Farm, Stock and Home. Oonc of the biggest fakes for fnrmcrs Is the agricultural school In connection with tho university In Lincoln. It was started to get farmer legislators to vote money for the university. Another such scheme has been decided upon. A school for domestic Bclence. It 1b hoped It may prove of more value than Is the high sounding little doing school of agriculture. A Missouri Pnclllc freight trnln load ed with stone collided with a Sherman avenue trolley train In Omnhn, totally demolishing the motor. The trailer was derailed, but not damaged to any great extent. None of the passengers nor tho train crew were Injured, although nil were considerably frightened and badly shaken up by the collision. "Willie Schessted, nn olllce boy at tho Cudahy pncklng house, while passing along the railroad trucks enst of the house In Omaha, was struck by a car on the Bide of the head and badly In jured. He did not Bee or hear the car, which was being pushed buck, until It struck him. He was picked up and given medical attention, after which he was taken to his home at the west side of Hanscom park. Not long since we were pnsslng a great barn where a forty-cow dairy was being kept for winter milk, and at tho Hide of the barn was a huge pile of waste corn stalks, which had been carried out of tho mangers. "Look," said our companion, "there Is food enough In that pile of wnste of re jected fodder to make 1,000 pounds of butter, and all rejected for two reasons, palatablllty and Inability to masticate the hard, woody material, a condition which would have boen avoided by the use of the silo." ' Corn and wheat middlings, corn un ground, oats, bread, and other slops from tho house should nil be fed to fowls, changing as often as twice a wetk. Hens should bo killed when threo years old, ns they lay less eggs every year after the third, nnd nnturally be come diseased and not as good eating when they become older. A good bronze gobbler mated with three of four hens of the smaller breed makes a good cross, nearly equal In hardiness, size and early maturity to the pure bred. Those who are starting Incubators for the first time will do well to experiment with a small number of eggs at flrst.If inexperience cruises loss, It Is well that It should not be too large. Chicks can be kept too constantly un der glass. If being reared without a hen, they need some dark, quiet place to retreat to frequently for sleep, which Is as Important to them as food. Keep the hens and chickens tame, so that a visit to the coop will not senre them through the windows, und they will do better. A scared hen cannot do her beat any more than a scared cow. of dividing, as the qucn, the most Im portant factor, is flrht produced and the colony built up afterwards. Kan sas Farmer. Thieves broke Into the store of W. II. Taylor of Exeter. The only goods taken, so far ns known, were articles of Jewelry, consisting of three gents' gold watches, forty ladles' gold rings, Btlckplns, etc. One watch was a cheap affair. A horse was also fctolen from Charles Roper the same night, likely by the same party. Two well-dressed tramps were In town, and suspicion polntB to them. Copies of the volunteer army bill have been received and were examined by the governor, adjutant general nnd of ficers of the national guard who are interested in the provlslonB relating to the manenr of enlistment, especially on the point of preserving the Integrity of the organizations as they now exist and retaining officers. The friends of the guard are expressing themselves nB sat isfied with the terms of the bill and Governor Holcomb snld thnt he thought It left things In good shape. Persons wishing to experiment this year with beet growing can obtain free sample of seed, sufficient for planting one-twentieth of nn acre by sending to the state university, Lincoln, Neb. Early application should be mnde as the amount of seed nvnllable Is not large and requests will be honored In tho order of their reception. Analyses of beets raised will be made free of charge by the department of chemistry. Brief directions for planting nnd cultl avtlng and blank form for reporting results will be sent with each package of seed. Dairy Doings. All butter should be worked twice. If you forget to color the crenm and the butter comes white, put the color In the salt. Cream should be ripened at nbout "0 degrecB. For a starter select some of the best milk after skimming by sepnrator, heat it to a temperature of 00 degrees and have it In a room where temperature does not go down lower than CO degrees Rlponlng Croam. The expert and experienced butter maker Is able to tell by the appearance of cream when It has attained the proper degree of ripeness to mnke the best butter, but It Is a difficult thing to tell, In words, others so they can know. Probably, for thlB reason, most writers on buttermaklng do not attempt to tell. We will try our hand at It; Let us suppose the cream has been held at a temperature of 60 degrees till It plainly has an acid taste, but has not begun to thicken. Now If It Is held at thnt temperature for about fourteen hours, It will ordinarily be In about the right stage for churning. It will be thickened, have a smooth, glossy surface, and, when the ladle Is moved through, It will wrinkle up In front of the ladle. If some of the cream is lifted up on the ladle, It will run off In a. smooth stream, and, when the lost drops fall In tho cream, they will leave little pits or dents. As the cream runs off the ladle It will be left with on even covering of crenm over It the cream will not run off