. Raising Children.

Children should be set out in the nurS-
cry at as early period in married life
as is consistent with good taste.
When very young they should be kept
quiet, not too much exposed to the
light. 1t is usual to engage some old
and experienced expert to attend to this,
and the direction in which the "twig is
inclined at this stage is generally the
ruin of the parents peace of mind for
two years.
Milk is said to be good for babes, but
there are so many patent foods now
sold at the drug stores that milk may as
well be done away with. Give the child
something that you don't know any
thing about and it will thrve--possi-
bly,.
Don't cross the child whenit is small
1t will take so kindly to having its own
way chat it is really cruel to insist on
parental rights in the matter.
Learn tue little coots to "crow" as
early as possible, Take them in your
hands and toss them up rs high as YOU
can and iounce their digestive organs
all out of place. This is a genuine
raise Of children.
As soon as possible put the green
baby into carriage and push it along
the sidewalk, running into everybody
with il and gathering admiring crowds
at the crossings toworshipit, This will
give the little one some idea Of the way
OF getting on in the world in later
years.
1t is good plan to hurry up a child
in the matter Of walking. The soonera
child walks the more bow-legged and r-
repressible he will be when he grows up
just the moment the child lets 90 its
mothers apron-strings plant it in the
neighbor's front yard. This will save
your own lawn, while the little fellow
digs up the turf and carries away the
lawn Of the neighbor in his little red
whcelbarrow.
Train the child to appear in COM
pany, Urge him forward. There is
nothing like it, Visitors so much adj
mire to have children climb and crawl
all over them in their gentle, prankish
way.
A good share Of dirt makes a child
grow, Soap and water is useful, how
ever, once 4 week, TO enable parents to
recognize their own children when they
call them into dinner
Let them have their own sweet ways
always. They will retaliate in the fu-
ture by not letting You have yours but
what matters thatP
Never allow noighbors' children on
your premises, The hateful things will
influence your own children for bad.
Allowing your children to play with
your neighborS' children on their prem
ises, however, has sanitary effect on
those benighted little frauds, and il is
your Christian duty to see that your
children mngle in this manner asmuch
as possible.
The best dressing for children is the
sole of a slipper. 1t should be gently
swayed in the air above them and APP
piled vigorously once in u while.
Good clothes, pretty clothes are an
elaborate necessity for the little ones, If
YOU are an SlS-busness-suit man, you
can afford to dress a child on a $50 silk
velvet, brass button basis.
When children get big enough to 90
to school-well, you will be astonished
at the remarkable unanimity of the
school teacher and board of education
in relieving you of all rights, privilege
and authority You won't have any
thing more to do but sit with your hands
folded and see these servants Of the
public make precious little prigs Of
your darlings. -Ncw Hdren Register.
