/ believe in women. believe there are q
hundred good women to one good man, but
if these women want their sols to be manly
they have got to train them differently from
the way they are doing now" That's what
MuldOon says, and there is deal of truth
in 1t.
STRONG ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
What the men and women Of to-day are.
their mothers made them. Fathers usually
play a small part in the training of their
children, unless a boy should be too big for
his mother to whip. and she should feel that
he needed what was known in the house
hold as "a thorough thrashing." This
question of Furnishing children has, Of
course, been discussed and rediscussed ever
since that brutal woman on the other side
tortured her child so it died. In the first
place, you might as we'll expect every day
to be like the day before, as to hope to train
every child after the manner Of the other.
There are some children to whom a real,
good, old-fashloned spanking is as neces-
sary TO their health and morals as is
spring-time dose of sulphur and
molssses. There are others whom this
would degrade to such degree that it
would be sin 20 administer it. In my own
memory there are two boys who didn't
mind spanking any more than they did
having to eat warmedrover rice pudding,
but who, If they were sent upstairs at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, forced to undress
and

would hide their heads with shame, shed
some bitter tears, and only by persuasion
could be induced to eat the good supper
brought up to them. So you see, what is
punishment for one is not for another II l
could rule all the mothers in this country, /
think would advise never to strike a girl,
forl don't believe blow ever does girl any
good, and it may do her great deal Of
harm. Girls are very much like the thing
in which they so often look-a mirror and
If they are trained with gentleness and con-
sideration, they are very apt to return the
same virtues for value received. We COM
plain that children are impertinent. Who
sets them the example Of speechs They hear
everything lightly spoken of, and they see
no reason why they shouldn't speak as their
elders do. We laugh at the high-hown lam
guageof fifty years sgo-perhaps it was
with more dignity, and it imbued them With
respect. If you want loving children, good
children and well behaved children, you need
not put them in black holes and hang them
up, as was the little child across the water,
but you can carefully train them up in the
way they should go, and they will be to you
living, loving Joys.
PLEASE HANDLE WITH CARE"
The other day saw the composition Of a
schoolboy lying on the desk of a typewriter.
Never realizing that papers of great impor-
lance came to her. and thinking that his
essay was the one thing in the world worth
considering, he had written on the cover in
large letters, deliberately quoted. Handle
with Care" Just those three words seemed
a bit of lesson to me, and wondered how
much we grasp roughly that we ought to
handle with care
Do we handle with care the words we
speak3 If we did, there would not be so
much that was misunderstood.
Do you handle with care the disagreeable
opinions we have of other peoplea If we did,
they would not find out how much we dis
liked them.
Do you handle with care the woman
whose mind is tainted with envy, and
whose speech is full OF malice? If we did,
we wouldn't lend the listening ear to her.
Do we handle with care the feelings of
the friends who love US? II we did, there
wouldn't be so many heartaches.
Do we handle with care the little people
who come to lis? If we did, we would have
honorable sons and loving daughters.
Do we handle with care our four-footed
friends9 If we did, we would get a harvest
of atfectionate barks, Of wagging tails and
of eyes full of love.
Do We handle with care the hearts Of the
men and women that are about us3 don't
think we do. In the race OF life we don't
seem to have time to stop and do as the
Samaritan did but-we rush along, and are
only too apt to simply send to the sufferer
our regrets that other engagements pre-.
vent US from personally Offering our con-
dolence. -..
A western man paid me lovely compli-
ment the other day-he put in print that
wasn't afraid to give my opinion Of any
thing on earth, in heaven or in hell; and he
is perfectly right. l am not. because my
opinion is my own, and cannot be bought
But when I see people and acts that are
noble and honorable, handle my pen with
care and bow down my head low as l
write of them. Suppose you handle with
care your friend BAD.
