Modes of Walking.

An ingenious contemporary gives the
following summary of the different
modes OF walking adapted by those
who go to and fro upon the earth:
Observing persons move slowly; their
heads move alternately from side to
side, while they occasionally stop and
turn around.
Careful persons lift their feet high
and place them down slowly, picking
up some little obstruction and place it
down quickly by the side of the way.
Calculating persons generally walk
with their hands in their pockets and
their heads slightly inclined.
Modest persons generally step softly
for fear of being observed.
Timid persons often step off from the
sidewalk on meeting another, and al
ways go around stone instead of step.
ping over it.
Wido.awake persons "toe out" and,
have long swing of their arms, while
their hands move about miscellaneous.
ly.
Careless persons are forever stubbing
their toes.
Lazy persons scrape about loosely
with their heels, and are first on one
side of the walk and then on the other.
Very strong.minded persons place
their toes directly in front of them, and
have kind of s,amp movement.
Unstable persons walk fast and slow
by turns.
One.idea persons, and always very
selfish ones, "toe in"
Cross persons are apt to hit their knees
together.
Good-natured persons snap their fin
ger and thumb every few steps.
Fun-loving persons have kind ofjig
movement.

The recent circular addressed by M.
Jules Favre to all the representatives
of the French Republic in foreign coun.
tries, besides giving an explanation of
the various causes that led to the insur-
rection in Paris and the reason why
this was not suppressed sooner by the
Versailles Government, contains short
history and definition of the Interna.
tional Society, the members of which
M. Favre designates as caricatures of
Jacobins." Although the origin of this
society is commonly considered to date
from the exhibition of 1862, he believes
it to be considerably older. For more
than forty years, he says, have the
workingmen been striving to strength.
en- themselves by association, which is
nothing but natural and right, so long
as their efforts in this direction are de.
voted to that purpose alone and kept
within the proper limits of that sphere
of action. Rut this object has been
singularly perverted, and made Of only
secondary consideration, during the
past ten years. The object of the In.
ternational Society is now TO obliterate
all nationality before (claimed) com.
mon and superior interest. 1t is So
ciety OF war and hatred. 1t has for
base Atheism and Communism, and
for object the destruction of capital and
the annihilation of those who possess
it. Their committees meet in privacy
in Belgium, England, and Switzerland,
and they have numerous adherents in
Prussia, Austria, Italy, and Spain.
They arc like large Masonic organiza.
ton, for their society extends all over
Europe. 1--WE demand" they say, in
their official circular of May 25th, 1863,
I" the direct legislation of the people by
the people, and the abolition of the
right of individual inheritance, either
in capital, soil, or in the instruments of
labor" The society has itself declared
that it "seeks the abolition of worship,
the substitution of science for faith,
and of human for divine justice, and
also the abolition of marriage" Such
is resume of the doctrine of the Inter
nationals it is to annihilate all indi-
vidual action as well rs all individual
property; crush and Ohliterate nations
under the yoke of an anarchy of blood,
and reduce the people TO a race of inn
poverished and stupei d Communists.
Europe is face to face with work of
destruction, Systematically directed
against each of the nations which com.
pose it, and against the very principles
that form the basis for all civilization.

Miscellaneous.
APES.

GIBBONS, clIIMPANzEEs, oRANGs AND
| GORILLAS.
There are four known existing genera
of anthropoid apes; namely, gibbons,
orangs, chimpanzees and gorillas. In
structure they are all four present re.
markable points Of resemblance. They
| are all without tails. They all possess
the same number of teeth, namely
twenty milk teeth, and thirty-two per.
manent ones; and be it observed, man
| possesses the same number of teeth,
both first and second sets. Like man,
also, and unlike the lower apes, their
nostrils are divided by partition, and
look downwards. Unlike man, their
arms are longer than their legs. The
great toe of the foot of these apes, in
common with the lower apes, is smaller
| and far more movable than in man, SO
| that it can be used like thumb. The
popular belief that thelower eXtremities
of apes terminate in hand, is erron-
| eOus. Careful dissection shows that the
foot of the monkey is true foot, with
very movable great toe. 1t is to be
regretted that that great naturalist,
Cuvier, adopted the term quadruman-
Gus, or four-handed, and applied it dis.
tinctly to apes; for the term is calcula-
ted, as we have just explained, to dis.
seminate incorrect views. Indeed great
mobility of the great toe, and the power
of opposing it-that is, of placing it OPP
posite to the other toes-is by no means
confined to the ape tribe; the artisans OF
Bengal weave with their toes, and the
Chinese boatmen are able to pull an oar
when grasping it with their feet.
A very common trick of John China.
mans is to tie a string to the under side
of scale, and when weighing articles
of commerce, to turn the scale by pull.
ing the string with his foot. In civiliz.
ed life, we must remember, the toes are
thrust into leathern sheathes, and
cramped from childhood upwards but
in bareiooted people, where the natural
play of the parts Is allowed, the great
toe is very mobile. The four kinds OF
man.like apes differ materially from
each other in their habits and mode Of
life.
The gibbons, of which there are sew.
eral species, are all mountain apes,
dwelling in the tall trees on the slopes
and ridges of hills. In the evening
they descend in small groups to the
open ground. They are, however, pre-.
eminently qualified for arboreal life. 1t
is almost impossible to describe in words
the grace and rapidity of their won.
drous Kormendy-like movements. Us.
| ing only their hands and arms, or rather
holding by one hand only, the gibbon
launches himself by an energetic move
ment to distant branch. There, how.
ever. his hold Is less than mOmentary
another branch is similarly aimed at by
the other hand, and SO on spaces o
twelve, eighteen, and even, it is said o
forty feet, being easily cleared at sin

up uninteruptedly for hours without
the animals S manifesting fatigue. Some
times they will throw somersanlts IL

