Highland Vehicles.

Every vehicle in Scotland, especially in
the highlands, is provided with a brake.
No pony chaise or village cart is without
one and to go down the smallest declivity
without using the brake is regarded as
the height If recklessness as to the dri-
yer, aud cruelty as to the horses. Its use
on four horse coach is plain enough, but
why the pony ehaise should have it is not
so plain. The horses are trotted up the
hill and walked down. and the American
fashion of walking them up the hill and
trotting them down is esteemed heterodox
in the highest degree,
The Scotch horses and ponies are strong
and wiry, but like the English horses,
they lack get up and go. They never
seem to be in hurry to be off, and indeed
carry so much more flesh than American
horses that it is no wonder they lack
spirit The oats on which the horses in
Scotland are so abundantly fed make

the toughest thing there is upon the face
of the earth. A pony does not necessarily
mean Il miniature horse, for ponies are OF
all sizes, and some are really imposing,
they are so tall. Mules, there are none,
and donkeys are rare.-Cor. New York

A CHINESE FARCE.
How the Play Dragged its Slow Length
Alonl-Eate of a Rnre.


The hero. a sea captain, comes in and seatg
himself at a table to write; but he is heavy
with sleep, his head som droops, and he falls
into peaceful slumbcr But scarcely has
bis nap begun when he is disturbed BIZ the
hasty entrance of Il breathless fellow who be-
gins, with an cir of great consequence to pant
out long tale Of not the slightest import
ance. The captain listens for a time with
wide open eyes, but when he finds that the
story has settled down into an uninterrupted
sing song which shows no prospects of reach
ing an early conclusion, he tries to break tho
thread OF the narrative. All in vain, for the
tedious fellow represses his Interruptions
Win deprecatory wave of his hand, and
goes on In his monotonus way with head
thrown back, and eyes half closed in an
ecstasy of delight at having secured a
listener
After time the captain, submitting to the
inevitable, adopts tho wisest course in the
| circumstances, and dozes off to sleep again.
The bore is SO satisfied with himself. and SC
engrossed in his talo that he mover notices
| this, and still goes on, sce-saw, sing-sonr.
with never stop till the audience or at
least one of them, grow as weary as the cap

a llmpng ghost of horrible appearance, who
remembers his own sufferings on earth, hops
IN unseen to befriend tho captain. He squats
silently behind the chair of the story teller.
| holding tho club he carries in readiness to
strike, while that worthy is still quite uncon-
sciously jabbering his interninable nonsense
Once tho club is raised threateningiy over
him, and twice, and yet ho goes on; then a
laundering stroke descends on his shoulders,
which stops his voice SO suddenly that it
leaves him with open mouth in tho middle of
a word In comical terror he gazes about
| in vain attempts to find out whence tho blow
came, then in amazement, seizes the sleeper
and rouses him to tell of this terrible new af-
fair But the captain listens with ilazy mat
tention, evidently thinking it some more of
tho same tale, and dozes off again immedi-
ately.
The bore, abandoned now to the tender
mercies of the specter, runs hither and thither
In horror, adopting first one plan and then
another to discover or avoid his invisible as
sailant; but the ghost crawls after him wher-
ever he goes, now clubbing, now clutching
him, until at last the poor wretch makes his
escape half dead with fright, and the captain
is left to sleep in peace, while the ghost curls
up by his side like a faithful dog whose labors
are done.-Macrnillan's Magazine,

School Hours for Children,

On rainy days, instead of the usual hours
lntefnission at noon, considerably less than
an hour is taken for recess, and with this ex
ception the children are kept continuously at
work from shortly after o'clock till q This
S known in school phraseology as short
session. the last two hours thereof, any
teacher will bear me out in saying, are worse
than useless. Children and teacher alike are
weary and irritable. They act and react
upon one another. 1t is more than doubtful
whether anything is effectually taught or
effectually learned. Surely when school
hours are so long educational work might be
completed in them. After giving four or five
hours to mental work in school, children
should not be required to study two or three
hours longer out Of school Home work often
takes up the hour of sunlight which remains
after school on a winters day, and children,
who need sunshine as much as do daisies, live
i'll semi-darkness till their cheeks are blanched
like celery stalks. In half the time now
spent in lessons children would acquire as
