiggins started with the
stranger to "call on some friends.
After walking a lew blocks they came
into a small side street, and here Mr. Uig
gins interrupted (he flow of reminiscences
by setting down his valise on the side
walk and laying his overcoat upon it.
This surprised his companion, who
asked: "What is the matter. Mr. Uig
gins? What are you going to do'
I am going, replied Mr. lllggins
calmlv, "to lick a bunco steerer within
an inch pf his Jifp,"
But the New lorker, who had no taste
for sparring matches, had suddenly re

Electric Conveniences.
One of the ingenious members of the
New York Electrical club has designed
a door opener which relieves the dis
gusted traveler or visitor from tlie peces
sity of shoving a heayy mass of wood
with his hands, or of wearing out the
toes of his boots in kicking it back.
A metallic plate set in the floor a foot
from the threshold is marked "door
opener." The caller treads upon it in
the same stylo as the peaceful street car
horse treads upon tb? clumsy iron switch
plates which now prnoment every 6treet
where this styleof locomotion is in vogue.
Tho plate yields a quarter inch to the
pressure of the foot and forms a circuit,
which immediately starts a tiny electro
motor, that in turn opens the door,
despite door spring, air valve or counter
weight. The moment the visitor passes
in the plate is thrown back by a coiled
spring to its former position, the circuit
is broken and the door closes itself with
or without a resonant bang, as may be
desired.
With swing doors the plate is inset on
both sides of the portaL With double
church doors two pairs of plates are ar
ranged so that the sexton can connect pr
disconnect each pair. When the plates
are connected the worshiper's foot opens
both doors, but when disconnected only
one. Philadelphia Times.

Tlie Ecceutrlo Ducbeaa of Montrose.
The Duchess of Montrose is very
fond of dross. Her favorite color is
scarlet, and when this elderly lady
(sho is 70, I believe) is gotten up in a
toilet of her favorite hue, supplemented
with a scarlet ulster, her appearance is
certainly peculiar. She is extremely
popular with (.he lower orders, to
whom her grace is well known bv

of race courses. Curiosity took her to

cmonstratiou in Hyde park. On ar

proached by a number of roughs, whp
proceeded to giyp her. toiha good

don't stay here go homo and take

you. " "Well boys, I'll go, " answered
the lady good liumoredly. And as she
turned away some one in tho crowd
cried, "Threo cheers for Caroline,
Duchess of Montrose I" an, appeal that
met with a hearty Vesponsp. "Imagine
a meeting of pritish Socialists cheering

I have been told, but I do not know

collection of sapphires in this country,
though Mrs. William As tor is credited
wita possessing the finest single one.
When ope of the younger As tors was
married a dainty present was given
her by her uncle. It was her wedding
Uppers; they were of white eatiu
elaborately seeded with pearls, put in
white satin box, on the insidoof which
in pale colors were ."lady sHopera"
and on the outside china asters." The
sentiment was really TOry pretty, and
tho work was most artistically done.
