BONE OF THE MISTAKES MADE BY
THE "EASY GOING" MOTHER.

Is the easy going the ideal motherP
After prolonged study of those who err
In other ways and unconsciously often
with the purest motives, work great harm
I'm the baby lives intrusted to their care,
one is almost ready to believe that the
ability TO "let alone" IS the most valuable
trait in a mother. Yet on looking closely
into her ways and noting the results of her
rourse that belief is sadly shaken. Let us
observe her little.
The home of the easy going is overrun
by babies, that being the easiest way to
pet along. Now nothing is sweeter than a
Wholesome baby but who-bcsides its
mother-wants it always in the fore
ground, it's dressing the most important
event of the family life, the details of its
breakfast occupying the whole household
md its nap throwing a spell of enforced ST
lence on every one within the walls.
Out of the cradle the children become
even more pervasive; nothing is forbidden
them and no care is taken to teach them
the difference between use and abuse. lu
consequence there is not clean or whole
book on the premises, not a chair that is
firm, not a table unmutilated Boys ride
the spring furniture and harness the
chairs if they do not hack and destroy to
the top of their bent. Girls bang the
piano, take tea" in the parlor, scatter
rake and doll rags at will.
They think they have good time; so
does their mother, who consoles herself for
present discomfort and the alienation of
her friends by the belief that they will out
grow all this lawlessness. "Boys will be
boys" is one of the first articles in her
creed IT is as if a gardener should let the
weeds grow up among the flowers in the
belief that they can be m ore easily disposed

getting that the strong growing weeds will
long before that time have crushed the life
out of the flowers and that even if by great
labor they are pulled up and eradicated
then they will leave a SCARED and scanned

A Cure for badness,

Is the human race in the near future To
be entirely bald on the top Of its head,
where the hair ought to grow? is ques-
ton agitating tonsOrial circles and the
manly victims thereof. Some people are
born bald, some achieve badness and
others have it thrust upon them, and it is
with the latter class that the distressing;
consequences of modern living have tia
most to do AS everybody is cognizant,
the glory of man as well as woman is his
hair badness Is venerable, but it is not
always venorated, and then it is frightru!lv
inConvenient. In a woman art supplies
nature, but unlucky man has no such
remedy that cannot be detected, and how
ever indifferent to appearances he made be,
it is not in his disposition to meekly sub
nit to the trouble it entails.
a wise parent afflicted by loss of hair
should take u lesson in hirsute develop
ment from the lower classes in Europe and
give his offspring the benefit. Whoever
saw a bald workingman or shopkeeper in
France? Whoever found among the peas
ants of Europe shining pates? The reason
for this natural matching is a most simple
one; these people live outdoors, unbonnet-
ed and it is only when man becomes recll-
less and superrefned in his living that
the hair falls. So much for civilization.
But having discovered that civilization,
not to say dissipation, is at the root of fin
de siecle's hair falling, why not counter
act this difficulty by starting the little
chaps Alright, not merely in the paths Of
virtue. but by taking away their hats and
caps and making them go bareheadcd un-
til they are fully grown? One of these
days the wisdom of some of the Old World
customs will strike home in America and
it need not be called anglomania either

Feathers are prepared by exposing them
tothe sunshine or in a stove until perfectly
dry and then beating them TO remove dust
and loose dirt. When carelessly collected
and dirty they may be clcansed with lime
water or, still better, with a weak solution
of carbonate of soda, or with water con-
tanning little solution of chloride of lime,
after which they are rinsed in clean water
and dried as before. Old feathers are puri-

Ruskin on Girl Rearing.

"You bring up Your girls, says .Ruskin,
"as if they were meant for sideboard orua-
ments, and then complain of their frivol-
ity. Give them not only noble teaching,
but noble teachers, and give them the help
which alone has sometimes done more than
all other infuences-the help of wild and
fair nature. You cannot baptize them
rightly in inch deep church fonts, unless
you baptizc them also in the sweet waters
which the great Lawgiver strikes forth
from the rocks of your native land"
