LOVE OF A CHILD.
A Rudimentary Affair, Meaning Little

in It's First Years.
New York Tribune: Does a child love
its mother? This question is commonly
answered in the affirmative, and some
very pretty sentiments have been inspired
by this supposed fact. but, according to
Earl Barnes, the foundation for the belief
is of the slenderest kind.
Your cnlld loves you much In the same
way as 1t loves Its crib. and its nursing
bottle" he said before the Jennie Hunter
association. at a. meeting held
in the Presbyterian building yesterday aft
ernoon. 1T regards You as a comfortable
attachment to life. 1t is true, it may
show a decided preference for one per-
son over the others, but that is only be-
cause it gets the largest number of pleas
urable responses from that person. In
the same way, 1t would show a preference
for Its accustomed crib IL you tried to
change 1t to another. And as it will rec
oncile itself in a few days to a new crib.
so 1t will transfer its affections to another
person. A two-year-old child will forget
its mother In a week, in spite of all that
the people around it can dc to keep the
memory alive, and even a child OF five
years does not remember long"
The generosity often attributed to chill
dren is also a delusion. 1t appears.
Ask n child OF a year old for a piece
VI I sugar, proceeded tne lecturer, and
it will hand IT to you without hesitation:
but make the same request six months
later, and the compliance will be of the
most grudging character. The child has
not developed the vice of selGshness In
that time. 1t has simply developed a
sense of quantity. At one year 1t does
not realize that It limits Itself by giving
away part of its sugar, and at eighteea
months 1t does.
Love OF animals Is quite lacking in
young children. They may appear to be-
passionately attached to their pets. but
cannot be trusted not to perpetrate shock
ing cruelties upon them. / have known a
little girl to throw the kitten from which
she could hardly bear to be parted from
a three-story window, and another little
girl whipped her skye terrier. on which
she generally lavished a great deal of af-
lection, just for the fun of seeing 1t jump.
The love OF country comes long after
the Kindergarten age, and * the love of
God can be said to be entertained by n
child 1t is love of a very unthropomorphic
God. modelled after its father or mother
or uncle.
Love, in fact, is an emotion which de-
velops very slowly in the race and the
child follows in its development the his
tory OF the race. Among low grade peo-
pies love is almost entirely maternal.
Among the Romans we get up to paternal
and love. The Greeks rose to
love Of country, but 1t is only when we
come to Christ that we get the love that
goes out to all the world, extending even
to animals and nature. l find no love Of
God in antiquity. The Greeks and Romans
and Egyptians feared their gods, but did
not love them. That, too, came with
Christ"

Mrs. Cleveland's Joke.

Gertrude L. Cobb, in L~ippincott's
Magazine: This is a true story.
When Mrs. Grover Cleveland was
Miss Frankie Folsom. the prettiest girl
in Wells college, she had a teacher in
English composition, Miss Myra
Reynolds. now a professor at the Uni
versity of Chicago.
Miss Folsom handed in an essay one
day in which occurred the reprehen-
sible word pants
Miss Reynolds promptly crossed out
the offending term and wrote in the
margin:
Gents wear pants, gentlemen wear
pantaloons."
The connection was obviously alb
sorbed by the fair pupil. A few years
later. when Miss Folsom, as Mrs.
Cleveland, had become the first lady OF
one day an imposing-looking letter
from the executive mansion, Washing
ton. On opening it a sheet of beautiful
note paper, bearing h monogram and
crest of the presidents wife. appeared
together With Mrs. Cleveland's card. on
the center of the sheet was pinned
simply a newspaper clipping which
read:
Mamma said little Emerson High

Brownies and the De Whitneys and the
Burne-Smithsons all gone away for the

THE rRoLLEY,s ANNIVERSARY
Progress of the Electric Railroad in Its
First Quarter Century,

From the New York Sur The year
1904 brings us to the quarter century
mark since the Siemens Company Of
Berlin first connected an electric motor
to q truck and initiated the electric
railway. Tie car was crude, and the
railway a small affair, $50 yards long,
and of 8 feet 8 inches gauge, the third
rail being used. A species of sliding
trolley on an overhead rail was invent
ed two years later. In 1885 Van Depole
invented the under running trolley
wheel, making feasible the use of over
head wire conductors, and Wellington
Adams mounted the motor directly on
the car aXle-the practice up to that
time having been to mount the motor
the axle by chains or belts.
These two inventions, the under run
ming trolley n the direct connected
motor, are perhaps the only features
in electric car designing which have
survived the contest of changes and
improvements in the equipment Of cleo
trio lines.
In the early cars q couple of 15-horse-
power motors were thought to De ample.
Today an electric locomotive is in OPP
GRAFTON on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road propelled by eight 225-horsepower
motors. a total of 1900 horsepower. The
first cars built had a seating capacity
OF sixteen. Sixty IS the number of pas
sengers that can be seated in the latest
designs. In arrangements for long dis
lance trolley lines, the middle west
states are taking the lead. In Indiana
fV roads, each over 100 miles in
length, are finished or in curse OF con-
structlon.
A 2Oo-mile road is in operation be-
tween Columbus. Ohio, and I%ndianap-

