The Handling
Of Curious
Children
A Youngster Is Not
Bad Only Seeking
Information.
By ANGELO PATRI,

7 TITLE children are curious about
the world and the people and ami
mails and things they see about them.
Everything is new. They see it for
the first time. They want to know
all they can about it, so they feel it.,
taste it, smell It. heft 1t, listen to it.
see what 1t will do when they do some-
thing to it, take 1t apart. and II they
can, put it together again. Not be-
cause they want to bother people. but
because they are driven by powerful
instinct to learn.
When little children reach this stage
of investigation the precious brittle
things about the house ought to be
put away. Then take the child about
the house on excursions to see and to
learn. Let him touch things. name
them for him. and teach him what is
to be looked 1t and left and what can
be taken and Investigated This prac.
tice will save lot of family wear and
tear. And occasionally hoist the child
on your shoulder and carry him
around 80 that he gets view Of the
world above his own eye level He
wants to see what is up there. Let
him because he feels he must That
may save him from falling from a
high place.
Give such child basket or
drawer. in which he has boxes with
lids, odds and ends Of all sorts to in
vestigate. The material should be
changed once in while. well learned
bits taken out and . few new ones
put in. Give him nothing small
enough to swallow. A bail. rubber
animal. few clothespins. a little
bell, . few blocks. q toy on wheels,
some bits of colored cloth or paper.
These will help him TO get knowl-
edge of things without his making
trouble.
AS the children grow they ask ques-
tions. Answer them. Now and then
you will and . child who asks ques-
tions for the attention he gets He
knows that his question will be an
swered. so he strains his mind to find
things to ask about. not for the in.
formation, but for the sake of talking
and being answered. Give him a lob
and send him on his way.
The children of five and six are still
seeking information. BY this time the
grown people have begun shooing
them out of the way. closing doors,
shutting bureau drawers. putting away
packages and saving: Nov never
mind. This is none Of your affair.
Run along and play" The child
peeks between the curtains. or through
the crack In the door; he fingers out.
side the closed door; he prizes and he
watches.
HE is Z sreaky child. He is nasty
minded" Such judgments are as
wrong as they are unjust. The child
only wants to know what is going on
and how and why. He is none of the
things he Is termed.
The child is doing nothing more
than extending his field of investiga-
tion beyond the play basket. Had he
been given the information. allowed
rather to accumulate 1t as he grew, he
would not have to offend people in his
search. A child's curiosity is his force
for mental growth. He is not SHINING
when he uses it.

out as closely as possible the desires
OF his client, and then proceeded to
make the bowl or teapot. only to be
paid for his labor. The general size
of the article was shipped out of a
sheet of metal and then hammered
over mold or form. Handles. FINALS
and all decorative bits were cast in
pewter or sand molds and finished by
hand.
Engraving was the most usual form
OF decoration. with later some re-
pousee work, These older pieces have
deep. soft sheen. quite unlike the
later highly polished pieces that were
made from thin sheets Of metal. They
also have a purity of form, line and
detail that occurs only when beauty
depends on perfect proportion, rather
than elaborate decoration. At q time
when all European art was "over-
done" in both shape and design Amer
ican workers created an austere. re-
strained fashion, which has remained
pattern Of good taste for 200 years.
WHERE the earliest piece OF silver
was undoubtedly the spoon the
most interesting Is the porringer, pos
sibly because 1t is no longer in gen.
eral use. A deep dish about S inches
in diameter, it was used as q general
utility dish on every table. Every
family could afford at least one As they
varied In size. depending on the
amount of silver furnished by the
customer. but In general shape and
pattern they vary but slightly. Now
adays We buy reproductions of these
porringers for children's use, As the
deep bowl and turned-in rim helps
to keep porridge in the bowl and the
wide fiat handle insures a tight grip
by small hand.
There were all sorts OF drinking
equipment made Of silver. including
mugs and jugs, beakers. goblets.
f1agons and pitchers. Also tea and
coffee pots. cream pitchers. sweetmeat
boxes and sugar bowls for home use
as well as the fiat silver. For ecclesi-
astical use were aims plates, COM
munion cups and baptismal basins,
and in the old churches of New Eng
land are many of the early silver
smiths treasures at the present time.
Loving cups, punch bowls and ex-
quisite tea services were made for
presentation to important statesmen.
and to commemorate great occasions.
There is now a new appreciation Of
handmade silver. Young brides are
as proud today of their table service
as they we're 200 years ago of a Revere
tea set. In addition to this interest
in handmade silver Is a great new
revival of reproductions of the famous
old pieces made by the modern silver
manufacturers, to come within the
purse Of all of us. Identical In shape
and design. the reproductions of Paul

~ transfer my home and all Of

Answer: None whatever. In fact. the
only thing you can be absolutely cer-
| tain OF Is that there would be no well
come on the mat in front of your chill
drens' doors once they had got pos
session of your money.
Surely you have seen the trsgedje
that have happened to other parents
who have done what your children
are trying to get you to do often
enough to be warned Of the danger
of committing such a folly. Have
you forgotten old John Smith, who

fireside. feed him on the tid-bits at
the table and relieve him of all work
and care, who was treated as II he
! had been a tlespised pensioner as soon
as his greedy sons got their fingers
on the place? = -
Don't you remember that it was a
neighborhood scandal when he was
ousted from the room he had slept in
for fifty years and moved up to the
attic because his daughter in law
wanted sunny place for the children
to play? Don't you rember how
shabby he grew to be; how insultingly
they interrupted him when he tried to
tell story; how they let the children
talk back to him?
| Have you forgotten Mrs Jones. who
fell into the trap that her children
! baited for her with kisses and sweet
words and promises Of how happy
they would make her: how they would
spend their lives waiting on her and
entertaining her and doing everything
fo- her pleasure if only she would
give them all of the money that Pa
| left her and the old home?

nON'T YOU recall how the children
tried to land her on each other
because none of them wanted her?
Don't you remember that she was not
even welcome in the house that she
had given them? Don't you remem-
Der how cowed. forlorn and piteous
she got TO BIZ because she knew her

treated like the beggar she had made
herself?
| And didn't you know at the time
that if these old people had kept their
money that their children would still
be at least giving them lip service and
he gracious and affectionate to them?
Because between father and mother
who have empty pockets and nothing
to give and between father and mother
who come bearing gifts there is great
difference.
ANY father and mother who turn
over their property to their children
while they are still alive deserve just
the kind of treatment they get. For

900 licensed anglers and hunters.
1850 Rabbits Ordered
The commissioners will resume
their stocking program in January at
the close of the hunting season. AL
ready $500 rabbits have been ordered
for delivery early in 1889.

Generation after generation ol

large share of the farm revenue. To-
day the live poultry industry may be
subdivided as follows: "a Produc-
