WALKING.

Of all kinds of exercise, walking is
that which is the most universally at
tainable, and at the same time the best.
Calling so many muscles into action,
and especially those of the lower extre-
mites, of which the circulation is apt
to be more languidly and imperfectly
performed, from the degree ofresisIance
presented by the force of gravity to the
return of the blood to the heart-call-
ing, moreover, so much of the moving
apparatus of the body into reciprocal
and balanced action, fexor and extens.
or muscles being correspondantly ex.
walking is undoubtedly the
best of all exercises for the purposes Of
health independently Of its secondary,
and by no means little useful effect, of
carrying the respiratory organs into the
freer and purer air, and exposing the
system to the extraordinary and lat
least in the colder and temperate coun-
tries of the earth) the healthful influ-
ence of the direct rays ofthe sun. The
degree of the exercise must of course
wary with the age, condition, and ha-
bits of the individual; bnt the degree
of the exercise that is in most cases
serviceable is generally much under
rated. Three miles a day is the min
imum distance which person ofmode-
rate health and strength ought to walk.
If the powers of the system increase, or
are strongerto begin with, the minimum
ought to be four miles. The subject
should be able, in most cases, to walk
four miles in an hour; and the invalid,
beginning, perhaps by walking a mile
or mile and half, in an hour, might
gradually increase his rate of walking
until he had accomplished this end.
Quick walking calls more muscles into
action than slow walking does, and is
therefore better. The muscles Of the
back and trunk, neck and arms are COM
paratively very little used in slow walk
ing. A person can hardly walk quickly
without using them to very conside-.
rable degree. 1t is maxim SO sound
and important, as to deserve frequent
repetition, that the greater the num-
Der of the muscles used the more ad-
vantageous will be the exercise.

THE OURANG-OUTANG.

F. Culver is disposed to attribute the
highest degree of intelligence among
animals to the ourang -outang, but he
seems to think that this intelligence is
confined to the young animal, and that
when il grows up it becomes stupid.
The one on which this naturalist made
his observations delighted to climb
trees; and if any person manifested an
Intention to mount the tree he had
assembled for the purpose of cat hing
him, he Immediately shook it with all
his might, in order to alarm the indi.
dual who was approaching him. When
shut into room, he soon opened the
door; and if he could not reach the lock,
for he was quite young, he mounted
on chair in order to get at it When
he was refused any object which he
was anxious to obtain, he knocked
his head upon the ground like froward
child:and would actually injure him.
self that the might excite the greatest
interest and compassion. The only
animal of this species that we have had
an opportunity of observing was also
a you1g one, about three years Of age
Its look, and general department, how
ever, had more of the gravity of an old
man than the volatility of a child. Its
eyes were spa king and expressive, and
itseemed to notice everything that ocur-
red around it. 1t manifested degree of
attachment to its keep r, watching his
movements like child. 1t examined
a ring on the finger of visitor, looked
with curiosity on watch, and started
when door was suddenly slut with
all the nervous sensibility ofa fine lady.
It frequently covered and uncovered its
face with the corner of its blanket, as
if playing at bo-peep with visitors; and
on one occasion silly took up a basin of
milk which was intended for another,
and drank off its contests. 1t looked
upon monkey in the same room with
apparent disdain, and avoided coming
in contact with it; but on an ichneu-
mon, quadruped which it had never
seen before, being introduced, it imme-
diately showed decided marks of curios-

the animal, but gazed on it from dis
lance; at last it came nearer, but, as a
means of precaution against any attack,
it took a small, light chair, and pushed
this between it and the animal. When
it ascertained that the creature was per-
tectly harmless, it laid aside all further
precaution, and examined it, and SEEM
ed greatly pleased with its motions. Its
grave and sedate manners, perhaps, were
the effects of cold climate, and this
may likewise be the reason why, &C.
cording to Culver, old animals of the
same species lose their intelligence in
this country. Its usual mode of walking
was seml-upright position, assisting
the motion of its hinder extremities bY
pressing the knuckles of the forearm on
the ground. 1t seemed quite alive to
instruction, for few lessons taught it
the use ola spoon in feeding.-British
