Children's Questions.

Probably none of the questions
raised by wit or philosophy ever
caused more helpless perplexi
ty than those by which fathers
and mothers are hourly besieged
when their children's young ideas
begin to shoot. Tho inquisitive
ness of these miniature philoso-
pliers is generally regarded as
one of the provoking yet irresis-
tible prettiness of childhood, and
unfortunately, it is not simply ad-
mired as a mere prettiness,but it
is treated as such. Parents ap-
parently, if not actually, ignore
the fact that this ceaseless flow of
inquiry is one of the means by
which the moral and intellectual
character of their children is to
be formed. 1t is sad to observe
what miserably shuffling replies
are often given to questions
worthy of careful answers, whilst,
in other cases, the most foolish
and cruel of all expedients is re
sorted to by saying, Children you
should not ask questions. Trul y,
parents consult expediency rath-
er than prudence, and the line OF
least resistance seems to be the
law of morals as we'll as of me-
chanics.
1t may be objected that it is
quite impossible; and, if possible
not proper, to answer the num-
berless queries with which child
rem confront their elders. Surely
it would be treating Children as
innocent, rational beings, to tell
them frankly, when they ask i'm
proper questions, that they shall
know when they are old enough.
1t is unkind of any one, though a
lack of time, to hurt child's
mind by a hard rebuke when eag-
erly questioning; we should, ,rath-
er.promise attention at the earli-
est leisure moment, and strictly
fulfill the promise. Parents would
not lose iota of filial respect, ,rath-
er the reverse by promptly con
Tossing ignorance when questions
exceed their knowledge; it may
be painful to do so, but anything
is better than to tell a child a
falsehood. Ifpossible,search for
the informotion at once, letting
the child see your patient inves-
tigation, for children are imita-
tors, and soon learn to copy,with
a certain amount of pride, tie ac
ton of their elders. This system
of mutual discipline may be very
troublesome, but what is the re-
suit of following the path of indo-
lence and convenience?-LOndOn

Irish Potatoes

The Irish people are the great
est potato eaters in the world
and know all about cooking that
fine esculent. We copy their
mode of boiling potatoes from an
Irish paper:
''Put the potatoes in a pot OF
kettle without lid or cover, and
with water just sufficient to cover
them. After the water comes
nearly to a boil pour it of
and replace it with cold water,
into which throw a good portion
of salt. The cold water sends
the water from the surface to the
heart,and makes the potato mea-
ly. After they are boiled and the
water poured off, let them stand
on the fire fifteen minutes to
dry.

A Beautiful Incident

The Bible tells US that woman
is to be a help mate to man, and
the man is to be the support Of
the woman. To make married
life a source of happiness, affec-
ton must rule the hearth of both.
The married pair must be mutual
helpers, one to the other. Then
the conjugal state becomes a
smooth and pleasant road, ,fringad
with fragrant flowers, which
bloom even In the depth of the
Winter of adversely and sorrow:
Ihave read, says the author of
a recent work, beautiful illus
tration of this point: A lady
travelling in Europe, visited, and
took lodging with a remarkable
couple, an aged man and woman.
They were husband and wife.
They lived by themselves, with
out child or servant;subsisting on
rent according from the lease Of
their parlor and two sleeping
rooms. The lady, in giving an
account of the persons, says:
When we knocked at the door for
admittance two aged persons an
swered the knock together.
When we rang the bell in our
rooms, the husband and wife in
variably came, side by side. And
our requests were received by
both and executed with the ut
most nicely and exactness The
first night, having arrived late by
the coach, and merely required a
good fire and our tea, we were
puzzled to undertand the reason
of this double attendance.
When the time to retire
came the lady was surprised to
see both husband and wife at
tending her to her chamber, and
on looking with some seri GUS
ness towards the husband, the
wife, e,noticing her embarrassment
said to her. No offence is intend
ed, madam,my hasband is stone
blind. The lady began to sym
pathize with the aged matron on
the great misfortune of having a
husband quite blind. The blind
man exclaimed:
1t is useless for you madam, to
speakssto my wife for she is en-
tirely deaf, and hears not a
word you say. Says the lady
boarder, here is an exemplifca
ton of compensation. Could a
pair be better matched2 They
were indeed one flesh. He saw
through her eyes, and she heard
through his ears. Ever after this
it was interesting to me to watch
the aged man and his aged part
ner in their inseparableness.
The sympathy for each other was
as swift as electricity, and this
made their deprivation as moth
ing. This beautiful domestic
picture would only suffer fromany
words of comment.-Luthern o.

The First Fuchsia

A pleasant story is told in an
English horticultural journal of
the way the fuchsia gained its
notoriety and popularity among
flower lovers, and its introduc-
ton to the horticultural world:
Old Mr.. Lee a nurseryman and
gardener near London, ,wellknown
fifty or sixty years ago, was one
day showing his variegated treas
ures to a friend, who suddenly
turned to him and declared:
Well you have not in your col
lection a prettier flower than /
saw this morning at Wrapping.
Noe And pray what was this
Phoenix lik.s
Why the plant was elegant,
and the flowers hung in rows like
tassels from the pendent branch
es, their colors the richest Grim
son, in the centre a fold of deep
purple, and so forth.
Particular directions being de-
manded and given, Mr.. Lee post
ed of to the place, where he at
once preceived that the plant was
new in this part of the world.
He saw and admired. Entering
the house he said.
My good woman, this is nice
plant. / Ishould like to buy it OF
you.
All! sir,I could not sell it for no
money; for it was brought to me
from the West Indies, by my
husband, who has now left again
and l must keep it for his sake.
But / must have it.
No, sir!
Herel emptying his pockets here
is gold, silver, copper, (his stock
was something more than eight
guineasl.
Well-a-day but this is a pow
er of money, sure.
'Tis yours and the plant is mine
and my good woman you shall
have one of the first ones rear to
keep for your husbands sake.
A coach was called, in which
was safely deposited our florist
and his seemingly dear purchase.
His first work was to pull off and
utterly destroy every blossom and
blossom bud, it was divided into
euttings,which were forced into
bark beds, and hot beds, were re-
divided,.an sub-divided. Every
effort was used to multiply the
plant. By the commencement of
the next Towering season Mr..
Lee was the delighted possessor
of 800 fuchsia plants, all giving
promise of blossom. The two
which opened first were removed
into his show house. A lady
came.
Why, Mr.. Lee, my dear Mr..
ee,where did you get this flow
er?
Hem, It's a new thing, my lady
Pretty, is it not.
Pretty, 'Tis lovely. It's price?
Mr.. Lee.
A guinea, thank your ladyship;
and one of the two plants stood
proudly in her ladyship's bou-
quet.

you get that beautiful flowerl

left.
The visitors horse smoked off
to the suburbs. A third flower

whence the first had been taken.
The second guinea was paid, and
the second chosen fuchsia adorn-
ed the drawing room of the sec
ond ladyship. The seems was re-
peated as new corners saw and
