DEVELOPING THE CHILD.
Let Him Push, Wrestle and ScuffiR
ALI He Will-The Hest Method
of Teaching.

We must promote the child's growth
by healthy surroundings, fresh air and
sunshine in the schoolrooms, abun-
dant rest and nourishment and suitable
exercise. We should encourage the
child TO play, to use the great trunk,
shoulder and the thigh muscles. For
these are now ready for use.
Let him push and scuffie and wrestle
all he win. Do not keep him quiet too
long, or keep him too long at any one
task. For brain and muscle are now
very easily wearied. Do not cramp
his fingers over writing exercises until
nature has developed those finer and
younger muscles and their correspond
ing centers in the brain.
The child enjoys every sight and
sound. Nature stimulates, but never
forces, the growing intellectual CEN
ters in the child only in so far as we can
interest him. Otherwise, he does not
respond to the stimulus with the de-
sired reaction of growth. If we force
upon the child studies in which he has
no interest, if we stuff and cram his
mind with information which rightly
belongs to a later stage of his develop
ment, the result must be disappointing,
If not injurious. The success of a
teacher should be measured not SO
much by the amount of information
which the child acquires as by the
growth of the child's appetite for
knowledge.
Under our present SYSTEM and modes
of teaching one of the commonest and
most noticeable results of a course of
study III school or college is that the
pupil permanently loses all interest in
that branch OF knowledge. Such a
course of study can hardly have con-
tributed greatly to intellectual growth
or development 1t was either ill-timed
or wrongly taught.-Boston Tran
script.

various Ways for Women to Pass
Their Time In a Profitable
Manner.

Spoon crazes and monogram fan cpl
denies have been succeeded by ra-
tional and useful mania, and that is
that each one has her own special
hobby, the more useful and practical
the better. One person has chosen
plates for her specially and plates OF
all sizes and shapes will SOON adorn
her rooms. Each place on her travels
win be remembered by plate, while
all her friends and relatives have been
notified that plates will be most ac-
ceptable for birthday gifts. Another
lady has the unique idea Of collecting
a set of anniversary cups and saucers.
Whenever her wedding day rolls
around she adds a cup and saucer.
One fair maiden, bride-to-be, is max
ing collection Of fine towels, and they
are beauties, all embroidered with the
colors Of the rooms they are to be used
ina dozen in red, dozen in blue, and
so on.
Cut glass makes charming collec-
tion, and it is surprising how quickly
the pieces accumulate. A lady whose
homeis exquisitely dainty confessed she
saved her dimes most religiously and
then waited for bargain in what she
was wanting. A collection of dainty
'mouchoirs" is the pride of every girls
heart, and handkerchief" parties are
quite the thing. Each girl brings her
work; it is such fine opportunity to
show off ones dainty thimble and gor-
geous chatelaine with its scissors and
other work box attachments. Sewing
is rapidly coming to the front as a
fine art, and taking its long vacant
place in the accomplishments of the
nineteenth century maidens.
An apron craze is also evident, from
the sheer gauzy affairs to big prac-
tical colored aprons for kitchen use.
A collection of aprons is a most accept
able gift to a young housekeeper.
A very intellectual girl regards books
as her fad Each one is duly inscribed
and sine points proudly to a case filled
with them, each one a souvenir Of some
city, time or memorable occasion. Still
another collection is being made of
Chinese and japanese articles of all de
scriptions. This is a most interesting
study and the case is filed with every
thing from a fine antique vase to q
hideous Chinese idol.
Photographs make charming fad,
and collection shown of Chicago
views is a wonderful revelation of how
much natural beauty there is here, if
one only looks for it.-Chicago Times

A change is coming over the feminine
taste in the matter of underlinen. 1t
is now no longer one mass of lace and
frills. In fact frills, even on the hens
of the garments, are distinctly out OF
vogue, and now the whole attention is
given up to cut. A simple real Yalen-
ciehnes trimming round the neck, with
tiny baby ribbon and the initial en-
broidered on the left shoulder, is the
latest smart thing to wear. But the
cut-that is the difficulty; for all the
beauty of these delicate undergar-
ments depends entirely on the fit. Com
binations are dying out, except for BIZ
cycling and active sports.

pastel blue cloth skirts make very at
