your attention give it the terderest mani
festatiohs of affection, saying the gentlest
and happiest things to it. But never
never give it baby talk. That often causes
;rritability in a fine. strong. high spirited
child.
If a child is selfish let it see everyone
about it doing something for the special
happiness Of others. 1t is amazing how
quickly he will respond to the genuine
thought about him; but shams are Of lit
tie use as factors in the true education.
If the child is in a violent fit of temper,
do not speak to it or touch it until you
are Ia perfect control yourself; then draw
its %tenti outside of itself; and while
it is deeply interested remove the imnedi-
ate. the existing cause of the outburst.
Never angrily a~ntagonize the little child;
You must have perfect control of both
temper and judgment before you can dis
cipline a child. When there is a conflict
between the will of the child and the win
of the parents, let the grown-up persons
look well to their mental state before a
course of discipline sets in. Constantly en-
courage and inspire confidence in your
love by good sense and good judgment.
Never prevent a child from exercising
the inestimable, the divine privilege of do
ing for itself and others, and never make
it afraid.
"Gain your brothers confidence, my
dear girl, else you will have no influence
over him. writes Ruth Ashmore, of "A
Sisters Influence Over Her Brother in
the August Ladies' Home Journal"
Force yourself to be interested in what
ever he tells you. Let no escort be as
charming to you as he is. Make him find
pleasure in the same society that you do.
and if for some reason he finds it tire
some, then arrange to go in another set,
but always a good one, which he will APP
preciate and in which he will be appreci-
ated. If you have any accomplishment,
urge your brother to be a student with
you. If you are a good pianist never re-
fuse to play the tune he likes. and If you
can inouce him to take up the violin or
mandolin, or even the banjo, SO much
the better, for then you two MAJ be COM

young man. likes to be remembered. The
tiny token on his birthday. the remem-
brance on the holiday. the little letter of
congratulation sent when he has succeed
ed eithe in his studies or in the bust
ness world-none of the small pleasures
of life are wasted on a brother. A brother
is very often the reproduction of his Sis

which when the sister looked she found
reflected all her faults and most of her
virtues"

Women and weather are not to be
trusted.
Nc season is as brief as a woman's love.
He who has a handsome wife or a castle
on the frontier is never without fear.
A woman may be loyal TO love but
never to lovers.
A woman is a curious creature with long
hair and short ideas.
Girls hair draws more than a ships
cable.
Woman is a guitar, the sweetness of
whose tones depends upon the player.
A few drops of hazelin in water is an
excellent lotion for the ey~elashes. They
should be bathed in it every morning. A
little powdered borax in water is also
good. or sven a still smaller quantity Of
carbonate of soda. But the best beauti-
fer is healthy eyes. No one with weak
eyes can expect to rave long, thick lash
es. Children should be taught not to rub
the eyes. for this is most injurious to
these sensitive organs. If a child has per-
fectly strong, healthy eyes the lashes
may be Improved by occasionally slightly
trimming them. but this should be dis
continued as one reaches maturer years.

The London lancet says that the air
of a room can be charged with ozone by
simply suspending moist linen sheets in
a keen, dry wind, and then hanging them
UP in the house. It is thought the gener-

rapid passage of atmospheric oxygen over
the broad, wet surface of the sheets

Slenderness and grace are the great
considerations in the bracelet, which has
been adopted again with eagerness. The
old time massive bracelet of gold and
precious stones is not tolerated. One OF
the most ingenious novelties is a bangle
with a jeweled pendant. which can oe
used for a lace pin. Another design has
a few magnificent stones mounted in a
cluster which can be converted into a
pendant of hair ornament.
Black and white is as popular q conn
as ever, and black gowns re-
lieved with white and sparkling with jet
are completed by fluffy net or feather
boas. Indeed, white may be called the
universal color, for the trying gray, hello
trope and wood shades are all rendered
becoming by the use of white collars,
Jokes and vests.
Al cool tie is made of a length of dotted
