 We should 90 live that when the sum- mons comes 10 be a parent is will 6nd us prepared. Like a tkief in the night, al an hour when ~e think not, like ,hun- derbols from clear sky, the call may come 10 us Le, the aighs-lamp, there. fore, be trimmed and burning, and the alum where ye can lay hold on 1, a, any time. But, above all, we should make ourselves conversant ~ith those little par iamentary rules which must geven the conduct Of the paren, in his or her social contact wi,h the child. 4 few sng1es- tions upon what constitutes etiquette and shows good breeding in this branch of society. readily marking and contrassing the cultivated paren, and dissinguishin9 him or her rom the vulgar, the s.ide, the plebeian, the eanaiiles as we say ia France), the James Crow and the sans culostes parent. might not be ili-simed or inopportune.
 ln wiping child's nose be extremely careful to leave the nose. Some parents use so much unnecessary strength in do- ing this that they find when i; is soo late that they have wiped the nose of pet child into space. Nothing gives more pain. Nothing can be more pi,iful than the child's 6rsi look of sorrow and disAp- pointment when he starts to wipe his nose and discovers thA, is gone. Pause, foad parent, while the wipe is in it's incipiency, and resolve tha, you will spare its nose. IL can be of no use 10 you. and the loss of it will be a constant source of Anney- ance to the child.
 Teach your child the beauty of frank. ness and open taador toward all im- press upon him the beauty of being wha, you appear 10 be, and hate deception ey- eywhere. If you will iondle him and do,e on him in society and jerk him bald headed in the sec.usion of the home cir cle. he will readily understand what you mean. Children soon learn tha, fl you hug their little g.f,ards flat while visitors are about, and then, when the home life is again resumed, you ,hAow them down cellar and wear out table leg on iheir chubby limbs, that life is real, life is ear. nest, and the square-soed, open, frank policy is not generally in use.
 Parents should impress upon their chil- dren the beauty of self-sacn6ee and self abnega,ion. if they know what ,ha, is. don't. If there should be but one piece of pie, give it to "poor sick papa" It may kill him, and after the funeral your young life will be one prolonged halleluJ ah and rose-,inted whoop' 'emgp lizal ane.
 Parents should not be constantly sus- pieious of their childsen. This will in- evi,ably breed hypocrisy and unreliabil- ! fly. if you fear that your son Is playing nin. n.oooY do no, hreas down vout consf, i. tuition and bring or deluium-sTemens, hanging around the pool-.ables watching xll night for him. He will look upon you with dis,rust, and 70 doub, a; last tell you to go and soak your head.
 Do not constantly tell your boy "how tall'' he is-tha, he grows like weed and finally make him think he is a giraffe. If you keep l; up you will finally make a round-shouldered, awkward bashful beanpole ou, of mighty good. looking boy. If every tall boy in thi, country will agree to lick every wooden. headed man who tells him how he does grow will agree 10 hold the coat o said tall boy. 1 am now dealing with a subject of which happen to be informed The same rule applies 10 girls as well. Il you wan, to make your daughter fail oveI the piano and yearn to climb tree when eves she sees anybody come towards the house, tell her what a grea, swallopins tom boy she is getting 10 be- h thu, way, if parents act judiciously and in con. cert, we can soon have a nation of young men and women whose manners and car. riage will be as beautiful and symmetri cal as the plaster zst of sore toe
