TRAINING A CHILD.

We sturt at the cradle determined TO teach
The babe that no rocking will answer its
scrccch
But when It commences in earnest to yell,
We not only rock IL, but walk 1t MS well.
AS soon MS our language IL half understands,
We spank II with slippers and box IL with hands;
And when 1t shows temper-from seeing our
own
We whollop it hardcr-or leave 1t alone.
When able TO fly from the home nest in search
Ofkpowledge, we mid IL by doses of birch:
When older, the rawhide is making 1t smart
In more ways than onc-though IL hardcns its
heart.
We watch It too closely, or else We are blind;
One day we're too stern-then, too easy aud
kind;
We send 1t to Sunday.school so we con shirh
Its spiritual truining-which should bo home
work
We punish for little things, best unobserved,
And don't when punishment's justly deserved,
We scold 1t so much 1t hceds not what we say,
And make it, If sensitive, keep from our way.
We give 1t commands that can't be obcyed;
We break many promises oughtlcssly made;
We bribe 1t one day and the next we use force
But always we think we're consistent, OF
course.
To train up child in the way 1t should go
Seems not such n dncult problem-although
To Judge by the trainers we have to confess
1T is not in their cases brilliant success.
And yet there's way, and one only, to train
A child so 1t won't of its parents complain
Don't think that your dariug's hopclessly bad
Because it inherits the faults of It's dad.
Don't scod it nor whip it. Just patiently show
Yourself the example of how it should go.
Train yourself-not your child-and by doing
that well,
The second edition the first must excel.

crime in a written statement to-

axe, killing him. He buried the body
and told the family his victim had gone

in the same manner that he
had of the sons body. He denies

could not be il it were hinged.
With each watch there goes guarantee by the
Manhattan Watch Company TO keep it in order
for one year, free OF all charge, and guarantee
from the makers of the case, Joseph Fahys Il
Co., for fifteen years.
The face of this watch is precisely the same as
that of the gold watch and the movement is pre-
cisely the same. The difference between the
two watches is only in the case. The latter is of
oxidized silver, acid eaten very neat and quaint
The movement is the quick train, with straight
line lever escapement, with direct acting
hand-set that permits accurate setting, and will
not allow the hands to move out of position
while setting. In the sweep second movement
the second hand is run direct from the move
ment train, insuring perfect motion, while the
dial train and hands are run by q friction pinion
from side center. This gives all the advau-
tages in time keeping qualities Of the most deli
cately adjusted and expensive movement.
Each watch is put up in q neat box. padded, to
carry it safely through the mails. In the box
are directions for setting the hands and regula-

ceipt Of the watch it does not regulate keep

OF ALL CHARGE. This guarantee is good for one
year during which the Company agrees to
keep the watch in perfect running order
free of all charge. Ali repairs from accidents
will be made by the company AZ actual cost, and
the possessor of a Manhattan horse timer stop
watch is able to return it to the company for
repairs at any tint, knowing that the cost will
never be more than tribe.

Coming across the ocean to the subject
of the cOstuming of American children
for the summer season of 1890, investi-
cation at the very sources of juvenile
fashion indicate clearly combination of
simplicity and picturesaueness. This Is
well illustrated in the toilet of the little
girl with the woman in the picture. The

being merely a muslin frock with q
looped ribbon at the waist. But the hat

outlines, and in hite felt of the finest
and lightest texture, and quite sufficient

to command attention without recourse
to fiamboyant colors or excessive oddly.
The distinction of that whole costume
lies in the hat alone. The same artistic
device is shown in the sketch below,
wherein three playful girls are frooked
in all simplicitj. but capped in
way to finish them off piotur-
esquely. The most expert devisers
aud makers of juvenile clothing
for the daughters of the rich are turning
out, for the summer absences from the
cities, frocks in gInghams, calicoes and
other ordinary fabrics, sometimes with
costly bits of establishment here and
there, but more frequently without any
adornment at all. The best of fits and
the newest adaptation to the figures of
the little ones are requisite in the manu-
