Mme. Bernhardt, the noted actress, lately left Paris for the steamer en route to this country, says the Globe of Nov. 18. She left behind her famous Newfoundland dog, Boubouroche, the gift of Henry Irving. The dog, which was of great size, and had saved several lives, would not be comforted after the departure of its mistress, and died of grief a few days later. Vivisectors will please notice that such an animal would have furnished splendid "material" for "experiments on the emotions."
This issue of the magazine also included this image on its cover:
