Enily Trained and Often Show Con siderable Sagacity. "Training dogs to at; dt 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, aud their wonderful sense of smell often enables them lo locate aa intruder so securely hidden that his presence would never be sus pected by a watchman. "When I 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 a?> much for company as anything elsu. That dog watched me like a detect ive and seemed to understand every thing I did: followed ma Into every yard, and in b'rfs than a week knew every house that I was employed to watch. In tea days he was doing a larc-> part of my work. Of course ha could not try the doors, but after the first round, when I tried all the doors and saw that everything was right, all 1 liad 10 do was to send hint la to search the yard, and he 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 I the house had come, in late, left I ho dcod unlatched and the wind blew it open. The dog knew it was wrong and barked for nie 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 nie for nearly three yeurs. Every evening, no matter what the weather, that dog was on hand at the patrol box where 1 re ported. On cold nights we would ,u ? Into an engine house io warnt, and while the dog enjoyed the warming hour as much as I did he was no ^;Hiker, but whenever I was ready to k<J he wax ready, too. "I lost him because his owner moved out of the city, but. ;is soon as if became known among the dog population thai he wasn't work in,; his place was t:ik:nj by a hound that I had ofton noticed following us in a furtive fashion, as though he would li!:<? to be of the party, but didn't want to intrude, and the new dog se< med from the first to understand every thing that ought to be don? und did it as well as his predecessor."1 The Scotch .Juror. !a .Scotland in a. civil case Jury men get ten shillings a day for their to* vices, and the litigants* musl ia addition provide them with lunch. If two cases are tried consecutively on (inn day. and the same Jury men officiate, they get ten shillings for each c?s?\ Bui the most. Important difference between an timgltsh and a Scottish i jury is this: An English Jury when returning their verdict must be un animous, and If they fail to agree lifter a certain length of time they arc dismissed and the 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 ;.o avoid this result, the litigants some times agree to accept the verdict of a majority. Iti Scotland the jury can always give n verdict by a ma jority, in <-ivil cases after the lapse of three hours. in (11?? Days of Brugans. Is 'here such a thing in the mar ke! 3s a brogan'.'

Au affected young per son seats herself at the piano aud be gins to play "The Voice That Breath ed." A Pale Male totters forward with a lady on his arm.
