AS WATCHMEN'S HELPER? Eaily Trained and Often Show Con. siderable Sagacity. "Training dogs to assist the watch men and police is a very simple matter," said an old private watch men of Boston, who formerly walk ed a beat in the South End. "Dogs like the work. They en joy prowling around through alleys and back yards and nosing into cor ners and behind barrels and piles of boxes, and their wenderful sense of small often enables them to locate an intruder so securely bidden that his presence would never be sus pected by a watchman. "When t was walking a beat a large Newfoundland dog began fol lowing me of his own accord. I didn't encourage him at first, but let him go along on my rounds as much for company as anything else. That, dog .watched me like a detect ive and seemed to understand every thing I did: followed me into every yard, and in leas than a week knew every house that I was employed to watch. "In ten days he was doing a larg* part of my work. Of course he could not try the doors, but after the first round, when I tried all the doors and saw that everything was right, all 1 had 10 do was to send hi~i in to search the yard, and In; did it thoroughly. If anything wa? wrong he barked and I ran In to see what was the matter. Once a back door was open. The gentleman of the house had come, in late, left the dcod unlatched and the wind blew At open. The dog knew it was wrong and barked lor me to come. , "Another time I heard him bark ing in a.back yard, and running in, found he had cornered a man hiding behind a pile of boards. The dog worked with me for nearly three years. Every evening, no matter Waat the weather, that dog was on hand at the patrol box where 1 re ported. On cold nights we would go Into an engine house to warnt, and while the dog enjoyed the warming hour as much as I did he was no Sjkulker, but. whenever I was ready to go lie was ready, too. "I lost .1 becauso his owner moved out'of rhe city, but as soon as it became known among the dog population that he wasn't work in,; his place was taken by a hound that I had often noticed following us hi r furtive fashion, as though he would like to he of the party, but didn't want to intrude, and the new dog seemed from tho first to understand every thing that ought to be dona und did it as well as his predecessor."' The Scotch Juror. la Scotland in a. civil case. Jury men get ten shillings a day for their ?<?.? vices, and the ]iiigantsvuiust in addition provide them with lunch. If two cases are tried consecutively on one day, and the same jurymen officiate, they get ten shillings for each case. But the most Important difference between an English and a Scottish Jury is this: Ah English Jury when returning their verdict must be un animous, and if they fall to agree after a certain length of time they are dismissed and th# whole pro ceedings are begun again de novo before a fresh jury. This is a most expensive mode of administering justice, in civil cases, in order to avoid this result, the litigants some times agree to accept the verdict of a majority. In Scotland the jury can always glye n verdict by a ma jority. In civil cases after the lapse of three hours. In tho Days of Brognns. Is there such a thing in the mar ket as a brogan'.' Torty years ago the hrogan (bro-GAN) was the ideal shoe of the farmer and laborer. It was cheap?$1 a pair?and with the roughest kind of treatment ?would last through a season of plowing and harvesting. Two pairs were, enough for a year'a wear. At first this shot was coarse and hard, but when we put it on we soaked our feet in the creek, or branch, until the leather (cowhide) got soft and pliant, when It would fit Itself to the foot as pappr fits rhe wall. Thereafter all you had to do to keep the brogan ia fine fettle was to grease It with tallow one* a week, which rendered it soft aud waterproof. It ought to be the Ideal show for hoys who make rough house. It takes blacking well and will shiue and reflect like a mirror when polished.?N?w York Pre**. Where Brick Ovras Are I'sed.

"She has such a way with her!" \ He presses the picture to his heart, dresses himself with care and rushes out to his doom. "Ah!" moans another young man. "The way she Hitters her eyelids when a fellow kisses her!" He, too, dresses with care, and he, too. rushes out to his doom. "Ha!" cries a third young man.
