SPEAK THE TRUTH TO CH1L0KEN.
Good parents should have in mind
that wheh a child reaches the ad
vanced age of i years he usually be
gins lo develop a natural passion for
kn.-rt -Sedge. This is a much more im-
poriant singe m his career than most
people think. Once stifle this early
spirit of inquiry and you may do the
child irreparable injury. The parent
has now .the opportunity of laying the
foundation, of a wise man or a fool,
for although the elementary knowl
edge acqniied by oue so yonng may
appear trivial and premature, it' is
really the basis, on -which all his later
educatiou is built upon. More than
this, it is the habit of seeking infor
mation that is necessary to encourage!
and stimulate.
Forced studies at too early an age
aie greatly to be deprecated, but we
are always safe in letting the child
learn what it has a strong desire to
know. And this desire or curiosity
is the best guarantee we could have
that our instruction will receive close
atteutiou and be impressed on the
memory. Shakespeare's rule is a
golden one, in 'youth or manhood:
'No profit grows where is no pleas
ure taken; in brief, sir. study what
you most affect."
The questions which these young
sters are perpetually springing on us
are oftui very extraordinary. One
little fellow, a short time ago, said
to his father, "As God can do every
thing, can He make a stone so heavy
that He can't lift it?" Many pa
rents would have been puzzled to
give a satisfactory answer. The
worst thing we cati do in difficult
cases is to say, impatiently, "Don't
bother me child!" If you are igno
rant on the point submitted to you,
it is much better to say, frankly,
'That is one of the tilings your father
doesn't know. Ask me something
else, my child."
But the great difficulty with most
people is to" find a way of answering
these questions that shall be intelli
gible to the young mind with its
I scanty knowledge and very limited
i vocabulary. But with patience and
! perseverance it can generally be man-
iaged. Take a case in. illustration
Little Fred has been looking out of the
I . O
; window, and suddenly asks his father,
What is snow, daddy?" The father
replies "Don't bother me now, I'm
i reading." The big brother, home
i from school, comes to the rescue:
j '-Snow is moisture in the air that has
j been frozen into crystals in a temper
iature of 32 degrees or lower."
; The mother then breaks in: "What
j is the use in telling the child that
i stuff? Come here, Freddy, dear,
Mother Carey is plucking her goose
and snow is the feathers." Later on,
when the youngster finds that snow
is certainly not feathers, he says to
himself, 'mother is a story-teller like
all the rest of us,' and moral influence
is lost. If the system continues, the
child finds he is humbugged and
stops asking questions a convenient
but deplorable state of affairs.
Now, what that father should have
done is this: He . should have laid
down his book and said: "Well, Fred
dy, snow is wet up in the air that
gets frozen and -falls down." He
would then be asked: "What is
frozen?" and would reply, "When
anything gets hard and white ( with
cold." If tne question is then put,
"Why does it fall down?" a suitable
reply would be, "Because when it is
frozen it gets too heavy to stay up."
Such answers as these would be
i inteligible to every young mind, and
although they are far from scientific,
they really leave nothing tt be un
learned. And this is the great point
to be always kept in view: do not
teach a child anything that it will
have to unlearn it after years. It
is just as easy to tell him that the
stars are suns ever and ever so far off,
as to say that they are holes in the
the sky for angels to peep throngh.
Bui on no account should a child's
imagination be crushed ; on the con
trary, it should' be stimulated in ev
ery reasonable way. This may at
first seem in contradiction . to what
has already been written, but it is not
so. All that the writer contends is,
that in matters of physical science
and everyday fact, we should not
wilfully mislead our children. Let
them by all means remain loyal to
their fairies and other little childish
fancies, for these are on quite a dif
ferent plane. They form the poetry
in their young lives, and jt is a com
mon fallacy that poetry and scientific
knowledge are opposed. The vault

finally, what a lot we can learn
from these clear-headed 'youngsters.
"Out of the 'mouths of babes and
sucklings" we get problems that may
well puzzle men of learning. If a
change question .sends ns to a text
book that we have not opened jfor
ten or twelve years, let us not be im
patient, but thankfnl for the oppor
tunity of recovering what had slipped
bur memory. ; If it leads , as to seek
and acquire additional knowledge,
it will be a gain to ns as well - as to
the child.
The late Prof. Tyndall always en
couraged school boys to ask him ques
tions. One of them wantpd to know
why the part of a towel that had
been dipped in water was darker
than the dry portion, and the man of
science remarked that no man had
ever asked this question, and very
few would have been able to give the
correct answer. Thire is nothing to
gain and a great deal to lose by
humbugging our children. Norfolk

Extravagance.
One item of extravagance heaped
upon the people by the last Legisla
ture is explained very strikingly by a
recent bill for dockets for the Justices
of the Peace made by the Register of
Deeds of this county in pursuance of
the requirement of the law. He or-,
dered twenty neV dockets and the
bill for the same was $37.50. In
this county there are 54 additional
Justices of the Peace to whom the
county is required to furnish these
dockets. The Fusion -'.Legislature
does the dancing, but the 'people pay
the fiddler. It will further be re
membered that this is1 only a small
item in the expense of this political
luxury, as the necessary books must
be furnished by the State and paid
for out of the people's money. And
all this for something that is con
fessedly not necessary. Asheboro

"What am I running for?" he re

Highest of all in Leavening

"Let me tell you a thing or two
about the great American beverage,"
sai4 Mr. John G. Law, of Boston,
prepident of a big tile manufacturing
conpern, to a reporter, at the Hotel
Page. "What is the national bever
age?. Perhaps you'd say whiskey, or
beer, but you'd be away wide of the
mark!. Soda water is what I am
talking about, and I speak advisedly
when I call it the great American
beverage, for it has certainly become
the national drink.
In the first place it is a peculiarly
American tipple. I came across one
fountain in Venice; London has
three, and perhaps, in the rest of
Europe tnere may be a dozen. The
n . . i 1
amount of capital invested in this!
trade all over the United States is
enormous, running so far up into
the millions that 1 m afraid to give'
figures. That it is a lucrative busi
ness goes without saying, for how
else could men afford to pay $4,000
ta o,uuu ior tne nuge ana ornate
affairs from which the pleasing 'soft
stuff is drawn.
"A New Orleans man named May
told me that his yearly profits from
his fountain were $30,000. One
Sanders,-a Detroiter, who owns an
$8,000 fountain, the finest displayed
at the World's Fair, does 'a rnshing
business, and his sales run from $300
to $700 per day, the year round. In
Buffalo, Stoddard Brothers employ
thirty girls to handle ice cream soda,
aud it takes 3,000 glasses to accom
inodate their trade. They sell it at
5 cents per glass, and there is a net
profit of 100 per cent. In Boston,
Thompson's Spa, the greatest soda
resort at the Hub, easily clears for its
owners $50 000 a vear. There are in
