TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE

DEAR AUNT JENNIE A sisters
duty to her brother is a subject of
interest to every one of us and no
less a brothers duty to his sister.
Their duty is the same to be loving,
kind and helpful to each other al
ways stunning every manifestation
of a domineering spirit.
This eager desire to rule shows
itself in children at a very early age.
And children left to themselves will
develop a most disageeable trait of
character when coming to the years
of maturity. Men who are possessed
of that undesirable attribute called
''bossiness, p" make hard taskmasters
for their wives and children. Women
possessed, of that un1ovely nature,
if married, become shrews or busy
bodies, if they remain unmarried.
Parents ought carefully to repress
in their own bosoms every uprising
of a selfish domineering spirit, so as
to be able to train their children
right. A parent who domineers over
his or(her companion, may expect to
be SO treatd by their children, when
the weakness and infirmities of old
age deprive them of the power to
protect their rights.
When I see boys and girls, children
of the same mother, each trying to
secure the best for self and the older
ones trampling under foot the rights
of the younger and weaker ones, it

THE ART OF TALKING WELL.

Things to Say and Things to Leave I'm
said in General Conversation.
1t is better to be frankly dull than
pedantic.
One must guard ones self from
the temptation of talking shop"
and of riding ones "hobby."
Whatever sets one apart as a cap
ital Il" should be avoided.
A joke or humorous story is de-
pendent upon it's freshness for APP
probation. Some emotions will not
bear warming over"
1t is no longer considered good
form to say a word against any one.
An ill-natured criticism is a social
blunder. Gossip, too, is really going
out of fashion.
True wit is a gift, not an attain
ment. Those who use it Alright new
er yield to the temptation of saying
anything than can wound another
or order to exhibit their own clever
ness. 1t is natural and spontaneous.
He who runs after wit is apt to
catch nonsense"
Talk that has heartiness in it and
the liveliness and sparkle that comes
of light-heartedness and innocent
gayety, is a fairly good substitute
for wit.
Offer to each one who speaks the
homage Of your undivided attention.
Look people in the face when you
talk to them.
Talk of things, not persons. The
best substitute for wisdom is ST
lence.
1t is provincialism to say Eyes,
sir" or mo, ma'am" to ones equal.
Have convictions of your own
Be yourself and not a mere echo.
Never ask loading questions. We
should show curiosity about the
concerns of others only so far as it
may crafty them to tell us.
Draw out your neighbor without
catechizing him. Correct him, if
necessary, without contradicing him.
Avoid mannerisms.
Strive to be natural and at ease.
The nervousness that conceals itself
under affected vivacity should be
controlled, as should the loud laugh.
Mrs. Burton Kingsland, in the
Ladies' Home Journal.
