Slcdge DOGS of Kzmschat J.

kamschatkan dogs are probably the most
sagacious Of all feral types, and are employed
and trained in the most careful manner for
the multitudinous services required Of them.
Soon after birth they are placed with their
dam in a deep pit, that they may see neither
man nor beast, and, after having been
weaned, are condemned TO solitary connno-
ment for sig months, at the end Of which
time they are Put to a sledge with other dogs,

Tho Growth of Jerusalem.

The Neuesten Nachrichten aus dem Nor

Palestine, states that the city OF Jerusalem is
growing in size and population at a remark
able rate. Its growth is al. the more sur
prising because neither It's situation nor its
trade is favorable to a rapid increase; it lies
among not very fertile group of mountains;
it has next TO no commerce, and has no manu-
features. Nevertheless, new buildings are
rising daily; churches, gardens and tns.itu-
tons of various kinds are filing up tho for

The DelSarfe System.

Tho Delsarte system is too comprehensive
TO be incorporated in an article OF this kind
but 1t uses no chemical appliances in its de-
yelopment. IL is founded on the reciprocal
relation OF body, mind and soul, and its aim
Is the thorough subjugation of muscular It's
sue to mental discipline To accomplish this
the pupil is taught by various mechanical
exercises to take the will entirely out OF
voluntary muscles, to disocate members at
will as if they were dead. This requires
much more practice than one realizes, but.
once accomplished in limb and head, there
has been attained perfect freedom of every
part of the body from all stiffness, and also
not only beautiful suppieness and fexi-
bility Of muscle, but marked development as
we'll The motions used are exceedingly
simple and belong to what are callcd the
freeing exercises" among which are i'll
cluded the following motions, together with
many more: Drop the hand lifeleSsly at the
wrist and with the muscles of the arm shake
and toss it at will as if it were broken OFF at
the wrist and hung only by string: drop
the arm in the same lifelesS manner and with
the body throw it about in every direction !;
drop the head, let it turn with the muscles
Of the neck about on the trunk: stand on
haSSock, cut one limb of at the hip and let it
swing without the use of its own muscles,
and so on until you have learned to take the
will out Of every member, u feat requiring
much practice.
Then comes the second step in the process,
"the controlling exercise" The pupil is
taught just what muscles should be used in
certain acts and TO express certain emotions,
and the plastic muscles are readily influenced
by the controlling mind. All these mechan-
ical exercises become in time unconsciously
applied, the mind from within permeates the
remotest tissue, and the trained disciplined
muscle responds Ia skilled and swift obedi-
ence to its dictates. The most beautiful ez-
hibition OF Delsartian principles may be seen
in Mary Anderson's Galatea as she quickens
into life and animation. The first percep-
tfble thrill is at the chest; it guivers up 10
the shoulders, glovs in tho face, stirs in the
arms last of ALL she speaks, and tho marvel
is wrought--New York Sun.
