A Little Talk on the Ways and Wants OF
Children.


Half Of the badIy-shaped mouths that
are the sorrow OF the young women OF
to-day result from their having been per-
mitted when they were children 10 suck
their fingers. one of the prettiest women
In the town has coarse, thick lips that
come from her having been allowed when
she was going 70 sleep 10 put her thumb
into her mouth. while another, whose lips
pretrude In the corner and whose mouth
is large, blames her mother for allowing
her to find consolation in her two fore
fingers.
IL persuasion will mot break a child OF
this habit, then stronger means should be
resorted to- and IL necessary its hands
should be tied together. Another very
unfortunate habit among school girls. and
which results In thickcning the lips and
making them supersensitive, Is the con-
tinual biting of the lower lip. The entire
shape OF the face is spoiled in this way,
for when nature moulded IL there was no
intention that the lower lip should be
larger and a coarse look given to the
face
A well-known writer upon subjects per-
tanning to children said i'm a recent aru-
Gle that all children under ten years OF
age are naturally cruel and fond OF tor
turing helpless animals. insects, etc.
Now although the writer evidently
meant Well by his remark, and In his
article goes on TO explain how a child
may be taught TO have sympathy for
weaker party, yet l think that he was, TO
say the least. very much mistaken when
he said that children under ten years OF
age are naturally cruel.

torture to the animal or insect, and see
how quickly their sympathy and compass

TO hurt It. and they did not know that
they were doing So Therefore, l say that
they cannot be naturally cruel, but are
naturally ignorant that there Is the slight
est harm in what to them Is SIMPLY
"fun." because they make the animal or
insect move the faster or cry the louder
think, however. that parents do their
children great injustice by neglecting TO

MAN Was MADE TO MOURN.

The poet Burns contemplating the
hard life of the Scotch peasant said
"Man was made to mourn"
Man was made to rejoice.
Mourning comes, but only at intervals.
When the veins are filled with blood
and the system is at the proper pitch
life is full of enjoyment.
Every thing seems to rejoice in the
very thought of life.
Existence only becomes insupport-
able when disease sets in and over
powers the system.
Then life becomes distasteful and
wearisome.
If you feel this way, oppressed with
gloomy thoughts and borne down by
weight of sorrow, get box of the
Laxative Gum Drops and take them
according to directions. You need
adopt no particular precautions in re-
gard to them but take them until your
digestion is regulated and your system
is in its normal condition and in per-
feet health.
They are perfectly harmless.
