Rules for Spelling Children.

Try to forget as much as possible that
you were young yourself.
When they amuse themselves torment
ing animals, look and laugh.
Always tell them to hit back when an
noyed by neghboring children.
Tell them all the lies you like and half
kill them if they tell you one.
When they tell you they won't do a
thing, laugh at them and let it go.
When they fall and hurt themselves
scold them for their awkwardness.
Dress them in style that they will be
afraid to play for fear of spelling their
clothes.
Make religion such long-faced pokey
thing that they'll hate the name of 1t as
long as they live.
Don't give them anything to read but
bible stories. Sabbath-school books and
dime novels.
Don't give them the habit of kissing
them good night; if you happened to
die they'd be awfully lonely without it.
Tell them it is a sin to be dishonest,
but if they bring you back too much
change from the grocers keep 1t and tell
them to say nothing about it.
Let them sleep till you have started to
work in the morning, and then have
them put to bed before you get home at
night, to avoid becoming too intimately
acquainted with them.
Threaten to tell their father and get
them punished for every blessed thing
they do, so that by degrees they'll come
to the conclusion that father is some
sort OF whipping machine.
Tell them 1t Is a sin to laugh or play on
Sunday, and make the day as dull and
stupid as possible for them. Then,
when they grow up and go to Congress,
they viii be apt to pass bill doing away
with the observance of the day alto
gether.
If you happen to be in a gruff mood
and feel a little palm trying to nestle in
yours, or little arm trying to twine it
self around your neck, give a growl and
snarl out something about wanting to be
let alone. The ofense won't be repeated.

Do Not Dust, But wipe, /,

Who would believe it? The duster-
that peaceful emblem of domestic toll
may, under certain circumstances, be-
come more dangerous to handle than a
six-shooter. We are In dead earnest.
An eminent scientist declares it to be a
fact. Do you know just what you are
doing when you brush away dust? You
disseminate in the air, and consequently
introduce into your own interior, into
your tissues and respirtory organs, all
sorts of eggs, sporas, epidemic germs,
and murderous vibriones which dust con-
tains. One movement with a feather
duster may be enough to poison both
you and your neighbors-to inoculate
you all with typhus, varioloid, or chol-
era-strange as it may appear. Instead
of a feather duster take cloth; wipe
away the dust, instead of stirring it up.
In short, wipe-never dusti- Vol-
taire

The Pope as a Farmer.

How many people are there, asks
Land, who know that the Pope is a
farmer2 Such is the fact, however, and
there is reason to believe that his Holi-
ness makes a very good thing of 1t. Leo
XIII. is, however, neither grower of
cereals nor raiser of stock, but a
breeder of fish. The lagoons of Com
macchio are thus turned to profitable
use. Eels are the staple food and sew
eral tons OF cooked eels are sent from
the lagoons every Lent. The fish come
up in immense shoals from the Adriatic
and are fed IN the lagoons on other fish
provided for them, until they are nicely
fattened, when they are killed and
cooked in a vast kitchen.

THE blacksmith often Injuries the wood
work of a carriage by fitting his irons
when too hot If the wood burns ever

down should never be allowed to work
