NOBLE MOTIVES.
Suggestions Regarding the Proper Teach
Ing of Children.

Suggestions Regarding the Proper Teach
ing of Children.
1t seems strange that any mother
who loves her child should ever in
still into his mind anything but tn,
noblest motives for conduct. Children
easily appreciate high motives ant
learn to despise unworthy ones. 1t i.
a great mistake to SIX a child to BIZ
good because some one is looking at it
or for some paltry reward or from fea1
OF punishment. The motive from which
child acts should be more carefully
considered than it's action. Conscien.
tious children are often guilty OF
grievous blunders. The child in sHck
q case needs only instruction, and never
condemnation. So long as the motive
was sincere the action Is of trivial con.
sideration, because it does not affect
the formation of character. On the
other hand, most worthy action may
sometimes be clouded by contempti.
BILE motive. Where it is clearly shown
that child acts merely from love Oh
praise the matter is one for the serious
consideration of the mother. No trail
Of character Is more easily acquired BY
child and none is more disagreeable
or difficult to overcome than that of the
infantile prig. Self-sufficiency is com
mon fault of petted children, and one
that is particularly unlovely.
Until taught by motives of fear OF

child Is naturally frank, and is easily
susceptible to the noblest motives. The
mother should appeal to the little one
to be good and truthful, because good.
ness is lovely and because such course
is the only noble one. It is rare that
the child does not instantly appreciate
the motive. Nature has implanted in
every childish heart q natural love OF
beauty and truth. 1t is instructive fol-
q child to speak the truth until fear
causes him to do otherwise. A vivid i'm.
agination sometimes causes children
to relate wonderful tales of their expe.
riences. This is not to be considered as
untruthfulness, but the habit is one to
be watched, for it may develop in adult
life into an unhappy habit of exaggera-
ton. The child should be questioned
and taught to distinguish between the
unreal world of its fancy and the real
world in which it lives. The habit Of
exact and truthful statement cannot
be formed too early.
All the instruction of the child of to.
day tends to make him methodical in
thought. A bright child soon recog.
nizes inferior motives and estimates ac
cordingly those who advance them. II

AN HISTORIC PITCHER.

Once Upon a Time 1t Belonged to the Ill
Starred Mary Stuart.
Securely locked behind glass doors
and standing among a lot of cups and
saucers of the modern pink-tea variety
there is in the apartments of Mrs.
Dabb, of the Leland hotel, at Chicago,
cream pitcher that figured in the
historic supper which Mary Queen of
SCOTS took the night before her ex-
ecution.
This pitcher, now more than 300 years
old and originally owned by the i'll
fated Mary Stuart, in spite of its ancient
name and fame, is very unpretentious
looking affair. 1t il of thin, white
china, on which is traced a very I'M
obtrusive design in blue and gold, and
does not look unlike the delftware pop

Mrs. Dabb has had the pitcher but
short time, having received it from her
grandmother while on a recent visit
to her home in the east, but ii has
been in the Holman family, Mrs. Dabb's
ancestors, since the sixteenth century.
The Holmans are descendants of the
Plantagenets-the line of kings that
succeeded the Normans-and during
the middle ages the Holmans were quite
an illustrious house. Among some old
family papers which are still in ex-
istence is one referring to the tea set
of which this pitcher was part. This
says that the tea set was bought from
"a certain Mistress Kennedy" and that
K had formerly belonged to her mis-
tress, the queen of Scots. Mrs Ken

queens faithful servant.

