CORRECTING CHILDREN BEFORE COMPANY.

| There are some parents who will, un-
hesitatingly correct their children for
their misdemeanors in the presence OF
company. They argue that II child
wilfully misbehaves before strangers,
1t is but just that he should be punish
ed before them. I think this a very
grave mistake. Children should, un-
doubtedly, received correction for their
bad behavior, but it should certainly
be inflicted in private. Owing to q
child's tender years and lack Of sense,
much charity should be allowed for his
shortcomings, and too great severity
should be avoided in his discipline. AT
all hazards, pride of character should
be stimulated and preserved In child
rem. And the humiliation Of having
strangers witness their punishment is
destructive of such pride. The school
boy, after receiving his first whipping
in school, never has the same pride as
before. He assumes a reckless, I-don't-
care air to hide his humiliation, but his
pride receives a blow from which 1t
never recovers. Again, all family fric-
tion and scenes" should be sacredly
guarded from the eye and tongue of
outsiders. To preserve the family dig
every member Of the home. And then,
too, no refined person wants to be made
the spectator of other peoples domestic
squabbles!
In company with a friend once call
ed at the home Of a lady acquaintance.
In the home was little girl Of years,
to whom my companion presented a
little gift The child accepted it, for
getting to return thanks. The mother,
in a quick tone, said: "Why, Carrie,
have you forgotten your manners?'
The timid child, not understanding
her mothers reproof, became confused
and made no reply. Again the mother
lexpostulated, with more severity. The
child was so embarrassed that she was
unable to speak. "You naughty girl, +"
said the mother sternly, I shall punish
you for such behavior" Taking the
little one by the arm, she led her to a
closet and shut her in it. How slight
was that child's breach of etiquette,
compared with the mothers impolite-
ness in having such a scene before WIS.,
itors not to speak Of her unwise mode
Of correction. The pleasure Of our call
was marred, and for the sake Of the
little child in the closet, we made a
very short stay.
On another occasion while dining
with a friend, her 6-year-old boy acted
very impolitely at the table. The moth
er quietly told him to behave, but TAX
ing advantage of the company to "show
of" he continued his pert actions. The
mother excused herself from the table,
and in a very quiet tone told the boy
to follow her. They were absent from
the room several minutes, but when
that young man took his seat at the
table he was as orderly as a deacon,
and there had not been so much as one
unpleasant word from the mother. If
you would preserve your child's pride
|of character and avoid an unsavory
reputation for yourself, let your gov
|erning be done in strict privacy.

WHAI The SIGN SAID.

A store in One Hundred and Twenty
first street, with q laudable desire tC
satisfy customers, had the following
sign painted and hung in several con-
spicuous places: Money refunded, OF
you can exchange for anything in the
store"
The regular customers nodded ap-
provingly when they saw this, as the
rule Of the house had previously been
that no goods could be exchanged.
The first day that the signs were up
several sums of money were refunded.
When the store opened the next morn
ing the signs were gone, and literary
man was engaged to write one less am
biguous.
There was reason for this. Late In
the afternoon of the day the signs were
used, a young man from downtown
bought a pair Of 5O-cent suspenders in
the store, and a few minutes after
wards approached a floorwalker and
said they were unsatisfactory.
VERY WELL" said the floorwalker, af-
fably. do you wish your money
back?"
mo-" replied the purchaser. II be-
. lieve I'll exchange"
Just as you please" said the down.
floorwalker. will you have another
pair of suspenders?"
II think not; I'll just look around
and let you know when I find some
thing that suits me-"
In less than half an hour the down.
town young man called the f1oorwalker
to a counter and said, That's what
want; those with the silver backs" "
And he pointed out an expensive toilet
set, which comprised military brush
es, silver mug and shaving brush, ra-
zor, manicure set, soap box, and fine
leather case to keep them in.
But you are joking" said the floor
walker. They are worth 20 pairs Of
suspen6ers."
II can't help that" replied the other.
I'm taking you at your word. There's
your sign, Money refunded, or you can
exchange for anything in the store.
This is the anything that suits me-"
They wrangled for while, and the
proprietor was called. He read the
sign several times, and then said,
You are very bright young man. It's
on US this time"
Turning to the foorwalker, he said,
Make the exchange as he desires and
haul down those signs before he has
time to buy anything else"
Merchants cannot be too careful Of
the use Of this wonderful and complex
language Of ours.

THE COUNTESS OF AYR.-At a dance
in the country gilded youth from
town was complaining that there was
nobody fit to dance with.
Shall introduce you to that young
lady over there?" asked his hostess
She is the daughter Of the Countess OF
Ayr"
Delighted, the young man assented
and, after waltzing with the fair scion
Of a noble house, ventured to ask after
her mother, the Countess Of Ayr.
MY father, you mean," said the
girl.
mo, no, no." said the bewildered
youth, II was asking after your moth
er, the Countess of Ayr"
YES" was the reply, "but that's my
father
Utterly at a loss, the young man
rushed off in search Of his hostess and
said the girl she had made him dance
with was quite mad; told him the
Countess of Ayr was her father"

house. Let me introduce you to him

TREE PLANTING IN The FALL.

The question Is often asked: Which
is the better time to set out trees, the
spring or the fall?
The answer to THIS must depend up
on the nature Of the tree or shrub, the
part Of the country, condition Of soil
and climate where the planting is to
be done.
For example, in the extreme north OF
open prairie country where the ther-
mometer may go extremely low, and
what is worse, where harsh, drying
winds may prevail most Of the win
ter, all but the hardest trees are de-
cidedly safer planted in the spring
than in the fall.
II, however. plenty Of roots are saken
and what Is even perhaps of more i'm
portance, a goodly lot Of soil is taken
with the roots, allowing no undue ex-
posure Of them to the air, tree well
planted in the fall is perfectly safe.
Aids to success will consist in evenly
distributing the roots In the new earth
In compressing soil we'll about the roots

acted upon by the wind, in placing
stay wires to keep them snug in place.
Another famous aid is to mulch with
old hay or long, litery manure OIL
leaves, which prevent lifting of the
soil and the penetration of the frost
too deep therein.
In warm countries where the frosts
amount to nothing, the fall Is the time
to plant just as soon as the plants
have come to a state Of rest.
Here root action at once sets in to re-
pair the damages Of removal, and by
the time springtime comes the newly
planted trees are fully equipped for a
new start.
Nurserymen Of the North usually re-
serve the planting Of their young stuff
until spring-a pretty good evidence OF
where success lies.
AS stuff has to be dug or is received
from outside sources in the fall, in.
stead of being replanted at once they
are "laid in by the heels" that is, they
are placed in rows in the ground, near
ly horizontal instead Of upright. where
| they are easily protected, If necessary
by few boughs to keep off the drying
winds of winter.-Exchange.
