We are all familiar with the process.
A movement, or series of movemeuta,
at first painfully difficult and requiring
the whole thought aud attention, BY
repetition become so easy and semi-au
tomato that attention is no longer ne
cessary. The most remarkable exam
Piles of these, such rs walking, epeak-
ing, and the like, probably belong
partly to the third category; the capac-
ity for these Is partly inherited. Play
ing on q musical instrument is. there
fore q better example. We all know
the painful attention necessary at hrst
and the ease and rapidity of the most
complex movements attained by prac-
tice. Now, by what means, anatOmi-
cal or physiological, do these at first
difficult movements become. by repeti-
ton, easy? The answer, In general
terms, seems to he this: Every vOli-
tional act is attended with a charge In
the brain, which however is slight,
liable to be effected by subsequent
changes, and therefore evanescent. II
the same act, however, be repeated
many times, the change becomes deep
and permanent-becomes petrified In
brain-structure; and this structure,
whatever be its character or its Seat,
determines the appropriate acts with
precision. 1t is as if every vOlitional
act produced faint line, liable to be
erased, on the tablets of the brain; by
running over the same lines many
times these are deepened into grooves
and finally into ruts, and motion In
these becomes easy and certain, be-
cause the ruts guide the motion instead
of the will. The repetition produces
structure and structure determines
habit

Greenland Dogs.

Two of these dogs can drag as much
as one man. Nothing can be more ex-
hilarating than dog sledging in the
Arctic regions on fine day. The rat
tling pace of the dogs; their intelli-
gence in choosing the road through the
broken ice; the strict obedience paid by
the team to one powerful dog whom
they elect as leader; the arbitrary ex-
ercise of authority by the master dog I;
the constant use of the whip, and the
running conversation kept up by the
driver with the different dogs who well
know their names, afford constant en-
joyment. However useful they may be,
these Arctic dogs seem TO be deficient
IN that affectionate disposition which
endears their species so much to man.
A traveller once said that he believed
the Esquimaux dogs to be the most un-
grateful creatures in creation. He had
travelled several hundred miles by
sledge; and for six weeks it was his
duty regularly to feed the dogs but
after only a few weeks absence, on
the conclusion of the journey, they
would not recognize him i'm the slight
est degree. 1t is impossible to domes-
ticate these creatures, as under tender
treatmant they sicken and die.

Puuctuality In all Things.

1t Is astonishing how many people
there are whe neglect punctuality.
Thousands have failed in life from this
cause alone. 1t is not only a serious
vice i'm itself, but il Il the fruitful pa
rent Of numerous other vices, so that
he who becomes the victim of il gets in
volved in tolls from which 1t is almost
impossible to escape. Ii makes the
merchant wasteful of time; Ii saps the
business reputation of the lawyer, and
it Injuries the prospects of mechanics
who might otherwise rise to fortune
in word, there is not profession, nor
a station In life, which Is not liable to
the canker of this destructive Labit.
In mercantile affairs, punctuality IL
as Important as in military. Many are
instances In which the neglect to renew
an Insurance punctually has led TO a
serious loss. Hundreds of city mer
chants are now suffering in consequence
of the want of punctuality among their
Western customers in paying up ac-
counts. With sound policy do the banks
Insist, under the penalty of a protest,
on the punctual pryment OF notes; for
were they to do otherwise, commercial
transactions would fall into inextri-
cable confusion. Many and many a
time has the faiulre of one man to meet
his obligations brought on the ruin of a
score of others, just as the toppling
down, in line OF bricks, of the IN aster {
brick causes the fall of all the rest.

But there is even a graver accusation
brought against the paper collars. The
man who once begins to wear them
continues to shed them daily. They
are furnished with tough spinal col
umn of muslin, and are thus rendered
indestructible. The result is that the
wearers of paper collars are gradually
covering the surface of the earth with
a new geological stratum which every
year grows deeper and broader. The
discarded paper collar Turks in the
closets and corners of boarding houses,
where it mocks an honest servant girl
who hastily picks it up under the delu-
sion that she has found an available ar
ticle or portable property. 1t eddies
around the back yard, dancing before
the breeze; and Turing the passing cat
to pause and notice eligible platforms
for nocturnal concerts, She might other
wise never have observed. 1t lies In
wait on the sidewalk, and taking sur
reptitious passage beneath the skirts
of passing beauty, emerges to view upon
crowded corners to the confusion of
the innocent victim. If thrown into
drains, the discarded paper collar JOY
fully braces itself to the work of choking

weather Msxfms.

"Old Probabilities has formulated
the results of his observations for New
England as follows:
/. As a rule, If the wind touches
northeast or east for two or three days,
it is a sure indication of rain.
2. Dense smoke and haze in early
morning portend falling weather.
3. Summer showers of light character
often follow two or three days of smoke
or haze.
4. Fog, frost and dew precedo rain q
or IS hours, except fog at close of storm.
8. Wind veering from north or west
to south and southeast precedes falling
weather.
6. Halos, lunar and solar, also fairly
defined and brilliant auroras, preoede
rain "a to 80 hours.
z. Barometer rising or falling consid-
erably away from its mean forebOdes
falling weather, subject to modifying
influences of the neighboring ranges OF
mountains and hills.
s. Precipitation generally follows a
rapid iuflux of atmosphere.
9. If wind is i'm the southwest and
rain sets in, the rain is of short dura-
ton and light yield.
10. Banks of watery clouds or heavy
haze on south of southeastern horizon
indicate rain.
IL. An area of low barometer at or
near Fort Monroe, and running up the
coast, surely reaches here as north

Dress OF VI esopotamian women.

