The Boss " System Among: Esqui
maux Dogs.
There is always one bully in every
team, whn gets all the choice bits that
are stolen by the others, and generally
manages to keep fat, no matter how
short they are of provisions. He waits
for the others to make the raid, and
then stands on the outside to take it
away from them. These Imllies are in
several grades. There is the chief, of
whom all are afraid, and then there is
the next in rank, of whom all are afraid
but the chief ; a third, of whom all are
afraid but the two, and so on down.
Sometimes tho food is cut into small
pieces and thrown out upon the ice for
all to help themselves, and then there
is a rough-and-tumble fight, and snarl
ing and growling, as if a whole cage of
hyenaj had broken loose. But here the
bullies have no advantage ; indeed, the
advantage is with the small, lively fel
lows that slip in and get the meat while
the big ones are fighting. When a dog
manages to steal a piece of meat he has
a lively time of it, fir soon every dog in
camp is after him, and he has to eat it
on the run, if at all, headed off at every
turn by one oj the bullies, and whining
and choking at the same time.. . It cer
tainly is one of the most comical exhfbi
., tions ever ;witnesscu Sisriinar. . "'

" I have a lile girl," said Mr. Henry
Dole, of this city, in a conversation, "who
was trovftded with a severe lameness in
her legs, pronounced by sc vj Erysipe

tried several remedies without effect,
when I was induced to apply St. Jacobs
Oil and I am happy to say that the use
of but one bottle cured her, and she is
now able to go to school again."

The Noise of Niagara.
Mr. William L. Carpenter, in writing
of a visit to the Falls of Niagara-last
winter, heartily sympathizes with the
impression which the sound of the
mighty rush of water made upon Mr.
Schuyler, who thus concluded an article
in Scribner's: " I have spoken only of the
pitch and rhythm of Niagara. Whatjra the
quality of its tcne? Divine! There is
no other word for a tone made and
fashioned by the infinite God. I repeat,
there is no roar at all it is the sub
ifmest music upon earth."

sands who have been saved and cured by it.

Lips.
Lips, says our correspondent Bow
ditch, owe their extreme red color to the
thinness of the covering membrane, and
their sensitiveness to an abundant supply
of minute nervous fibers'. latCmanly
face the upper lip should extend beyond
and dominate the, lower. Fleshy lips
are often found associated with a volup
tuous, and flfceager ones with a passion
less, nature.' Lips are delicious things
blessings of many agreeable concomi
tants, such as smiles, sweet words, and
those never-to-be-sufficiently-appreci-ated
intensities denominated " kisses.'
There is something soothing and de
lightful in the recollection of a pure
minded woman's kiss ; it is the oasis in
the desert of a worldly man's life, to
which his feelings turn for refreshment,
when wearied with the unhallowed .pas
sions of this work-o'-day world. Lips
are emotion's dwelling place, and pas
sion'stheir breathing giveth vitality to
affections of all sorts, a friend's, a par
ent's, a sister's, a brother's, a lover's.
Lips that smile are gems ; those that
cannot smile are like buds that cannot
blossom, and which dry upon the stalks.
Eternal praise to lips in general, and
especially to the couple we hold dearest.
Sir John Suckling in his ballad upon a
wedding says :
"Her lips were red, and one was thin,
Compared to that was next hor chin,
Some bee had tftung it newly."

I might he able to got an expectorant not con

I inquired of a druggist at Biohmonr1 Ya., ii

three more bottles. Tho attending physician,
seeing the beneficial effects, recommended its

lungs were pronounced cured. Urion mv
