Two Children Commit Suicide Together.

Two CulOren commit SulC1ue 1OgeCuers
Our Hungarian contemporaries report
a peculiarly painful case Of double sui
eide committed by two shepherd boys,
respectively aged 10 and IL, near Karls-
burg. These lads were in charge of o
flock Of shsep turned out to Craze on
some grass land admitting upon the
Karlsburg-Arad railway, and had been
several times reproved by the Waterman
stationed near their pasturage ground
for allowing the sheep to stray on the
line. On the 9Th inst, just as the Arad
express came in sight, several sheep had
wandered down the embankment and
were in imminent danger of being
crushed by the train, from which, how
ever, they were rescued by the timely
intervention of the Waterman in ques-
ton, who, as soon as the train had
passed, called up the boys and told them
that he would have them severely pun
ished for neglecting their duty and his
repeated warnings. The terrified lads
held consultation together as to how
they might escape the threatened pen
atty, and speedily came to the conclusion
that the best way OF getting out of their
scrapewQuldhe to drown themse Ives.
One Of them had just had new hat,
adorned with gay peacock's feather,
given to him, which he sold for 10 kreu-
zers to little peasant girl, who had
been at play with the boys when the
dreadful menace Of punishment was i'm
parted to them. With the price of this
hat he purchased some small loaves,
and the three children sat down by the
Maros to hold their "Pamona, or
death-feast, and, this being terminated,
the boys climbed the parapet Of the Ma
ros bridge; their tiny playmate counted
aloud, Gone, two, three" and at the
word three" they sprung, hand-in-
hand, into the river, sinking immedi-
ately under the broken ice with which
the surface of the rapid stream was
partially covered. Telegraph.

A Man Who Knew Every thing.

Ohas. Congdon, in his "Recollec-
tons in the New York Tribune. says
I have spoken Of Mr.. Taylor as a
man of what I may call consultable
turn of mind, but in this respect he was
surpassed by. Mr.. Robert Carter, who
was for several years the Boston CORE
'spondent of the Tribune, and who died
not long ago. Among his personal
friends he was known as "the Don," be-
cause he had q particular knowledge of
Spanish matters, and had been the
anaanuensis Of Mr.. Prescott, when that
admirable historian was engaged upon
his earlier works. Mr.. Garter is en-
balmed, I believe, in James Russell
Ldwell's sc Fable for Critics" where that
writer speaks Of going "to the Don for
facts" MI. Carter was the only man I
have met who knew everything. I
could almost make oath that I never
asked him for information upon any
point without getting it. His mind, if I
may say 50, was full of pigeon holes.
He was perfect master of the art OF
book-manufacture, and happy was the
book-selling business which secured his
services as reader and secretary. He &C.
.cupied that position for some years in
the famous house Of Little, Brown 4 Co.,
in Boston, and afterward he was en-
ployed in that capacity by other like es-
Establishments. But before that he had
much experience in journalism; had
started magazines and seen them fail /;
had, in the course Of his life, passed
through almost every imaginable vicis-
situde. It was q painful pleasure to
hear him tell Of the sorrows Of his boy
hood, which were many, and some Of
them tragic. ss.=. >. :.: p.

Learning to Sneak q Language.

Those who would learn foreign Ian
guage should associate with those who
speak it. The reasonableness of this
suggestion lies in the fact that it bids the
learner follow the method of nature,
which trains the ear to understand be-
fore it educates the tongue to speak q
language.
Hammerton, the artist and essayist,
tells how he once received excellent adj
vice as to learning French from Mohl,
the distinguished Orientalist. Calling
at Mohl's rooms, the artist carried on
the conversation in English, as he spoke
French imperfectly. The Orientalist,
being master Of French, as he was of
several European languages, asked his
guest if he was making progress in
French.
Receiving an evasive answer, he asked
Hammerton if he understood thoroughly
French conversations when he overheard
them.
eyes, every word" replied the artist.
every vel, answered Mohl, "then
rely upon it you will soon speak fuently
yourself. For, when the ear misses
nothing, the tongue is sure to fol-
low, but it always lags little behind.
For the present, you should listen attsn-
lively" 49,
When the ear can only catch about
one word in three of conversation in o
foreign language, the tongue will not
speak correctly more than word in five.
But it soon speaks fuently and correctly
after the ear has learned to understand
every word spoken by natives. ;,

