telligence; and because these cleverly
constructed automata interest and d.
vert us, we think that they are adapt
ed as playthings for the children. We
take them home and enjoy them While
the little ones marvel at them for an
hour. Tomorrow they are either taken
to pieces to crafty a scientific impulse
or laid upon shelf. And the children,
until the next periodical rain Of costly
gifts descends, happily pursue their
games with the aid Of the crude OBJ
jects which they have fashioned, for
themselves out Of board. a stick, a
piece Of string, or whatever else may
have been available in completing
some comprehensive plan.
Toys need not be meaningless in Or
der to be simple. They may be so con-
structed on simple, vital lines as to sug-
gest life, activity, strength. Why not
direct q little attention toward securing
the embodiment of simple art princi-
pies in the toys with which the chill
dren are to live?
It is significant that most children
find a keener delight in playing with
paper dolls than with any other kind.
This is but an added confirmation Of
the fact that the imagination Of the
child loves best few direct lines that
it may clothe with contours OF limitless
beauty and charm.

Stevenson to put himself in the place
Of the child and to speak truly from
the depths Of the child mind.
And so, oblivious to the real nature
of the realm in which the little one is
king, we all seem bent, this Christmas
season, upon .diverting him from the
spell of that land by thrusting him into
the world Of the actual, the matter-of-
fact. To this end we surround him
with objects that are as exact repro
duction of real things as it is possible
to make; and we bid him "play" with
these literal facsimilies of things which
he sees around him.

animals with real fur, little French

them and said: :"Of such is the king
dom Of heaven" Socrates sneered at
the grief of a mother weeping for her
babe. If Plato suggested that every
village should select distant hilltop
and build pen for the exposure Of
unwelcome children; if Aristotle urged
laws making the drowning Of sick and
weakly children compulsory on their
parents; if Seneca said, eve slay the
worn-out OK and horse and it is not
wrath, but reason. that separates
weak children from strong:" if Cicero
rebuked his friend for grief because he
missed the dead babe, then every lover
of childhood must rise up to speak for
that Christ who took child in His
arms, whose love brooded over the
child as the stars looked down upon
the little town Of Bethlehem, and who
sent through the ages this word, "Suf-
fer little children to come unto Me-"
Jesus said, Take heed that We offend
not one of Ny little children" and
Their angels do always behold the

children who had been left to starve.
They founded schools for orphaned

parents. 3 :. :

This morning the whole city has wax

their years and become young again.
Before the light had fully dawned the

will behold larger multitudes throng-

feel that no flowers are sweet enough,
no songs bright enough, no gifts rich
enough for the Christmas Day. For

Judge Psasley Held Court In the ab.

Judge Peasley held city court to- day and will during the absence of Judge Burpee, who went to Canada last night for a week or 50. Intoxica- tion was the main feature or the busi- ness that came before the court Off cer Tehan found Thomas Smith intoxi- cated on the corner of South Main and Union streets yesterday and the mans appearance showed he was in a bad state. He seemed to be famished with the cold. He was given thirty days in jail.
 Michael J. Griffin was put out of his boarding house and went to the police station for a bed. He was locked up. His sentence was fine of $5 and costs and probation thirty days.
 William Pendleton came here from New Haven three days ago. He was making things unpleasant for passers- by on South Main street last evening. tostling everybody and passing re- marks on them. When Officer Keir- sted advised him to go home he defied the officer to arrest him. The one who does that with Officer Keirsted is looking for trouble and generally he gets all he wants of it. At least Pen dleton did. He kicked and bit the of f1cer and made things as lively as he was able. bur he w;tS >,h'''tt after a while. He was given thirty days in Jail and fined s and costs.

A year or so ago ;Trs Laribec submitted many times at New Haven to the N-ray treatment for the removal of partly developed capcar from the breast: and after several months of treatment it was held that the cancer had been cured: and such appeared to be fact, though with it's disappear ance there had come rheumatic pains.
 For several months previous to her death Mrs Laribee was unable to move hand or foot in bed. She was a years old and up to taking the Rocntgen treatment had never been sick for more than few days.

NO REPORT YET.
Beard of Finance Divided as to What
 heans to Pursue.

Although the board of finance threw all the safeguards possible about the report on unpaid assessments, things are leaking out by degrees which show that the board is by no means q unit as to what courset the city should pursue 1 in the premises. While it is true that 1 the aldermen have not been able to get a peep at the report. yet if you get hold of the right parties, even though they hold no office, you can find out all l there is to it, and after you hear the ! whole of it one sees that the papers 1 picked up all the facts, so that when the report does reach the public there will be nothing new in it. l X very close friend of one of the commissioners told a representative of this paper that there is a merry war or among the commissioners of the de- partment of finance over proposition to employ an expert accountant to look the matter up and see how his finding Will compare with that of the special committee. It appears from what has leaked out that some of the commiS
 sioners are very strongly opposed to this and claim that if any more inveS' tigating is to be made it should not be i done at the expense of the people, who have already paid in the neighborhood of $700 or $500 for what has been done but the opposition is bound to have the expert and unless either gives it. there will be clash that will be heard on the outside. Those who take the city's side of the case say that an ex- pert would be likely to spend the great CT part of year on the job and if the city had to foot the bill for such ser vice he would prefer to sec the whole thing dropped and have the aldermen instruct the comptroller to credit every body with what his receipt shows he paid and let it go at that, instead of putting a lot of money digging up in- formation for the benefit of others. There seems to be q feeling that the city is not going to make anything out of this thing, and if this be so why it would be the rankest kind of folly to keep on paying accountants to prove the matter. Mir Lord is a bank teller, and probably just as competent man for that work as could be secured. and the other member. Assessor McEvoy. is also well equipped for such service. Both gave the subject good deal of time and in the opinion of some of the commissioners this is sufficient for the city's side of the case, but if others want another report from a new com mittee the cost should be met by who- ever is not satisfied with the one ak ready prepared. If each member of the board holds to the idea now enter tained it is likely that the report will be sent to the aldermen with two recommendations. one that the books be gone over by an expert and another suggesting that the city attorney be Instructed to proceed to collect the un- paid assessments.

NEW CODE OF RULES,
Train Rules Comm 'ttse Ready to
 Make Recommendations.

Chicago. Feb 24-The train rules committee of the American Railway association has held a meeting here and completed code of rules to gov ern the operation of trains on roads having three and four tracks.
 The committee has been at work for months, and is ready to make recom- mendations to the general association at it's next semi-annual meeting. Un- doubtedly the rules as" prepared will be approved and adopted by all the roads which are members of the or ganization.
 The purpose of formulating 4 code is to obtain uniform practice on all important American railway systems. With uniformity. it is said. in the rules and methods of operation, rail way accidents will be greatly lessened.
 The new rules are said to be con- prahensive and include the operation of trains against the current of traffic under certain conditions. That is to say. when the tracks are properly protected by block signals it will be permissible to switch train into the opnosite track and theve operate it ac- cording to certain rules and regula- tions.