OLD OAKEN BUCKET.
How Little Elsie Illustrated One of Her
FavorIte Songs.

dear little girl, named Elsie, was
quite singer, and very fond of an old
song, familiar to most children, called
"The Old Oalen Bucket" Elsie was
taking lessons in drawing, which inter-
ested her very much. She drew pictures
In all her spare time, and often leased
mamma with the question:
what shall draw next, mamma ."
Mamma always suggested cows, or
bears, or steamengines, or trees, ne
cording to the first idea which came
into her head. One day, in answer to
Elsie's usual question, mamma re-
piled:
'Draw the old oaken bucket Elsie
You are very fond of singing The Old
Oaken Bucket Sit down and make
picture Of it,"
This was new. Elsie, with deep
satisfied breath, sat down and staid
quiet about five minutes. At the end OF
that time she brought mamma this
picture:
"What upon earth does this mean?"
asked mamma. at looks like q conun-
drum, Elsie; or like the sun, moon, and
stars!"
Elsie looked at her design with great
pride, and a little impatience at
mammals obtuseness.
"Why, don't you see, mammal" she
cried. THE first one is the old oaken
bucket and the next one is 'the iron
bound bucket and the next is the
moss-covered bucket that hangs in the
well'"
Then mamma laughed hard, leaning
back in her chair, while she held Elsie's
sketch at arm's-length to see it better,
as artists always look at pictures.
"And what are all those little spots
for Elsie?"
"Why-those, mammal" said Elsie.

WOMAN SIGN PAINTER.
She 10 Reputed to BE Far Moe Daring
Than Most Mon.


The newest new woman is Miss Edna
Waymack, of Cleveland, o. Hers is the
distinction of being the only feminine
out of door sign painter in the United
States.
Miss Waymack hesitates at nothing
in her line of business, no matter how
arduous the work. She has painted
huge advertising signs on the face of
perilously steep cliffs, task few men
would undertake. Many large spaces,
such as barn sides, the roofs of houses
and the like, scattered all over the
country, testify to the ability of this
young woman as realistic brush
wielder.
She is perfectly at ease on ladder or
scatfold, and she can scale taut rope
in way to make an old tar blush with
envy. Swinging before the precipitous
face of mountain, she often works for
hours laying on alphabetical color
schemes with steady hand and a touch
that never loses it's evenness.
Miss Waymack has many large con-
tracts for big natural canvases which
she hopes to fulfill this summer. For
the most part, her signs are made in
the interests of several large tobacco
firms.
The most daring piece of sign paint
ing she has ever undertaken is the let
tering on the rough surface of cliff
at Bellefontaine, O. This rock looms
up above the surrounding meadow for
a distance of some $50 feet with sheer
fall of 300 feet to the base of the cliff.
For four days Miss Waymack swung
at the top of this dizzy height, spend
ing about eight hours each day on the
big sign she had engaged to paint.
Every day, and all day long, throng
of men, women and children gathered
at the foot of the hill watching the
woman artist at work in the upper air.
Miss Waymack is accustomed to this
sort of thing, however, and is not the
least bit disturbed by the curious
crowds that usually watch her opera

TEMPEST IN A BOTTLE.
A Very Simple Experiment Invented by
Belgian Professor.

Belgian Professor.
Some ofouryoung experimenters may
be interested in simple device for max
Ing a real ranstorm in a bottle. The
only apparatus necessary is tall bottle,
like the one shown in the cut, and an
ordinary coffee saucer. The bottle is
half filled with alcohol of 90 degrees
strength, and heated IN bath of water
until the alcohol, the bottle and the
saucer are of an almost equal temper
AZURE. Then the apparatus is removed
from the winter, wiped quickly with a
soft cloth, and the experimenter is
ready to watch some wonderful trans
formations inside of the bottle.
The vapor of the alcohol soon rises
and fills the bottle, but the saucer cools
rapidly, and the vapor being warmed is
quickly condensed. Real clouds appear
In the upper part of the bottle, and pres
emily, as the cooling process goes on,
tiny rain drops form and fall just as In
regular shower.
The whole process of the distribution
of moisture on the earth's surface is
illustrated in the bottle. The alcohol
is the ocean or the lake, the air above
1t Is the clear sky, and the warm bath
OF water is the sun. The saucer plays
