They Suggest the CeaseIesa Activity of the
Youthful Minds.
MANY of his questions cannot be con-
nected with his reading, but appears
to result from reasoning or a recog-
nized analogy. "How do plants make
themselves bigger when they grow?''
he asked when we were talking about
plant ting his garden. heard him say
ing to himself: "Wfldness, Witness"
l asked him what he WA talking about,
and he replied: about plants that
are not wild What are they calledY'
Garden or cultivated plants" 1 an
swered. what made you say Wild
less?'' "Why," said be, Il knew that
harmless means something that
wouldn't do any harm and so wildless
means plants that are not wild" He
mentioned the fall aud / asked him
what he meant by fall He replied
1.-The winter at first; the first of L.
Do they call it fall because everything
is falling?"
There was some talk about dressing
him or putting on his dress, and, reas-
oning from analogy, he asked: when
God puts the skin on people is that
skinning them?" l once heard of the
people in the moon being like grass
hoppers and told him about it. When
/ had finished the story he said=
"When we look up to the sky, we see
the moon rolling on above Us, and
when the people in the moon look up
in the sky they see the earth rolling
along above them. What is the
strange puzzle about that?' 1 told
him that his specimen of mica was
silicate of potash, and he asked: why
is mica silicate of potash-because they
put ashes in pot2''
These questions have been recorded
to represent an innumerable number
of unrecorded and to show the wide
range of thought and the variety of
reasonings that child under six years
of age may have. They show his nat
ural method of acquiring knowledge,
but they can only suggest the ceaseless
activity of his mind during all his
waking hours. - Popular Science

The Merry World.

One of the largest audiences that
have ever greeted theatre company
in DEBORAH gathered at the Grand last
night to listen to the "Merry World"
Before the curtain rose the house was
packed full, and not one was disapolnt-
ed in the show. From start to finish it
was succession of side-splitting
characterizations, which kept the
audience in an uproar continually. 1t
is a review of all the leading successes
of the present season, and comprises
about fifty stage artists, most of them
being among the foremost actors of the
country. The "Merry World" is the
successor of the passing Show"
which had such popular run last year,
and is destined to outstrip its predecess-
or. Everyone was delighted with the
theatre from beginning to end and
pronounced it one of the best shows
that have ever visited DEBORAH.

FROM THE SUNNY SOUTH.
A Letter From E. c. Shaw and E. S.
Rice, who are frustrating in the
Wilds of Mississippi.

Ocean Springs, Miss, Feb. 25, 1896.
EDITORS PUBLIC OPINION:
AS l promised you few words about
the South will endeavor to tell you
what Mr.. Rice and L have seen since
we left DEBORAH. We arrived at Bur-
lington and LSt. Louis on time via the
great Cedar Rapids Route" At St.
Louis we spent several hours taking in
the sights of that great city. We de-
parted via the Louisville & Nashville
Ry. and arrived at Birmingham on
time. We spent several hours in that
great city. Iron furnaces are located
here and we saw several blasts ran off
The country around the city is abund-
antly rich in iron and coal. We
stopped off alta new town by the name
of Atmore, situated i'm the state of Ala
bama on the l.. & n. Ry, about A
miles north Of Mobile, Alabama. At
more is situated about $50 feet
above the level of the sea, has clay
sub-soil and think is one of the most
promising places we passed through.
By 1900 we predict city of at least
5000 souls. At Atmore we were hand
somely entertained and shown around
the town and country by Mr.. f. w.
Green, of the Balsmyder-G Col
ony Co., who are the authorized gen.
eral agents of the l.. e.. n. r. r. Co. at
Atmore. Alabama is great state.
but of all of it we like the southern
part Of the state the best, especially
around Atmore. Here we found ex-
cellent water, peach trees in bloom,
pear trees budding and some vegeta-
bles growing, something we had never
seen in February before; also plucked
wild flowers in the woods. We next
stopped at Mobile, where we first
stepped aboard ships laden with fruit
from Italy and South America. We
arrived at Ocean Springs, Miss. safe
and sound Feb. 18th. / found my
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. J. b.
Shaw, enjoying good health. We at
tended the Mardi Gras at New Orleans
and got tired out. Now we are actu-
ally doing nothing but eating, sleeping
and catching oysters and fish. We
are going riding now in sunshine OF
20 degrees. Yours truly,
f. &. SHAW.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings on his travels in Europe. He
is a very able young man, and has had
superior advantages in seeing the Eur
opean continent, and gives his audien-
ces a course of lectures that are highly
satisfactory. He uses stereopticon
views to illustrate, and together with a
description of his travels and of the
political and social customs of the diff
ferent peoples, he interests his audiences
to an exceptional degree. He spoke to
crowded houses every night, being
some of the largest audiences that have
