InranllIe Experimenta.

ID. Talne, writing in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly, on the de-
velopment of language in a child,
says: To see that this is the case
one has only to listen to her prattle
for an heur; it is wonderfully fiexi-
BILE. I am satisfied that here every
shade of emotion-surprise, JOY,
vexation, sadness-fnds expression
in varieties of tone; herein she
equals or even surpasses an adult.
On comparing her with animals,
even those best endowed in this
way-such as the dog, parrot, sing
ing birds-I find that, with less
extended gamut Of sound, she far
surpasses them in the fneness and
the abundance of her expressive
intonations. Delicacy of impress
sions and delicacy Of expressions
are the distinctive characteristics
of men as compared with animals;
here is the origin Of language and
of general ideas. Among animals
man is what some great and ingeni-
GUS poet is among laborers and
peasants; in a word, he is cognizant
of multitude of shades and tints,
even to a whole class Gf shades,
which are unnoticeG by them.
This is further seen both in the
kind and in the degree of mems
curiosity. 1t is easily seen that,
commencing with the fifth or sixth
month, infants, during the succeed
ing two years or more, give all
their time to making experiments
in natural philosophy. There is
no animal, not even the dog or the
cat, which makes such continual
study of the body within its reach
Every day the infant of whom
speak (age twelve months) touches
feels, turns over, let's fall, tastes
and experiments upon whatever
the object may be-a ball, doll,
rattle, toy-once it is sufficiently
known, the infant leaves it alone
it is no longer a novelty; there il
nothing more to be learned from
it; it no longer interests the child,
This is simply curiosity; the child'l
physical wants, its desire of food
having nothing to do with thu
matter. 1t would seem as though
already in its little brain each group
of perception tends to complete it
self, as in the brain of a child thai
possesses language.

How the Germans cheer "a Woman,
English paper.l

Hlgusn Paper'J
l remember some years ago seeing
a German cavalry regiment on pa
rade. The gallant oldKaiser had
just ridden by, and received a sol
dierly salute, but nothing more,
Even the aged Won Wrangle, the
father of the German army, the al
most adored of Prussian soldiers,
had passed without receiving a
cheer. when suddenly a lady, at
tired in Hussar uniform, with q
tiny busby coquettishly placed on
her head, and a bodice trimmed
after the fashion of colonels
Jacket in that handsomely-dressed
regiment, rode across the ground al
a gallop, Then it was that such 9
shout burst from the men as
never heard before. Content with
salute2 Not a bit of it; they
shouted "Hocbp till the guttura
noise penetrated to the farthest
ends OF the parade ground, anC
compelled the Emperor himself tx
ride up and acknowledge on behal
of the lady his gratitude to- hel
brave admirers. That horsewomar
so enthusiastically greeted was tn,
eldest daughter of the Queen o
England.
