HINTS FOR MOTHERS.
When your daughter performs a task
in an ill-fashionel manner, always
say: "Thcrc! I might as well have
done it myself in the first place." and
then take the work out of hei. hand
and do ityourself. This viii cncour-
age the girl not to try to do the thing
next time she is set about it.
Never permit your son to nave any
amusement at home. This will in
duce him to seek it in places where
you will not be annoyed by his noise.
There is no place like home. I'm
press this truth upon your children by
making home as disagrccablc and un-
like any other place RS possible.
Never neglect the lock on the pantry.
Some boys have probably turned out
hrst-class housebrcakers all on account
of this judicious treatment in early
childhood.
Never permit your children to con-
tradict. Let them know that is your
peculiar prcrogativc.
In Gliding your childrcn's faults,
never forget TO mention how much bet
ter the Jones children behave. This
will cause your little ones everlasting
ly to love the Jones children.
Take frequent occasion to toll your
children .hOW much more favored their
lot IS than yours was when you were a
girl. 1t is always pleasant to children
to be constantly reminded Of their OBJ
legations.
Don't let your son indulge in any
kind Of outdoor games. Keep him ut
his books. 1t will make q great man
! of him some day, if he should happen
to live.
Your girls should never be permit
tea TO r"mp. Let them grow into in
tcrcsting invalids, by all means.
BE gentle and courteous before com
pany but if you have u temper, lot
your children have a taste of it as often
as convenient. a mother should never
practice deception upon her brood.
Talk slightingly of your husband to
your boys and girls. This will make
! them respect their father.
Tell your child he shall not 10 q
thing, and then let him tease You into
giving your consent. This will teach
him what to do on subsequent occa-
sions.
Make promises to your children, and
then neglect to keep them. Thi:; viii
lead your children not to place too
much reliance upon your word, and
shield them from many aisappnint-
incnts.
When your boy gets comfortably
seated in the caSy-chair, take it from
him. This will induce him to apprc-
ciatc good thing when he grows
Older, and stick 10 ia seat in n
crowded horsc-car, for example.
Tell your children they arc the worst
you ever saw, and they will no doubt
endeavor TO merit your appreciation
