Teach Children to Read Writing.

Suppose our boys and girls were taught to
read manuscript little? They arc taught
to read print, but manuscript is not print or
very like it, and they are left to pick up the
power of reading the best way they can
they never devote half an hour day for six
months to manuscript reading. If they did,
it would be easier to them all their lives,
and they would learn to believe in legibility
as the greatest, or, at any rate, the most use
full, quality that writing can display-an i'm
mense improvement, if our experience can
be trusted, in the usual youthful idea on the
subject. The business of life, no doubt, soon
teaches children to read manuscript, but
MANY of them never read it easily, and re-
tain through life an unconquerable aversion
to the work, from the fatigue and vexation
which it causes them. We have known men
so conscious of this defect that they always
have important letters read aloud TO them !;
and others who would refuse any work, how
ever anxious on other grounds to accept it,
if it involved the frequent perusal OF long
manuscripts in varied handwritings. No
doubt the tendency to broad and coarse,
but beautifully legible, handwriting, which
has conquered the upper class and is slowly
filtering downwards, is diminishing this re-
luctance. but it would be more rapidly re-
moved if little trouble were taken to teach
children to read handwriting. They hardly
see any until they begin to receive cores
pondence, and are never compelled to read
any, and consequently learn to write what
they cannot read without intelligence and
without pleasure.

What the Eye Indicates.

Size with the eye, as with the brain, is
generally conceded to be a measure of ca
pacity A large eye has wider range of
vision. as it unquestiOnably has Of express
sion. than a small one A large eye will take
in more at a glance, though perhaps with
less attention to Details than small one.
Generally speaking, large eyes see things in
general and small ones i'll particular. The
one sees many things as whole, considering
them in philosophical or speculative way,
often seeing through or beyond them; the
other sees fewer things, but usually looks
keenly into them and is appreciative of de-
tail Some eyes, however, look at every
thing and yet see nothing. Fullness of the
eye, causing a bulging of the lower eyelid, is
a well known sign of language. Persons
with this sign have not only a speaking eye
but also a speaking tongue, whereof their
fellows do not long remain in ignorance. A
general projection or tullness OF the eye
above and below, which brings the eyeball
forward on line with the face and eyebrow,
denotes the quality of physical perception or
the capacity to see quickly whatever appears
upon the surface of things A person with
such an eye would on entering a room for
the first time note rapidly the shape, size,
arrangement and general appearance of the
different articles of furniture in it, the color
of the walls, curtains, ornaments, ETC.; take
in with equal facility the features, color of
the hair and eyes, size and appearance OF any
person who might be present. In looking at
% picture such a person would at once incline
to examine the details of color, number,
grouping attitude and costume of the figures
composing it.

Originating New Ideas.

The most difficult mental Or material OPP
Grafton in the universe is that Of originating
an entire new idea. Many philosophers
deny the possibility. An important thought
in the youthful mind is matured by ref1ec-
tions on the more simple meditations and
ideas of childhood, and these are, obviously
begotten by what is seen and heard in the
still more early dawn of mental receptive
ness. First words and ideas, then, are the
seeds of germ of thought and they are
planted by our early teachers This being
conceded our originality can consist only in
the new arrangement of words and ideas
To illustrate We cannot form in our minds
even an original animal. We fancy living
creature with the body of a horse, the head
of lion, the face of man, the scales OF a
fish and the feet of q kangaroo: but this
would not be originating anything. 1t
might be combination not before dreamed
of, but no proof of genius. So with the
working of all powers. We cannot create
anything. The most original thinkers and
workers are those who are able to form the
most beautiful and useful combination.

BARON DE STAEL HOLSTEIN.
4 Man Whose Fame was EcIipsed by
that OF his Wife.

1t really seems as though every public
character of any sort of note is destined,
sooner Or later, to have Justice done him.
Messrs. Hachette, of Paris, have lately pub
lished the diplomatic correspondence of Ba-
ron De Stael Holstein, Swedish EmbassadoI
to the Court of France, temp. Louis XVI. A
man may be big, but if his wife be bigger he
becomes comparatively small. So while all
very few could say who M. de Stael was
Yet Erich Magnus, Baron Stael, was some
body. AS youth he entered the Swedish
army, and retired from it to take court ap-
pointment, and was thence transferred to
Paris as secretary of Legation. He became
a great flvorite at Versailles, and shared with
his countryman, Fersen (who had returned
from Sighting in our war Of independence,
a chivalrous devotion to Marie Antoinette.
Unlike Fersen, however, Stael was poor, and
in 1871 began to think that Necker, the fl
nanciers daughter, would be just the thing
for him. Staels only chance lay in being ap-
pointed Swedish Embassador at Paris The
King OF Sweden had other views, but Stael
had such dominant influence at the French
court that the King of Sweden: yielding to
pressure from Paris appointed him, and
wrote him: "If yOu marry Mile Necker you
will be the richest nobleman Of your country
and can say, like Cesar better be first there,
than second in Rome. :; : Try to sue
ceed, and ] myself will 60 to Paris and sign
your marriage contract" At length, after
many difficulties and delays, the match took
place, one condition insisted on by the Neck
ers being that he should never take his wife
to Sweden for any length of time and never
without her consent. 1t was this which
mainly reconciled the Neckers to the mar
riage in January 1876. Stael continued to
represent his intriguing monarch in Paris
during the six tremendously eventful years
which followed, but Count Ferson acted the
while, unknown to Stael, as his sOvereign's 5
agent to the ear of Marie AntOinette: ''Stael
says that | have ruined you and the King
by my ambition. He is right. My ambition
was to serve you, and l shall forever regret
that did not succeed" In 1892 Stael was
recalled suddenly to Sweden, and reached it
Just in time to see his sovereign assassinated
at masked ball, crime subsequently
brought home to the perpetratOr by cutler
recognizing the peculiar knife with which it
was done. Stael subsequently resumed his
diplomatic post in Paris, and continued act
lively engaged in it until within year or
two OF his death at Coppet in 1902. His
wife nursed him in his last illness, but dur
ing most of their married they seem to have
lived very much apart. She evidently did
not care for him, and it may be remembered
that in summing up her career, she said: Il
have loved T;od, my father and liberty" but
was silent as to Stael.

