Precocious Childhood.
Ths announcement of the death of a
boy of 11 years from old ago was one
of ths stsrtllng Items of news a short
tlms age. Ths boy lived In Minne
apolis and was unnaturally brilliant as
a child, but faded early, and 1n the
oourse of less than a doxen years had
run his courte, snd death came ss It
comes to an old man.
At first SlRht Is seems Impossible, but
physicians say that while it is certainly
Unusual It U possible, and that such in
stances oocur from time o time. The
child la usually large for his age and
develops -remarkable brain- power at an
early age; at ths tlms when- other chil
dren go to school ths poor little marvel
develops into manhood, and when hs
gets through ths multiplication table
his power has burned out and he comes
to ths snd of hla career.
In such an extraordinary case it is
Impossible for the parents to arrest the
abnormal development, but it points the
extremity of danger whloh surrounds
precocious childhood. Ths wise grand
mother who says "You must not let this
child go to school" or "You'll have to
keen this 'baby verr aulet" sneaks frdm
more than an old woman's fearof lnno-
-rvsTtnrr. rr facr fhatT ths' unusually
bright child is In danger of overexcltlng
the . busy brain, and that a failure of
the powers later In life Is too often ths
result of too great stimulation' In in
fancy. .
A little baby's life should be ss
methodical and as quiet as It Is possi
ble to make It. Food and aleeD and
warmth are all ths new life craves at
first, and the lsrger actlvltlss should

show off a baby, to get a little child
to say funny things, and when hs does
ssy them to repeat them In his pres
ence is hurtful, because It overstlmu
lates his self consciousness. .
Tha great danger Is to the nervous
system. The brsln of a little child
grows "much mora rapidly than It does
In later childhood and new Impressions
are stronger. As one physician put it.
the child's nervous system Is pivotal.
The least thing rosy disturb tbs bal
ance. For this reason brain fatigue is
to be avoided for fear of nervous dis
eases, .-St. Vitus dance or meningitis
are orten ths result of too great nervo
and brain strain.
So while the poem of the "Bab Bal-lads"-
regarding the Infant who was
born with .
"A weed In his mouth and a glass In
His eye
A hat all awry.
An octagon tie '. i.
And a miniature, miniature glass In bis
" : eye "
and. who, the mournful ballad relates,
"Died an enfeebled old dotard at five "
may not be altogether Indicative of the
danger of precocity, nor the fatef the
Minneapolis child a common one, It ts
nevertheless true that ths parents of
ths precocious child havs an unusual
responsibility and are to be congratu
lated If they succeed In ; subduing,
rather than In developing, the child's
unusual talents.
