Fond parents us everybody knowa,
are much In the habit of imagining
that their childreu uro cleverer and
brighter than evor children wore alnco
the world begun. Other people may
And the children tiresome and dia-
agrecable, but in the eyes of doting
parents titey tire without u peer, and
their Buying* and doings are related
with infinite relixh whenever anybody
can bo found who has leisure and pa-
tience to listen.
Precocious children fortunately for
themselves and for the race, are the
exception rather than the rule. A
normal child, healthy and sturdy, is
seldom precocious. Of course, there
are on record notable instances of
children who manifested remarkable
traits and extraordinary Intelligence
at a very early age, and some of them
did not belle their infant promise.
Lord Macauley is a case in point
When he was somewhere near the
milestone of his fourth birthday, he
read incessantly and lying on the
hearth rug. at full length, with face
intent on a book, he heard little that
was going on around him. On one oc-
casion, having the misfortune to be
badly burned, this unchild-llke child
remarked, to n sympathizing friend
that the agony was extreme. Yet
Macauley grew up to be not merely an
eminent historian and man of letters,
but a man of universal knowledge, of
profound public spirit, and of notable
loyalty to kith and kin. Though a
prig in childhood, he was not a pedant
in muturity.
Of Robert Murray McCheyne, a fa-
mous Scotch clergyman, it is grave y
set down by his biographer, that he
had mastered the Greek alphabet at
the age of three. I myself have a
friend, a woman of brilliant powers
and varied scholarship, who was
taught to read Hebrew by a very
learned father before she was allowed
to leara English, so that as a little
thing of six she read the Hebrew
Scriptures, while she did not yet know
the English alphabet. Her early pre-
cocity did her no harm.
Generally speaking, considering the

quaintances. Pond mothefo little

amusement they awake in the minds
of their social circle. "Here come*

her pet topic.
What becomes flnnlly of all th* In-
fant phenomena? Some of them, no
doubt, All early graves, others break

Into the ranks and are never beard of
more. The vast majority ceasing to
be precocious, eventually tu'ie their
places with the average people around
us, do their work, and get through it
with credit, their childish successes
entirely forgotten.
Well for them if their beginnings
have not been too widely exploited.
Child-preachers who declaim eloquent-
ly before gaping crowds, are to be
pitied, not praised. Child actors and
musicians are forced to play and act
at an age whon they should rtill be In
the nursery. Those who manage
them and those who pay to watch
them, seeming Insensible to their
cruelty. Child-poets whose little
verses are printed with admiring com-
ments, their full name, age and p'ace
of residence given to the public, are
thrust out of the sweet retirement to
which childtood Is entitled and are
apt in later years to suffer from criti-
cism and from a sort of puzzled sur-
prised that their maturity has not
equalled their childish genius. Fruit
out of season in the realm of mentality
is not worth much to anyone.
If God sends a bright and clever
child into a household, give God
thanks, but for the sake of all the fu-
ture, do not push that child too rapid-
ly onward. Who that ever read Dom-
bey and Son can forget the heart-
breaking picture of little Paul Dom-
bey, the fond hope of his pompous
parent, dying by inches in the forcing
atmosphere of Dr. Bomber's school.
"Bring him on. Cornelia," said the
pedagogue, over and over. And little
Paul was brought on, until the kindly
Angel of Death snatched him away
from the hands of the fools who knew
so little how to educate a child of his
delicacy and sensitiveness.
It may be that the father and moth-
er of a precocious child do not under-
stand the risks they run until some
danger signal startles them. A maga-
zine story not long ago. gave an Illus-
tration of a cbild, motherless and In

took delight in preparing his boy for
college, while he was still not much
beyond his tenth or eleventh year.

