UNCONSCIOUS EDUCATION.

A FEW evenings ago a little party of
children were gathered in pleasant par
lor to look at some "views" exhibited
with the use of fine magic lantern.
Among the pictures thrown upon the
canvas were some very ordinary ones,
entirely devoid of artistic beauty. All
the children but one were, in spite of
their quality, delighted with all the pict-
ures, and applauded all with remarkable
impartiality. There was one, little girl
of but four years, who, after few of the
poorer pictures had been shown, cried
out, ~ don't want to see any more of
those horrid things" Curious to know
why she was more discriminating than
her fellows, we found, upon inquiry, that
she had been trained in home where an
abundance of the best pictures adorned
the walls, her own play-room having
profusion of them. Insensibly her eye
had been trained to fine perceptions Of
artistic beauty. and the pictures which
pleased other children offended her good
taste,
1t Is almost impossible to estimate the
importance of this unconscious training Of
the eye, even among the youngest. The
incident we have related shows how much
is possible from the art education which
schools. There has been much opposition
on the ground of the uselessness Of this
among the younger scholars. But it IL
far from useless. Right impressions can
be made far earlier than we imagine, and
with this training, begun very early, We
shall find the development Of q genera
ton out of which better mechanics and
artists will come than can possibly be OBJ
tanned without it.-Commercial Bulletin.

TIE Third House.

A DETROIT boy, aged twelve, whose
uncle is member Of the Legislature,
was permitted to make trip to Lansing
a few days ago in order to visit the State
House. He came home yesterday noon
chuck full of importance, and when his
little brother ran to meet him at the gate,
William coldly waved him back and said:
Il refer you to the Committee on Fish
cries, hub; and how's my dog?"
His mother was glad to see him, and
when she asked if he had enjoyed himself
he replied:
"Oh, l suppose so; though I now
move to strike out all after the enacting
clause"
"What sort of talk is that, Willie,
dear?' she asked in great surprise.
"Never mind the talk, mother; but
move the previous question and bring on
the pancakes"
The hired girl came in with the dinner
He looked at her with great dignity, and
replied:
81 now move to lay your petition ON
the table, Hannah, for future considers
tion.''
She got mad about it, and William
slyly informed his mother that it was his
opinion that Hannah's title should be
made to conform to the body Of the bill.
He went out to see the boys after dinner,
and house painter asked him where No.
657 was.
"We'll have cali of the House and
see," replied the boy as he looked around.
"Whose house ?" asked the painter.
Cor, you can rise to question OF priv
ilege,' continued the lad.
Il don't want no sass!" said the paint
er; who thought the boy was making fun
of his red nose.
"Of course not. Let's pass the bill to
third reading, or else 60 into Committee
Of the Whole and debate it,
II think you need dressing DOWN.
growled the painter, and he banged Will
lam into a snow-hank and pushed heap
of snow down behind his collar.
Have the minority no rights :" yelled
the boy, as he kicked the painter on the
shin.
He would have been wolloped had
not his mother appeared. The painter
moved. away at the sight of her; but called
out:
"I'll see you again, bOy!"
II refer the whole subject to father,
with instructions to report bill to walk
you into the Police Court" replied the
Representative. and he went in to tell his
mother the difference between suspending
the rules and rushing bill, or referring
it to the Committee on COrnfelds till some
one came around with the cigars.-Detroit

SnObbery In England.

If you think flunkeyism in England
died out under the sarcasm of the SnOb
Papers," you have complimented us
grievously, as Dogberry Skipwith would
say. 1t is on record that, last week, a
boy, educated at the City of London
School, was nominated to clerkship in the
City of London docks. He passed sat.
isfactory examination, but was informed
that his services would Lot be required.
Why? Because his father was coach
man! Yet Lord Beac0nsfeld was an at
torney's clerk, and his wife mihiner;
Mr.. Adams, Queens counsel, who was
Governor of Hong Kong, was printers
reader, and his wife a seamstress. It may
well be asked who are these snObs of the
City of London docks, who disqualify
young fellow on grounds that are no bar
to the learned professions, nor to the civil
service. Some years ago, had the honor
of special engagement to attend grand
National ball at the dowager City of Bath,
to describe the scene for the leading jour-
nal there. / was requested to 60 by
back staircase into the orchestra, a. it was
impossible to. get newspaper man an in
vitatiOn, for the committee had refused
tickets to the daughters of the Mayor be-
cause their father was linen-draper.