In streaks. Hoard's Dairyman. HOW THE FLAVOR. IS RETAINED. "The finest flavored butter Is made by not washing, depending to expel the dissolved salt and working to expel the buttermilk; but If the butter must be washed always bear In mind that the less water used the finer the flavor." The above sets us to thinking, so that at the next churning there was no washing done. That has been three years ago, and there has been no wash ing done since. The flavor Is now and has been ever since Al all the time. The only trouble with me now Is, I can't make enough to supply the de mand. I Bell to private families at 25 cents all the year around; the worrl ment has departed and the business has become a pleasure. USES A NEW STYLE STARTER. In regard to the starter, I take a quart Mason fruit Jar 1111 It with Bklm milk, from a cow recently fresh; after the animal heat is out I screw on the lid, thus keeping It from all outsldo influence; in about 48 hours previous to using It (according to the season), It will have become sour, the curd nnd' whey will be separated. I then strain It, rejecting the curd nnd using only the sour whey, and I don't want a better butter started. This whey from Calf Cholera. My mode of treatment Is this: I re move the calf Into a dry, warm place, and If its extremities are cold, which they usually are, 1 put some hot bricks or a Jug of hot water to them, and over calf and all with a blanket. I then prepare medicine for It In this way: Take one ounce each, pulverized bayberry bark and hemlock bark, pul verized cloves, cinnamon and ginger, H ounce each. Put three pints boiling water over them, after having mixed them In a smnll Jar; stir, and cover for a few minutes. Stir again and then commence giving It to calf. Give one ounce of the tea In two ounces of a mixture of milk and hot water, every half hour, until you give four doses.nnd then one dose after each discharge until the discharges become more natural. By putting the mixture In a small bot tle you will be able to give It beat. As the calf Improves Incrense the quantity of milk, but be careful to not give too much. While treating the cnlf do not give any more fluid than Indicated above. Nature (perhaps, to wash out the ptomaine), Is throwing too much fluid into the alimentary tract, and you must restrain It, and not assist lt.There are several medicines called hemlock, land some of them poisonous. It will bo well to see that you get Plnus Cana densis bark. The compound should bo Btlrred each time before the dose Is taken from It. This Is a good remedy In ordinary scours. Put a dose In tho feed once or twice a day. Hoard's Dairyman. A BOWERY LOVE TALE. and where the nlr Is pure. Starter Bhould be good and thick nnd have a the quart of skim milk will be suffl It hns been reported In Washington and the east that ex-United States Sen ator Charles F. Manderson will be of fered a major genernlcy of volunteers. Since the first report was published General Manderson to several of his friends has Intimated that If offered him he could not nccept such an ap pointment. To a reporter General Man Uerson said he hnd not yet received any appointment or word that bucIi an appointment was coming to him. Farther than this, he positively de clined to talk for publication. It Is possible that Nebraska may get a representation In the cavalry arm of the volunteer service. A telegram was received from Congressman Strode In Which he says thnt under the proposed call for 30,000 additional men no addi tions to the organized mtlltln will be accepted from Nebraska, but that a regiment of volunteer cavalry will be raised. In addition to troop A of Ne braska national guard, there are In pro cess of organization, more or less ad vanced, a number of organizations that will fill the bill. Colonel Pace of Lin coln has already recruited enough to till a troop or more. R. P. Jennings of Pawnee has enough for another and several troops are being formed by ex membera old old troop A. Herman Blumenthnl a merchant of Fremont, wus In Omaha In search of $1,000 worth of stolen property from his store, and to that end swore out a Bearch warrant fer the home of one of the suspected burglars, but the search availed nothing. The night of April 15 his store was burglarized of $420 worth of merchandise, and the next day all was recovered In nn outbuilding three blocks away. One week later the store was again burglarized, all of the stuff previously stolen being carefully se lected, with enough more to make up the value of $1,000. Next day the Be atrice bloodhounds followed their trail by a roundabout way to the home of Frank Fuhlrod, for four years previ ously a dellveryman for Blumenthal nnd sleeping at the store. The old em ploye was arrested and his brother-in-law In Omaha being also suspected, It was for his house that the search war rant was secured. pleasant acid. Kansas Farmer. If you churn for two hours nnd the cream foams nnd the butter doesn't come, reduce the qunntlty of cream In the churn and see that the cream is sufficiently acid. In warm weather cool cream to 65 de grees, stirring frequently. When the cream begins to thicken cool to 60 de grees, leaving enough Ice nnd water surrounding the cream, so It will be at the churning temperature, 52 de grees In tho morning. Crenm should be held at churning tempernture al least two hours before the churning. "Mottles" Is a term aplled to butter when not oven in color, containing par ticles having a lighter shade These may be spots or running through In waves. They are caused by Improperly incor porating the snlt Into the butter.

