OUR UNCROWNED RULERS.

Apropos of children's gifts, what .
complete change has come over the
style OF nursery literature within the
last few years! II is pleasing to note
that the modern child's sense of humor
seems to be developing each year, and
jokelets are even introduced into the
books intended for the tiniest tots. The
small people, too, apparently possess
some knowledge of current events,
judging from the humorous illusions
to be found in some OF the works. But
what the modern baby seems to reyel
in most OF all are the extraordinary
monsters. with amazing names, whose
sayings and doings-really droll and
clever. as rule-eonstitute the larger
proportion OF the new books. Books
of beasts, say the publishers, find a
reader sale than any others.
Every child cannot have the best OF
training in the kindergarten and be
schooled in the latest fads in society.
but every mother can give training
without which all other accomplish
ments will be useless. This priceless
gift is love for the good and beauti-
full and good feeling toward our fell
low men which can only be attained by
overcoming envy and jealousy. Teach
the child 10 observe the perfect and
beautiful. though, like the rose, II be
among thorns which are TO be avoided.
Teach him to commend the good and
look away from the evil, both in per-
sons and objects. This will do much
toward gaining for him the love and
respect OF others. while the habit of so
doing will keep him pure at heart and
free from envy and jealousy-the two
great enemies OF happiness and sue
cess.
The old-fashioned baby carriage
with its pillows and satin. its ribbon
and lace. has had its day. The rich
mans baby will no longer be trundled

Ii the baby In question be in the fash

even the design OF the new perambula-
