What to Expect in a Child's Love,

l do not think we should expect of chill
dren the sort of love of which we our
selves are capable. The child's love foy
the parent and the parents love for tho
child are essentially different, and VIC
may only arouse sort of antagonism in
the young by insisting upon our right to a
self-sncrihcing affection. Let us be con-

al OF ourselves upon our children A de-
gree of sturdy selfshness, however, is the
prerogative Of healthy childhood, and

The Swt Te,nner.

There is no person in the world so un-
comfortable as the person who has a bad
temper, and who INDUCES it. OF course
we know there are all sorts of bad tenn.
pers. There is the irritable one that
springs from excitable or disordered
nerves, and that keeps its posscssor, as
likened to nothing else but n constant
stirging Of hornets. And there is the
sullen temper, which makes life bur-
den to all in contact with it. And there
is the hot and furious one that bursts in
il decorating stroke now and then for an
instant, and directly afterward is as mild
as a mOOnbeam, and expects every one
else to be also.
1t is physical necessity that the pos
SCISSORS of these tempers should in the
moment of anger and in the reaction be
very unhappy. 1t is small cOnsidera-
ton to urge, but woman with this tenn
per loses every chance of marriage that
she otherwise might have, if that is of
any consequence to her.
Those with irritable and explosive fem
pers may have their way in tritles; they
never do in the serious affairs of life.
The sweet-tempered woman always
makes better match than the other
sort does. and she is also the most sue
cessful in the management of affairs and
of resources. Having no tempestuous
tendencies to look out for, person is
better able to look out for interests and
rights, and is even able to get them
through the mastery the sweet temner
allows and helps

where One of Our Well-kn0wn
Names Came From.

The country grew in wealth from the
beginning. writes John Gilmer Speed in
Alnsiee's Magazine, and the foundations
TOR great fortunes, as has been said, were
laid by those who held on to farms that
were near the towns which in time be-
came great cities. A New York instance
viii illustrate this. In the Colonial time
an Englishman named Rogers had q
farm i'll the neighborhood of what is now
Fourteenth street and the Hudson river.
Rogers needed a farm hand, and so he
employed a newly-arrived German emf
grant. What the Germans name was I
don't know and the neighbors between
Greenwich and Chelsea village did not
seem to care. But he came from the
Rhine country and SO they called the
hired man Rhinelander. In time the
hired man married the daughter Of
Farmer Rogers, and also inherited the
farmland begat family. The farm in
creased in value until now, when it is
worth many millions Of dollars. s In the
main, it has been kept in the Rhinelan-
lder,s family, which is one Of the richest
in the country, though no member Of the
family ranks among the very rich per-
sons Of the country. II - s. =. =.

He Refused the Half Guinea.

All great artists have Queer ex,,eri-
ences during their lives, which the bog
rapher loves to dwell upon in his books
of anecdotes. Here is one that occurred
to the great pianist Paderewski in Eng
land. He received polite letter from
all invalid lady, asking him if he would
spare the time to play her one piece dur
ing an afternoon, as her health would
not permit of her going to any crowded
concert room, the letter closing with an
offer of a half guinea reward.
Paderewski replied with an invitation
to call at his hotel, appointing an hour
when he would receive her. The lady
called, and Paderewski, after pleasantly
greeting her, sat before his piano and
played prelude, nocturne ofsChopin,
and Songs Without Words"
The little impromptu concert over, the
lady rose, thanked the virtuoso most gra
ciously, and extended her hand to hid
him adieu, slipping the promised half
guinea into his palm
..Ah, what is this?" Paderewski in
quired.

guinea promised YOU"