After the tenth milking milk may be accepted from a fresh cow. Poultry Pointers The hatching should be crowded from now on until the early part of June. Eggs are cheap now and It will be more prolltnble If proper caro Is taken to hatch them than to sell them. On the farm chickens, or In fact, poultry of any kind, can be raised during the summer at a low cost. It costs no more to grow a pound of pork where the poultry can be given the range of the farm, and It Is an exceptional case when the poultry will not bring a higher price. As fnst nB the chickens reach a mar ketable Blze they should be marketed. In nearly all cases, for awhile, at least, young poultry sell at higher prices than matured fowls will In the fall. This Is especially the case with the cockerel. It may be best to keep a few of the best pullets for next winter layers, but all others should be marketed as fast as they can be got Into a marketable con dition. While after young turkeys are reason ably well feathered It Is alwnys best to allow them a free range, at the same time It Is usually best to keep on feed ing them regularly. While they will be able to pick up a good part of their own living, yet It Ib quite nn Item to push tho crowth. and this can only te done by liberal feeding. Like all other Btock Intended for meat, quicK growtn ana early maturity are essential to securing the best profit. By ft-edlng regularly another object Is also gnlned, and that Is they are kept more gentle and win be apt to come no care Is taken clcnt for about three gallons of cream. JAMES T. MORLEY. HOW LONG SHALL COWS OO DRY? A year ngo we had a fine grade Guernsey that was a deep milker, that, for some reason, we had no record of, so was not dried at all. When she came In she gave but little more milk and be gan at once to convert her feed Into beef. She was from a family of great milkers, whose ancestors we had upon the farm over thirty years ago, but Bhe had to go to the butcher's block. We have cows In our stable now that have not freshened, that have shown signs of It for over six weeks. One of the best dairy authorities claims a cow will give more milk or make more but ter to go dry three months, than a less time. I would not put the time over three months, but I would com mence at least seventy days before she was due, by milking once a day, and calculate, she would have a period of rest of at least sixty days.

