Original weight Of the mass is said to have

I1EB1c WHEN BoY.-Liebig was dstn
guished at school as ''booby," The only
talent then cultivated in German school be-
aing verbal memory. On one occasion,
being sneer,gly asked by the master what he
proposed 10 become. since he was SO bad a
! scholar, and answering he would be chem
{ ist, the whole school burst into laugh OF
derison. Not nng ago. Liebig saw his old
school master, who feellngIy lamented his
own former blindness. The only boy IN
in the same school who ever disputed with
aLiebig the staion of BOBBY was one who
never could learn his lesson by heart, but
twas continually composing music, and wrI
Steing it down by sleaIlhin school. The same
individual Liebig lately found at Vienna, dis
lnguishcd as a composer, and conductor OF
The Imperial Opera House. His name Is
aRcung. Ii is to be hoped that more ra
alonal system of school instruction is no"
gaining ground. Can anything be more
absurd aud detesablc than system which

3lheir natural talents, that for example, Lie
Sbig was often lecturcd before the whole
school on his being sure TO cause misery ant
Sbroken hearts to his parents. while he wa:
Nall the time conscious, as tho above anecdol'
aproves, of the posseisson of talents similar II
akind to those he has since displayed.
