Dickens and iha Dou.

In his book 'sDickens as / Knew Him, h
Mr.. George Dolby gives the following
account Of canine comedy at Washing
ton which Dickens has himself described /:
ifBy some means or another stray
comical-iooking dog had contrived to
force his way into the hall, unseen by
the police and ushers in attendance.
During the reading Of a comic portion
Of the Carol this dog suddenly made
his appearance from under the front seat
and stared intently at Mr.. Dickens. One
Of the ushers took an early opportunity
Of having the dog removed, a process
which was quietly effected; but q little
later the animal contrived to return to
his former position, where he INDUCED
in q prolonged howl, as if in great pain
This had such ridiculous effect on Mr..
Dickens that he could not help laugh
ing. Everybody laughed, but the dog
was unceremoniously elected, receiving
miscellaneous kicks and raps over the
head from sticks and umbrellas. Strange
to say, he returned the next night, but
on his way into the hall he indiscreetly
knocked his head against Mr.. Osgood's
leg. That gentleman was too quick for
the dog. Selling him with both his
hands, be threw him over his shoulder,
and he was caught like q ball at
cricket match by the ushers, and passed
on from one to another until be found
himself in the street. He was not, how
ever. to be got rid Of in this manner, for
on the occasion Of the third reading he
came again accompanied BY another dog; +;
but the staff were on the lookout for
him, and he did not get in, much to his
disappointment, for, as Mr.. Dickens said,
he had evidently promised to pass the
other dog Free

The uses to which sawdust has been
put have hitherto been few and unim-
portant. 1t has been used to stuff dolls,
pln-cushions, etc. 1t has been done up
in neat parcels to send in place Of coun-
rfeitgreenbacks to greenhorn swindlers.
Ice-houses are protected by it from the
heat Of summer It is often sprinkled
upon sidewalks in winter though it is not
nearly 50 good for that purpose as ashes.
It Is, we believe, highly recommended as
mulch to protect the roots Of plants
and fruit trees In winter. A lumber firm
in Canada have lately made from it the
gas with which they light their saw-mills
but that only pays with the material on
the spot as waste product.
A genuine surprise has now been af-
forded to the world by some clever spec
ulator who has, it is said, taken out
patents all round for converting the saw
dust, which has heretofore been nui-
sance to the saw-mills, into paper. The
preservation Of the fibre in wood
pulp has hitherto been regarded as
necessary, and therefore the wood
is not cut across the grain, but
sliced lengthways. The patent for
this use of wood has been very
profitable, indeed, and if the sawdust
patent succeeds it may be equally 50. If
two sets Of patentees would oppose each
other, paper might be got at something
near its cost; but it is much more likely
that they would combine, Sawdust can
have but little fibre, but it is said that
the grains made by large sawmilIs are q
sixth ofan inch long, and that with q
proportion Of long-fbred pulp they will
make good paper, better, in fact, than
that made largely Of the white clay,
which is now used for candies and cheap
printing paper. Hitherto the owners Of
sawmills have not known what to do
with sawdust. They used to throw it
into the streams, but it blackened the
water, killed the fishes, and was forbid
den. They tried to burn it for their
steam engines, but that plan was not
very successful. If they sell it for any
price at all, it will be found money to
themand great relief. We have hopes
yet Of seeing paper furniture, paper car
rlages and cars, and paper boats. These
can all be made incombustible, and theil
lightness would be strong argument in
their favor. In cheapening papier
mache for these purposes, sawdust may
come into excellent and very extended
use.-Nelc York Witness.

Al Drink from DTstiIlinq Ants.

The swedes are very fond Of drinks Of
aIl kinds, generally using grain, but
there is large species Of black ants
aSgshich affords on distillation resin, an
oil and an acid, which is employed with
rye to give favor and potency to the
brandy. The insect Is found on small
round hills at the foot Of fir trees. Cor
sett, who travelled in the country, de-
clares that he had seen the inhabitants
eat the ants with relish. "As I was
walking with young gentleman in the
woods near Gottenburg, ! observed him
sit down upon one Of those living hills,
which, from the nature Of its inhabitants,
! should rather have avoided, and begin
with some degree Of keenness to devour
these insects, first nipping Of their heads
and wings; the flavor he declared was
of the finest acid resembling that "
lemon.
