Have Patience with tho Questions and
tho Noise OF Children.
Have patience with
Tho questions Of childhood
Here is n child to whose recently
opened eyes and active senses q world
is exposed, but not ono OF the manifold
wonders before 1t can understand. Ed
u~cation must, therefore, guide and ex-
plain observation. This begins very
early; long, indeed. before the first Of
forts at speech. The aimless thrust
ing out Of a limb, by contact with
some external object, excites u double
sensations; that OF muscular action and
TINT OF the external object; and tho
two. In future, suggest one another.
h lips and tongue may be said to DO
the first inlets OF knowledge. in that
they arc tho first vehicles OF sensn-
ton. As it Is natural for n child to
carry all objects Of which it wishes to
form q judgment to its mouth, It in
this way receives Impressions not TO
open It Tho great limitations Of It's
knowledge, Mt this time, may DO In
ferred from tho fact that 1t Ia very
long before It can locate tho sensa-
ton OF pain. II u pin gets askew and
pricks tho delicate skin, It makes no
attempt to cry out Through such
considerations rs these we may UNDER
stand tho mental position Of tho child
as it develops. In regard to external
nature With tho gift OF speech tho
urgent desire for knowledge breaks
into tho vo bal expression. Happy Is
that mothor who, approaching her
mission rs tho one divinely COM
missioncd to guido this little one,
secs In tho enger questioning nothing
but n desire TINT urges the child on 10
spite OF himself. It Is a healthful i'm
pulse. but one that a DO checked by
petulance, irritablllty and indifior-
onco.
Have patience then with
The noise Of children.
1t Is unreasonable TO expect children
TO cease importunnto questioning; II
Is quito as much, II not moro so, &c
ask them to keep their restless bodie,
quiet Development and growth
como through exercise. Muscles TO
grow must, therefore,, be used, and
tho stimulus 70 this is constant In

The knights orPxthias.

Tho Thanksgiving ball given by
the above named Order at Castle
Hall last night vas the most brilliant
social event that has taken place in
Elko for many months. The Hall
was beautifully and Hastily decorated,
the warlike implements OF the
knights being q prominent feature.

with the grand march, in which about
thirty couples participated, which
closed with n quadrille composed OF
eight sets, and it was frequently re-
marked that the audience was too
large for the size Of the Hall, there
beng between forty and fifty couples
in attendance.
At midnight an adjournment was
taken to the Depot Hotel where a
splendid supper was served which

expression that the X. of p. Thanks
giving ball was n decided success.
Quite a number Of ladies' and
gentlemen participated who are not

OF violin, v%iollncello and pinno, was
excellent, which is an essential feature
OF n pleasant and successful ball.

A PROPHECY FULFILLED.

At railroad meeting held at the
town hall in this place in 1866 or
81, the late Hon Bliss n Davis of
Danville said that when the propos-
ed roads were completed, St. Johns
bury would be on the direct line be
tween Liverpool and China, and that
tea from Yokohama would be laid
down in this place via Puget sound
and the great railways of the North
west. 1t was thought then to be a
very pleasant flight of fancy in Mr.
Davis, but events have proved him
a prophet, though not exactly on the
line of railway which he was advo-
eating. Solid passenger and freight
trains now run through St. Johns
bury between Boston and the North
west, via Montreal and the Canadi-
an Pacific road. A few nights ago
twelve carloads of cotton goods
from Liverpool passed through here
billed for Shanghai, China. Later a
train consisting of 26 cars of hav
from Minneapolis passed through
this place en- route to Boston, and a
carload of electrical machinery,
bound for the Sandwich Islands,
passed In the opposite direction not
many days since. Surely the ends OF
the earth meet.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1889-02-07

of the last 80 years showed that this
town had a smaller per cent of zy-
motto and tubercular diseases than
any town of its size in the state.
These statistics are imperfect but if
they were perfect the per cent of
hea1thfulness would show greater in
our favor.
Dr. Browne said he could corrobo-
rate these statistics and that all the
medical profession were unanimous
in their desire to have the asylum To-
Gated here The health considera-
tions are all in favor of St. Johnsbury
as the place for the new asylum.
Charles Wilson of Danville said
when he first read the provisions of
the bill the thought occurred to him
that St. Johnsbury was the place for
the asylum. He was still of the
same opinion and hoped that this
section of the state would at last be
recognized. The Peabody farm was
a most desirable site as the commits
sioners will realize when they see it.
DR.. Billiard said that knowing the
generosity of the people of st. Johns
bury he would request the commits
sioners to give us a chance to offer
them site before they finally locat-
ed the asylum.
Mr.. Ide informed the commission
ers that several of our citizens could
not be present tonight but were
strongly in favor of having the asy
lum here. Among this number were
Judge Ross, Senator Bates and Col
Franklin Fairbanks. Mr.. Ide then
gave notice that the rest of the even
ing would be spent in visiting with
the individual members of the board.
Accordingly a number of our citizens
remained and enjoyed a delightful
visit with their distinguished guests.
The commissioners accompanied
by Z. d. Hazen, Drs. Browne and
Stiles and DIR. Johnson of West Con
cord spent Tuesday morning looking
at the proposed sites. The Russell
place, the Ross place, the Hiram
Weeks place and the Peabody farm
were visited and careful inspection
made at each place. The commits
sioners seemed to be satisfied that as
far as sites were concerned st. Johns
bury could make as good a showing
as any town in the state. The COM
mission left for Morrisville Tuesday
afternoon.

A BRIEF COLD SNAP.

Northern New England was visit
ed by cold wave Sunday night that
came on very rapidly and departed
almost as quickly as it came. Sun
day evening the mercury was Z be-
low zero and the next morning it
ranged from "a to 40 below zero, the
latter figure being recorded at the
Centre. Bingham thermometer in
dicated $50 and one in Fairbanks
village early in the morning 80 be-
low. At noon the mercury vibrated
around zero and the the indications
for another cold snap were remark
ably good. But unfortunately for
the plumbers the weather moderat-
ed and on Tuesday morning there
was a difference of about 40 degrees
in the temperature as compared with
the previous morning. Since Mon
day morning the weather has been
very mild and a little more snow has
fallen
