The Wrong and Right Way.

How parents provoke their children-oy
unreasonable commands by perpetual re-

die, alternating with as capricious drop

their own tempers; by shrill or stern tones
where quiet, soft ones would do; by fire.

mistreatment by father Or mother? Bursts
of temper, for which the child is punished
and the parent is guilty, and then spirit

Many parent, especially many father
drives his child into evil by keeping him
at distance. He should make his boy a
companion and playmate, teach him to
think of his father as his confdant, try to
keep his child nearer to himself than any

! Some Valuable Hints for an appropriate
| and Decorous Demeanor.
No gentleman will interrupt q
Clergyman in the midst Of his dis
| course to ask for the text.
A Christian gentleman will not as
sault the choir-master until after the
benediction.
The morning paper should be left at
home, and never, under any circum-
| stances, be taken to church to be read
while the collection is being taken.
| Do not glare at the stranger in your
| pew who has made the mistake Of
| reading from your favorite hymn
| book.
Conceal your contempt for the per-
son who puts meager dime III the
collection plate.
Should the church be insut1iciently
heated put your handkerchief in your
mouth. The chattering teeth Of a
congregation is apt to razzle-dazzlo
the rector.
Do not dissent from your clergy
mans views of things by snorting or
indulging in steatorian ''bosh.@
''Do not draw funny pictures on the
fly leaves of your neighbor's prayer
book.
Don't walk up the center aisle on
your heels just because your shoes
squeak. Let them squeak.
Leave business behind you. Don't
insist upon closing up a wheat deal
with a business acquaintance who has
the pew behind you then and there.
If subscription card is left in your
pew don't write a promise to pay fiji
teen dollars month for twenty years
on it over your enemy's name.
Do not seek to be revengcd up a fell
low worshipper by kicking his beaver
in front of you all the way up the aisle,
and to keep fellow-members out of
temptation do not place your own silk
hat in the aisle where it may be
kicked.
Avoid practical jokes. II your pew
happens to be near the gas nut do not
turn off the gas, no matter how face
tiOus you may be.
Worshipers in the gallery should

HOUSE-CLEANiNG NOTES,
The Proper Way of Cleaning Carpets and
Washing WALLPAPER,

The Proper Way of Cleaning Carpets and
Washing WALLPAPER.
Beyond the regular weekly cleaning
certain articles in a house, as well as
the dwelling itself, must have a
periodical overhauling on which their
welfare and service depends. The in
tervals at which carpets should be
taken up and thoroughly cleaned and
beaten depends upon their texture and
the frequency with which the apart
ment where they are laid is used. In
ordinary cases it is good rule to take
up Moquette, Administer and Wilton
carpets once in three or four years, and
Brussels and velvet once in two or
three. The texture of these is so firm
that the dust does not shift through,
and sweeping will remove all that ac-
cumulates upon the surface. Ingram
and three-ply carpets should be lifted
annually, and if the room is very much
used twice year is not too often. The
housekeeper will even then be astonish-
ed to observe the accumulation of dust
beneath.
To many people it does not seem to
occur that carpet can be crashed.
They would be astonished to see what
an improvement can be made in this
way. Take gallon of water in which
two ounces of carbonate of ammonia
have been dissolved, and apply it with
a soft rag to each breadth. If there be
any pronounced soils and satins, grease
spots or other, procure from your
butcher pint of ox-gall. Mix it with
three quarts of water and apply with
soft scrubbing brush, taking care to
rinse thoroughly afterwards with pure
water.
A large brush of ostrich feathers
is, OF course, the best thing to use in
brushing down wall paper; but, as most
housekeepers know, these are expen-
sive and likely to be soon destroyed if
entrusted to servants. A soft cloth tied
over broom is good substitute, and
quite economical. If these do not
remove the smoke or CRIME that accu-
mulate, take loaf of stale bread,
divide it into quarters, and after moist
ening. the cut surfaces very slightly,
proceed to rub your paper very care
fully, beginning always at the ceiling
and moving your hand downward in
straight lines. The results will be
surprising.
All careful housekeepers secure an
extra roll when having their walls
papered. If by accident your walls
are broken Or defaced at any point cut |
a piece of the new paper larger than
the married spot, be sure it matches
perfectly. cut the edges irregularly or
In points, and apply with a little flour
paste (boiled); the eye will never
trace the mended portion. If there
are any spots of grease on your walls
mix some Fuller's earth with a little
ox-gall and cold water until you have
stiff paste; spread it on the spot and
cover with blotting paper; let it stand
for several hours. If, on brushing it
off any of the grease remains, repeat
the operation. Y Examiner.

Homeless Children.

The American Educational Aid Associa-
ton, which has for its object the providing
of homes for poor and friendless children,
is doing noble work. Since it's establish
ment it has found good homes for seven
hundred homeless little ones. All children
received under the care of the Association
are of special promise in intelligence and
health and are in age from one month to
twelve years, and are sent free to those re-
ceiving them, on ninety days trial, unless
special contract IS otherwise made. A
number OF promising children of both sexes
are now waiting adoption into families

No one is independent, no matter
what amount of wealth he possesses;
for notwithstanding the fact that wealth
cuts an important figure in society,
wealth does NOT make the man. The
millionaire Is dependent upon the result
OF the labor of brain and muscle
for every comfort he enjoys. The
food that he eats, the clothes that
he wears and the FIRE that warns him
are produced by the labor which he af-
fects to scorn; and the newspapers
which keep him informed of fair
of the world, as well as the books OF
history, biography and romance with
which he passes an idle hour, are the
result Of both brain and muscle which
are frequently kept busy in furnishing
the bare necesssries of life. What
would the millionaire do were it not for
the laborer. and how can anyone claim
hat he is independent?
