house drainage up again. 101 veil, POSTPON ED ACTION TILL PLIMBERS COLLD BE HEARD. Dieetins of the Committee of the NVhole To-morrow Afternoon to Consider the Matter—Alderman Thomas Objeeted to Going; on Record as the Father of the Ordi nance in Its Amended Shape—Al derman Dixon Thonftht He Should •‘Stand for” It—Alderman AVells Objected Strongly to Four-Inch Pipes. That the house drainage ordinance 1 ad been pending for some time before Coun cil and that it had been struggling harder then most measures that are introduced, aa shown at the meetr.g yesterday a - when the clerk announced; "Or dinance on the fourth reading.” Alderman Thomas looked conscious of this evidence of the opposition that the ordinance h -d found and the various meetings through which it has passed, and his confreres listened as to the recital of some "twi e told tale, dinning the ears of a drowsy man.” Earlier in the meeting, when the Coun cil w'os called upon to approve the min htes of the last meeting, Alderman Thom as offered an objection to the ordinance being ascribed to him, and showed a decid ed reluctance to father it. He declar'd that he did not believe it should be so rec orded, as il had been altered and added to since its introduction. Alderman Dixon demurred. He thought Alderman Thomas should be considered the author of the ordinance. Asa member of the committee, he himself was willing o assume the responsibility for the house drainage, though not for the excess over the budget, and he saw no reason why Alderman Thomas should not be w ill ing to admit his relationship to the or dinance. Several of the Aldermen chipped in, and quite a little discussion ensiled. The pros pect of getting on to other business began to look a trifle bilious, but City Attorney Adams drew his chair up to the Mayor's and whispered a suggestion. The Mayor seemed to agree with him, and Mr. Adams remarked that, as a point of persona] privilege, Alderman Thomas, if he wished to go on record as not admitting responsi bility for the ordinance, might have it clearly set forth that he did not approve the amendments. This suggestion was ac ceptable, and the Council passed on to the consideration of the cemetery ques tion. After having disposed of the report of the special committee on the cemetery site the house drainage ordinance was read by the clerk. When it was stated that the soil pipe to extend at leas two feet above the roof of a house should be four inches in diamater. Alderman Wells promptly ohjected. He declared that this would demand the reconstruction cf every house in the city, an expense that property ■ owners would not care to as sume. Mr. \V. R. Chapman, supervising engin eer for the house drainage work, was called upon fqr expert testimony about t* e points in the ordinance, and he in sisted that it would be ‘ good practice” to have flic pipes four inches and reaching at least two feet above the roofs. "Goo i practice for the plumbers.” Alderman Wells remarked, and then continued with a stat r nient cf his objections to the setume. He wanted practical knowledge upon the question, with all deference to the scientific knowledge of Mr. Chapman,- and proposed a meeting at wh’ch well informed plum' era might he present t give the benefit of "their experience. Aldernran Thomas also wanted the plumbers to pass upon the question, hut he. wanted them in a hurry. :,s the people ore anxious to have their connection!-; with t he house drainage system m.nb . \ meeting for to-morrow afternoon of 1.• Committee of the Whole was propose.!, and it was with the understanding that they would- meet at 4 o'clock that the aldermen adjourned. Plumbers will bo present then to give their views. THEATKK'S NEW MAVIGEiR. Mr. Fre*l G. Wri* W ill Re In Clinr~* !Vxt Sonsnn. Mr. Frrd G. Weis, a younger brcthe r of Mr. Sidney H.

The railroads report the vegetable sea son practically over, so far as shipments from this section are concerned. Truck is no longer moving from Florida, and but small quantities are shipped from the farms in this vicinity. The season has not l>een what might be termed a prosperous one for the farmers, u the prices secured for the products were not high enough. The yield, however, was excellent, and could good prices have been secured, the busincsis would have paid excellently. i)E M AND "ONO’S TTatC-N,'.

