A MAN AMpUTATEs HIS Own LEG.-A
strange circumstance, very illustrative
of Indian life and character, comes to
US as follows:
A short time ago yonng Chippewa
hunter was shooting squirrels in the
woods that border Lake Huron, near
Penetanguishine, when, by some chance,
large blighted pine fell upon him,
knocking him down and crushing his
leg, which was fractured in two places.
He could not rise-he could not re.
move the tree which was lying across
his broken leg. He was far from the
probability of passing aid, and to
lie there and starve to death in agony
seemed oil that was left to him. In
this dilemma, with all the fortitude and
promptitude of romance, he took out
his knife, cut off his own leg, bound it
up with his sash, dragged himself along
the ground to his canoe, and padded
himself home to his wigwam, on q dis
tant island. There the cure of his
wound was completed, and the man is
! eWl alive. Strange as this may seem,
is strictly true.

How to Learn q Language.

y. ia not a new remark that the effort
J, acquire a modern foreign tongue by
commencing with instructions in gram
mar is q reversal of the method pre-
scribed by nature, and result. in cor
responding disappointment. The whole
system of teaching French in schools
must be viewed as an expensive and i'm.
nerfect make shift. Seldom any prac-
teal good comes out of it. From any
thing we have seen, not one in fifty
who are so taught is able to freely con-
verse III French.
As is we'll known, children will learn
to speak three or four languages as
readily as only one. Along with Eng
lish they will acquire French, Italian,
and German, provided they are brought
ND in familiar communication with in
diyiduals who speak these languages.
At first they will, of course, make sad
tumble, not knowing one tongue from
another but in time they discriminate,
and avoid any confusion. This is the
true method of learning foreign lam
guages and the fact is evidenced by
the growing practice in England of en-
nloyipg French and German nurses.
Members OF the Royal family, for in
stance, speak French and German in
differently with English, because they
have been taught by foreign nurses.
The Russians are reputed to be the best
linguists in Europe. Many of them
are proficient in half dozen languages.
This is chiefly owing to the practice of
importing foreign attendants on their
children. Accordingly, Russian lady
or gentleman who does not speak Eng
lish and French is rarity. The SIM
tNcity with which a young English
AkIly may in this manner be instructed
II French or German, according to
choice, is striking and satisfactory.
What toll and cost are spared in future
years How young people would
bless their parents for having been
played, as it were, into speaking and
reading with correctness one or two
languages beside their own, and been
thereby saved the torture OF laborious
and often useless schooling. chambers
