A Lesson from Experience

A T the breakfast table a child may reach out -
touch the shining coffee urn The parent. who
feels that mere obedience IS the ultimate ideal II
the home NAV say. " Don't touch that Now | tell
YOU. don't touch it If you do. I'll punish you -
The child. mastered by fear may refrain
The wiser parent may say, You should not
touch the hot coffee Il will burn your little
fingers If you do. Hot things always hurt little
children if they handle them.
Ii the child seeks 70 persist, the mother firmly
holding the urn 50 that It cannot spill and scald
the investigator may not interfere when the daring
rebel fingers still reach out and prove for them
selves that il Is really hot The burn, the mother
knows, will be but slight, a trifng pain that
instantly be relieved but the lesson may be great.
The child VIII have made personal deduction; he
will have experimental IN breaking law, and been
punished for il: he has converted experiment into
experience He has now greater respect for the
parent whose wisdom he sees and whose warning
he has disregaried, her guiding power and int1u-
ence are increased. He has not been punished tor
disObedlence but for breaking law OF nature,
which he knew IN advance yet dared TO dIsObey.
There IS danger II seeking to gOad the child into
saintshIp by constantly talking Of is faults by
irritating multiplicity Of rebukes, commands,
threats, censures, complaints, and protests They
weaken the child and lessen the parent power. In
atmosphere Of sCold1ng the child feels hopeless

peeped a pair OF we'll worn boots, but the
wearer of this Ill fitting costume worked
on with feverish haste, sight sufficiently
unusual when the city Is the employer to
attract more than passing interest. After
several hours work the foreman OF the
gang called q policeman to his side and
held a whispered conference Then the
bluecoat approached the shOyeer that had
attracted so much attention and extending
the stern arm of the law, said: You are
under arrest" The offender cast an i'm

then for the first time 1t was seen that
the shoveler was woman. Bursting into

was placed in the brave little woman's
hand that she could not have earned in

cdy followed her IN the police station, ar
ranged an early hearing of her Ca-s and
she was quickly liberated by the magis-
trate presiding, who. before doing SO, paid
a glowing tribute to her bravery.
The severity OF the weather In Greater
New York this winter has been more keen
ly felt than In years before. for the army
OF unemployed has reached proportions
which the various charitable organizations
found themselves totally unable to cope
with From reports submitted to the
overseer of the poor early in February II
was ascertained that there were /. 900
men out OF work In New York at that
time. This figure does not include ths
thousands OF women, girls and children
who find themselves laid or from the
shops In which they were employed
Should Il snow every day and every
night until summer sets In these men
could not all be employed on the Citys
streets, which conclusively proves how
great the suffering has been in Greatec
New York the past winter. Skilled me

services at day labor and clamoring fer

and not snowstorm has visited New
York this winter that II did not bring out
hundreds OF children and women, who
went from door to door OF the Weather
residents begging to be allowed TO sweep
the snow from the sidewalk and thereby
earn few pennies. Crossing sweeps, 90
common in London. were seen In New
York by the hundreds this winter, and
these were for the most part made mp OF
half grown girls and Care-worn women.

the real sufferers in blizzard times are
those persons who reside In the residence
sections Of the city, or those who are
called In the course OF their business to
sections less Travelled than the districts
heretofore mentioned. Here the snow
lies heaped up for days at q time, and In
many instances IL Is not even swept or
shoveed In piles, but there remains until
the elements aid IN its disappearance.
Last winter, and for q few days late In
January Of this year, certain sections OF
New York were entirely stOrmbound and
residents were compelled to dig their way
out OF the huge drifts that encompassed
them on all sides.
The keenest sufferers In such times are
the residents Of the East Side. The mar
row congested streets are not as well
kept as those In other sections of the
city, and their very narrowness tends to
add TO the suffering when snow begins to
drift East Siders are not clearly at best,
aud when the ground Is covered with
snow they take advantage OF the condI-
tions then existing, and trash OF ali sorts
Is thrown from windows and doorways,
and when the whte-winged brigade does
get around that way they are con-
fronted with an accumulation OF fIth,

that of the Madonna Enthroned done
in marble, and attributed to Michael An
EeIo. The expression seen on their faces
is wonderfully sweet and every detail,
even to the bahy's fingers is carved with
careful nicely.
The finest chapel is that Of the Duke
Of Burgundy and his daughter. wife Of
The Emperor MaxiEHIiau.
Nearby is the Grunthenuse Mansion,
handsomely decorated with turrets wood
carvings and marble mantels. 1t Is now
fitted up as a museum, with a large col

Kitchen utensils.
Even more Interesting is the Hospital
or St john which las been used for
hospital since the twelfth century. In
the center is the chapel, where are seen
MemHng's greatest masterpieces. On one
wall Is the Altar Piece of the s. s. John.
IL is triptych. and represents the Vir-
gin seated on a throne. Angels hold q
crown above her and the child In her lap
has a gold ring In his hand to give to
the bride kneeling at his feet. The col
ors are wonderfully French and brilliant;

crown and the brides gown are worked
with greatest nicely.

are the Nativity and the Presentation In

visitor to New York while snow

the celebrity with which traces OF the
snow are removed, but this is simply be-

travel and confines his peregriuatlons to
the main arteries OF traffic. AS soon as II
IL demonstrated that the storm. Is likely
TO assume such proportions as TO demand
