The Noise Di.,urb, ucr

Mrs. E. b. Smith, who lives at the Mount Yer
non flats, at Ninth Street and New York Ave
nue., recently complained to the District Com
missioners against the noise occasioned at night
by workmen along the line OF the Columbia
Railway on New York Avenue. The railway IS
being changed from cable to electric motive
power, and the noise about which complaint q
made results from the installation of the iron
conductor bars. which work can only be done at
night after the cable has ceased running. The
company is putting in about 1000 feet OF this
conductor bar each night, and the Commissioners
have informed the complainant that she will not
be hethered with the noise many more nights
The raiRay officials have been seen by the Com
missioners and have promised to accomplish the
work quietly as possible.

VOTE FOR WATER WORKS.
The Citizens of Takoma Decide {,
Issue Bonds.

Issue BOnus.
A special election was held at Takoma,
Nd. yesterday for the purpose of deter
mining whether the town shall bond itself
for the purpose of installing a system of
waterworks. The result was a clean victory
for the advocates Of the water works
proposition, 81 votes favoring and II op-
posing the project two-thirds vote was
necessary 10 decide the question.
AS a result of the election the town
council will take the necessary steps to
float the proposed bond issue, the proceeds
from which shall be used for that purpose.
Much enthusiasm was manifested last
night after the announcement OF the fact
that two-thirds vote had been secured.
A proposition to equip Takoma with
water works and sewerage system was
placed before the voters at a special cleo
tion held year ago last May. The move
ment was defeated at that time. Last
spring the common council reconsidered
the matter and went to the trouble of Sc
curing estimates for the work from num-
ber of engineers. 1t was decided to bring
the matter to the attention of the citizens
again, and a public meeting was held in
the town hall at Takoma last Monday
night 4 large number OF voters was
present and the details of the plan which
seemed TO be the most feasible one to the
council were explained. Renewed interest
was shown in the matter, and although
nothing was determined upon, it seemed
certain that the proposition in favor of es-
tablishing water works would carry. Ac-
cordingly an election was ordered for yes
terday and held. with the result above
mentioned.
According to the charter of Takoma the
corporation may issue bonds for an amount
not exceeding $4,000. In the plan which
the council submitted week ago it is pro-
posed to raise the money, TO be paid as
interest on the bonded debt, by means of
general taxation. One faction advocated
what is known as the front foot assess
ment' plan, but the councils plan was
favored by majority of the citizens.

How to Treat the Baby.

When mothers and nurses learn that
the new soul Of 4 little child is af-
fronted by even the softest Of earth
sounds, silence will reign in the nur-
sery and the stranger viii be left to
grow into the life about him without
the Notwithstanding noises which re-
suit I'm so many serious Affections to
sensitive children.
Constant handling and agitation are
as harmful to child as they would be
to a plant Of the most exquisite deli
cacy; and the fact that too much cod
ding is detrimental is apparent by
comparing the health Of an only dar-
fling with that Of any one in bakers
dozen, left to run about in frost and
sunshine, and play from dawn till
evening with no one to say, "DOn't'
from one end to the other Of the day.
Common sense should be the back
ground of every rule for the training
and care Of children. For the first
few years their only law of truth Of
department, of beauty is learned by
reflection. What you are your children
will be. If ! had my say about the
care of little ones l would let them be
mirrors of love; | would battle and
feed them ana then let them be as free
as the young Of wiser animals in Gods
sunshine aud fresh air. / would not
instruct them by so much as the alpha
Of knowledge until they had received
their full heritage Of health, and until
their minds had unfolded naturally for
the reception of the wisdom of books.
There are few things SO pitiful as a
precocious child The infant singer
and rccitationist strike terror and
anguish to my soul. Poor babies, to
be thrust into the dew-drying glare of
the world SO soon! Still, our limita-
tions must be considered, and as we
can not each have Il high-wallcd
cloyer-blooming ten-acre lot for our
child garden, we must have the kin
dergartcn school. But let us keep ii
in its first simplicity, lest by theoriz-
ing and fads we make ii a source OF
evil rather than of good.

The Chinese and Japanese call the
thumb 'the great finger" and connect
it with ones ancestors. Our index
finger is with them the "head or man.
pointing finger" and has to do with
the father. The middle or longest
finger belongs to the mother, while the
next or nameless finger is the prop
erty of sweethearts and wives (the
westerns have chosen this finger, too
for the wearing of the weddng-ring)
The little finger concerns or descend
ants and posterity.
The ball of the thumb, the celebra-
ted mount of Venus" according to
palmists the world over, from Lincoln
shire gypsies to Parsee seers, retains
its qualities appertaining to sensuous,
sensual, and mundane matters with
the Japanese hand-readers too.
Both Japanese and Chinese servants
in signing and sealing agreements with
their masters frequently moisten their
finger point with ink and press it on
to the paper. As a means of identity
or personal sign-manual these finger
prints appear to have been long known
in the east 1t is, therefore, no sur
prise to find that Japanese palmists
in addition to examining the Zines"
of the open palm, extend their inquiries
to the pore-patterns on the tips of the
fingers and thumbs.
