ra,l:hi1itx of Human Judgment.

Yet, after all, isn't it rather curious
weakness in human beings to care for one
another's opinions? Why should Jones
mind what you or think of him OF say OF
him, when you and are almost certain to
be wro2s? Nay. why should he mind
what the majority think Of him, when the
majority are usually wrong? what the
cultured minority think of him, when the
cultured minority are seldom right? what
an entire generation think OF him, when
the next generation may reverse the YER
dict?
An accurate history of criticism, for ez.

only the historian should owe no fealty tc
what was current; he should stand so far
apart from present human thought that
eit its most cherished conclusions should
appear to him only shifting waves in ar

moraIities may be vices, our vices virtues,
our orthodoxies follies, our rascals heroes,

The KindIier Country Way.

Now it is inevitable that the Andliest
people living in cities should fall into
greater reserve of manner toward stran.

where people know all about their neigh
bo-s. In a city you cannot nod to every.
body you meet on the street; there is not
time for it. You cannot even call on those

more guarded intercourse, which is Ger.

country way, but is not easy to lay aside
Again. the mere possession of a new &C
quaintance, ss such, is 9 privilege to one
who habitually lives an isolated life, but
is not thing so eagerly desired by those
who live in a crowd all the time, and have
rather to acquire the habit Of defending
themselves against numbers. Indeed a
great deal of what is called hospitality in
thinly settled regions and new communi-
ties has no especial unsel6shness about it,

that coffee destroys the snen Of musk,

that the first vapors of the coffee were not

Tenants of a Scotch Laird.

The Highlands and Eebrides are the
home of romance. There is legend for
almost every step you take. But the cruel
est of these are not so cruel as, and none
have the pathos of, the tales of their OVID
and their fathers wrongs and wretched-
ness which the people tell today. The old
stories Of the battle field, and Of clan
meeting clan in deadly duel, have given
way to stories of the clearing of the land
that the laird or the stranger might have
his shooting and fishing as well as his
crops. At first the people could
not understand it. The evicted went
to the laird, as they would have gone
of CID, and asked for new~-hone.

Pope Leo's Abstenious Life.

Like Napolean, Leo XIII. does a great
deal OF work and takes very little sleep.
He rises at five in summer ard six in win
ter His TO: ct occupies half hour, after
which he i.:sses an hour in prayer and me-
diation rs preparation for Mass, which
be says every day in one of the private
chapels of the Vatican. He oficiates at
the altar with exemplary devotion and
there is an exceeding grace in all his move
ments, whether in the sanctuary. in his
garden, in his library or when holding g
public audience. At eight o'clock the Pope
takes his cafe au lit and roll. Leo XIII.
is one of the most abstemious of men, and
the entire expenses of bis table do not
average more than 81 day the whole year
round. 1t must be remembered that the
Pope always takes his meals alone.-Pitts-

MANAGING CHILDREN.
Why They Should at All Times Be Given
Something to Do.

SSAAoSA~
An important point in managing
children is to always have ready some
thing for the little hands to do at those
times which come quite often on rainy
and other days when, tired of play,
they listlessly gaze through the
window or wander aimlessly about,
not knowing what to do with them
selves. Children at such times are q
great trial to the busy and often nerv-
Gus people of the house, and are quite
likely to be scolded, though such a
course is 80 unwise and unjust that it
can lead only to the worst results In
the child's future. Calm and reprov-
ing words, kindly spoken, are neces-
sary with all bright children and are
usually very effective, but words ut
tered in sharp, scolding tone must in
most cases work an injury to the child's
disposition It is all the more sad, be-
cause the matter could be so easily
managed by a very little attention on
the mothers part
How often we hear mothers or older
sisters say to some little child who is
full of desire to do right if it only
knew how: 'Do get something to do;
how lazy you are; ] never saw such q
good-for-nothing child. I am sure l
don't know what is to become OF you, !"
and a great deal more OF such talk,
which, alas, most people have heard
too often. The child at such times is
not in fault. It is the mothers duty to
see that suitable work Is always ready.
and she should require the child to do
q moderate task for which she should
not be afraid to give due measure OF
praise after it is done. Always be care
full to see that the child is not kept too
long at one task as such q course would
be worse than idleness.
It is worthy of note that the work
given to child has a great influence
in molding the mind and taste. A child
kept always at knitting stockings Or
cutting carpet-rags will be very prac-
tical, perhaps too much so. a wise
mother will have a variety OF work,
both useful and ornamental. Some
parents think it useless to teach boys
to sew or knit. It is not, however, for
there are many times in boys life
when such knowledge may be useful.
I have often observed that many col
lege boys could mend their own clothes
while they were quite up in their
classes. think the subject should be
thoughtfully considered by parents.
seeing to it that time should never
hang on their children's hands for
want of something to do.-AmsTican

Improvement in Our Schools.

The schools should be an aid to the i'm
provement of mans estate. In no way
has so much been accomplished in this
direction as by new inventions, by me.
chanics or artisans. The improvement OF
our material surroundings places human
ity on a higher plane, and enahlOs.s .shose
who care for 1t to obtain the education In
classics, ETC., which they may desire:
The tendency in the public schools should
be to educate youths so that man may
be better able to deal With his material
surroundings.
That can Ls done in connection with
the mere book education now given. But
it is not done. A small departure in that
direction has been made in the normal
training. This needs to be carried fur
ther. The expensive higher branches
should be Topped off and more aid given to
those who need it. The old methods
must give way to modern ideas. Improve
ment in the school system is badly needed.