sound body, it is not worth whlla to
push children forward intellectually at
the possible expense of future health
and vigor. The brain if unfairly
treated may develop so rapidly that its
power of assimilation will be eany
exhausted and the wonderfully bril-
liant child become in later life medi-
ocre, dull and commonplace. The boy
and girl who make a clean sweep of
all the prizes in sight during school
days, are ottea never heard of again.
Some of our most conspicuous states-
men, authors and commanders, on sea
and laud, made no show whatever
during the days of their training, and
were graduated in the lowest ranks cf
their class.
A besetting sin of American parents
la an almost insane ambition in be-
half of cniidren and a desire to push
the children as fast as they can out of
childhood's quiet round into the tur-
moil of the arena. Little people are
hurried from the craule to the kinder-
garten, from the kindergarten to the
primary and so on through the sev-
eral grades, and frequently to the dis-
advantage of the children. I heard
the other day of a young doctor who
matriculated at the medical school
when he was just 16, an age at which
no youth is fit to undertake the seri-
ous study of medicine, and indeed at
which few boys are sufficiently ma-
tured to enter college.
We are in frantic haste to get our
boys and gins where they may either
earn their own livelihood, or in some
way compete with others who are
breadwinners In the crowded market-
places of the land.
A precocious child is very likely to
hear so much about his talents and
his attainments that he will look
down condescendingly on the neigh-
bor who is not nearly so far advanced
and still has a pronounced liking for
marbles, kites, balls and robust games.
A boy ought to know how to play.
Play is far more worth while for him
than work in the first ten years of life.
One great advantage of athletic
pports, of football, baseball and basket-
ball, lies in the fact that the sturdi-
ness and pluck they demand, prolong
the play-time of the youth. The nre-
cocious child is seldom or never a
good catcher or pitcher or quarter-
back or half-back; he is pn the con-
trary, likely to survey with disdain
the boyish pride taken by athletes In
their triumphs, and to consider the
time spent in the open air rather a
waste than the opposite. His energies
•re bent on acquiring more and still
more culture from the world of litera-
ture. Often one sees the strange
anomoly when such a youth has
Srown up, of a man whose information
1* prodigious, while his knowledge of
available tools Is academic. In other
words, It Is not the youth who has
made the most rapid strides during his
training who has the requisite staying
power to hold on and do well in the
rougher realities of every-day exist-
the child's life and future were saved
through the process of suffering and a
forgetting all he had ever acquired. It
was a toss-up between life and death,
not only, but death and idiocy, and
when the child came out of his stupor
sane, and recognized his father, the
rough doctor bluntly said to the lat-
ter, "Luck's your way, Jim," and if
was.

Loss of Sleep.
According to experiments made by
an eminent Germpn scientist seven
hours of sleep is the minimum amount
required by the average person. Fast-
ing he found had a much less injurious
effect than loss of sleep, and the reduc-
tion of the usual period of sleep by
three hours diminishes the power of
the memory by one-half.

man could bring into use, in any
neighborhood, on occusion.
"In this advanced ago throwing bot-
tles and bootjacks and old *hoe* at
the offondltiti cats seem* a crude and
tiUMdentlllc method und thon It I* in-
effectual. Why, I huvo known a cat
to be hit square In the midriff and
actually knocked off a fenc« by a large
and ln uvv and fairly thrown Hessian
—or It might havo boon a Wellington
—boot and not only to escnpc being
annihilated or even silenced by the
same, but evpn to emit at tho Instant

had given vent before. Recovering
Itself from the ground and scrambling
up on the fence again. It gave forth
long, waving, ear-piercing, blood-cur-
dling, hair-raising screams, to which
all previous screams seumed but a*
the gentle murmuring of a lute.
"No. You see, the cats have got
so used to boots and bottlos and boot-
jacks and bricks—singular, sort of,
Isn't it, thnt all the things wo throw
at. cats begin with the same letter, the
letter 'b?' Ever think of thnt?—have
got so used to them that they pay no
attention to them whatever unless
they are actually hit, and how often
does that happen?
"I forget how many tons of lead It
takes actually to kill a soldier In bat-
tle, and the proportion of misses to
hits Is about the same—larger prob-
ably, really—In throwing things at
cats. Think of the frightful waste of
ammunition In this warfare and then
consider that In this war on cats when
we do hit the mark it only makes the
cat scream the louder!
"Oh, my, no! Hottles, bootjacks,
boots and bricks are more than me-
diaeval, they are positively ancient
and worse than useless as a means of
warfare on howling cats. True, we
derive a certain satisfaction from
hurling these missiles, but that Is the
only result; they do no good, and
what we'really want now Is some
thing effective.
There is the cat guard, composed
of strips of wood with long, sharp
spikes sticking up through, which wo
nail on the top3 of fences to keep cats
away, a good thing as far as it goes,
but there's the rub; it doesn't go far
enough. We live for a year in one
neighborhood where everybody
around puts cat guards on his fences
and where we hear no cats, but then
we may move to some other neighboi-
hood where nobody puts up cat guardx
and the cats reign supreme.
"I won't attempt to describe to you
fheir wild wailings and sweeping
screams.- I couldn't, for that matter,
if 1 tried. And why should I anyway,
when we—that is to say, the people
living in the block around this range
of back yards—are here to suffer?
When that midnight—or it may be 1
or 1:30 a. m.—concert begins, the
whole block wakes and shudders and
then gets mad and some dwellers
there are around that try to stop It.
"I hear a window go up somewhere
£nd I know that somebody is sticking
his head out, and then I hear him
faying to the cats as fiercely as he
can between his clinched teeth: 'Ssst!
sssst! sssst!' but oven in my anguish
this always makes me laugh, for you
might as well try to stop a comet ly
slssing at it, and, in fact, I think it
makes the cats laugh, too.
"Then pretty soon, the cats keep-
fng on howling, we hear something
slam against the fence with an old-
time, familiar clatter—it sounds like
a boot or a brush or a bottle, thrown
probably by some old man sticking
to old-time ways, but as far as pro-
ducing results is concerned, it might
as well have been thrown up in the
air. And then—
" 'Gerzoom!'
"That sounded as if it might have
teen a chair or a table or even a re
frigerator or something like that, for
it struck the fence with a mighty
ciash and shook every cat off to the
ground, and then for a brief space
there was silence, but a minute later
they were all up again, screaming
their weird, wailing, waving scream
louder than ever.
"And then somewhere down the
block—bless you, my brother, I'd like
to laiow you and shake you by the
hand—there is a man who fires a gun
—it may be only a pistol, but it
sounds like a gun—to frighten the
cats.
"It's singular about the effect of
that gun—sometimes the cats only
howl the louder when they hear It,
but sometimes at the report they stop.
And that has suggested to my next
door neighbor, a somewhat sanguin-
ary man, that we might rig up a gat-
ling gun in the yard or a mitrailleuse
or something of that sort, where It
would sweep the fence tops and so
actually rid these yards of cat* for-
ever, but when we came to think this
over seriously, reflecting that maybe
the maker of the cannon could give
no guaranty about where the bullets
would stop, we reluctantly gave thi?
up.
"So now we are practically right
where we were, with the cat* still
howling. And is there no Inventor who
can rise to this occasion, and not for
our benefit alone, but for the benefit
of all and to hi* own great profit as
well devise something that will stop
cat8 bowi ng nights?"—Chicago Cbroiv

