Using Ones Eyes.

How many of US go through life with
out ever realizing that our eyes have to
be educated to see, as we'll as our
tongues to speak, and that only the bar
est outlines of the complex and ever
changing images focused on the retina
ordinarily impress themselves on the
brain? That the education of the eye
may be brought to a high state eff per-
lection is shown in numerous ways.
There are many delicate processes of
manufacture which depend for their
practical success upon the visual percep-
ton of the skilled artisan, who almost
uneonsclously detects variations of tenn
perature, color, density, etc., of his
materials which are inappreciable to the
ordinary eye. The hunter, the mariner,
the artist, the scientist, each needs to
educate the eye to quick action in his
special field of research before he can
hope to. become expert in it. The fol-
loving story, which is quite apropos, is
related by Agassiz, and it is sufficiently
characteristic of this remarkable observ
er to have the merit-of probability. We
are todd that once upon time the Pro
fessor had occasion 10 select an assist
ant from one,Of the classes. There we're
number Of candidates for the post of
honor, and, finding himself in o guam
Diary as SO which one he should choose,
the happy Thought occurred to him to
subject three of the more promising
students In turn to the simple test Of
describing the view from his laboratory
window, which overlooked the side yard
of the college. One said that he saw
merely board fence and a brick pave
ment another added a stream Of soapy
water q third detected the color of the
paint on the fence, noticed green mold
or fungus on the bricks, and evidences
of "bluing in the water, beside other
details. It is needless to tell to which
candidate was awarded the coveted posi-
ton. Houdin, the celebrated prestidig
itateur, attributed his success in his
profession mainly to his quickness of
perception, which, he tells us in his en-
PERTAINING autobiography, he acquired
by educating his eye to detect large
number of objects at single glance.
His simple plan was to select some shop
window full of miscellaneous assortment
Of articles, and to walk rapidly past it a
number of times every day, writing down
each object which impressed itself upon
his mind. In this way he was able,
after time, to detect instantaneously
all of the articles in the window, even
though they might be numbered by the
scores Penn MOntbtu,

all I said, SIR"
"Then excuse my hasty speech. Oh

A sermon 10 Young women.

The Rev. DR.. James NJ. Pullman, Of New
York, In n recent sermon On The Estate Of
Matrimony," said true marriage WAS not Tor
qualification. Some might say that inclina-
lions and desires were given TO be graiifed.
God gave the passions, it was true, bat he
gave them under lock and key, and he set
in power oyer them a will. Engines were
not put in a ship 10 rnn it to destruction,
but 10 propel il under control. Human
affection WIS like a wild vine, and niaITi-
mony was Code device to train If 10 its
best hight. There never would be anything
that could take the place Of home and the
ties of the charmed circle. MstrimOBy, il
might be said, was a machine that trans
formed mere brutal instinct into high spir-
itual affection. 1t was not a union OF two
creatures, but an agreement between
two spirits to perfect both. IL de-
veloped tenderness in man and strength
in woman, in which both were lacking
No mother could bend over a cradle with
more tenderness than there was TO be found
in fathers heart. The way OF showing it
was different, that was all. There was no
love OF country but that which grew out Of a
love OF home. MatrimoDy developed self
control and self-saerifce. When the sdec-
ton OF man and vile hung by a brittle
thread, death brought their hearts together
again over the little form sent into the world
TO perform this mission. II the golden
threads were pulled ont Of human society IL
would fall apart, and no arid cline could
breed snch SET Of barbarisns az a civilized
people would be made. Dr. Pullman took
the MormOns as an illustration, and referred
to the body as "that cancer in Utah. No
woman WAS obliged to marry. IL was pain
ful 10 see woman standing at the altar be-
side man she did not respect, and above all
marrying him 10 escape becoming an old

A CHICAGO HORROR.
Four Little Children Poisoned by Their
Mother, Who, in Turn, Commits
Suicide,
After Carefully Laying Out the Bodies
for Burial Caspar SeybOldts
CHASTITY Welcome.

CHICAGO, June IO.-Caspar Seyboldt ia a
baker, and works at night. When he left
home last evening his wife began prepare
tions for a horrible deed. They had four
children, aged twelve, seven and two and
half years, and baby four months old.
She dressed them in fresh, white clothes, with
bright ribbons. She then gave them strych-
nine, and when they died laid them out
carefully with flowers in their hands, and all
the surroundings made as beautiful as posi-
ble She then took a dose Of poison herself,
having also put on fresh white chemise,
with ribbons in it. This was just before the
return of her husband at o'clock this
morning. When he appeared at the door sh e
met him, and told him TO come in see the chill
dren all dead and gone to heaven, and see how
pretty they WERE with flowers for the angels.
One of the children was alive, but has since
died Mrs. eyboldt died about o'clock this
morning. The cause OF the demented
woman's act is not known. 1t appears Mr..
aud Mrs. Seyboldt did not live in entire
| harmony; that since the birth OF her last
child Mrs. Seyboldt has not been IN good
health, and it is believed dependency caused
her to commit the deed. From a number OF
notes written by the eldest daughter, aged
twelve, it appears Mrs. Seyboldt talked the
matter over with her, and got her consent to
the terrible tragedy. Several are addressed
| to her schoolmates on childish matters, and
| two to her father. One says: Forgive me !.
We have to leave you; mamma thought II
was the best We could DO" The other asks
him to bury them decently, and tells him
where she leaves money to buy flowers One
addressed to schoolmate says: Mother
was always sick, you know, and thought oil
dying often, and how We would be treated,
and SO thought it best that all OF US die at
once, and bought something to kill us. Baby
first, Annie second, Tony third, alter, and
then mother. We did not suffer much, and
now we are all out OF trouble"