How to make and apply kerosene Emulsion, Paris green, bordeaux mix ture nnd alkaline wash was given In laBt week'B Issue, where they will be found. FOR CHERRY TREES. Use akallne wash before the buds open and when the ophlds appear. For Curcullo Use Purls green in Bor deaux mixture when the buds ure open ing; when the fruit is set, and one week later. For Leaf Spot Use Bordeaux mixture before buds open, two weeks later and at Intervals of two weeks until the fifth application. For Rot Use Bordeaux mixture be fore flower buds open; when fruit Is set, and ten days later. FOR PLUM TREES. For Curcullo Use Paris green In Bordeaux before buds open; when fruit Is set, and one week later. For Rot Use Bordeaux mixture as buds are swelling; Just after blossom ing; after fmlt Is set; ten days later, and use ammonlacal copper carbonate as fruit Is coloring. Ammonlacal carbonate of copper: Take carbonate of copper, 5 ounces, dis solve In two quarts of ammonia; keep tightly corked until ready for use, then mix It with forty or fifty gallons of water and use It. I know not If It be from lack of habit, but I can never enter the New York police court without an uneasiness, an inexplicable heart pang. That grating, those great courts, that stone staircase o vast that everyone mounts It In Iso lation, enveloped In his Individual tor ment. The antiquity of the structures, the melancholy clock, the helghlof the windows, and also the mist of the quay, that moisture that clings to walls that skirts tho water, all give you a fore taste of the neighborhood prison. In the halls the Impression Is the Bame, or more vivid still, because of the pecu liar company which peoples them, be cause of those long black robes which make the solemn gestures, because of those who accuse, and the unintelligi ble records, the eternal records spread out everywhere on the tables, carried under the arms In enormous bundles, overflowing. There are great green doors, noise less and mysterious, from whence es cape when they are ajar gusta of voices severe or weeping, and visions of school benches, platforms black with caps, and great crucifixes leaning for wards. Muskets ring out on the flogs. Sinister rumblings of carriages pass shaking the arches. All these noises blended together are like a respiration, the panting breuth of a factory, the apparatus of Justice at work. And hearing this terlrble machine at labor, one desires to shrink within himself, to dwindle for fear of being cnucht. even by a hair, in this formidable gearing, which one knows to be so complicated, tenacious, destructive. I was thinking of this the other morn ing, in going to see nn examining mag istrate whom I had, In behalf of a poor devil, to recommend a stay of proceed ings. The hall of witnesses, where I was waiting, was full of people, sher iffs officers, clerks engrossing behind a glass partition, witnesses whispering to ench other in advance of their depo sitions, women of the people, Impresslvo and garrulous, who were telling the offi cers their entire lives In order to arrive at the affair that had brought them there. Near me, an open door lit the somber lobby of the examining magis trate, a lobby which leads everywhere, even to the scaffold, and from which the prisoners Issue as accused. Some of these unfortunates, brought there un der a strong escort by way of thp back staircase, lay about on the benches awaiting their turn to be Interrogated, and It Is In this ante-chamber of the convict prison that I overheard a lovers' dialogue, an Idyll of the Bowery, as Im passioned as "lOarystls," but more heart-breaking. Yes, In the midst of this Bhadow, where so many criminals have left something of their shudder ing, of their hopes, and of their rages, I saw two beings love, and smile; and however lowly was this love, however laded was this smile, the old lobby must have been as astonished by It as a miry and black street of New York, were It penetrated by the cooing of a turtledove. SCIENTIFIC CHILD TkAINING. An Illustration of the character of the young men who are seeking admittance to the volunteer army was given when E. H. Lulkart of Madison county, rt present one of the bank examiners, made application for a place In the ranks of company L of the Second reg iment, the Norfolk company. Lulkart surrenders a lucrative and responsible position and offers his services and It the chance of war demands his health and his life to his country In a posi tion where his business prospects nre for the time surrendered. There are hundreds of Just such young men in Camp Alvin Saunders, and tens of thou sands of Buch will march from all over the land when the order to the front comes. When the $13 a month and hardship and danger exchanged for the $1,600 per year and life an dcomfort are compared, and the single Instance naiiifl Is multiplied by the hundreds rlmtlar. Camp Alvin Saunders Is un ob ject lesson which teaches that there Is something better than the greed for mere dollars and something held more nobly than money getting In the Amer ican people. To Prevent Swarming. I much prefer to prevent swarming by keeping the queen cells out of the colony. If this Is done regularly the colony will not swarm, or at least the exception to this rule Is so small that It Is not worth consideration. Once a week will answer to examine for queen cells, although It may be looked after more frequently, and all queen cells should be carefully hunted up and re moved. It Is also very Important when colonies become very strong that they be accommodated with plenty of sur plus storage room. This of Itself will go a long way In the prevention of swarm ing. If we have but one colony and wish to Increase the number of colonies and at the same time do not want them to swarm, we can divide the colony and this will prevent It from swnrmlng. Dividing a colony of bees is simply cutting the colony In two. Prepare a new hive and take out about half the number of frames In the old colony and place them In the new hive, and nil up the remaining space In each hive with empty frames, or, better still. If you havo empty frames of comb, place foundation comb in them. In thus dividing remove half of the frames containing brood to the new hive. The brood selected for the new hive should be at least the larger portion of It brood that Is the oldest and Just hatching out. Plnce the brood combs together In the center of the hive nnd the empty ones at the sides. Combs containing honey should also nccom more genue and win tne brood, In thU8 dividing we get home more regularly. If ,U)0Ut haU- of the bees In the new hive, n to feed well they win i ,, ,u .DOO nrihim. tr. h0 nnmHu get Into the habit of straying away.and 8hould go wltn them.

