WALTER SCOTT AND HIS DOGS.

So intimately were Scott's dogs bound up with his life, says writer in Temple Bar, that, when his last financial diff culties crowded upon him and it was for time in his mind whether it would not be best to sell Abbotsford, the thought of parting from |" these dumb creatures" moved him more than any other painful 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 invalid for Naples, one of his written instruc- tions referred to the management of his dogs and again and again, during his foreign soiourn, he gave strict, tender and minute injunctions to Laidlaw, his steward, to be "very careful of the poor 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 him at the Castle of Bracciano of his '' fitness as an accompaniment to such a castle:" but that he himself had larger dogs at home, though, may be, not so good natured to strangers" It was in Naples, too, where Sir William Cells huge dog used to be fondled by Scott, and talked to, and informed of the |" dogs he had at home :" while he would confide to Sir William how he had two very fine favorite dogs, Nimrod and Bran - ESQ large that I am always afraid they look too large and too feudal for my di- minished income" And it was his dogs who, as the last days drew near, came round his chair and began to fondle him and lick his hands, while their dying master smiled or sobbed over them.

EooDEN PIPES.

Wooden pipes are now being used n Switzerland to convey the waters of thermal mineral spring between Pfeffsr and Ragaz. They are constructed of fir-wood made into slaves, and bound to- gether by means of iron hoops. After being carefully tarred both inside and out, they are perfectly water-tight, and possess many advantages over metal piping. They are, of course, much lighter, and are insensible to changes of temperature, while their cost is only about shillings per meter. It is inter esting to note. that the New river water was first brought to London by means of wooden pipes formed by boring out tree-trunks and joining them length b. length. Such pipes have been exte. sively used in America, and they arss under the best conditions, estimated ~.s last thirty ears.-E5agtiSh paper.

PUT YoUR sHoULDERy BAcK.

Much of the proverbial slenderness and physical frailty of our girls, as com pared with those of other countries, has been charged to intellectual habits and overwork in study. It is unquestionably true that they need outdoor life and more education in development. Many Amer ican girls, through inattention to the way of carrying themselves, uncon- sciously contract the habit of bringing the shoulders forward and stopping. This position not only detracts greatly from their appearance, but it is also very pel nicious in point of health. The eel ebrated Aaron Burr, in letter to his daughter Theodosia, afterward the wife of Gov. Aston, of South Carolina, wrote as follows on this subject:
 "Your habit of stopping and bringing your shoulders forward upon your breast not only disfgures you, but is alarming on account of your health. The contin- uance of this vile habit will certainly produce consumption. Then farewell pleasure, farewell life! This is no exag- geration, no fiction to excite your appre- hensions. And, setting aside this dis tressing consideration, am astonished that you have no more pride in your az pearance; you will certainly stint your growth and disfgure your person."
 There is reason to believe that Miss Burr gave heed to this admonition of her good father, for she afterward be- came renowned for her beauty as well as for superior mental endowments and accomplishments.

sPEEcREs LEARNED BY HEART.

SPELCRES LEARNED BY EEART.
 I have Eever yet precisely understood why it is considered the most vicious thing that can be said of a man that he learns his speeches by heart. I should have imagined that an audience ought to be grateful to 6 speaker for taking this trouble. To complain of 1t is to regard Bpeaking like dancing on a tight-rope, and to incumher it with difficulties in order to derive pleasure from seeing them overcome. In nine cases out of ten learned speech is better than an unlearned one. have always envied the memory of those who, without hesi- tation or pause, eau deliver set oration. One of the greatest adopts of this art Eas Lord Beaconsfeld, who, although fluent and ready impromptu speaker. often adopted 1t. More than once he has handed speech to the reporters at. meetings, and he has then repeated it without the mistake of word. I once tried to do this; some one had explained to me system of mnemonics, by means of which everything was to be remem- bered by locating phrases in different corners of the room. For five minutes I got on beautifully, but, when I had exhausted one corner and turned to the next, my key became confused, and ignominiously broke down. - London Tl.,lth

PRESS.
 In an article in Horper'S Mqga1ine, George Merrill tells how the press is regulated in France. The laws which regulate the press continue to be very stringent, though some notifications of liberal character have been introduced since the fall of the empire. Thus all attacks on the constituted authorities. or on the religion of the state, or on either of the religions whose establishment is recognized by law. as well as all attacks upon the sovereign or other head of a foreign state, all publication of false news, all writings which excite the com mission of crimes or misdemeanors, or incite one class of citizens to hatred of another class, and all defamation of ip- dividuals, are punishable by fine and Imprisonment, while the publication of merely insulting or abusive articles, not specifying any matter of fact to the detriment of private individuals e., 8 simple iniure, as distinguished from defamation-is punishable hy fine only.
 The accused is not permitted to justify a libel by proof of its truth, except when it refers to some action of a pub lie officer. in the discharge of his duties as such. And only in this latter case is the publication of the proceedings at the trial allowed, though, of course, the judgment may be published. This appears to us very salutary provision of law, which might well be introduced in America.
 The deposit of security Consisting of an actual payment in cash) in the hands of the Government was abolished in Oc- tober, 1870, but was re-established by the law of July 6, 1871, though the amount thereof is only about one-half of that fixed by the law of 1852, the sums now required being, for every periodical appearing more than three times week, if published in the Department of the Seine, 24,000 francs, and in any other department 12, 900 francs, if published in city having more than 50, GOO inhabi- tants, and 5000 francs in other cases i; and for all other periodicals (except non political publications appearing not more frequently than once week., 1S,000 francs ill the Department of the Seine, and in the other departments one-half of the amounts specified above. The sum so deposited as security IS primarily ap- plicable to the payment of all damages and costs awarded against the proprietor or manager of the paper which publish es libellous article, CT against the a,l- thor of such article. The stamp duty upon newspapers, which existed under the empire, was abolished by decree of Sept. ,, 1870. Every publisher is still obliged to deposit two copies of every newspaper, or othef periodical is- sued by him, in the hands of the public authorities. The law of Dec. %, 1875, provides that no administrative authority shall have the right to prohibit the sale on the public streets of any particular journal. But the most important change recently effected in favor of the press is that made by the law of April 15, 1871, removing press offenses from the iuris- diction of the Tribunaux Correctionels, and submitting them to trial by jury before the courts of assize.

