The " Boss" System Among Esqui-
manx Dogs.

There is always one bully in every
team, who gets all the choice bits that
are stolen by the others, and generally
manages TO keep fat. no matter how
short they are of provisions. He waits
for the others to make the raid, and
then stands on the outside to take il
away from them. These bullies are in
several grades. There is the chief, of
whom all are afraid, and then there is
the next in rank, of whom all are afraid
but the chief; third, Of whom all are
afraid but the two, and so on down.
Sometimes the food is cut into small
pieces and thrown out upon the ice for
all 20 help themselves, and then there
il rough-and-tumblc fight, and snarl-
ing and growing, as If a whole cage of
hyenas had broken loose. But here the
bullies have no advantage indeed, the
advantage is with the small, lively fel-
lows that slip in and get the meat while
the big ones are lighting. When dog
manages to steal piece of meat he has
lively time Of il, for soon every dog in
camp Is after him. and he has 70 eat IL
on the run, IL at ali, headed of at every
turn by one of the bullios. and whining
and choking at the same time. II GER
tainiy IL one of the most comical exhibi-
tions ever witnessed.--St~ibHe.

The sulphur Slaves OF Sicily.

The sulphur is extracted and brought
to the surface by human beings, and,
indeed. chiefly by children. Mrs.
Browning's "Cry of the Children
might have been written In the sulphur
mines of Sicily. Hundreds and hun
dreds of children who have scarcely the
form of human beings, are sent down
the steep. slippery stairs into the muddy,
watery depths. Here they are laden
with rs much material as they can sns-
tain, and they must reascend with it on
their backs, stumbling at every step,
often falling back into the bottom OF
the pit with broken limbs. or even dead.
The elder ones, writes an eyewitness.
arrive at the pits mouth shricking. the
little ones crying and sobbing. The
mortality exceeds that of any other
province OF Italy; the statistics of the
leva show an incredible number Of lame
and deformed, and of young men Of
one-and-twenty totally unfit for military
service.

Reading Medicine.

The first period Of medical study,
or "reading medicine is frequently
commenced and terminated without
any definite plan, and as the college
examinations often show, with very
meager results. IL is sometimes
surprising to fiud how long the stu
dent has read aud how very little he
knows, and frequently we would
doubt his having had two or three
years reading, were it not for the
certificate Of his preceptor. Read.
ing medicine, like all other studies,
must be systematized and pursued
with n fixed purpose, il it is OK
pectod to yield any solid advantages
and if it is not done 80, it would be
better to dispense altogether with
