. A study of a child. 7- a Ecke—but, das ist ein EckeP I heard him saying to himself to-day, boa-constrictor, then hug, and bones, as if hewere puzzling about them. He is always inquiring aboutwords, why they are called thus and so. He asked 186. 1896 DRAWINGS—SIX TEARS OLD A, an engine facing you on the track, with the childs explanations ; B, a key-stone. SEVENTH YEAR to-day, What does hemisphere mean — half round?The circle of his engine track suggested it. He setthe track upon the edge of two chairs to make anelevated railroad, after having run it contentedly onthe table for a long time. He is fertile in inventionand adaptation. To-day he repeated the entire storyof The Old Woman and her Crooked Sixpencewithout a pause, and when he reached the partwhere, after the cat had drinken the milk (as hesaid), the cat began to kill the rat, the rat began tognaw the rope, etc., etc., he grew breathless and ex-cited and could hardly say it fast enough, it called the pig a piggie wiggie, and omitted theword yonder, explaining that he feared the little chil-dren wouldnt understand what it meant. He alwayshas so much trouble himself to find stories that he canunderstand from beginning to end that he sympathizeswith others