Before closing the hives we should take one or two combs from the old and shake the bees off them In the new hive, so that we may have equal strength.

When Abraham Lincoln was a strug gling young lawyer In Illinois, he was noted for his ready wit and the droll way In which he expressed himself. There was at that time a Judge on the bench who was very fond of a good Joke, especially If played upon some one other than himself. One day he ban tered Lincoln for a horse trade, and be ing taken at his word, It was greed the trade was to be made at 9 o'clock the next morning, both animals to re main unseen until that hour. A forrelt of $25 was put up, that there should be no backing down wnen it came time to exchange. The Judge quietly gave his friends a tip that there was some fun ahead, and as a consequence a largo crowd was present at the appointed time and place that morning. The Judge was the first to appear, leading the sor riest looking specimen of horseflesh ever seen In those parts. Lincoln was seen approaching a few minutes later, carrying a wooden Bawhorse upon his shoulder. The crowd set up a great laugh, In which the Judge Joined, see ing that the Joke was upon mm. Mr. Lincoln came up, and after carefully surveying the Judge's horse snt down upon the sawhorse and exclaimed, In his slow, cautious manner, "Well, Judge, this 1b the first time I ever got the worst of it In a horse trade." A party of Stanford professors un dertook, for a scientific object, to pene trate Into the depths of an old Tuo lumne mine. One of the number relates the following startling Incident: On his descent In the ordinary maner, by means of a bucket, and with a miner for a fellow passenger, he perceived, as he thought, unmistakable symptoms of weak places In the rope. "How often do you change ropes, my good man?" he Inquired, when about half way from the bottom of the awful abyss. "We change every three months, sir," re plied the man In the basket; "and we shall change tnis one tomorrow i we get up safe today, sir." An Irishman, creeping through the hedge of an orchard with the Intention of robbing It, was seen by the owner, who called out to him; "Here, man, where are you going?" "Back again," said the Irishman. Aunt Cherry Mallory was recently put on the witness stand at Adams Sta tion to tell what she knew about the an nihilation of a hog by a Louisville & Nashville passenger locomotive, writes a corersnondent of the Clarkavllle Leaf- Chronicle. After having sworn she wns asked by the wise lawyer If she saw the train kill this hog. "Yes," she said, "I seed it." "Well," said the lawyer, "tell the court In as few words as possible all you know about It." "I kin do dat In a mighty few words," said Aunt C, clearing her throat, and with one eye on the Judge and one on the lawyer, said: "Hit Jus' tooted and tuck lm." An English hostess was entertaining aboijt 300 people at a reception and had provided only about seventy-flve seats. In despair, she said to a compatriot: "Oh. I am distressed! Not three-fourths of these people can sit down!" "Bless my soul, madam!" he exclaimed, "what's the matter with them?" Two Irishmen were hunting, when n large flock of geese came flying over their heads. Pat. raising his gun and firing, brought down one of them. "Be gad!" exclaimed his companion, "what a fool to waste your shot, when the bare fall of the bird would have killed It." An itinerant parson tells that way out In the backwoods he came, one day, to a settler's house, and entered to have a talk with Ub Inmates. The old woman of the house became much Interested In the preacher's discourse, and requested that he conduct family worship. She also Insisted upon hunting up her fam ily bible, to be used upon the occasion. She left the room to look up the bible, but seemed to have hard work finding it. The minutes passed, and she came not. The preacher had time to grow impatient before the old woman reap peared, with a few tattered leaves In her hand. She handed them over, with an apologetic air. "I am awful sorry, parson," she explained, "but the fact In a listless attitude, almost uncon scious, a young girl was seated at the end of a bench, quiet as a working woman who waits the price of her day's labor. She wore a calico bonnet, and a sad costume, with an air of repose and of well-being, as though the prison regime were the best thing she hod found In all her life. The guard, who sat beside her, seemed to find her much to his taste, and they laughed together softly. At the other end of the lobby, wholly In the shadow, was Beated.hand cuffs on wrists, her unhappy beau. She had not seen him at first; but aa soon as her eyes became accustomed to the darkness, she perceived him and trembled: "Why, that's Tom. Tom!" The guard silenced her. The prison ers are expressly forbidden to talk to each other. "Oh! I beg