The display of Jewels in the ornamen-
tation of the feminine apparel, exceeds
anything that have vet seen, espec-
tally the singular, helmet-like head
dress which nearly covers the forehead,
and reaches down TO the ears, thickly
studded with pearls aud edged with
rows of gold coins. The silk veil worn
in the house, which floats gracefully
over the shoulders, is frequently edged
with coins; and profusion of precious
stones, uncut and rudely set, are worn
in rings and necklaces, and distributed
upon various portions of the dress. As
elsewhere in the East, the long braids
of hair are heavily hung with coins.
These ornaments are the ''dowry" OF
the women, their own exclusive prop
erty, which the law cannot touch; and
many wife throughout the Empire
who wears upon her person more than
enough TO redeem her husband from
the clamors of his creditors, or release
him from prison, would not part with
one of the precious coins for that pur-
pose! As soon as daughter is born,
the mother, however poor, commences
providing her dowry; adding piece by
piece, coins of copper, silver, or gold
which she may have earned, or which
have been handed down in the family
as an heirloom for many generations.
such pieces represent far more than the
current value of the coin 10 the wearer,
and the loss of silver or gold piece
from her head-dress would occasion
great anxiety and an unwearied search
-as our Saviour knew and probably
had seen when He uttered the parable
of the lost coin. Unmarried maidens
are known by the veil of crimson silk,
and the wealth and rank of her family
are revealed by the jewels which she
wears. Syrian women wear immense
clasps of silver to their girdles, and the
little tinkling silver bells upon the an
kles of the younger children-which
frequently disturb the Sunday service
were once worn BY these Eastern
ladies. These, with their stomachers,
spangeleI ornaments, bracelets, head
bands and broad thumb rings of gold,

Aneedote Of Horace vernet.

The artist was going from Versailles
to Paris by railway. In the same COM
partment with him were two ladies
whom he had never seen before, but who
were evidently acquainted with him.
They examined him minutely, and
commented freely upon his martial
bearing, his hale old age. his style of
dress, ETC., They continued their an
nOyance until finally the painter deteI-
mined to put an end to the persecution.
AS the train passed through the tunnel
of st. Cloud, the three travellers were
wrapped in complete darkness. Vernet
raised the back of his hand to his mouth,
and kissed it twice violently. On emer-
ging from the obscurity, he found that
the ladies had withdrawn their atten-
ton from him, and were accusing each
other of having been kissed by man
in the dark.
Presently they arrived at Paris; and
Vernet, on leaving them, said, Ladies',
shall be puzzled all my life by the in
quiry. Which of these two ladies was it
that kissed me f"-From Literature. of

The Man.eating Tiger.

DR.. Fsyrer caused some sensation nv
showing that during the Que year 1859
6,210 deaths from snake bite occurred In
the B.ngal Presidency alone. among a
population OF something more than for
weight millions of souls. He now hor-
rifles us with accouuts of devastation
caused by man-eating tigers, which oc-
casiunally cause villages, and even
whole districts, to be deserted. In one
instance in the Central Provinces sin
gle 6gress caused the desertiOn OF
thirteen villages, while $50 -quare niles
of country were thrown out of cultiva-
ton iefure the creature was shot. AnO-
ther tigress in 1869 XII led l27 people and
stopp-d public road Tor many weeks
before it too succumbed 70 an Eng ish
spurtemau. La 1868 the Magistrate of
Godavery reported that part of the
country overrun with tigers. no road
safe, and that a large tiger had recent
ly charged q large body of villagers
within q few hundred yards of the ci-
vii station. 1t is impossible TO give ac-
curafe statistics for the whole of so vast
a country as Hindustan, but JerdOn
corroborates these statements by asser-
ting that in the district east of Jubbul-
pore, in 1856 and previous years, on an
average between two and three hun
dred villagers were killed annually.
Tigers apparently develop into man
daters when they are old and sluggish,
can the teeth are somewhat decayed.
Preferring human flesh, they find, when
once the awe natural to wild animals
at the presence OF man Is shaken OH,
that ne offers an easy and tempting
prey. In some districts they abound !;
while in Others, as in Ouce and ROhil-
cund, one is only heard of about every
six years. The natives are extremely
superstirious respecting tigers, and in
many parts dread the wrath of the
slain tigers spirit more than they feared
the creature when alive. The small
deeply imbedded in muscle, are es-
teemed valuable charms; while every
sportsman, or, indeed, every one who Is
familiar with tiger-skins, knows how
difficult it is to save the tigers claws.
The whiskers too are Immediately
plucked out by the spOrtsman's ser
wants, on the tiger being shot, before
their master can come up, as they are
deemed valuable lOve-philter, Those
who are most vigorously honest in all
other respects cannot refrain from thus
mutllating q skin. On-the spot where
a tiger has slain human being, in the
district round Mirzapore, the natives
erect a curious cOnical mound of earth,
which is ornamented with some cOlOred
wash for a coating, a few flowers. and
one or more singularly- shaped pieces
of pottery. 1t is considered sacrilege to
touch these. and once a year the IN
habitants of the neighboriLS villages
visit the memorials, and worship there.