Ing cars of the most advanced type.
Extensions of this line are being pushed
through to Wheeling, w. Va, and to
Pittsburg, n plans are being made
for connections with Cincinnati. This
service in another year will cover
stretches in various directions of from
200 to 500 miles in length. Solid trains
are run. consisting of sleepers, dining
cars n day coaches, all of the most
improved design and construction. the
sleepers costing over $4,000 each. State
rooms with two berths are used, in
stead of open compartments. The road
beds and tracks are built as substan-
TALLY as on steam roads, and a speed
Of sixty-fve miles an hour is regular

to me to eclipse the damsels of all other

does it, and. not being a poet. l could not

that she is exceptionally beautiful. But

she has such an irresistible way with her;
she is such an adept in the art of look
ing nice: she is SO witty and good hui

Mr.. Warren was born iii Ashheld, the
town made famous By the annual din
ners promoted by the late George Will
lam Curtis and others. Not until two
years ago., when he came to live with
his granddaughter, Mrs. Charles A.
Nash of this city, hao he ever spent
more than a night OF two at a time
outside of Ashfield.
AT that time he was taken with the

CAT CANNOT SUCK BREATH.
Old Superstition Is Upset by the High
est Medical Authorities.

Medical Talk: Can u cat really suck
the breath of a child?
We have always heard that it could,
Away back in early childhood we dis
tinctly remember of frequent warnings
to look out for the cat. DO not allow
the cat to get into bed with you. Es-
pecially to get into bed with the baby,
as it is liable to suck the baby's breath,
which would cause the baby to die.
is there any foundation for SUCH a
notion as this We never could dis
cover any real meaning to the belief
that a cat can suck the breath of a
child. Indeed, the sentence is totally
un1ntelligible.
What is meant by sucking the
breath? 1t may be true that the cat,
had recently been nursing. might at
tempt to interfere in some manner
with the child's mouth. In young cats
the impulse to nurse might be excited
by the smell of the child's breath. 1t
is barely possible hat the cat might
be seized with a desire to bite or to
devour the child's lips or tongue. lured
on by the smell of milk. We are not in
a position to deny these possibilities.
Maybe they are true.
But not my of these suppositions
furnish a basis for the statement that
the cat is liable to suck the child's
breath. We have always heard this
statement with a shudder of horror.
1t seems to convey some weird, horri-
BILE tragedy that can hardly be ira.
agined. But 1T is a mere fancy. the
origin Of which is hard to explain.
Yet we would advise roth rs to be
careful about leaving the infa..t with a
cat. We do not favor the Id 4 OF cats

with cats, handling tfem, mopping

good for the cat. 1t is good for
the chila. Neither cats nor IS ought
to be treated in this ma: ". They
are all right in their Iiatl, But they
are not fit for ~playthinss.
Ii the superstition tM.s . cat can
suck a child's breath has operated as
a preventive to mothers allowing their
children to play with cats, it has served
a very good purpose. but such childish
notions are hardly compatible with
mature reflection. 1t is one OF the old
wives fables which ma have served a
good purpose, but it is too ridiculous
for repetition. There are other and bet
ter reasons Why the cat and baby
should not be left together thar the
vague, unintellisiole fear that the cat
will suck the child's breath.

We come now to what Is known as
Alakea street. On the Eva corner
makai of this street was a fine large
straw house which l remember at this
time as the residence of Judge Ro-
bertson, a man well known and still
remembered for his sterling worth and
integrity of character. on the Walki-
XII corner stood two-story stone
house, occupied by Mr.. James Jackson
Jarves and his wife. He was the pro-
moter of the effort at silk culture at
Koloa, Kauai, which proved failure
for the lack of "a sufficiently low tenn
perature TO allow the cocoons to come
into the proper condition to produce
silk. See Mr.. Jarves' very full account
in his book, Scenes and Scenery of
the Sandwich Islands"
Mr.. Jarves was also at one time the
editor of the weekly newspaper, called
The Polynesian. A startling announce
ment was made in one of its issues
which caused no end of speculation
nd al n
of minuteness that "a young American
had disappeared on the morning of
the Fourth Of July; when last seen he
was entering the gate of the fort, since
which time no trace of him had been
found" The secret leaked out before