ball, but not in the local paper, ana

other. They are therefore entertained at

A Cool Conductor.

l DON'T know whether you would call
it GOODNESS, or brazen impudence, and
perhaps it don't matter; but for what
your Frenchman understands by noncha-
lance, in its most perfect form of develop
ment, commend us to Pete Frost, afore-
time connected with the Portland & Buck
field Railroad, in Maine, but now serving
the B. & p, running out from Boston It
was years ago, when Frank o. j. Smith
had put tho Buckfield branch into rum
ming order. and had built steamer to
connect with Mexico and Rumford, on the
AndrOscOggin. Frost was one of the first
conductors on the road. He seemed to
think he could drive an engine as he had
been in the habit of driving the North
Waterford stage.cOach. His first grand
operation was to collide with an engine
and tender between Minot and Hebron,
BY which both engines were essentially
smashed. His next brilliant exploit was
close to Buckfield, when he ran plump
into freight train.
Mr.. Smith thought that would answer,
d he dropped a polite note to Frost, in
forming him that his service would be no
longer required on that road. Away
posted Pete to Portland, finding Frank
Oh. at the old Elm House.
Mr.. Smith," said he, plumply and
unblushingly, 81 wish to be reinstated
on your road.'
"What!' exclaimed the Governor.
:" Put you back on that road?"
eyes, sir"
Trust you again as conductors''
" Exactly, sir.''
Bless me! and you have already
smashed up three engines for us, beside
.endangerlng many lives!''
Yes, strand for that very reason you
ought to put me back there. I have now
learned the trade. You can trust me. If
anybody has any question about the pro-
priety of trying to put two engines ahead,
on the same track, and in opposite direc-
tons, it is not me sir. / have tried it
twice, and kn0ao-it-can't-be-
1t was too good. The twain took some.
thing together in Charley's little back
parl6r, and Pete Frost was reinstated.
Pete has been railroading ever since, and
has never met with another accident. In
fact, he is accounted one of the best con-
ductors running out from Boston.

A Queer Rabbit Habit.

Some mountaineer of the Pacific coas
tells San Francisco paper a strange
story Of q custom of the "Owassoes'' or
Rabbit Indians. 1t is that of alternating
their babies. The narrator had often
heard the story but never believed it,
which was creditable to his sense. He
went to see for himself, and saw it with
his eyes-which is rather hard on the
eyes, or else discreditable to his character
for truth and veracity. He goes on to say
that the Rabbit Indians, at the approach
OF winter, on account of q scarcity of food,
sink their children in the bottom of.the
lake on the borders of which they live,
and resurrect them again in the spring.
That they put them in birch bark "mo-
kocks," like an egg shell. sealed up air
tight with gum, bury them beneath the
ice for the winter, shake and wake them
up again in the spring, and find all alive
and well, except about two per cent. of
deaths-nOt more than wOdld naturally
have occurred had the children been run.
ming around loose. But be it said to the
credit of this investigating mountaineer,
that he did not 60 among the Rabbits in
time to see the children sunk in the lake
for the winter, nor did he wait to sec
them brought ur alive ana kicking in the
spring. He was present at the wedding
feast of the Lady Louisa Na-ga-nup's
daughter to one Boyle, q broth Of boy
from Galway. The marriage feast lasted
week. He saw some unseated "mO.
kocks'' and asked If the story of putting
their children to sleep for the winter were
true. They assured him twas, and stated
that there were three or four hundred of
their young people now under the water
since November, and they expected they
would almost all be safe and we'll about
the middle Of May, when they would be
able to supply them with food. This was
the evidence, and the mountaineer came
away satisfied that the Rabbits would not
lie about q few little young ones. Be-
side, he saw no children around, and the
solemn word of the Indians accounted for
their absence. The medicine men con-
firmed the story Of the custom, but our
white doctors may well be permitted to
doubt it, and excused If they do.-St.
Louis Republican.