PAPAn AND HAmMA.p

An early instance which occurs to ms is in the "Beggar's Opera" q72D, where Polly Peachum, I think it is, speaks of her "papa." The modern, change from "papa" and mamma" to father and mother among the upper classes, which began about thirty years. ago, seems to have been a reaction against custom which had gradually crept in among persons of lower grade. As soon as common peoples children began to say "papa" and "mamma' those of higher class were taught to, say father and 'smother" It was among my high-church friends that first noticed this adoption of "father" and Another" One does not see the connection, but such is the fact When was young "papa" and mamma'' were universal among what may be called the middle and upper ranks of so- ciety, and to this day "ladies of cer- tain a,a" .still. sse the words. King George III, about tie year 1762, ad- dressed h1s mother as mamma;" so I find in the !" "Grenville Memoirs" But I do not think that Charles II, unless. he was speaking in French, ever ad- dressed Henrietta Maria by that endear-s ing name, and feel tolerably sure that the Lady Elizabeth never called Henry VIII "papa." On the other hand I would observe that "papa" and man. ma" are fast being supplanted by the oldoriginal "father'' and "mother." For ten, or perhaps for twenty, years last past, children in the upper and upper middle classes have, 50 far as my obser- vation goes, been taught to say father and "mother;' and papa" and "mam- ma, which are words of extreme ten. derness to those of my generation, seem now to have sunk into contempt as a mote" of social inferiority.-Notes and Queries.

UNITED srArrs pouNDARY t1NE.

4 UNITED STATES BOUNDARY LINE.
 The northern boundary of this coun- try is marked by some cairns, iron pillars, wood pillars, earth mounds and timber posts. A stone cairn is 74x8 feet, an earth mound 7x14 feet, an iron pillar feet high, 8 inches square at the bottom, and inches at the top timber posts feet high and inches square. There gre 382 of these marks between the Lake of the Woods and the base of the Rocky mountains. That portion of the bound ary which lies east and west of the Red river valley is marked by cast-iron pil- lars at even-mile intervals. The British place one every two miles and the United States one between each two British posts. Our pillars or markers were made at Detroit, Mich. They are hollow iron castings, three-eighths of an inch in thickness, in the form of truncated pyramid, s feet high, 8 inches square at the bottom and inches at the top, as before t.ated.
 They have at the top solid pyramidal cap, and at the bottom an octagonal fange ore inch in thickness. Upon the opposite faces are cast in letters two iches high the inscriptions, ''Convention of London and "Oct. 20, ISIS" The inscriptions begin about four feet ! civ ;yoboc ol1o1-a +Io 1oeo o,,I ,.oo ] --. ward. The interiors of the hollow posts are filled with we'll seasoned cedar posts. sawed to fit, and securely spiked through spike-holes cast in the pillars for that purpose. The average weight of each pillar when completed is eighty five pounds. The pillars are set four feet in the ground, with their inscription faces to the north and south, and the earth is well settled and stamped about them. For the wooden posts weli-seasoned logs are selected, and the portion above the ground painted red, to prevent swelling and shrinking. These posts do very well, but the Indians cut them down for fuel, and nothing but iron will last very long. Where the line crosses lakes, monuments of stone have been built, the bases being in some places eighteen feet under water and the tops projecting eight feet above the lakes surface at high water mark. In forests the line is marked by felling the timber a rod wide and clearing away the underbrush. The work of cutting through the timbered swamps was very great, but it has been we'll done and the boundary distinctly marked by the Commissioners the whole distance from Michigan to Alaska.

DANGERS OF ATHLETIC rRAIN1sG.

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- velopment known as training. At re- cent rowing match in Philadelphia, two plucly lads in contesting boats tainted as soon as tho race was over. Their condition, which was apparently gsod, was actually abnormal, and their sys- tens gave way because the strain which their muscles met WAS too great for their vital functions. 4 similar but more serious calamity occurred at Sag Har- bor. A Brooklyn lad who had taken part in a pedestrian contest, when re- moved from the track. fell down dead. He 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 im- 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 a 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.-Boston Journal of Chem BROTHER GARDNER'S PHILOSOPHY

TherAs was no animating power in the old friends and relations who gathered round her. When the bell was rung for the midday or evening repast she often sent down word that she did not feel inclined to eat, and begged that her sister would take the head of the table. Sometimes she prolonged her fast for several days, and only took, when weak from long abstention from food, cup of broth, or of chocolate, which she swal- lowed down at once. It did not appear to her food but she turned with repug- nance from anything solid. The digest. i've organs thus became paralyzed.
