How Gems of Art Are Constructed For

The most demonstrative anger that l
have personally seen in many day
was melted in Jew by girl who
worked in his art shop. will not call
his place a studio, though pictures are
painted there by the hundred, because
the labor is quite mechanical. He is a
manufacturer of those canvases which
are constantly being sacrificed at auc-
tion-with their colors so fresh, their
frames so glistening, and yet not near
ly so bad in design or drawing as they
might be. The explanation of their
lack of entire offensiveness is that they
are lad out by means of stencils, after
which the paint is rapidly brushed on.
A row of twenty landscapes were on
the bench They were alike. Each
showed a New England farmhouse,
with field of corn at the back, and a
well sweep in front. At this particular
stage of the work, the figure of Long

boss girl so on going out an hour be-

had by mistake taken from the stock
the form of an Arab and quickly PEN
ciled him in at the side of every well;
and the rest of the employees, following
the colors shown on the thin metal
plate, gave to the far-fetched Bedouin

a New England Doctor Suggests How 1t
May BE Prevented.
The semi-circular canals of the inter-
nal ears are nowadays pretty well I'M
derstood not to be organs of hearing
but of equilibrium. The sensation they
normally give us is that of change of
direction and speed in the movements
of our head through space. When
over-excited they gave rise to vertigo
and nausea. A large percentage of
deaf mutes, in whom the canals are
presumably thrown out of function,
are insusceptible of being made dizzy.
OF considerable number of such deaf
mutes who had been exposed to seasick-
ness, none, with the exception of two
doubtful cases, had ever suffered. All
these facts lead to the hypothesis that
seasickness may arise, in the first in
stance, from the over-excitement of
these sensitive organs, and, finally,
they lead to the practical suggestion
that such over-excitement might be
warded off or allayed by "counter-irri-
tation" which consists in blistering OF
otherwise reddening the skin above and
behind the ear. The experiment is sc

The Aesthetic Element in Education.

DIR. j. D. Anderson, in recent num-
Der of Education, considers the @sthet-
ic element in education. He holds it
to be an essential duty for the teacher
to inculcate an appreciation of the
beautiful by both precept and example.
He enlarges upon the good influence OF
attractive surroundings and insists that
the aesthetic spirit should pervade
everything in and about the school
room. Among some of the practical
suggestions he makes is the following:
"A teacher is not going out of
the way Of his duty if he cor
reefs boy for coming to school with
unwashed hands or unkempt hair; or
if he should draw attention to some de-
feet in his dressing or clothing; if he
should refer to an unbrushed Jacket or
a slovenly-put-on tie. All this comes
within his jurisdiction, and he must adj

all the soberness and gravity that such
offenses deserve" But this adjudica-
ton, it may be added, should be under
taken only by a teacher who is en-
downed with very sound Judgment. ex

heart. Children may be made alto

Budapest, is a town at once very old
and very new. On leaving the station
by which arrived we crossed the tun-
mel of Buda, a gigantic work of an En-
glish engineer, which reminds one OF
the Grotto of Panslippe. We crossed
the Danube, which here separates Buda
from Pest, by an immense bridge, Of
holder construction than can possibly
be imagined. 1t reposes only on two
piers, though 400 metres long. Superb
lions guard the extremities of it, con-
corning which the following anecdote
was related to me: The bridge being
finished, it was publicly opened to the
Municipality. The architect, proud OF
his work, waited patiently for his sue
cess. The sculptor who had decorated
the bridge had the following announce
ment placarded in the town: "WhO-
ever finds defect in my lions shall re-
ceiye I, 900 forms" The crowd came
and admired the superb animals, which
with their paws outsretched and
mouths half opened, appear to be hold
ing the Danube in their power. All at
once a cobbler advanced toward the
sculptor, whom everybody was praising
and said, II see something" They

laughed at the sculptor, and applaudeC

mad with despair, jumped over tn
bridge into the Danube. Every year

A NOTABLE SCENE.
Schuyler CoIfax's Farewell Address to th
United States Senate.

Schuyler CoIfax's Farewell Address to the
United states Senate.
In the course Of the proceedings of
the Senate on March 4th, 1873, one of
the Senators offered a resolution, which
was unanimously adopted, rendering
thanks to Vice-President Colfax for the
manner in which he had discharged the
duties of chairman during the term in
which he had presided over the delib-
erations of the Senate.
Not long afterward, Vice-President
Colfax arose and, stating that the hour
had arrived for The dissolution Of the
Forty-second Congress, proceeded,
with considerable emotion, to deliver o
farewell address to the Senate. Dur
ing the midst of this address, the
hands of the clock reached the hour
of twelve. Captain Bassett went to 1t,
and, mounting ladder, turned back
the longer hand few minutes. This
was q harmless trick that / have
often seen played since, the minute
hand being sometimes set back as
much as half an hour. The Sena-
tors and the Vice-President always
look innocently some other way while
it is being done, as If unconscious of
the act. But every one else smiles at
this subterfuge to gain time, and I
think the Senators themselves smile
inwardly.
After continuing his speech for a
short while, the Vice-President con-
Guided:
but the clock admonishes me that
the Forty-second Congress has already
passed into history; and wishing you,
Senators, useful lives for your country
and happy lives for yourselves, and
thanking you for the resolution spread

favor of Him who holds the destinie'
of nations and of men in the hollow o

they git a good stake they fixes the

New. York, Feb. 6.-The Times has an
interview of Lieutenant Schwatka, who said:
81 asked for leave of absence IN order that
might make explorations of Alask',
under citizens of Oregon. Leave of absence
was refused. I suppose the real reason was
that the war department was about to send
an expedition to Alaska, under command
of Lieutenant Abercrombie, aud did not
want to brins its re ults into competition
with those of civillians-an expedition such
as mine would have been. You see there is
a aregular 'dog.in-the-manger' policy pursued.
The department objects to civilians; the
navy department objects to the war depart
ment, and the coast survey, which is under
the secretary OF the interior, objects to
either, both or all. If one attempts to go
where all have equal rights an alliance at
once is formed by the other two, and all
three unite against the civilian For some
