WORKINGS OF CHILD'S MIND
Society Organized In England to Solve
Mysterious Influences Govern-
Ing Little i Folks.
Thoro Is In London, England, on or
ganization known as tho Child Study
society, members of which dovoto
tholr tlmo to studying tho mysteri
ous workings of children's minds. Dur
ing tho last two years, for Instance,
tho association has boon conducting
on Inquiry to ascertain what games
and what toys English chlldron like
best and why.
Nino thousand forms hnvo boon dls
trlbutod to school children botwoon
thrco nnd thlrtocn years of ago, and
tho results aro now nnnounced. Both
with glrla and boys "Ring of Rosea"
was an cosy first favorite among
games between tho agos of throo and
six. A common reason for this prof
oronco was "Becauso I liko to fall
down."
After that skipping, for girls, camo
tiext, but the boys were strong for
crlckot nnd football' and horses. In
Bplto of rumors to tho contrary tho
doll remalnB tho favorite toy with Eng.
llsh girls. Next in popularity camo a
doll's carriage, and third a doll's
houso. Doys, It seems, aro much moro
liberal In tholr tastes 'and go In
for engines, horses, bells nnd magic
lanterns. Books aro hardly over men
tioned. Tho reasons given by chlldron woro
often quaint. One child volunteered
tho statement that "games tako totro'a
mind oft unpleasant thoughts nnd
duties." Qthors gavo reasons such as
"keeps chlldron from worrying their
parents," or, "keeps mo In at night."
Up to tho age of ton lovo of power
wob tho prevailing sontlmcnt, and rea
sons for preferring ono toy over anoth
er took tho form of an answer such as
"I liko to make It obey me."

"What tlmo Is It, Qraco?" asked
xthrce-ycar-old Eva from her llttlo bed.
I "A quarter to eight," Qraco replied.
"No; I don't think it is.".
"Yes, dear, it Is."
"Well, I'll look when I get up In tho

BOY MAKES NOTABLE RECORD
Earl Hopping, 15-Year-Otd Arkansas
Lad, Raises Fifty Bushels of
Corn on Rocky Soil.
It remained for Earl Hopping, n 15-year-old
boy, Bon of O. P. Hopping,
;llvlng three and n half miles from
Rogers, Ark., to rat so fifty bushels of
corn on an aero of ground conceded
to bo tho rockiest aero of ground in
Benton county.
Tho ground is literally covered with
flint rock, says tho Kansas City Star.
Earl Hopping say's that no attempt Is
mado to clear tho ground of rocks
smaller in sizo than a man's head.
Tho boy cultivated his aero accord
ing to Instructions from tho United
States farm demonstration depart
ment. Ho was assisted In his work by his
goat. Tho goat hauled tho rock from
tho ground In tho homemade wagon
nnd hauled tho manure to tho ground.

'moro successful, becauso of Its slzo,
whllo Its dainty, careful feet ran less
risk in Injuring tho stalks during the
Into cultivations.
' Earl Hopping has written his meth
od of procoduro for Tho Star and has
ftold graphically how ho worked to
accomplish such tesults on apparently
.worthless ground.
Incidentally, it may bo remarked
that the letter la given exactly as tho
boy wrote it. Thero was nptxan error
In spelling nor la grammar, and tho
writing was beyond criticism. Which
loads to tho sldo remark that Intelli
