From the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
it is not hard to reach one of the great
est of natural curiosities-the petriied
forest of Arizona. Much the nearest
point is the little station of Billings, but
there are the scantiest accommodations
for the traveller. Only a mile south of
the track at hat point one may see a
low, dark ridge, marked by n single cot
tonwood tree.
Walking thither, over a valley SO alive
with jack rabbits that there is some ex-
cuse for the cowboy declaration that
you can walk clear across ON their
backs" one soo reaches the northern
edge of the forest, which covers hun
dreds of square miles. Unless you are
more hardened to wonderful sights than
/ am you will almost fancy yourself in
some enchanted spot. You seem to
stand on the glass of a gigantic kaleido-
scope, over whose sparkling surface the
sun breaks in infinite rainbows. You
are ankle deep in such chips as I'll war
rant you never saw from any other wood
pile.
What do you think of chips from trees
that are red moss agate and amethyst

The Venetian youths, like their cousins
in Rome, are fond of dogs, and the uglier
and more f%orbidding the dog so much
the more it seems to be admired. This
has II very odd result. The gentlemen
wear their boots long in the sole and
curved upward, a mode which does not
improve their personal appearance.
When very exquisite indeed, they further
attire themselves in tall silk hats, lemon
colored kid gloves and collars that rise
almost to their lips. Then, with a dap
per cane and II poodle shaven so brutally
clean that no lock of wool is left upon
it, save at the tip of its tail, the gentle
man considers himself completed for
promenade.
Up and down he goes, bowling zeal
ously to the right hand and the left,
ever and anon stopping to caress the
tips of the fingers of a lady, and ever
and anon pausing to unwind the chain
of his poodle from his elegant legs. He
is an expert at explosives; but the poodle
Is used to them, and bears without one
whine of objection all the abuse it ex-
cites.-All the Year Round.

Sir Walter scott's Literary Biunders.
1t seems inevitable that Sir Walter
Scott should sometimes err. When an
author is throwing off brilliant romances
at fever heat, in electric sympathy with
a teeming brain and u tingling pulse, he
cannot be expected to be overcareful.
No one knew better than he-a famous
horseman himself-the limits of endur-
ance in Il horse. He makes Wilfred OF

to take a fresh steed for the fierce tilt

hot and sultry. No steed that ever was
foaled could have stood the ordeal. But
this may be hypercriticism. Is it hyper
criticism also to point out that in the

Ignorance of the law does not excuse

inal for a mother not to know that scar
let fever and small pox are contagious;
that arsenic and corrosive sublimate and

a duty as proper attention to the teeth,

watchfulness and advice be SO oppor-

given it would in a few years be com