Atmcspherle Poisoning.
The protests against the automo.
bile omnibuses of London huvo re-
ceived a powerful reenforcemont by
a declaration of Sir Jaiuos Dewar on
the chemical basis. He Is undoubted-
ly among the high chemical authori-
ties of the world, and his condmuna<
tlon of the motor busuB and freight
vans seems conclusive unless Inven-
tion provides Innocuous motive power.
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline In
these motors throws off vast quuntl
ties of noxious gases. Some of those
am absolutely poisonous and all In-
jurious. He holds thut the air of Lon-
don 1s bad enough already without
tho addition of carbonic acid gas, the
sulphurous gases, and, worst of ull,
the asphyxiating carbonic oxide.
Moreover, while ho admits that sci-
ence can Improve motors, he declares
that It Is impossible for it to burn pe-
trol arid render the resulting gases
innocuous.

Cruising for Derelicts.
The excellent work In destroying a
dangerous derelict last week, begun
by the Tacoma and completed by tho
Columbia, gives renewed point to the
suggestion hitherto made in these
columns that vessels of the navies of
the world might with peculiar profit
be employed in tracking and destroy-
ing the abandoned hulks which dot
the seas and which present one of the
one of the most serious dangers to
navigation, says the New York Trib-
une. Of the need that derelicts sha.
be destroyed as speedily as possible
thore can be no question. Many
known accidents and disasters have
been due to them, and there is rea-
son for supposing that .many, perhaps
most, of tho m; sterious disappear-
ances of vessels might truly be ex-
plained on the ground that they had
come into collision with those wan-
dering destroyers Carrying no lights,
making no noise, giving no signal of
any kind, often lying so low in the
water as to be scarcely perceptible,
and heavy and solid almost against
which a vessel can scarcely be guard-
ed In the dark *nd collision with
which is always serious and often
disastrous.
Troubles of an Author.
Robert Louis Stevenson's mother
wrote In one of her letters from Sa-
moa: "The people here are now dis-
covering that Louis writes, as 'The
Bottle-Imp' is coming out in the na-
tive paper, having been translated by
Mr. C . It is much appreciated,
but leads to some curious results. For
instance, the house In It somewhat re-
sembles ours, and a good many of the
natives suspect that Mr. Stevenson
has the 'bottle' himself."
"Pugs" Ordered from Seattle.
The chief of police of Seattle, be-
lieving that prize fighters bring crim-
inals and other undesirables in their
train, has ordered all pugilists, train-
ers and others connected with the
ring to leave the city or take up socio
respectable employment.
GOOD AND HARD.
Result* of Excessive Coffee Drinking.
It Is remarkable what suffering
some persons put up with just to sat-
isfy an appetite for something.
A Mich, woman says: "I had been
using coffee since I was old enough to
have a cup of my own at the table,
and from it I havo suffered agony
hundreds of times in the year3 past.
"My trouble first began in the form
of bilious colic, coming on every few
weeks and almost ending my life. At
every attack for 8 years I suffered in
this way. I used to pray for death to
relieve me from my suffering. I had
also attacks of sick headache, and be-
gan to suffer from catarrh of the stom-
ach, and of course awful dyspepsia.
"For about a year I lived on crack-
ers and water. Believing that coffee
was the cause of all this suffering, I
finally quit It and began to use
Postum Food Coffee, it agreed with
my stomach, my troubles have left
me and I am fast gaining my health
under It* use.
"No wonder I condemn coffee and
tea. No one could be in a much more
critical condition than I was from
the use of coffee. Some doctors pro-
nounced It cancer, others ulceration,
but none gave me any relief. But
since I stopped coffee and began Pos-
tum I am getting well so fast I can
heartily recommend it for all who
suffer as I did." Name given by
