Should Children Be Chastised9

The question whether children should be
chastised is subject on which parents
greatly disagree. In many families the
father shows his belief in the Scriptural
injunction, 'Spare the rod and spoil the
child" by chastising his children for the
slightest fault On the other hand, the
mother often subordinates the impulse to
punish to the impulse of love.
AS a mother | consider that children
should not be punished except for deliber-
ate misdeeds. Many child is severely
whipped because at the breakfast table,
perhaps, she has upset the milk jug or in
the course of play has unconsciously
stepped upon her baby brothers. fingers
In such cases it is cruel to punish the
child. A child cannot exercise the care
that elders do, and even the elder memb ers
of family are responsible for mishaps Of
the same kind,
am largely in favor of moral suasion.
believe that a mother, by the judicious use
of words, can obtain a greater influence
over her children than if she whipped them
on every possible occasion. A child who is
frequently punished grows up nervous and
ENJOYABLE. She has no inclination to obey
her parents except from fear of the rod.
and do not think it is wholesome thing
that rod should be constantly poised over
her head, ready to descend for the slightest
fault.-Cor. London Tit-BitS

On the way he visited his nephew in San

getting deeply interested in his little
mar esake, the firstborn of that nephew

his California relative occasionally for
several years, but young L. p. E. Troy
had heard so little of him that he barely
knew there was or had been such man.

A pretty woman must first Of all have

have full, clear eyes. She must have a

hair that has never known the touch of
bleach or dye. She must have white,

but not Of necessity if it is we'll kept and
white. She must know how to put on her
clothes or she loses half her beauty
She must fully understand what best
suits her in the way of hair dressing and
cling close to that. A woman may have
all these attractions, and unless her own
personality is charming, unless she has

The Oleander Is Dangerous.

Few people know how poisonous the
oleander Isl Children have been known to
die from sucking its flowers; a whole fam
lily has been poisoned by using meat skew
ers made of oleander wood; an infusion Of
its leaves is sure death to all forms of in
sect life and its bark powdered and admin
istered in -four is certainly fatal to rats
and mice. In Bermuda, where the clean
der grows as a hedge plant, the farmers
say that it poisons the grass beneath it's
foliage and that animals will die from eat
ing heritage growing beneath its branches.
While it is possible that this may be a
mistake, and that the animals die from
eating the oleander leaves which have
fallen among the grass, it is certain that
the plant itself is so noxious that it ought
to be banished from every house.-Inter-
view in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

How Girls Look at Domestic Service.

While waiting for change in one of our
stores heard two young girls discussing
their view of the servant girl question 81
never roll my sleeves up no matter what
am doing. 1t looks so much like servant"
Neither do /, and my mother don't. She
don't want to have us look like servants"
Poor girlsl They would prefer to have the
trials-the danger-incident to such life,
with the small weekly pittance, possibly
spending all their scanty earnings to make
themselves look as attractive as possible,
with the thoughts in their hearts-which
they are trained to secretly cherish-that
| theysmight have homes of their own, and
the majority of those girls are more sincere
than their tempters are willing to let their
consciences persuade them, but the idea of
being servant is SO repugnant that the
mother and the daughter in their own
homes are deferred from habits of cleanli-
ness by the dread of looking like a serv-
ant"
Here, it seems to me, lies the keynote of
the evil Domestic service is counted low

cleanliness and arrangement of the house,
Intelligent care of children, simple remedies

too insignificant to be made the subject of

All lines of mans work are equipped for
training in skill and proficiency, and those
who wish attachments bringing honor and
profit must seek them through those ave
nues. The result Is that what is most sp-
propriately mans work and what is purely
mechanical in woman's work are over
crowded, while the homes suffer and the
happiness of families is destroyed for lack

The Inexpediency of Sleeping on Linen.

full of housekeepers who think that there
is no material for sheets and pillow cases
comparable TO linen.
They don't always have it. to be sure,
because it is expensive, but they always
covet it and finger the shining breadths
lovingly and wonder if the time will ever
come when ali these things shall be added
unto them.
