FATHER AND MOTHER.
Two Noble and Tender Words That Should
BE Oftener Used.


Two of the most beautiful. dig.
nified and noble words in the English
languish seem to be falling into disuse.
They are father and mother. They
are used always by Catholics in refer
ence to their priests and to the SUPER
Tors of their nunneries; bat in home life
they are being supplanted by all kinds
of baby words. 1t is well enough for
children who are just learning to talk
to have some pet names for parents,
and one does not object to the affect
tomato use of "mamsy," nanny"
and such words in private; but even in
the mouths of little children there is
no word more loving and precious
than mother" Now it is common
for grown men and women who are
themselves mothers and perhaps
elderly. to habitually speak of their
''pahpah" and ''mahmah" accenting
strongly the first syllable of words.
These ugly terms are less prim and
conventional than the papa" and
mamma" many other women prefer,
but they are not pleasing to the ear.
''Pa and ma" paw and maw," POPPY
and mommy," are among the fancies
Of other adults; and one hears these
names till one longs for the good old
word, father and mother. imagine
the commandment revised to Thou
shalt honor thy pahpah and thy NAH
mah." or the fine old hymns changed
to Papa of me and all mankind" or
"Pahpah in thy mysterious presence
kneeling." Think of Mahmah In Is
rael; or of necessity being the Mahmah
of invention; or of speaking your man.
ma-tongue. being gifted with mamma
wit, or of loving your papa-land. Let
children have a father and mother,
and let no household be deprived Of
these strong and tender names.-Wor-
cester Spy. !.

Bringing Up the Baby.

Every mother has her own ideas
as to how TO bring up her babies
Alright, and it is a matter on which
few agree. But we often think that
some mothers made a mistake i'm not
treating their little ones as if they
were reasoning creatures. Notice how
pleased tiny little tots are when given
some responsibility. As soon as they
begin to toddle, if taught Alright, they
like to help mother by picking up or
carrying some trifle for her or doing
some similar act. Then is the time to
begin training them to be real helpers.
Of course, it often seems to be a real
bother, for one may do things quicker
without this hindering assistance. But
it is part of the child's education.
Similarly, babyhood is none too early
to begin teaching politeness, and the
proper way is to be as polite to the
baby as to any one else. People some
times think that a child does not
feel discourtesy-we hold a contrary
opinion. Some little Sights that were
not meant as such, offered in our ex-
treme childhood. are remembered to
this day, and all sensitive children
suffer in the same way.-Emily Louise

The following from the New York
World contains a lesson worth ponder.
ing over:
Washington's first Inaugural, deliv-

down to us in history like his farewell
address. Indeed, at the beginning of
the first Presidents first term there
could not have been much TO saw ex-

as they were. are worth recalling and
are suggestive in these days"

emotions with which he bad heard the
voice of his country, never listened to
but with veneration and love, calling