of you, only one word!" said she, leaning far forwards towards the remotest part of the lobby. But the soldier remained Inflxible. "No! no! It can't be done, only If you have some message to give him, tell It to me, I will repeat It to him." Then a dialogue was entered into be tween this girl nnd her Tom, with the guard as Interpreter. Much moved, without heeding thoso who surounded her, she began: "Tell him I have never loved any one but him! that I will never love another In all my life." The guard made a number of steps In the lobby, and redoubling his gravity as though to take from the proceeding all that was too kindly, he repeated: "She says she has never loved but you, and that she'll never love another." I heard a grumbling, a confused stam mering which must have been the re sponse of Tom, then the guard went bnck with measured step towards tho bench. "What did he say?" demanded the child all anxious, and ns though wait ing were too long: "Well, tell me what he said now?" "He said he was very miserable!" Then carried away by her emotion and the custom of the noisy and com municative streets, she cried out loud: "Don't be weary, sweetheart, the good days will come again!" And in this voice still young there was something piteous, nlmost maternal. Plainly this was the woman of the peo ple with her courage under affliction and her dog-Ilke devotion. From the depths of the lobby, a voice replied, the voice Tom. wine-soaked, torn, burned with alcohol: "Oh, yes; the good days. I'll have them at the end of my five years." He knc".v his case well, that onel The guards cried: "Chut! Keep quiet" habt of feather pulling. colonies. This is perhaps the best plan A door had opened and the examin ing magistrate himself appeared on the silt. Skull-cap of velvet, grizzled whisk ers, mouth thin and evil, the eye scrut inizing, distrustful, but not profound, it was Just the type of an examining magistrate, one of those men who thinks he haB a criminal before him always, like those doctors of the Insane who see maniacs everywhere. That one In particular had a certain way of look ing at you, so annoying, and so Insult ing, that you felt guilty without hav ing done anything. With one glance of the eye he terrified all the lobby: "What does all this noise mean? Try to do your duty a little better," he said, addressing the guards. Then he closed nis aoor wun a bimrp click. The new scientific training for chil dren demands of the parents a prepar tlon before the creation of the child. They must normally exercise each ons of the intellectual and emotive funo tlons of the mind, bo as to create In the brain those structurco which they desire to transmit to their -children. During the period of expectant ma ternity the mother must not exercise any of the evil emotions, and must dally bring into activity each one of the good emotions. During the first twelve months of Its life the child should be caused system atically to functionate each one of lta nine classeB of sensations, so aa to build In Its brain the structures which corespond to each of the sensations of each sense. To omit any one sense would leave one part of the brain un developed and one part of the uni verse unrepresented In the mind. Simultaneously with the Intellective training, there is given a correspond ing moral training, which consists in developing the plensurable sensations, the artlBtlc Images, the moral concepts nnd the normal affections and emotions which grow out of them nnd constltue the moral disposition. There Is also a parallel conduct-training. The mind does all that Is done In this world. And to get more mind and learn how to use Its different functions are fundamentally to promote every form of effort and progress. ELMER GATES, Laboratory of Psychology and Psy- churgy, Chevy Chase, Md. Baby Elmer Gates at three years of ago Is a scientific wonder. His train ing began when he wns three months old, and his first instruction had rela tion to the primary sensations of touch, pressure and temperature. When he bathed, warm and cold sensations were applied nil over his little person. This was accomplished by means of two small rubber bags, one containing cold water and the other hot water. No great labor was Involved In car rying out the system, six minutes each day being all that was required. When any sensation had been repeated dally for five or six days the corresponding brain cells were considered to be fully developed. The training of one sense was kept up until that was completed. Then a beginning was made with the next one, and so on. It Is gen erally supposed that a human being possesses five senses, but the fact Is that he could not get along satisfactor ily will less than nine. These are the senses of touch, pressure, muscular, feeling, heat, cold, smell, taste, sound and sight. HOW HIS SEEING WAS