The financial failure of Pink Cot

The financial failure of Pink Cot
tage, the Kentucky hospital for miracu-
lous cures, has not disheartened the Rev
George o. Barnes, who had charge Of
the enterprise. He is about to open a
new establishment, with praying band
of twenty devout women. He thinks
that the miracles undertaken at Pink
Cottage miscarried because they were
not backed by faith, and he will now
pay particular attention to that part Of
the business. He is said to have fol-
lowing of II 900 converts in the noun
tain counties of the State, and they be-
lieve in him, while others pronounce
him lunatic or fraud.

PUT TOUR SHOULDERS BECK.

Much of the proverbial slender. and physical frailty of our girls, as Coli pared with those of other countries, ha been charged to intellectual habits .u, oyerwork in study. It is unquestiona true that they need outdoor life and mo education in development. Many Am | ican girls, through inattention to way of carrying themselves, unc,- sciously contract the habit of brinei the shoulders forward and stoopni. This position not only detracts great from their appearance, but it is also Vel pelnicious in point of health. The cei ebrated Aaron Burr, in letter to h daughter Theodosia, afterward the wi of Gov. Aston, of South Carolina, VITO. as follows on this subject:
 "Your habit of stopping and bringn. your shoulders forward upon your breae not only disfgures you, but is alarmil. on account of your health. The contln uance of this vile habit will certain produce consumption. Then farew pleasure, farewell lifel This Is no exa geration, no fiction to excite your app, hensions. And, setting aside this .l dressing consideration, I am astoni~h that you have no more pride in your d, pearance; you will certainly stint you growth and disfgure your person"
 There is reason to believe that Mis-, Burr gave heed to this admonition (. her good father, for she afterward be came renowned for her beauty as well for superior mental endowments ant accomplishments.

DANGERS OF ATHLETIC TRAINING

Absolute health is attained only by the symmetrical development of all parts of the body. The man with mus cles of steel and diseased heart cannot be said to be in good health, and dis eases of the stomach, heart and nervous system are often-it may even be said usually-produced by that system of de- yelopment known as training. At re- cent rowing match in Philadelphia. two plucky lads in contesting boats fainted as soon as the race was over. Their condition, which WAS apparently good, was actually abnormal, and their sys tems gave way because the strain which their muscles met was too great for their vital functions. A similar but more serious calamity occurred at Sag Har- bor. A Brooklyn lad who had taken part in pedestrian contest, when re. moved from the track. fell down dead. H. had prepared himself for walking and running, and depleted his vital organs to build up his limbs. When the strain came the impoverished and most i'm. portant part gave way. The severe muscular exercise of college athletes has carried of many fine young men by consumption, heart disease and other disorders, directly traceable to the absurd overwork required of their bod ies. There is limit of human endur ance. The limit is reached when the body is impair ed in one quarter to bene- fit special organs. The severity of the test by which athlete prizes are won seems designed rather to award to him who is the least healthy, because more unevenly developed, than to the really best man.

Not long ago had gone to bed at 8 Belgian inn, when l heard a resolute knocking at;my chamber door, and some giggling as of some laughing girls outside. It was .,bout II: 80 o'clock p. m., and I got up, much wondering what could be the mat ter.

WALTER SCOTT AND HIS DOGS.

So intimately were Scott's dogs bound up with bis life, says writer in Temple Bar, that, when his last financial diff eulties crowded upon him and it was for & time in his mind whether it would nat be best to sell Abbotsford, the thought of parting from " these dumb creatures" moved him more than any other pairfu, reflections and he could only hope 'there may yet be those who, loving me, will love my dog because it has been mine." Before he started as an invlli.i for Naples, one of his written instruc- tions referred to the management of hir dogs and again and again, during hi. foreign sojourn, he gave strict, tender and minute injunctions to Laidlaw, h ! steward, to be "yery careful of the poo people and the dogs" He was always thinking of them. It was during this last hopeless journey that he spoke to the large Danish hound which, stranger though he was, fawned upon hlm at the Castle of Bracciano of his e fitness as a. accompaniment to such castle: : bui that he himself had q larger dogs at home, though, may be, not so goad nstured to strangers. It was in Naples, too, where Sir William Cells huge dr. used to be fondled by Scott, and talke' to, and informed of the dogs he h.ei II home ;. while he would confde to &
 William how he had 1.-two yela
 fine favorite dogs, Ninrod and Bran ''
 "so large that am always afraid tl
 look too large and too feudal for m.

 who, as the last days drew near, call, round his chair and began to fondle h4
 and lick his hands, while their dyili
 master smiled or sobbed over them.

THE MoDEsTY OF GENIUs

When Sir Walter Scott became famous he became a ion of the first breed. People visited him, wrote to him for ad- vice, and otherwise took possession of him, as they laid claim to pretty nearly every celebrity ill those days. Ambitious literary beginners were especially numer- ous among his correspondents. They never prepaid their letters, of course, so that, in those days of high postage, his correspondence never cost him less than T ,000 year.
 On one occasion a mighty package came by post from the United States, for which Scott had to pay 95 sterling. 1t contained manuscript play called '' The Cherokee Lovers," by young lady of New York, who begged Scott to 'ead and correct it, write prologue and tpilo9ue, get it put on the stage at Drury Lane, and negotiate with Constable or Murray for the copyright. In fort night another package, quite as formida- ble, arrived, which poor Scott paid the same ruinous postage on, in order to discover duplicate copy of '"The Cher okee Lovers, with note from the au- thoress, stating that the weather had been so stormy, etc, she had judged it safe to forward double of her precious play, for fear the first night have been lost on the voyage.
