all such collections trash and rub
bish," while the innocent and broken.
hearted collector was invited to burn
or throw away what had cost so many
days of thought and effort. Many q
career Of usefulness along some par
ticular line was thus nipped in the
bud.
Now the mania among children il
encouraged and the kindergarten ides
of acquiring learning through play i:
responsible for the wider knowledge
that obtains among children, who are
thus urged to make collections o
shells, stamps, seaweed, leaves, mine
rails, bugs, butterflies, or any of the
thousand and one things of interes,
along this line.
Another fad, or rather custom
among children is the observance of 9
peculiar season" for certain games
Boys have a certain time called "tor
time," another called marble time,
and still another for kites, humble
peg and baseball. Girls observs
"skipping-rope time," Jack time
and "bean bag time." 1t is rarely
that child plays any of these games
outside of the regular season, and the
child is frowned upon by its "know
better" companions who is caught do
ing it. Many of the games and plays
of childhood are in season at all
times, such as pussy -wants-a-corner
blind man, London bridge, hide-and
seek and others of like kind. Blu,
shame upon the child who plays jacks
when it should be jumping the rope!
That there is q language OF child.
hood goes without question. Many
children talk to each other almost
wholly in dog latin, language formed
by dropping the first letter of every
word and adding to it the end of the
same word in addition to the syllable
"ay." For instance. box becomes OK
bay, cat become atcay, brother be.
comes rotherbay, etc. There are seve
raj other forms of dog latin, but the,
are usually based upon this simple ar
rangement. And this leads us to no
tice the oddity of the jargon jingles
that children use in counting out
games. Where they originated no
body can tell. There is, for instance
Ena. mena, nina mo,
Crack fena, fina 70;
Ommanuga, popatuga,
Rick. bick, bando.
Then again:
Onery, oery, ickery Ann,
Philison. phelison, Nicholas, John,
Queevy. quasvy, English navy,
Stinklum, stanklum. Buck
And once again:
Onery. dory, dickery. Davy,
Hirobo, crackabo, tenorolavy,
Whisky drinker, American time.
Humbledy, Bumbledy. ninety nine.
As language these are worse than
Volapuk!
The above examples are but few ol
the oddities Of childhood, but they
serve to show how the idiosyncrasies
of the child are but step this side oI
the fashionable fads of the adult and
how the one may merge into the
other with scarcely any line of de-

Recorder w l.. Connell and the
board of city assessors met yesterday
to discuss the making up of the coming
assessment. which work the board is
about to take up.
The recorders first words TO them
were that he expected them to make
the entire assessment together. This
was not pleasant news for the asses
sors as they had arranged to divide the
city up into districts and have one as
SCISSOR do the assessing for given dis
triCt
The recorder explained that such a
system would defeat the object of hav-
ing a board, since il would place the
valuation of property at the mercy of
individual judgment. lie was desirous.
he said, of having an assessment made
that will be correct as well as fair and
equitable and to this end thought they
ought to have the combined judgment
OF the members of the board.
Nearly all of the afternoon was spent
by the board in consultation with City
Solicitor Watson about the different
features of the act of 1897 with refer
ence to making assessments in cities
of the second class.
The assessors contemplate all kinds
| OF bother in classifying property the
| act stating that ii shall be assessed
respectively as first class, suburban
and agricultural. Just where to draw
| the lines between the different kinds
of property is something that will re-
quirc nice discrimination on the part
| OF the assessors.
The first class property pays full
| taxes, the suburban two-thirds of full
| taxes and agricultural one-third of full
| taxes.
The assessors have been in cores
pondence with like officials In Pitts
| burg and Allegheny concerning the
manner in which they differentiate in
these cities. hut it is not improbable
| that one or two members of the board
will go to one of the Allegheny county
cities and personally make a study OF
the distinction observed there in clas-
styling.
Another matter which is bothering
| the assessors is the manner In which
| coal shall be taxed. So far as they can
| discover the act of 1897 contains no
| special provision for taxing coal.