TRAINED. Baby Gates' vision was trained In a very elaborte fashion. During a few minutes every day for ten days various pitches of red were shown to him. IC a stripe of rainbow be thrown upon a wall with a glass prism, the coloi red will cover a certain urea, but tha lower part of this area will be differ ent red from the upper. In fact, ther will be a number of reds In It. Thesa were shown to the child, and he waa taught to discriminate among them, making play of It. There was nothing like work about It. What could be better calculated to amuse a baby than an electric wheel carrying pasteboard disks of different hues and showing all possible variation! of colors? This was one of the toys em ployed In the nursery. All of this, be It observed, was ac complished by giving not more than ten minutes a day to the task. It waa a pastime for the child; he cried for more. At about the time When he began to crave another food than milk the child commenced to taste the flavors of foods which he was soon to eat. HOW HE LEARNED SHAPES OF OBJECTS. It was considered necessary to give the child an acquaintance with forms of all kinds, and for this purpose geo metrical blocks were utilized. The pro fessor constructed a box the top of which was pieced with forty holes of as many different shapes. With this were suplled forty blocks of as many different forms each corresponding to one hole in the box top. The arrange ment was such that each block could pass Into the box only through tho hole It was made to fit. To any In telligent adult, tackling the Job for a little problem to pick up the blocks in succession and drop them through their respective holes. Nevertheless, Baby Gates was able to do this with not much trouble when he was eleven months old. This means that at that age he differentiated forty geometrical forms. MOW TO MAKE A CHILD GOOD. The child was caused to exercise good and agreeable emotions every day; fur thermore, It waa not permitted that he should see disagreeable emotions mani fested In his parents, In his nurse or in his playmates. This was the theory that evnll emotions create correspond ing structures In the brain, and that such structures give to the child more facility In entertaining similar emo tions subsequently. The next step was to Induce the child to take up objects In groups. When he had formed Images of an appje and a potato, other vegetables and frulta were shown to him, and these were kept In the same room. In a different room other objects were kept, so as to give a number of images for each great group of natural objects plants, animals, im plements, etc. When Baby Gates was fourteen months old he had registered In hlB brain the Images of 11,000 objects. Of these a written record was kbui. CONCEPT BUILDING. The objects having been put into groups, he was taught the names of the groups. This was what the profes sor calls "cocept building." If tha child's ltnerest was attracted to an ob ject, the name of It was pronounced a number of times. At fifteen montha Baby Gates used 3S0 words, and of these a list was kept. The best known rec ord for that age heretofore was twenty four words. Eleven words Is a very unusual performance, and many a child at that age uses only two or three words, such a8 "Papa," "Mamma" and "Dolly." At twenty months this remarkable Infant could give the names of 360 anlmalB when shown pictures of them, and could name 4.200 objects in the house and laboratory. All children could do as well If properly trained. Tha municipal guard taken to task, red, mortified, looked around a moment for some one upon whom to lay the blame. But the little girl said nothing more, Tom sat quiet on his bench. All at once he perceived me, and as I was at the door of the hall, almost In the lobby, he took me by the arm and Jerked me around brutally. "What are you doing there, you?" Little 4-year-old Clara, who had lived In the country all her life, accom panied her mother to the city and, seeing a lady drive in a willow pheaton, she exclaimed: "Oh. mamma, look at is. I didn't know I was so near out of that woman In a clothes basket on bibles," . -.. wheeur Mrs. Cleveland has never lost her ad miration for her husband In the Joys of motherhood; although the birth of a son has filled the cup of happiness to overflowing for both parents. During a visit of one of Mrs. Cleve land's Washington friends to the Cleve lands' new home In Princeton, the mother proudly displayed the new boy to her guest. "But," said the visitor, in the course of conversation, 7 thought the boy was to be named for his father. The papers said so the day after he wan born." "No," replied Mrs. Cleveland, handing the baby back to his waiting nurse, and speaking in a matter-of-fact tone, "his name Is Richard Folsom. There was but one George Washington and there can be but one Grover Cleveland." J- r
