asked the cabby. "Well, my man, that's
what don't know and what you ought
to know, If you pretend to know your

Malicious Purpose.
The various professions have their own
records of practical jokes, which too
often proceed from some serious or mali
cious purpose. One such prank, under
taken with vengeful design, was that Of
the Belgian painter Wirtz, who, year
after year, sent pictures to the Salon,
only to have them returned, as the
judges, whose duty it was to pass upon
the pictures submitted, would have
nothing to 10 with him.
Finally he became possessed of a
genuine Rubens, which he sent off to the
Salon bearing his own name. 1t was al

How "a Baby Opens Its Mental Eyes.
In the last volume of the !" Educational
Series" on ''The Development Of the In
tellectr Mr.. II. w. Brown has presented
a conspectus of the observations of Pro-
fessor Preyer on the mind of the child,
which shows schronologically the gradual
development of the senses, intellect and
will of the growing child, and presents
in a condensed form the result of great
number of careful observations 1t is
recorded that sensibility TO light, touch,
temperature, smell and taste are present
on the first day Of infant life. Hearing,
therefore, is the only special sense which
is not active at this time. The child
hears by the third or fourth day. Taste
and smell are senses at first most active,
but they are not differentiated. General
organic sensations of well being or dis
comfort are felt from the first, but pain
and pleasure, as mental states, are not
noted till at or near the second month.
The first sign of speech in the shape Of
utterance of consonant sounds is heard
in the latter part of the second month.
these consonants being generally ssm,"
q, "g," or 81" All the movements Of
the eyes become coordinate by the
fourth month. and by this time the child
begins to have the feeling OF sell" J" that
is, he looks at his own hands and looks
at himself in the mirror. The study Of
the child's mind during the first year
shows conclusively that ideas develop
and reasoning processes occur before
there is any knowledge Of words or Ian
guage; though it may be assumed that
the child thinks in symbols, visual or
auditory, which are clumsy equivalents
for words. BY the end Of the year the
child begins to express itself by sounds,
that is, speech begins The development
Of this speech capacity is, according Il
Preyer, in accordance with the develop
ment Of the intellectual powers. BY tn
end Of the second year the child's powe
