A Constitutional MaIk.

Few people walk enough III winter,
vet it is precisely at that season which
people Of close sedentary habits should
walk. How grateful the crisp ais il TO
the lungs. How clear and sweet it il To
she nostrils, How it inspires and su8-
tains one IN swinging gait of four "
five miles in an hour. How the checks
glow and the eyes shine, and the mus.
eles tingle with delightful Eigor, after
such a walk throughthe winter sunshine.

Winter walking, as a "nerVlne,T u d

viii put an edge on appetite that yQg
can't buy at the doctors, and In prompEr

pills. If you have mover tried it, take "
walk. Keep your mouth closed, your
shoulders well thrown back, your head
up, and remember that your Iegs-anI
especially your hips---were given you to
walk with. Some people walk With
their knees, bodies and shoulders-and
no wonder they don't like it. We don't
like to see than. There is anEart III
walking, as in other things. II you
don't believe it, observe the motion of
some shapely woman who knows how tC

Cripples in Germany.

The number of. deformed, lame, hump.
backed people is very great. An En-
glish doctor told us he had never seer
so many rickety, ill-kept children as III
Germany. How can it be otherwise {?
The mothers are in the fields, and can
not be looking after their babies, mend
ing and making at home, where surely
there is always enough to do, for, one
pair of hands. AS We drove along, th3
cripples sat by the roadside tending
cows and goats, which must, never be
allowed to go alone, lest they, should
stray beyond their owners narrow from

far apart, most rudely put together,

sympathy of who are interested
in manly courage and the progress
of civilization in the Great West -
The book has receiYed many other

ADOG STORY.
FINDING HIS WAY HOME UNDER STRANGE
CIRCUMSTANCES

A curious and interesting experiment
has been tried to ascertain the faculty
by which animals find their way back
to familiar places after being removed
to long distances. In order to prevent
any knowledge that might be OBJ a, n d
by the directions or other conditions, a
dog was placed under the influence of
chloioform, put in charge ola conduc-
tor on night freight train, and sent
from Cincinnati to Somerset Ky, a
distance of 100 miles The conductor
reports that on the way the dog slept
soundly, except an occasional groan
like Christian in whisky fit" Ia
the early twilight of the morning after
the start, while the train was taking on
wood at a side track eighteen miles
from Somerset, The escaped from the
caboOse and started off in ''daZed sort
of way" but when pursued gathered
himself up" and disappeared across a
meadow. Thirty-eight hours aflerward
he made his appearance in Cincinnati,
miles. Some time afterward the same
dog was pnt under the influence O ether
and his nose bandaged TO prevent the
use of his ent faculty. He was then
placed in wicker basket and putting
upon an elevated train he was taken
southwest to Danville Junction, east to
Crab Orchard, then northeast to IA hunt
Ing rendezvous near Berca. Here he
was kept in 4 wood-shed and closely
confined over night The next morning
he was taken out on the farm and turned
loose. He immediate Y started for
home-not by the way he had come but
IN Decline for Cincinnati. He had
no appearance of being lost, hut with
head erect pusht d forward as if he knew
he way perfectly. He crossed two
broad livers and three steep mountain
ranges, and hid TO pass by or through
five towns, the centers of tewildering
network of roads and by-roads. The
wind was not from the direction of
Cincinnati when he took his course, and
yet four days afterward he came to his
master on the streets of Cincinnati,
water soaked and full Of burs Now
the question is, hat induced the dog to
walk due North =? Is could Lot have
been memory, for there. was nothing to
remember, and it does not scerl posi-
bic hat it could have been scent, for
all the conditions were unfavorable.

THE NE w Number From TEN
NESSEE

Washington Correspondence, Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Moore, the young republican
from the Memphis district of Ten
nessee, bounded up the aisle from
his seat, waving his arms wildly in
the air, and objected to swearing in
Mr.. Chalmers, of Mississippi, in a
stream of turgid rhetoric poured
forth in stentorian tones. His Ian
guage and behavior were so utterly
ridiculous that the whole house
broke out in derisive laughter.
When Mr.. Moores name was called
Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, rose, and
mimicking the melodramitic style of
that gentleman, objected to his be-
ing sworn in in almost precisely his
language when objecting to the ad-
mission of Mr.. Chalmers. This
brought down the house in rounds
of applause, but it had no effect on
Mr.. Moore, who will require more
time and sad experience to discover
that new members, unless of tran
scendent ability, must be a little
difident, or they will be very Sc
verely "sat down" upon.

The conservative disposition of
the English people prevents their
making many of the reforms in
spelling which have for years been
established in this country. An eX-
ample which all our readers have
often noticed is that of retaining the

the accepted form on that side of
