FOUNTAIN, Mimi, Sept. 10.-It seems
rather curious, to look at the subject in
all its phases, that we are led to ask
why is it that parental instruction is all
laid on mothers shoulders. A man is
seldom blamed when a child goes
astray, but the mother is almost sure to
meet with condemnation on all sides.
To me it seems unjust and one sided
affair. Woman cannot say as did
Adam, 1.-THE woman thou gaveSt me
tempted me-" for there is no excuse
for her IN many of the happenings met
with in this life and
SHE BEARS THE BURDEN.
AT one time in my life, and not many
years ago, young couple, with their
firSt-bOrn, were often in the vicinity of
my home, and it was not long before an
interesting scene was unfolded, and it
was the determination of the finely-edu-
Gated parents to make that baby a per-
feet specimen of childhood. 1t was one
ceaSeleSS round of correction, until, at
three years of age, that child was to all
but its parents unbearably fractions,
and unmanageable by either of its par
ents. They only wondered why it
SHOULD BE so HATEFUL
when they had tried to make it good.
That child and many another child has
been governed too much. Sometimes
the little ones want to help do house
work and this is the mothers Opportu-
nifty. Little by little add work that she
can do, as she asks for it; and, dear

Father in the heavens above knows
how great and heavy the burden is that
you fear. The critic stands ready to
condemn your earnest effort, and that
should not for moment cause you to
deSiSt or cease for one hour from your
earnest efforts to rear your child as near
perfection as possible.
When you have done your best, and
feel that you can do no more, only as an
adviser for his or her good in their fut-
ture life, the critic will still be abroad
and you may hear much or little, as the
case may be, but rest assured you have
done your best to make them all that
mortal can be without
MAKING ANGELS OF THEM.
That you cannot do, but do your best
to make houSekeepers of them. No mat

A Chicago millionaire, who used to
spend his summers in OconomOwOc
while he lived. and with his family often
came to my house, had the right ideas
on the subject of his four little daugh-
tiers, and often. said that he had no
surety of their future always being so
easy as one might think, and all that he
could do had been done to secure them
from want; still they,nO more than him
self, were assured that fortune would al
ways favor them. Whatever else might
be Taught them in their education, the
one great and most essential part of
their education was, and must be house
work. To make a good loaf of bread
was greater accomplishment than any
institute of education could give. And
that was the truth; yet, the accomplish
mentS are and were all right and not at
all out of place, but served and will serve
to make the housewife what she should
be, an accomplished woman in her own
home. If wealth takes unto itself
wings and departs from her household,
she can take her place as queen of her
own household and rejoice that she
knows how to bake her own bread and
cook her own dinner without assistance,
and down in her her heart thank her
mother for it.
