thousand feet before him Is his delight
In former times he was venturesome
and often wandered miles away from
his mountain home to explore tempting
tracts of bad lands; and, being unmo-
Tested, he sometimes took up a perma-
nent residence in such places. But the
venturesome inhabitants Of low, iso-
lated mountains and shelterless bad
lands have paid with their lives for
their pioneering, and now mountain

amid mountains worthy of the name.

maker, who invariably makes a pin

ance have wondered, ''Now, If one
Of those pins lodged in that dress

to extricate it"
To-day I am wiser. If there were {
brisk fire at hand, I should instantly
proceed to make stiff little dumplinf
of flour and water, bake it till it was
quite hard, and then give the unfor
tunate victim piece about the size o,
a small walnut to swallow.
The chances are that the point oi

"YOu may say what YOU please
Ibout the merits of the various fashion

Brooklyn, New York, ''but my con-
viction. created by experience is, that
no other material has the enduring
outstanding qualifications of fibre
shamois, for in my tests this summer,
no other interlining has so effectively
held its own when subjected to the va.
rious conditions of journeying and so
iourneying by tho sea shore and on the
mountains.
Many of my customers who had me
use other sleeve interlining in the
ipring, have sent back such bodices,
with the request that I remove the
wilted or crushed lining, or the HAIR

with fibre chamois, for fibre chamois
cannot crush, or break, or wilt, for it

Curious Anatomy Of the Snake.

The anatomy Of the snake is Pc
culiar, and has much to do with its
peculiar motion. The ribs are loosely
articulated with the vertebre, and are
movable. By bending the body in
lateral curves, which is the only mode
of motion, and not the vertical bend
ing, as many think, the scales, which
are attached to the ends of the ribs,
arc separated. and, by their FREQ
edges, take hold upon the. ground.
When the body is Strengthened out
the ends Of the ribs approach each
other, and 30 force the body forward,
then, by the bending of the other side.
this movement is repeated, and SO the
snake glides along. The same move
ment OF the ribs and scales forces the
animal through the water, as it swims

4 with an English Reporter.
! Many good stories are being told
about the late Prof. Blackie, and soma
others will doubtless see the light. An
amusing episode occurred at the ban.
ouet which followed the laying Of the
foundation stone of the Wallace monu.
ment on the Abbey Craig, near Stirling.
Prof. Blackie was one Of the principal
speakers, and prepared a set Grafton,
which was put in type from his manu-
script at the Scotsman Office before

At that time there was more mystery
about these things than there is nova
days, and 1t was not until Blackie be.
gan to speak that the late Thomas Paul,
chief reporter Of the Scotsman. inform
ed his colleagues on the other papers
that he had proofs in his pocket with
which, by Prof. Blackie's instructions,
he would supply them. The grateful re-
porters ceased from their labors, but
were amazed to find Mr.. Paul himself
taking hastily to his notebook and
putting down every word as he signaled
to them that there was something
wrong.
The secret was soon out for Pro-
Blackie made no secret of 1t. He was
delivering an entirely different speech
from that which he had written-racy.
witty and entertaining, flashing with
jeux d'esprit and glowing with patriotic
ardor-but having no more relation TO
the speech supplied to the Scotsman
than the character of Queen Dido to the
causes Of the potato famine In Ireland.
The professor pulled himself up from
time to time, saying, But this is not the
speech meant to give. That does not
matter. You will see my real speech
In the Scotsman tomorrow. I gave It
to the editor" This Joke, which re-
Cured at frequent intervals, until
Blackie at last sat down as well pleas
ed with himself as his audience were
delighted with him, gave satisfaction
1t the time all round.
