Parents do not realize the physical
wear and tear that accompany premature
development of the brain; and the un-
due tax upon the nervous and vital
forces, when child engages in the occu-
pations and amusements of grown per-
son, leaves it, in maturer years. low in
physical resources just when it has most
call upon them. To follow this vast and
important subject leads one easily
far afield. There has been a
great deal of theorizing upon it,
some of it valuable, indeed, yet one
would think that observation and reflec-
tion might tell any reasonably sensible
parent all he needs to know. One would
think SO; yet my fellow creatures scarce
ly ever appear to me so fallible as in
their parental characters.-[ Atlantic

ABOUT SESSIONS OF THE LEGIsLA-
fURE.
We notice that some Of our esteemed
contemporaries arc at il again telling
Tie members Of the Legislature that two
weeks time is sufficient to do Il the
busins@ necessary to be done. II each
msnber vas willing to Let ono OF Two
msn prepare the business which il to be
transacted and take the 1word'1 those
one o. two members that Il va all right
the issialature probably could ct
through its business and adjourn In two
weeks. Fortunately or unfortunately
land We think the former) mankind Is
90 constituted that the average man is
not willing to leave his duties to others
to perform. A member introduces Q
bill, which in his opinion 10 Just what Il
should be. This bill is read three times
on three separate days and then referred
to the proper committee. At the end Of
five days that committees after looking
it over carefully, makes fts report, with
such recommendations as it believes to
be for the best interests of the state.
The bill is then printed and laid upon
the tables OF the members and goes into
the calendar under the head Of General
Orders" To get the bill into this shape
usually takes from two to three weeks.
When the house gets ready to 60 into
committee of the whole on General
Orders" for the consideration of bills on
the calendar this bill, If it is the first one
on the calendar, comes up for debate.
II it is an important measure there are
usually an average OF twenty members
who desire to move amendments to or
strike out the measure. After the de-
bate, which may extend through q week.
il majority of the committee of the
whole think it ought to be passed, q
recommendation to that effect is made
to the house. The bill is then ordered
to be enrolled for third reading and
in the course of three or four days, with
good luck, if carefully watched, it may
be ready to be voted upon on it's final
passage. It takes sixty three votes to
pass any measure at this stage. If the
reader can realize that there are 125
members of the lower house, every one
of whom will desire to introduce an av-
erage of say ten bills, there will be before
that body 1880 bills that require some
action. With this in view the talk about
adjourning in two weeks is simply pre-
posterons. F. p. Baker in Topeka

APPOINTMENTS TO FEDERAL Pc
SITIONS

sITIONs.
A good deal of inquiry is being made
as to the course which will be pursued
by General Harrison, after he is insug-
urated, as to the appointment of federal
officers. Petitions are already being cir
oulsted asking for the appointment Of
this or that man to Office. We will give
our views as to the course which will be
pursued, and leave it for time to show
whether We prognosticate Alright or
not. Those who suppose that Mr.. Har-
rison will make clean sweep at once
after his inauguration, will find them.
selves mistaken. 1t is simply impossi-
BILE for him to do it, and transact Alright
the other duties of his position. We
may think as We choose about Mr..
Cleveland's acts as president, there can
be no doubt that he did his party and
the country at large, q great benefit by
the course he pursued during the first
half of his term, SO far as the federal
patronage was concerned. We mean by
THE, his general fcourse on that subject.
He failed in this sometimes, but as q
rule he did we'll. We have no doubt
that General Harrison will do as Mr..
Cleveland did. In the first place, Ct
course, his cabinet will be selected, and
as soon as it can be brought about, with
due regard to all the circumstances,
there will be changes in heads CT de-
partments at Washington. and in the min
listers to foreign governments. As fast
as the commissions of postmasters ard
others whose positions are for definite
term expire, republicans will be ap-
pointed in their places. To adopt any
other course would disgust the great
mas of the people Of all parties and be
injurious to the public service. It is
not unlikely that this rule will be, to
some extent, departed from in the case
OF postal clerks. That the postal service
is in q rotten condition is unlvers-
ally conceded, and much of thst rot
tenness is due to the discharge of tried
clerks, and the putting in OF green and
incompetent men. This must be rene
