tons of their presence and take hold
of the horse at once and break up the

prone to the attacks, and when one
in a stable shows it the rest are al

only in its infancy at the present
moment, though it has ragged with
violence in the few days that it has
been known.
There is no one to blame for bring
ing the disease to New England, and
it has been superinduced by the
weather that has been experienced in
the past month. If the weather
keeps cold the disease will not make
much Roadway, but it is the cold
nights and warm days that make
the trouble so serious. Constant
care and good treatment will work
wonders. If the remedy, as given

considered vulgar. He had horse
for riding, and he was always al

Her hearers understood why it was
that her son had grown up to be
narrow-chested and delicate man,
and were thankful that he was per-
mitted to go out doors at all in boy
hood.
Fortunately this young man had
possessed a strong love for walking,
and also for study, which had kept
him from hamilton, and also out of
mischief. But for an active, full
blooded boy not decidedly studious,
such a bringing up as has been de-
scribed would have meant either ruin
or death.

NERVOUS CHILDREN.

He is very nervous child, and,
young as he is, starts at every sound
Nurse says that he will have to be
humored good deal, as it will never
do to excite him by stern discipline;
and that | must watch him constant
ly for fear of brain fever"
Now, Susanna, l hope you do not
believe a single word of what that
foolish nurse tells you. If you give
him proper food and care your baby
is in no danger whatever of brain
fever; but if you follow her advice
about "humoring him good deal"
he will be in danger of something in
fnitelv worse than the most malig-
nant fever which ever attacked the
physical body, viz, the danger of
possessing a selfish, dwarfed soul.
What is commonly meant by humor-
ing nervous child to avoid excite
ment, is giving unlimited sway to
his naturl selhshness and other bad
passions, and making of him A center
about which all the household ma
chinery revolves. The most natural
result OF this process is the develop
ment of a petty tyrant with ener-
of moral purpose.
Do not, beg of you, fall into the
habit of excusing your boys fits of
ill-temperon the ground of nervous
ness" There will come many trying
times when it will be hard, impossi-
BILE even, to decide how much Of his
peevishness and general disagreeab
ness may be attributed to nervous
disorder, and how much to bad tenn
per. If no other way out of the diff
Guilty occurs to yOu-and harshness
is never safe-yOu may always safely
insist on retirement and rest. If the
child has arrived 1t the age of under
standing, you may say to him frank
ly, in effect, this:
Mother is very sorry you are not
right that the peace Of the family
should be destroyed by the ill-temper
or fretfulness of one member. 1t is,
therefore, best that you go away by
yourself until the difficulty is over
come, and you can bring happiness
instead of discomfort to the home
circle"
If the trouble has resulted from
over-strained nerves the rest is val
liable. If otherwise, or if self-control
be possible, it will speedily be exer-
cised. At least one more emphasis
will have been put upon the grand
principle that, mo man liveth to
himself"
Lastly: Never, under any circum
stances. allow your boy to know
that you consider him a nervous
child" 1 knew child who was al
lowed to tyrannize over all her play
mates because of this, and | have fire.
quently heard her say:
eff you don't let me do this | shall
cry, and then shall have one of my
nervous spells and be sick !"
Alas, alas, for the child of such a
mother! Alas for the home which a
child is reared is destined some time
to make-or rather to mari
A child who hears itself continually
spoken of as very delicate, nervous
child, comes sooner or later to feel a
sort of pride in the possession Of
thing SO potent to accomplish its
own will as that intangible scepter
called nerves" Educate him rather
in the belief that nervousness is a
physical deformity, thing to be de-
plored, and that self-control for the
sake of othersis a gift to be earnestly
coveted. Having done this, you
have started the nervous child" on
a safe road to become a man of
nerve. - Aunt Barbara in Chicago