A Warming.

An intelligent writer calls the attention
of consumers of kerosene. oil to the perni-
cious and unhealthy practice of using lamps
filled with that article with the wick turned
down. The gas which should be consumed
by the flames is by this means left heavily
in the air, while the cost of the Oil thus
saved, at the present prices, would scarcely
be one dollar year for the lamps of house
hold His attention was called particularly
to this custom while boarding in the country
where kerosene was the only available light

'lhe Human Ear.

Imagine two harps in a room, with the
same number of strings, and each string per-
fectly attuned to corresponding string in
the other Touch a string in one, and the
corresponding string in the other will give
out the same sound. Try another string and
its corresponding tone will be sounded. So
with all the strings. So with any combina-
ton Of the strings.
1t would not matter how you played the
one harp the other would respond. No
doubt the response would be weaker. That
is what one would expect but the response,
as regards pitch and quality would be almost
perfect. Now substitute for one harp a
human ear, and the conditions would, accor-
ding to theory, be the same except that the
responsive mechanism of the ear is much
smaller than that OF the responsive harp. In
the ear there are minute chords, rods, Or
something, in such state of tension as to be
tuned to tones Of various pitch; sound tone
its corresponding rod or chord in the ear will
respond perhaps feebly, but still with ener-
ey sufficient to excite the nerve filament
connected with it; the result is nervous
current to the brain, and sensation of a
tone of particular pitch.

The Discipline of Drudge

A liberal education is a capiWl thing,
and the thousands of young men who are
now honored with the title of A. B. are to
be congratulated upon the good fortune that
has permitted them to acquire the mental
discipline resulting from four years course
of academic study. But these young men
must not make the mistake of supposing
that this discipline is an all-sufficient prepa-
ration for the higher callings OF life. That
is, the young men who purpose to enter any
Of the branches of professional life, for in
stance, must not imagine that the fact Of
their having college education will permit
them to leap to the top rung of the ladder at
once The discipline they have is valuable,
but chiefly so as the basis for the acquire
ment of practical knowledge, without which
snccess is impracticable. BY practical knowl-
edge we mean acquaintance with tAf minute
or little details that go to make urS3ll occu-
pations Such knowledge a coll educa-
ton cannot give and is not intended to give.
1t is only to be acquired by patient applica-
ton The discipline of the college culricu-
lum must be supplemented by another kind
OF discipline, namely, the discipline OF
drudgery No one, however largely endow-
dowed with mental power, can be exempted
from the necessity of acquiring this disci-
pline. 1t is far more essential to success than
the discipline furnished by a college course.

Private Abuse Of u Newspaper.
IExcIIange.l

Exchange.
Some people think they are very smart
when they abuse q newspaper or editor.
They forget that many papers have largely
profited by becoming the objects of these at
tacks and that some editors have thriyen on
being assaulted.
Aside from this consideration, it should be
remembered that an editor is often obliged
to carry very delicate position. His sense
of right will sometimes cause him to attack
or defend man, business class or a
cause at the risk of making enemies ofothers
only to find those in whose interests he has
labored display ingratitude.
Of course no level-headed editor expects
to find much gratitude or charity. He must
generally be content with the approval OF
his own conscience, and pursue the course he
believes to be right, regardless of either
frowns or smiles, supported by his conscious
rectitude. ....-. -......
1t will come alright i'll the end. 1t is hard
to be misunderstood, and to find those to
whose support you have earned right de-
sert YOU to meet alone the attacks Of those
you have inicensed in pursuing the course
you were convinced was right, but you will
thereby learn lesson of self-reliance, and
form habit of Judging for yourself that
will be invaluable. You will be able to tell
the truth, however distasteful, and refuse to
utter a falsehood, no matter how much
pleasanter it may promise to make things go.