Benefits Of Judlcious Advertising,

We copy the following from the Gro.
Ger, a London weekly circular of from
40 to so double'column pages:-
The race for public favor nova. days
leaves the tradesman no option. He
must place himself on level with his
competitors, or be snuffed out altogeth.
er. Be his goods as excellent as they
may, there are so many candidates for
patronage that modest merit has no
chance unless assisted into notoriety.
When once acknowledged by public
esteem, articles of reliable quality will
invariably secure some preference, al
though 1t Is often found in practice that
public favor Is tickle, and that attention
requires to be kept alive by judicious
remindiDgs. We use this word adyis-
edly in lieu of the more significant
term "puffing," which is lower
branch of the art of advertising. There
are those who can see no difference be-
tween putting and advertising but we
venture to think that there is herein all
the difference between lying and telling
the truth. Putting is nothing short of
the elaboration of falsehood, and can
be readily detected when compared
with an honest advertisement. Tho
puffer starts with the assumption
that the world Is filed with fools;
and as mankind does, unfortun-
ately, supply a fair proportion of the
birds aimed at, the putting advertiser
hits the mark often enough for his pur-
pose. He rarely snares the same victim
twice. An honest advertisement goes
beyond this. Not content with captur-
ing public attention, 1t seeks to retain
1t. Judiciously managed, advertising
secures the first, and the quality of the
articles advertised preserves the second.
"The next point for consideration is
cost Of advertising, and we will not
venture to hide the fact that, to adver-
tise properly, must ever be an expens-
i've process as far as first outlay is con-
cerned, though hardly so when the
results are taken into account. 1t is
notorious that thousands of pounds
have been spent in introducing the
most trifling articles into notice. The
advertiser looks, not to the value of the
article advertised, but to the extent of
the demand likely to be created for it.
Take an ounce package of tobacco, for
instance; it might appear absurd to
expend $500 in advertising packages of
tobacco selling at fourpence each, but
$500 so laid out would be very badly
expended If it did not lead to the sale
of at least million packages. A mil
lion packages at fourpence each amount
to nearly seventeen thousand lounds
These figures appear large, but they are
rather within the mark than beyond
it. The enormous totals represented
by the business of the manufacturers of
cheap but popular articles are almost
fabulous. 1t is the immense trade Sc
cured by proper system of adverlis.
ing which pays the advertiser. A sin.
gle advertisement of an article retailing
at penny may cost five pounds, but it
is not long before the penny article
overtakes the flve.pound advertise
ment, and puts the balance on the other
side.

How TO Keen Cool,

a correspondent furnishes the Lon
don Times with the following hints,
which will be found pertinent to our
own climate: In these hot days cool
apartment is real luxury to be had far
oftcner than most people suppose posi-
BILE. The secret consists, not in letting
in cool air, for naturally all do that
whenever they have the chance; but
in Keeping out the hot air. If the air
outside Il room or house be cooler than
the air in ide, let it in by all means,
but If it be hotter, carefully keep it ont.
A stair case window left open during
the night will often cool the passages of
house, and the rooms, too, if the
doors he not shut but it must he closed
at eight or nine O'Clock in the morning,
or, If, on the sunny side, at four or five
O'Clock, and the blind drawn down.
The mistake people generally make is
to throw open their windows at all
hours of the day, no matter whether
the atmosphere outside be cool or
scorching.
Let us have some air, they say, and
In comes the treacherous breezc-f for
even hot air is pleasant while it is
gently blowing, taking away pcrsplra-
tion, and thereby cooling the skin; but
the apartment is made warmer, instead
of cooler, and as soon as they move out
of the draught they find their room TO
be more uncomfortable than before.
Let in cool air-keep out hot-that is
the only formula to insure the minim
um of discomfort. Sitting rooms may
generally be kept cool during the whole
day if the doors be only opened for in
gress and egress, and the windows kept
closed and shielded from direct sun
shine by blind. If the atmosphere of
a room be impure from any cause, let it
be renewed hot air is less injurious
than bad air. If q room be small in
comparison with the number of persons
engaged in it, free ventilation becomes
indispensable.
In cooking apartments the tempera-
ture will probably be higher than out.
side; hence the free admission even of
hot air will be desirable. If persons do
not object to sit in direct draught of
air windows and doors may be opened,
breeze being more refreshing, even
though several degrees warmer than
still air; but, under nearly all other
circumstances, rooms should be kept
closed as much as possible until after
sundown, or till the air outside is cooler
than that inside. Let in cool kecr
out hot.
