There was a trial of German war dogs at Dresden resently, in which the dogs came off creditably as milltary aids. They sopt up rapid and regnar communication between the troops and outposts a mile away, carrying the der patoles to and fro. They also served ammani- tion, passing from man to man, the number of ball cartridges they carried being £10 and blank 350,-

Nowadays you may know a woman tý her buttons. The "Watlanu" (unhappy Waldean, to have income by.ward of the "how-room") is the favourite, and every properly constituted female knows that-a-Wetteru button is all rese sad forere very spiiemo of a feminine pars- dise. Carrozze buttons are also popular. Ther www made of “ragotable ivory as ft is called a substance exactly like tvory in opposrace, bat | which is really obtained from the hard while ivory-like kernel of a rather large nut grovn by & bonutiful specios of palm that grow on the beaks of the Magdalena River and in other parts of Peru.. Violine (o shownical prapazation, bronze-coloured in Eue), casmelled iron, carved wood, clouted stool, oli silver; battered god, and strasse buttons are all used and admired. Jacket-buttons are enormous; but Hay ballons for trimming dresses are much used. Parts buttons have lost some of their distinction on account of the studiant skop sarieties to bo on everywhers, but steel buttons are good. They were once popular nid deserve revival.

Max O'Bell la under no illusione ns, to the incapacity of the French for colonization. This jy what he enga shout it in John Ball and Co." In the English colonies the population first, interration of Gorerament afterwards. With na it is the Government first, the popula tion where is it. It stays at home in France; and when cur soldiers have guaranteed the tranquillity and security of a country, the English, the Germans, the Dane, the Swedes, the Chinese, ste.. take up their abode there; and the good French taxpayer at home asks, as he pays the bill, ce qu'on est allé faire dans vette galère. I warrant (ha continues) (Eat, out of our 36,000,000 in France, there are not 500,000 who know just where the Froxeh colonies are.

I warrant that there is not in Franco single mother who does not oppose the emigration of her sons, and préfor for them situations as quill-drivers at 18000 a year. Try and found colonies while such sentiments roign: The British Empire was founded by the spirit of independence in- stilled and alimonted in the English man from his tenderet age, nat only at school but at home."

A coquettish trick ass been revealed to Trich's Paris correspondent. It seems to be widely penotised at rengide and watering place hotels, Those who resort to it are Indios solicitous to captivate, but who have no reason to be prond of their foot. To give rise to tho ilen that they have piede l'enfonts they lor pairs of tiny boots and shoes not made for wear, but to be left outside their bedroom doors to be deed. To give them 4 quite catural appearass the soles and parts of the uppers are smeared with liquid mud kept in a battle like patent blasking. The boots in. tended for daily wear are styly clowned by the owner, when she has not a maid with hor. The person who told me of the beet sad shoe trick is the forewoman of a house in the Rue du Quatre Septembre. It appears that brides whose feet are not small now hire tiny channsees to figure in the trousseau. These really made to fit are not on view. This dertoe was recom. monded and adopted at a great Royal wedding that came off within the present ye The bride had, to into the saleswom "les pieds si longs qu'on ne pourrait se rescodre a exposer nos phaussures." But as the absence of she and boots would have been noticed, a whole stock of elegant and fairly small sized pairs were borrowed for the trousseau table.

The most remarkable force in the Fronch army is the Foreign Legion, which is always allotted the foremost place in any very arduous and deadly French Campaign. Unlike the or dinary French regiments, half the mms are of foreign birth, and all of the have voluntarily enlisted. There are 8,000 of them, and 5,000 at least are men who are boet disgraced in theirown country, and have buried their indentity bero. Is estinated that their motionalities are thus divided :—Alertinus, bwo-fifths of the man: Bavarisus. Baroas, Wurtemburgers, and Pales, ene-fth Prussians, a twentieth; Italiane, Russians and Englishnes, another twentieth Belgians, a tenth part. Along with thieves, esenped martiarers, deserter from foreign armies, and rained gamblers, are men of onco ligh position, all subject to tho came iron dis cipline and the sane arduous service. Not long age there were in one company of this roark alle force a Roumanian prince, who was undor enspicion of having murdored his brother an Italian colonel of cayairy bearing on illustrious navie who had been dismissed from King Huma- bert's army for sheating at carris: a Rassian Nihilist who had eangel from Biberia; an ox canon of the cathedral of Notre Dame of Paris, who had been suspended from hia eclesiastical fanctions in consequence of an offence against public morality; an English ex-captain of the Rifle Brigade and a German count, who had not only served as beuteunt in the Firet Regiment of Guards at Berlin, but who had also hold a position on the military staff of the late Emperor of Germany. It is related that after a terrible engagement in Kabylia in which both the mrgeou-major and his coadjutor. had been killed, there was also. lutely no one left to attend to the wonnded The major, whop the battalion is drawn up, rides along the line. Any doctors or surgeons among yon?" he aski. Tanzediately nino men leave the ranks, each of whom had taken his degree in some, formed European University. And everyone ents there and than about his work without a word af further explanation. In Algeria, Tonkin, Senegal, Daliony, and now in Madagascar, those strange soldiers of fortune bave proved again and again that st Toast they can fight, and that is all France asks

of them..
