Beneath His Dignity.

A well-known artist was once engaged upon a sacred picture. A very'' handsome old model named Smith, sat for the head of St. Mark. Artist and model became great friends, hot when the picture was finished they lost sight of one another. One day, however, the artist, wandering about the Zoological Gardens, came upon his old model, with a broom in bis hand, looking very disconsolate. "Hullo, Smith," said he, "yon don’t look very cheery. What are you doing now?” "Well, I ain’t doing much, sir, and that’s a fact. I’m engaged in these ’ere gardens a’deanin hont the helephants’ stable; a nice oocypetion for one o’ the twelve apostles, ain’t It, sir?”
