PARENTAL RESTRAI MT.

1t has frequently been noted by
-.TsrsroDserverS OF men and things thar
those children who are brought up
with little parental discipline develop
into more capable individuals than
those who are are compelled at home
to obey the strict letter of the law. 1t
would seem that the old rule "Spare
the rod and spoil the child" is contra,
dlcted by experience. Yet if we OBJ
serve this matter closely we can hardly
draw this deduction. 1t is certainly
true that child brought up without
any freedom OF action, controlled at
every turn he takes, is very apt to be
enervated by the process. He has
learned nothing nom experience and is
quite likely TO yield a slavish obedience
IN the outside world where no obedience
is demanded. In short, to use an old
phrase, he has all the spirit taken out
of him, This rigid home discipline is
happily rare in the present day. Only
strong intellect can survive without
being weakened by such an education.
All the spirit of the present day, In
schools, as well as in home life, is to.
ward greater freedom of action on the
part of children. Students have meet
ings of their Own, pass laws of their
own, and are placed on their honor. as
it would have been impossible to do
fifty years ago.
Yet to day there can be no doubt
that the average schools are better

disciplined, and the average student is
more of gentleman than was the case
even score of years ago, when petty
espionage was part of a disciplinary
system. The outside observer is quite
likely to look upon the present state of
things as wholly lacking IN discipline,
but such is not the case. The child
who IS allowed to grow up heller. skelter,
with no parental control or care, may
develop into all able, reliable, lntelli.
gent individual, but the chances are
against him. He is not to be con
founded for moment with ore who,
though continually subject to parental
care and guidance, is yet given his own
free will and is made a fellow worker
with his parents, and not a servile slave.
The one is allowed to run riot like
rank weed, the other to grow to his
fullest capacity like a well-nurtured
garden plant.
Boys and girls should be allowed to
have an individuality of their own; to
to have room and belongings sacred
to themselves alone, where they can
bring their friends; and while it is
necessary of course that the parent
should always exercise a supervision
over everything, it should be a gentle
supervision. They must become con-
fidants of their children, and must
themselves have lived such true and
loyal lives as 10 be worthy of such con-
fdence. Children who have been
brought up in an atmosphere of truth
fulness, OF high ideals, who haye not
been pampered with the qualification
of selfish whims, are not likely to 60
far astray. The silly mother who allows
her maternal love to control her COM
mon sense, who does not control her
children when she sees evil impulses
and evil passions taking possession of
them, is of course the weakest and
most Objectionable parent, and the
evil she has ignored, or even encour-
aged, may be the destruction of her
child and bring her to shame and con-
fusion. The everstrict mother who
gives her children no experience and
no life of their own makes almost as
bad mistake. The right course lies
between the two. The discipline of
home should be an ever watchful care
and which guides and warns, without
compulsion, and yet is an effectual as
compulsion.

SURPRISING ELIZA.

John Roberts was veil TO do farmer
of North East, but he had always been
eccentric about his clothes. Until this
occasion he had not been known to
buy new suit of clothes for years.
The ones he wore had been so often
patched and repatched that no bit of
the original warp and woof was visible.
This personal slovenliness on the part
of her husband was a source of Con-
slant annoyance to Mrs. Roberts who
was woman of exceptional neatness.
She became so ashamed of his appear
auce that she would no longer accomp-
any him to town to do her trading
This singular characteristic OF the
farmer was not owing to penuriousness,
for he was liberal man in all his
dealings.
On this occasion he went to town to
do little trading, and, to the utter
astonishment of the town, he purchased
new suit of clothes tor himself. His
new clothes were done up in a pack
age on the wagon-seat beside him
when he started home that night. 1t
was a dark night. Farmer Roberts
had got half way home when a brf I.
liant idea struck him. He stopped
horses on bridge where the road
crosses the creek.
I'll do it, by gun! he said.
I'll do it, and s'prise Eliza.
Thereupon the farmer rose up in the
wagon and began to take off the
patched and repatched clothes he had
worn so long. As he removed a gar
ment he tossed it into the creek until
he had tossed them all in ard had
nothing on but his shirt.
Great applesass he exclaimed, but
won't Eliza be s'prised!
Then Farmer ROBBERS reached for
the package that had his new clothes
III. 1t wasn't on the seat. He got
down and reached under the seat.
The package wasn't there. Then he
felt all over the bottom of the wagon.
The package wasn't anywhere on the
bottom. Farmer Roberts stood up in
the wagon and tried to look back along
the pitch-dark road, while his only
remaining garment futtered in the col
night wind. Then he climped back "
his seat and away went the horses fc
home. The night was chilly and tn
were three miles to 60. When
farmer reached home and climbed