The BooEnRANa.-The boomerang il
an instrument used IN war and in the
chase by the aborgines Of Australia. Il
is about two feet ii length, Fat On one
side and rounded on the other, and is
made Of hard wood bent into q curve
nearly resembling an obtuse angle. The
method Of using this remarkable weapon
is very peculiar. It is taken by one end
with the bulged side downward, and
thrown forward as if to hit some object
twenty five yards in advance. Instead
of continuing to go directly forward, as
would naturally be expected, it slowly
ascends in the air, whirling round and
round, and describing e curved line till
it reaches a considerable height, when
it begins to retrograde, and finally
sweeps over the head Of the protector
and falls behind him. This surprising
motion is produced by the reaction Of
the air upon a missile of that shape.
The Australians are said to be very dex-
ferrous IN hitting birds and other small an
imals, as being behind the throWer they
are unaware that they are the object Of
attack. i' T.
GEORGE ABRAHAIs was extravagantly
fond Of cold cabbage, and one day, See
ing that quite dishful was left after
dinner, asked his wife to save it for his
salad at night. About midnight George
came laboring under stress Of heavy
weather. Feeling hungry, and thinking
of his favorite cabbage, be asked where
it was. His wife replied: "In the
pantry, on the second SHELF" Down he
went, found the cabbage, got out the
oil, mustard, and vinegar, cut up the
cabbage, dressed it to the Queens taste
and ate it all. In the morning his wife
noticed the plate of cabbage where she
had placed it the day before, and, turn
ing to her "dear George" innocently
asked why he did not eat the cabbage
II did, he said. Chow did you like
it," "Oh! not very well; it was tough
and stringy." But here is the cabbage
now; where did you find any more3"
"Why, on the second shelf, where you
told me-" A quick look at the shelf by
the wife and then a cry of agony.
"Why, George, you have eaten $50
worth of lace collars and cuffs that I
had put in starch; stringy cabbage, in

Some Curious Facts About Memory.

M. Delaunay has made communica-
ton to the Socdete de Biologie respect
ing memory as studied under the various
biological conditions. The inferior
races of mankind, such as negroes, the
Chinese, etc., have more memory than
those of higher type of civilization.
Primitive races which were unacquaint-
ed with the art of writing had wonder
full memory, and were for ages in the
habit of handing down from one gener-
alton to another hymns as voluminous
as the Bible. Prompters and professors
of defamation know that women have
more memory than men. French women
will learn foreign language quicker
than their husbands. Youths have more
memory than adults. It is well devel-
oped in children, attains its maximum
about the 18th or 18th year, and then
decreases. Feeble individuals of lynn
phatic temperament have more memory
than the strong. Students who obtain
the prize for memory and recitation
chiefly belong to the former class.
Partisan students have also less memory
than those who come from the prov
inces. At the Ecole Normale and other
schools the pupils who have the best
memory are not the most intelligent.
The memory is more developed among
the peasantry than among citizens, and
among the clergy than among the laity.
The memory remains intact IN dis
eases of the left side Of the brain, and Is
much affected in those of the right, from
which it may be inferred that the right
side is more the seat Of this faculty than
the left. From physiological point of
view memory is diminished by overfeed-
ing, by physical exercise, and by edu-
cation, in this sense, that the ilhterate
have potentially more memory than
those who know how to read and write.
We remember, moreover, better in the
morning than in the evening, and in the
summer than in the winter, and better
in warm than in cold climates. Mem
DRY is, therefore, to certain extent in
inverse proportion to nutrition,
and, more than that, it is in inverse
proportion to evolution, since it is great
est in those persons who are the least
advanced from an evolution point of
view-inferior races, women, children,
the feeble, etc. In short, according to
M. Delaunay, there is an evolution of
the memory, which is first sensorial,
literal, and then intelligent; but mem
ory, properly speaking, diminishes in
versely as the evolution.-Me0ical Press
and Circular.
