bringing Harmony Out of Swine.

To prove that musical realism was not ut
terly unknown in the early history of the art,
the following quotation from Bayle,s Critical
Dictionary" is sufficiently amusing To war
rant reproduction: The Abbot de Baigne, n
man of great wit (yho lived in the reign of
Louis N of France, had invented many
things relating to musical instruments, and
being in the service of the king, was once
commanded by him to procure him harmoni-
Gus sounds from the cries of hogs, imagining
the thing was impossible.
The abbot was not in the least perplexed
at such command, but asked the king for
money TO perform it, which was Immediately
delivered to him; and he effected the most
surprising and remarkable thing that was
ever heard. lie got together n large quantity
Of hogs, all of different ages, and put them
into a tent or pavilion covered with velvet,
before which tent there was a wooden table
all painted; and he made an organical instru-
ment with a certain number of stops, so con-
trived that when he hit upon those stops it
answered to some spikes, which, pricking the
hogs that stood behind in due order, made
them cry i'm such q harmonious manner that
the king AMI all his attendants were delighted
with il. F." Not long ago n modern genius de-
vised an instrument for the purpose of utiliz-
ing the cauial appendages of cats in a SINH
lar fashion. Verify, history doth repeat it.

ultant minority, in a roar that made the gas
flicker. "All obbosed to defending der raiso-

Maids of Coppery Hue.

We met party of Indians on the march,
journeying in the true Indian fashion, to visit
friends or relatives on another part of the
reservation. No one who has not experienced
this absolute loneliness on the plains can
dream of the interest of such an event. The
cavalcade, in long drawn out Indian file, was
led by a handsome girl astride her pony, and
an old woman, with another girl still hand
somer perched on the high seat of lumber
wagon. Both young women wore the flow
ing, picturesque garb of the DakOtas; one was
of peculiarly vivid green calico, much af-
fected by them; their cheeks We're lighted
up with a trace of carmine, their glossy
black braids uncovered and their necks and
arms loaded with species of circular, pink
ish white shell, which is rather costly and eX-
cessively becoming. These ornaments, in
fact have a marked Roman character.
One of our party Immediately accoSted
these Indian beauties, but, with averted head
and a gesture of feminine dignity, they
referred him to the men of their party. \
fine looking old man, who drove another
lumber wagon announced himself with dig
nifty as Red Leaf-a name we knew for that of
one of the principal chiefs through whose viii
lage we had passed. He asked if this was the
new agent but when he learned that it was the

various Forms of Politeness.

The forms of politeneSs are pleasant to see.
Generations of English Speaking people who
have been in France have extolled the cour-
tesy which they have found tlere, though
neither in England nor in this country has
there ever been any widespread imitation of
it. In New York to-day there are a great
many PEE who get along with very few of
the manifestations of polite nature. 1t IS
curious TO think what the result would be if
the New York public undertook 10 initiate
the manners of some of the very polite people
\ traveller, writing of the SwedeS, SAYS that
the bulk of their time is spent in taking off
their hats OF course with long practice the
action of taking off the hat may become au-
tomato and not interfere materially with n
train of thought or with other occupations.
But what would New Yorker think if, on
his way down town some morning he were
to see all the passengers on the elevated road
taking of their hats as trains passed one an
other, or i'll crossing the rivers should behold
the clustered thousands ON the ferryboats
dofling their hats politely often as one load
came in view OF another loadi He would
suspect the town had gone mad. He would
look 20 see if the truckmen would uncover to
one another, or if the policeman took off his
hat to the offender whom he was about TO
club. But our omissions would seem rude in
Sweden. Passengers on the little steamers
which ply about Stockholm" says the trav-
eler, invariably raise their hats to occupants
of any other boat which passes near them.

canal bow politely to the sailors Us the boats

On North Madison street lives n handsome
young lady, and though there is nothing
strange or startling about it, this young lady
is engaged to be married to an equally hand
some young gentleman. For some reason, of
which we know not, the maiden has the rep
utation of carrying beneath her fair exterior
a heart of flint. The aforesaid young gentle
man had been duly warned of this but be
lieved it not. Recently he accompanied her
to the home of a neighbOr to spend the even
ing. They were sitting out beneath the trees;
it was exceedingly warm, and it required an
effort to keep comfortable. y little child of
4 summers toddled up to the young lady, she
took it up, and, fondling it, remarked: Il
dearly love to hold the little ones such
weather as this" a thrill of joy ran
through the young mans heart. Here was
an evidence of der-heartedness, although
it struck him as rather strange the
weather should have anything to do with it.
"And why especially on a night like thiS:" he
asked because the mosquitoes, that are SO

Serious Errors in Teaching.

1t is evident that most of the serious errors
in teaching can be avoided by more thorough
knowledge of the subtle proceSsesby which the
unfolding of young mind is accomplished,
and the influence of older minds upon them.
Locke and Losing both declared that the
secret of learning was to learn one thing at a
time; and it is the radical fault of our public
school system that we overload children's
minds with too great a variety OF studies,
which is rather worse than overlooking their
stOmachs.-George Parsons Lathrop in Bos-
