CHILDHOOD.

AS all observing people have taken
note. children are always curious to
know the nature of things. They see a
new object for the first time and they
are anxious to examine it, handle 1t,
pick it to pieces, perhaps, in order to
see what is inside, This curiosity is
indicative of the faculties most active
the senses, ideas of color, form, size,
weight. number, order, or arrange
ment; properties, such as hardness,
softness and the like. This knowl-
edge they grasp with wonderful eager
ness. as well as the names of things and
new words of all kinds. From this we
NAV conclude that language, both
written and oral, descriptions and mar
rations, are appropriate TO this age;
also. the mechanical operations OF
arithmetic, where little reasoning
mower is to be required; geography,
history and all studies which require
only knowledge of things and events
The mind at this period is not capable

PROCEEDINGS IN CONTEMPT.
Decision Reserved In the Cases of
l.. Il &. Wise.

An application was made to Justice
Lawrence. In Supreme Court Chambers.
to-day to punish Leo and Charles Wise
for contempt OF court.
Both the defendants were members of
the firm of l.. &and c. Wise, Il shoe
manufacturing firm which failed in
September, 1893. The firm had been In
operation for twenty-five years. and
after Its Incorporation In 1892 had a
capital stock of $3.50, 900.
The motion made to-day to punish the
Messrs. Wise grows out of their having
qualified as surities on bond for 81, 500,
which was executed to Herman j. Eddy,
OF 800 Broadway, in June, 1898. They
were examined at that time as to their
qualifications as surities, and both
claimed to be worth upwards of 1900
each over and above all debts.
During the same month in which they
qualified as surities 1t Is alleged that
| Leo Wise assigned his Interest In real
estate said to be worth $l25.OO0, to
Samuel Goldenberg. The assignment
was made to liquidate an alleged debt
of t64 900. II was charged by Lawyer
Gleason that Leopold Wise was guilty
of gross fraud and contempt of court
| in swearing falsely as to his debts. Ii
is further charged that Charles Wise
shortly after signing the jond, assigned

FAVORED BY JUDGE COMING.
He Also Wants Excise Cases Tried
in Special Sessions.

Judge Cowing's attention was drawn
this morning to the suggestion made by
District Attorney Fellows yesterday that
the Court of Special Sessions be en-
powered to hold jury trials for the pur-
pose of disposing of the thousands of
Excise cases which it Is impossible for
the General Sessions courts @ devote
time to.
81 am earnestly in favor Of such a
move" said Judge Cowing. Il am in
favor of having all misdemeanor cases
OF every description tried in the Court
of Special Sessions The Special SEES
sions Court should have power to sum
mon either common-law turtles OF twelve
men or statutory jures of six men to
try such cases. This power can only
be conferred by constitutional amend
ment, but II should be done.
p THE General Sessions courts have
enough to do in .rying felony cases. IT is
a waste of the peoples money and OF
valuable time to try small nsdemeanoI
cases in this court OF course, any sa-
loon-keeper may demand trial by jury
In such an event his case must under
