childish ldeas Of ReautY.

The idea of beauty in children is
strangely varied. A teacher at GER
tain school gave thirty children five
minutes to think over the most beau
tiful thing they ever saw. Five chose
the moon and stars, two the sun and
one the setting sun. One of the five
who chose the moon stipulated that
he meant only the full moon. Two
children chose flowers. two scenery
and two birds. Not one chose a hui
man face. The snow, the rain, a but
terliy, a tigers skin, salt, silver and
gold, a brooch and pink silk all had
one vote each.

cAUsTIc HumoR OF CALICO.
Used In Demolishing Argument Mad
by Brother Scientist.

In a recently published biography OF
Calico some stories are told of the
caustic humor Of that bold investigat-
or. Lotario Sarsi. writer on science,
having said that the Babylonians used
TO cook eggs by whirling them in a
sling, Calico replied: The cause of
such an effect is very remote from
that to which It is attributed and to
find the true cause l shall reason
thus: "If an effect does not follow
with us which followed with others at
another time it is because in our ex-
periments something is wanting which
was the cause of the former SUCCESS;
and If only one thing is wanting to
US that one thing is the true cause.
Now we have eggs and sings and
strong men TO whirl them, and yet
they will not become cooked; nay, il
they were hot at first they more quick
ly become cold; and since nothing is
wanting to us but to be Babylonian it
follows that being Babylonians is the
true cause why the eggs became
cooked and not to the friction of the
air, which is what / wish to prove"
