The child did not then break her silence. but taking her father's hand in lu rs led him with a tender force which he could not resist to the other end of the room.

"Hut I remember one occea-iiin when this master of repiitee was completely nonplused aud unable to hold his own ut a time he seemed to need all the eloquence at his command. It occurred many years ago, when we both were students at the Illinois College, iu Jacksonville. President Sturtovant, of the college, was quite a chicken fan cier, and his coop contaiued many costly fowls. Oue night several of us decided that it would bo an easy job to raid the doctor's hen-roo.st and have an impromptu chicken feast on the campus. Bryan was tho leader in the enterprise. In sotno way Dr. Sturtcvant got wind of the af fair and was watching for us. The night was almost pitch dark, aud of course we were unaware uf the doctor's presence on the scene. Bryan enteied the coop aud soon passed out to ine a fine rooster, with the remark: 'Here's Old Spots him self.' "We college boys had nicknamed Pres ent Sturtcvant 'Old Spots' and always referred lo him thus among ourselves. "A motneut later a hen was passed out to me, Bryan remarking as he did so: Here's M rs. Spots.' Next came a pullet, and Bryan said, 'Now, I take pleasure in presenting to you Miss Spots.' There was no interruption aud the feast came off as it had been planned A few days later wo were somewhat sur prised to receive un invitation to dine at the president's residence, aud were con siderably woriied when we compared notes and luaud that ui b iys were invit ed except those who had participated in the hen-roo-t raid.

Many calico has a peculiar ori- ecnl uries since the first monarch of Malabar, Ilindeostau, gave to one of his chiefs, as a reward for s rvices, the land wit:uu the limits oi which n cock crowing at a certain temple could be heard. From this circumstance the little town which sprang up in tin utre of this ten itury was c.iihd "Call cado," or "The Crowing Cock." After ward it was called Calicut, and from this ilace the first cotton goods were imported in' o England uuder Ihe name of calico "The smartest baby in the world" is comiuou enough. No self respecting family is without one. Every father in the land is willing to slaud on tho corner and let half a dozen ears go by if he can pour into your ear the latest urliculatc wonder baby has perl'oiiuid. Any moth er will tell you that when lite little urigel was It days old it could recognize every member of the family and had ideas nn things in general. But notwithstanding this great array of involuntary evidence, it has been found interesting by some analytical mind to iletcrmine as nearly as possible at what age the senses first manifest their pres ence It is interesting tu note the results of these observations. First of all, it would seem that every ealthy child has sensibility to light, touch, temperature, smell and taste on the first day of infant life. Therefore, from the very beginning of his career he is not indifferent to the glare of a bright lamp, lo the pain of a pricking pin, to tho scald ing of a too hot bath, to the unpleasant ness of burned feathers or to the taste of sour bottle. Nurses will do well to icar ibis in mind. earing, it will he noticed, is the only pecial setise that is not active at the inning. As a matter of fact, the child Iocs not hear until about the third or fourth day. The senses that are the most active from the first are those of taste and smell. leneral organic sensations of well being or discomfort are also felt from tho begin ning, but pain and pleasure, as mental itatos, are not noted until at oi near e second month. The liist souods of speech in the shape of uttcranc", consonant sounds tire heard in the latter part of the second month. These consonants being generally "in,' r," ' g', or "t." Consonants being neces sary to the articular utterance of any lan- uage, and these particular letterd hein g lie ei-ie-t aud therefore the eatltest that the infant learns, parents have with com mon consent given them a very fanciful iulerpntalioii. Thus when the baby ays "Goo-goo," he is telling you that he is supremely hupp); when he says"Mum muni," the dulling knows his mother, he iocs; aud when he utters the elementary sound "Ta-ta," the precious angel is thank- tog the eouip mv for blessings received as ilainly as anything could he All the movements of the eyes became ,i- Tiliiiiito by the fourth month anil by this time the youngster begins to have the "feeling of self" that is, he looks at his own hands and looks at himself in ihe mirror. The study uf ihe child's mind during the first year shows conclusively that ideas develop and reasoning processes occur belore there is any kuowledge of words or of language. It is assumed, howovcr, that the child thinksio symbols, visual or auditory, which are clumsy equivalents for words. By the end of the yeur the child begius to express him sell by sounds that is, speech begins. Philadelpha Press. IT ISSA11). th.

Ills mother had mended his clothes, but said his shoes were so bad that he must go barefoot. Then he look a biiclt and broke the bottle, but there Were no shoes iu it, and he became fright ened for it was his father's bottle. Tim sat down again and sobbed so loud that he did not hear a slop behind him until a voice said: "Well what's all ibis?" He sprang up in great alarm; it was his father' "Who broke my bottle?" he said. "I did," said Tim, catching his breath. half in terror and half between his subs. "Why did you?" The voice did not souud us he had ex pected. The truth was his father had been touched at tho sight of the forlorn figure, so very small aud so sorrowful, which bad bent over the broken bottle. "Why," he said, "I was looking for a pair of new shoes; I want a pair of new shoes awful bad all the other chaps wear shoes." How came you to thiuk you'd find shoes in the bottle?" the father asked. "Why, mother said so; I asked her for some new shoes, and she said they had one into tbe black bottle, and lots of other things had gone into it too coats and hats, and bread and meat and things; and I thought that if I broke it, I'd find em all, and there ain't a thing in il! I'm reul sorry I broke your bottle, father. I'll never do it again." "No, I guess you won't," ho said, lay ing his hand on tho rough little ncad, as he went away, leaving Tim overcome with astonishment that his father bad not been angry with him. Tvo days after he handed Tim a parcel, telling him to open it. "New shoes! New shoes!" ho shouted. "Oh, father: did you got a new bottle and were they in it?" "No, my boy, there aiu'tgoiug to be any in a new bottle, lour niotncr was right.
