The Art Of Learning Languages.

NJ. Michel Brcal delivered recently before the
SOruonne, In Paris, noteworthy lecture upon
The method Of learning foreign languages, in
which he oddly condemned all sciea tic sys-

to esta6ii-n III mis- lecture was the prime neces-
Shy oi teaching language Dy ear. The

coIoing to amy system, no matter how
scnolaily the method or how apt The
pupil, was Likely u produce very mdiffer-
ent resu.t.-Ior the simple reason tuat

tural law Speech being the primitive medium
Oh the com unlcltlOn VI ideas sounds. and
written ansuaye only the subsequently deVei-
oPed art o1 liking those ideas by durable signs
IL Is obviously controverting nature-commenc-
Ing at the wrong end OF the iine-to attempt TO
teach Language 10y the eye The consequences
!ishments are truly lameut.tbie. In the
French lycees, according 10 NJ. Breai, it is
held that ten years study are requisite for
the learning OF English! A language should
he learned by the adult just as it is acquired
by the child. This too-much-gnored truth is
we'll manifested by the laciiity with which,

But let II be well understood that no book can
teach pronunciation; that no printed system

ever teach one 10 think in another language
than ones own; and this it Is absolutely nece,-
sary to do before q language can be thoroughly

by the weather conditions under which We are

THE BALL PLAYERS.
a Close Game Between the Nationals
and BOstons-Other Games Yesterday.

The Nationals returned from Boston this
morning and will play the New Works this
afternoon. Their defeat in Boston yesterday
was more creditable than the two that preceded
IL. The score was two to three aud the game
should have been won by the Nationals. Pony"
Madigan was batted for only three safe hits,
but ne sent six men to their buses and made
double figures in the Nationals error column.
The recent trip of the home team was very
unfortunate. They suffered three successive
defeats, two of them being overwhelming.

pectrd. and Force continued to play AT snort
