THE HABIT OF WRATH.

A great deal las been said in recent years abous
the physical training Of children and the duty ~
parents to provide their little ones with abuhdnns
fresh air and whoes, exercise while comparatively
little is said concerning the necessity for cheerful
and equable social atmosphere about the home
great many children who born In luxury never
feel the refining influence Of gentle cultured home.
The moral atmosphere about them Is poisoned by
the evil temper and want OF restran OF parents WEI
little realize how often they shock the delicate
scnsibics of little whose fine nervous orgai-
lsms have not become accustomed TO these changes
In the home atmosphere
The nervous system Of q little child Is peculiarly
delicate and sympathetic The most serious dis
rbance to It's health must result from the continuI
shock OF domestic broils and rude explosions OF
temper. And II Is we'll known that such disturbances
leave permanent mark upon the physical rs well az
upon the moral nature OF the child. The wDess
physicians OF children consider the English system
OF the nursery q most wholesome and wise one. BY
this system the children are left to grow up In
world OF their own, away from the Jars ara excite
ments OF more mature life. the anxietes Of which
they very often share alphabetically. though they
do not understand them. and are not brought up ~
the experience and wisdom which only comes with
mature years. Suffering to child's mind is an
eternity while II lasts. He does not see beyond 1t.
There is a spirit OF righteous Indignation which
no should be without. For "anger,' says
wise writer, "is a sincw OF the soul, aud he who

Of purely selfish persons. who make the atmosphere

With ungoycrnablc temper is usually weak person
who takes this miserable manner of asserting his

whose lot II Is 10 live with q husband who Is
confirmed gmmbler and whose temper Is SO con-
nually at a white heat that he can hardly be
looked upon as reasonable being. 1t Is above oil
things the duty OF parents to curb the temper OF
their little in childhood and TO teach them that
such n display Of anger Is coarse and d grar efal.
The older members OF the family often laugh at the
spirit OF the child when they should correct II.
