and add to the sugar and grated lem

minutes.
SWEETS BETWEEN MEALs.-There can
hardly be a greater folly on the part
of a parent than to allow a young
child to indulge in sweets between
meals. The eating of candy or cakes
at such times destroys the appetite
for wholesome and strength produc-
ing food at meal time. The child
comes to table and nothing pleases
him; he becomes capricious and ex-
acting, plays with his food, OF rejects
it entirely, that is will not take
any, but Graves liquids to allay the
thirst produced by the stuff he has in
dulged in. I have seen lovely boy,
apparently in perfect health, come to
table and drink cup after cup of tea,
so-called, and not touch a morsel of
food. The mother very innocently
remarked: "He's just like that most
of his time; he hardly eats anything"
Learned the secret of this craving for
drink instead of food; the little fellow
had INDUCED in a package of sugar
plums iniudiciously given to him by
a friend just before dinner time; he
had thereby been cheated out of his
dinner. For once this might not hurt
him, but done repeatedly one can
readily see how much injury the lit
tie fellows digestive organs would
sustain, for candy does not contain
the elements for producing bone and
muscle and blood needed by a'grow
ing child, but it does contain princi-
pies which cause acidity, and condi
tions provocative of verminous disor-
der. If sweets in the form Of cakes
or confectionery are ever to be in
dulged in by young child let it be
in small quantity and at the close of
meal rather than at any other time,
for then, the natural appetite being
appeased, the craving for much sweet
stuff will be lessened, and the harm
done in proportion. Cake and candy
eating should be only occasional
very occasional-if q healthful appe-
tite is to be maintained.-Lad:es'

DoN'r ScoLD.--Mothers, don't scold.
You can be firm without scolding your
children; you can reproye them for
their faults; you can punish them
when necessary; but don't get into
the habit of perpetually scolding
them. 1t does them no good.
They soon become so accustomed to
fault-fnding and scolding that they
pay no attention to it. Or, which Of
ten happens, they grow hardened and
reckless in consequence of it. Many
a naturally good disposition is ruined
by constant scolding, and many a
child is driven to seek associates be-
cause there is no peace at home.
Mothers, with their many cares and
perplexities, often fall into the habit
unconsciously; but it is a sad habit
for them and for their children.
Watch yourselves and don't indulge
in this unfortunate and often unin-
territorial manner Of addressing your
children. Watch even the tone of
your voice; aid above all watch your
hearts, for we have Divine authority
for saying that "out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaketh. -