When ho returned from Rhodesia to Cope Town in 1597 he found his house in ruins, the place having been gutted by fire. He was obliged to live elsewhere during the day, but every night he returned to sleep in what re mained of his old bedroom. He did not do this for the sake of as soclation. nor for greater privacy, but because, as he told on* of his friends, “1 muwt have my mountain view." <ll light l>> 111* Flmli.

The brain?- of children are at present the subject of anxious study by the au thorities of the District of Columbia, w ho are trying in this way to reach satis factory conclusions ns to the age at which young Iriks ought to begin to go to school. It is beginning to be thought that schooling may perh ips be started too early for the health and welfare of the little ones, and <his Idea seems plausible when it is considered chat infants of C yeais are compelled to seek book learn ing at the public cost in the District of Columbi i and in Wyoming, while mere prattlers of 4 are allowed to take advant age of educational opportunitys in Con necticut. Wisconsin arid Oregon, if their parents so desire. In thirteen other states, of the Union the minimum age of voluntary prtendance is 5 years. Light is thrown upon this interesting subject foi a study of the growth and development of the mind organ in chil dren. In this line the most important work has been done by Dr. W. W. John ston. \ distinguished physician of Wash ington. who calls attention to the fact that the human brain attains practically its fail weight when the individual is only about 8 years of age. At birth the bruin weighs approximately a pound, but i<s development so rapid that at the end of ih< first year It would tip the scales at two and one-half pounds. At 4 years it has reached nearly three pounds, hut from that time on its growth L com paratively slow. Attaining <o what is to all Intents and purposes its full size at 8 years, it does not alter appreciably aft r 12 years, and after 24 years it begins to diminish slowly hut steadily in avoirdu pois. These fids obviously have a very Im portant bearing upon questions of school training. So for as brain development is concerned, the first eight yur* of age are by far the important of the chtlde’s life, the main growth of the or gan taking place during that period. It is evident that the s-ature attained event ually by the mind depends largely upon the perfection of brain growth during thl* epoch. I >r. Johnson urges that education ought not to begin dur ng th's period of brain growth, and that children that are sent to school before <hey are 8 years of age are threatened with serious injury. Also, he contends that, in vi w of the facts above stated, read ng brain de velopment, 'nstructlon during the first years should not be too exacting or too stimulating. Precocity ought to he check ed, furthermore, and not fostered. The male brain at birth is heavier than • e female brain. Another interesting : act is that a child’s brain contains more ‘ ater and much less nerve tissue than •n adult’s. At birth the brain of an infant contains 89 per cent, of wajor, whereas that of an adult has a trill* less than 71 per cent, of water. In a word, the child’s brain holds marly 20 per cent, more water than the brain of the adult. The brain cells develop with the growth of the individual, th * average of tin m multiplying in size by about 450 times, while some of them increase as much as 10,000 Gmes. Tlie growth of tin* brain is due, however, not only to ihe increase of the cells in size, but also to the multi plication of tin* brain cells. The bigger the human being the more brain cells he has, other things being equal,, nn I this point has been studied out quite expen sively wifh frogs, the largest frogs being found to have the greatest number of cells in their brains. The first eight years nre the nv'st Im portant of a child’s lif*\ for the reason mentioned, and it is urged that school education ought rot to begin until <h’s period is about ov- r. But it s'ill 're mains to be determined how many hours daily should be given by the chi’d to study. It has not been ascertained defi nitely whether the child is helped er hin dered by competition, and a good many o*her questions in this same line remain unanswered. One thing deem'd certain is that school children, g • norally speak ing in this country and elsewhere, are overworked. There are seventeen mil lion pupils in the public schools of the United State*, and it goo a wk'ioip say ing that some of He m arq much feebler mentally and physlcnGy than other -. Nev ertheless, the pace is set by *hc capacltv of the stronger and smarter ones, and all arc formal along foge-ther always to the detriment of the weaker and less clever. r Amor|onn AVliiskle*.
