The great Dr. John- son was one of its pioneer freaks, his specialty being plain and honest dirt.

Specially trained dogs of his Highness the Thakur Saheb were let loose on two full grown panthers. About 8000 people assembled on the maidan to see the event The arrival »f his highness with the Maharani Saheba was the Signal .to commence the fight. When the cages were opened the panthers slowly crept out, but seeing themselves hemmed in by such a large mass of people they slunk back again and lay apparently watching for a chance to pounce upom the nearest by- standers The dogs, however, on. being let loose, at once attacked the panthers in a body, speedily overwhelming and kill- ing them, It is said that the dogs were previously dosed with" some soft of snuff that deadenel their scent.

The cruiser Gladiator, sunk in collis- ion with the American liner St. Paul off Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, during a snowstorm in April last, has been towed into Portsmouth Harbor and docked. The Liverpool Salvage Company has thus brought to a conctusien one of the greatest feats in the history of shipping. Only the extraordinary fine weather lately made the task possible. "The Gladiator during her perilous voyage up the Solent leaked like a sieve, no- botly would have been surprised to se¢ the wrecked cruiser turned turtle andl sink at any point. Weeks ago the Gladiator was raised from the bottom and towed close to shore, remaining stranded on Yarmouth Beach, Since then the salvage men have labored night and day, using every poss- ible device to lessen the influx of water. Great electric pumps were installed, and these kept tons of water pouring over: board. - Before starting it was necessary to conteract the dangerous list of port. Three large air cylinders, each having a hfting force of 850 tons, were secured under her side, and on the other side the salvage steamer Ranger and another cylinder were lashed. On either side were lighters, in which air-compressing machinery was running at full. speed. Four tugs took the tow lines, and the start was made at noon to the accom- paniment of cheering and blowing of hooters, sirens, and whistles. KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.

Greatly elated at receiving the mes- sage that Kean would see him in his room, the boy lost courage when he was face to face with the great actor. "So you would like to go on the stage?" said Kean. "Yes, sir," replied Master Gilbert, 'trembling in every limb, "What's your name?" The boy's imagination failed him at a critical moment in his life§ "Gilbert," he faltered, seeking refuge in the truth, "Gilbert, Gilbert," reiterated Kean, with a sharp glance at the embarrassed bay.
