HOW THE SWISS GUIDES DID 1T.

An artist has recently published in a
French journal an account of his Swiss
sketching tour: On beautiful afternoon
in last June be left his hotel in Interlaksp,
went ont alone with his camp stool and
easel, and strayed as far as the foot of the
Jungfran. As he was about to begin his
sketch he was startled by seeing, a few
yards in front OF him, q huge bear, that
grow]e6 ferociously. He seized G revolver
and !eve!ied it at the beast, but before he
could fire he beard the words, "Halt !!
halt" The bear sat on his hind legs and
wrung his forepaws. "Whst," cried the
artist, ''do bears speak English ~ Then,
holding tho revolver close to the nose of
the pretended beast, he demanded, "What
dost thou in this accprsed costumef" The
rogue in the bears skin replied that he was
merely earning his living. He was driver
by profession, but the season had been q
very bad one and he was obliged to take
another trade. He had entered into Is
compact with a number of guides to elothe
himself in a bear's skin, (which can as-
cure you is as hot as purgatory in euch
weather ss THE" and plant himself in one
OF the favorite moart tain paths. "When
one of my associates comes along this road
with 3 tourist I suddenly show myself.
The foreigner ia ready to die with fright,
but the courageous guide r1shes at me and
drives me away, naturally receiving q very
handsome donceur for his bravery in rick
ing mia own life in order to preserve that
of his employer" In the evening the bear
and the guide generally met at an inn and
divided tho spoil. The bear pleaded so
pieeopsiy that the artist did not have the
heart to have him arreated.

reading would make q man familiar with
all that he could remember of II 900 vol
umes. Such q calculation is utterly worth
less for reading can hardly be measured
by mechanical standarde. President Thiers
said of the facility which he acquired in
study, that he could almost tell whether
there was anything that he wanted in vol
ome by running the leaves through his
fingers and glancing at the sliding pages.
The scholar dealing with books 10 like the
cashier dealing with money. In a book
the former gets hold of what is new to him
IA readily as the latter hits upon a counter
felt in n pile of bills. 1t is said that some
OF the experts 10 the Treasury whose buei-
ness 1t is to count coin are 30 skilful that
they can, by thrusting their hands into q
heap of gold, tell whether all the pieces are
genuine aud of full weight Something of
the same sensitiyeness which clerks get in
their fingers literary men get in their in-
tellect. That celebrated passage from
Bacon's esssy on study go often quoted and
etill 80 striking tells the whole story !:
" Some books are to be swallowed, and
some few to be chewed and digested that
is, some books are only to be read in parts !;
others to be read but not cariously, and
some few to be read wholly and with dill
gence and attention." A scholars facility in
reading increases in geometricai ratio
with his knowledge ; and the more good
books he has read the fewer of those he
and the more skill will he acquire in judg-
ing of the qualities of all by merely tast-
ing. If he takes up history by new
author much Of it must be to him an old
story, and he can judge OF the writer'e pre-
JUDGES, learning aud genius by investigat
ing the methods in which he handles GER
tain test questions. A treatise on meta
physics, if not the work of q phenomenal
mind, is merely twice cooked cabbage, the
odor of which is enough for him. He learns
which are the original minds of the world,
which are the great books, which are the
controlling epochs, and he anchors his
scholarship TO the stady of these. In deal
ing with all things else he is critic, not
SO much studying as examining the world
of letters for things worthy of study.

When Labouchere, the editor of Truth,
the Londen journal, was in the diplomatic
service he was sent on mission to some
distant Court. Some days after he should
have reported himself, telegram was sent
to the Court in question to inquire about
him. He had not been heard of. 1t was
feared he had met with foul play. MesSen-
gers and telegrams were dispatched in all
directions. At last no was heard OF, many
miles from his destination. Asked the
meaning of this delay, the audacious at
tache replied "HaviDg regard TO the al
