A recent traveller tells of a lady who, when asked on her return from Italy, whether she had seen the lion of St. Mark replied :." Oh yes! we arrived just in time to see the noble animal fed." This reminds one of the story of the woman who, when the beauty of the Dardanelles was. mentioned, replied: " Oh, yes. I know them well, they are intimate friends of mine."
