Almost as soon as you open the door,
you can tell whether or not the baby is
king. You must step softly for fear of
awaking him; you must hand over
your choicest Erinket or arouse a COM
motion which is likely to excite the
disapproval of the entire household.
You must visit with the mother dur

house breads the sound of his voice,
for it is usually raised into a howl, and
he, knowing that tact, used it most
effectively. He depends upon it TO

When you hear mothers say that
their children cannot be brought up
methodically, you may set it down as
a fact that the trouble is in the mother,
not the children, as she would have
you believe. 1t is true that one set of
rules will not be found equally good
for all children; but the chlId does not

AVOID SLANG.
view.

Among the bad habits which many
girls contract is that Of using slang.
There is nothing more annoying than
TO hear a girl constantly using slang;
and introducing in her ordinary talk
expressions which are almost profane.
They show an element of roughness
and a lack Of refinement and disregard
for purity Of speech, all Of which are
essential to the make up of true lady.
Persons Of good breeding will, as much
as possible, avoid the society of those
who persistently use slang.
1 happen to bepersonally acquainted
with a young lady, who is very pretty
and who dresses well, and but for this
one fault would be an attractive young
woman. Every attempt to be agreeable
is marred by her impurity of speech.
The girl who uses slang may have ad-
mirers, but they are of her class; no
refined and well bred person seek such
companionship.
The use of slang is only a habit, and
it is so easy to acquire it. ALI who have
been so unfortunate as to fall victim to
the habit, should study the matter
carefully, and such will then be con
WINGED that it is degrading. Then be-
gin at once to avoid it.
Not only should girls avoid slang,
but boys also. 1t is the forerunner Of
profanity. = Lille Cain, Macoupin
County, Ill.
We heartily concur with the writer
of the foregoing article. The cognomen
Sweet girl graduate" is sadly at vari-
ance with the slang uttered by these
graduates Of our high schools and col
leges, and ofends every lover of pure
English. No charm is so powerful as a
low, sweet voice in conversation, and
the owners of such always use simple
but choice language that makes them
leaders in scciety.-Rural World.

Tommy Atkins,
As1ORY OF A PRETTY GIRL AND
A SOLDIER BOY.

IL was quite a romance in the begin
ming, rather funny in the middle and
ia the end positively ~audacious.
Little Gertie Kingston, driving a
pony along a country lane that skirted
a big field in which a battalion Of sol
diers were exercising. pulled up to
watch them when, without the least
warning, down went the front rank on
their knees. An eff ser shouted ''FireI'
and eff went. the pony as fast as he
could lay his legs to the ground.
Remembering a very steep, unpro-
tected declivity not more than a mile
ahead, the frightened girl, she was
only thirteen, set her feet against the
sp'ashboard and pulled desperately.
She cut her gloves to ribbons. but Bob
galloped on with speed undated, and,
dashing round a corner, almost plunged
into q company Of soldiers
The men sprang rtg1G and lett-all
but one. He MADE q leap aG the ruua-
way and caught hold IF bis bride.
Terrified anew. the pony dragged him
some little distance, cut failing TO
shake him IF, eventually gave up the
struggle.
o: course, Gertie burst into tears
when quite sure the danger was over.
So the soldier got up beside her and
drove her half 6 mile on her way.
I've only a shilling" che said,
of5ring the coin. Il wish it was a
sovereign. If you tell me your name,
UncIe John will send you one l thank
you very much, and I shall never for
get that you saved my life"
The soldier took the shilling and
eyed it comiCally. He was a well-set-
up fellow, and he looked very hand
some in his red coat. 80, at least,
Garrie thought.
I can't take this, don't you know"
he said, smiling.
But won't you tell me your name9'
she urged, thinking the smallness of
the reward was the reason of it's non
acceptance.
The soldier laughed merrily.
With pleasure. It's Tommy At
kins. Private Tommy Atkins. Now,
don't you forget it"
And, with another laugh, off he ran,
Gsrtia watching him, very sorry that
tha despised shilling was all she had.

this is why 1 ask space for the follow

The character of the work of the

humanity exists. DreEs suits and the
plow are hardly compatible, but the
man Of worth is what is priced. No

wife, " and while there ere honest law

sion. Whoever heard a woman whose
