There was an entertainment given in the
town hall last night for the benefit oil the
Young Mems Free Reading Room and the
fund must have been greatly Increased

entertainment was advertised on almost
every unmovable object in town. Greatly
TO the surprise of some, the jokes cracked
last night were up to date and caused
much merriment especially those on the
town council and taxes by George
Barstow and William Shackleford. Miss
Pauline Buckminster acted as interlocu-
tor, and the way that those coons were
dressed was stunning. 1t showed that
money was of no value, and that yellow

TOO CLEVER CHILDREN.
When it is Best to Keep Back the
Little Ones-DOn't Let Them Use
Their Brains Too Much.

Never allow children to use their
brains too much. for if they do so the
result is often very serious. Some child
rem are naturally ambitious and will
strain every nerve, as it were, so that
they may have the honor and glory of
being at the top of their class in school.
and in this they are unwisely encour-
aged by their parents, whose vanity is
so great for their offspring that they
wish them to outshine their contem-
poraries, quite careless or obliViouS of
the fact that their undue precocity has
to be paid dearly for later on.
Many children, without being am
bilious, have an Unsuitable thirst for
knowledge, which is the result of an
abnormally developed brain. In these
cases. instead of being encouraged TO
learn. children should be kept back as
much as possible and encouraged to
play out of doors and to do everything
that will give the active little brain
rest. for you may depend upon it.
whether you wish it or not, the child
mind will work much harder than is
good for it, in asking the why and the
wherefore of all it sees around it in the
wonderful world.
1 have heard it said that blessed is
stupid baby and ! believe it is really
true. How seldom, though, is mother
content to have a baby without any
sort of little tricks to show off to her
friends. What a pleasure it is to her
to hear people say what a wonderfully
clever child hers is when at few
months old it can point to grandpapa's
picture on the WALL or can play pat
a-cake." or. later on. how susremely de-
lighted the parents are when their lit
tie girl or boy lisps out John Gilpin"
or some other nursery tale in verse.
Poor deluded people! Can they not see
that these performances are about on
the level with the tricks of a lap-dog,
or with the talking of a tame parrot.
and that in order to crafty their par
entail vanity the child's mental capa-
city is being overtaxed and weakened ?
1t seems to me positively wicked to
force the brains Of infants, and if
had my will no child should be made
to learn even the alphabet till it was
at least years old. In the first years
of life a child has quite enough to oc-
cupy its brain in learning about the
things it sees around. Take care, then.
not to let the mental growth get ahead
of the physical or your child will be
handicapped in later life by weakness
of either body or brain. or perhaps

As to the "artifciality'' of the canals.
he argues that the people who inhabit
Mars ought to be gigantic, because
there the lessened force of gravity
(only about a third as great as on the
earth) enlarges for all animals the
limit of advantageous size and more
over makes a giants labor three times
as effective as it would be on the earth:
so that, as a canal-maker, one Marian
might be equivalent to hundred
Italians. Then, too, since his world Is
probably much older than our own, he
may already have all the knowledge
and appliances that human engineers
will acquire in the distant future.
Against all which, to mention moth
ing else, stands the fundamental doubt
whether so small a globe as Mars. with
so rare an atmosphere, and receiving
from the sun only one-half as much
heat to each square mile as does the
earth, cam possibly maintain anywhere
a temperature even as high as that
which prevails on the SUBMITS of our
loftiest mountains; whether, in fact.
the polar-caps are made of frozen wa
ter or of some very different substance.

Mrs. Kelsey Not Heard From.

In reference to the dispatch from
Denver which appeared exclusively in
The Herald of yesterday stating that
Mrs. Kelsey had said she would not
accept the $500 alimony, provided for
in the decree of divorce granted her
against her husband. Lewis P. Kelsey,
and that she would demand half his
estate. Mr.. Narian yesterday said he
knew nothing about the matter fur
Their than what appeared in the paper.
He, however, presumed that he would
have a letter from Mrs. Kelsey in the
course of a few DAYS. There is little
doubt thai she agreed TO the terms
on which the divorce was granted,
and it is thought that her change Of
attitude is-,owing to the persuasion of
friends and relatives with whom she
went to STAY at Denver when she left
this city a week ago.

GRAVITY SEWER.
Matters Considered BY the Board Of
Public Works.

The sewer committee held a meet
ing again last night, but about the
only thing decided upon was that the
committee should accompany the
members Of the board of public works
On a last tour of inspection of the
gravity sewer. which has been such a
complex problem to the present out
going officials.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made to
nave CITY water turned into the sewer
to depth Of two feet, and accurate
measurements will be taken to deter
mine the velocity Of the current AT
the last test made the volume of wa
ter was so small that it required five
hours for the water to run from the
gate at City creek to the mouth of the
tunnel. The engineers are confident
of obtaining a better result this time.
The question of securing an outlet
into the Jordan river was discussed,
but is this was the last meeting of
the present members. nothing definite
was agreed upon. 1t was generally
understood. however. that condemna-
ton proceedings should not be insti-
tuted in order to secure a right of way
for the conduit. There were several
other propositions under considera-
ton. One was to purchase land and
farm out the sewage; another to pur-
chase q right of way and construct
catches. In this manner all obnoxious
effects would be entirely done away
with and the sewage reaching the
river would be practically as pure as
water.

MIR. LowELDs THEORY OF MARS

Although the planet has practically
withdrawn from observation for
time, the popular interest in it has by
no means disappeared, but has been
maintained, and perhaps even in
creased, by the bold speculations of
Mr.. Lowell, presented last season in
his captivating lectures, and since then
in his charming papers published in
the Atlantic Monthly.
The observations of 1894 have made
it practically certain that the so-called
canals are real, whatever may be
their explanations; and that great
changes in their appearance, and in
that of other more conspicuous fea-
lures of the planets surface, followed
progressively as the white cap at the
southern pole of Mars waned and van
ished. The spectroscopic observations
of Campbell also proved that the
planets atmosphere must be very rare
as compared with ours, and not heavily
charged with Water-vapor. So much is
fairly ascertained
Mr.. Lowell goes much farther. For
him the pole-cap is surely snow or ice,
and its disappearance is due to I'M
questionable melting. Since the tele-
peaks and ranges, he concludes, more
over, that the planets surface is prac-
tically one dead level, over which the
waters from the melting ice-cap find
their way to the equatorial regions,
carrying fertility with them; the dark
regions Of the southern hemisphere, in
his view, are not seas" as hitherto
supposed and as their names imply,
but lands covered with forests or other
forms of vegetation, while the rudy
northern regions are. barren deserts
perhaps, if the writer may be allowed
to add a suggestion of his own, old
ocean bottoms, depressed below the
general level like the Caspian, or the
basin of Sahara. In Mr.. Lowells judg-
ment, the Canals mark real water
courses, and these he believes to be
artificial because of their perfect
straightness and evenness, and the de-
sign apparent in the way their numer-
Gus intersections are arranged. When
the life-giving water reaches these
channels, vegetation springs UP on
either side, and especially at their
functions, where the round, dark spots
formerly called lakes are by him
transformed into "oases." 1t is the
vegetation that we see-not the water
