Mother and Child.

The ideal mother, like the ideal
teacher, is an artist rather than a sci
enlist; and although she bases her art
upon knowledge of underlying sci
entific principles, her skill is shown
in producing effects which are appar-
emily natural and unstudied. She
keeps herself in the background, pro-
viding opportunity for the observation
OF desirable objects and activities, and
allowing the child to do his own OBJ
serving.
She leaves him free to follow his
own impulses, and if the impulse is
leading him astray, she manages to
suggest thought which turns it in
a new direction. In conversation she
let's the child lead, answering his ques-
tions and responding sympathetically
to his comments, thus awakening in
him the new thought which naturally
grows out of the old. She remembers
always that it is the child who must
do the growing-that when she has eX-
pended the utmost care and thought
upon his environment, when she has
tried to discover and to provide the
surroundings which will best promote
his physical, mental and moral growth
then she must stand aside to wait and
watch while his life unfolds freely and
spontaneously from within.-Rosema-
ry Baum, in Harper's Bazaar.

Experts in fine embroidery have
their hands full at present.
Hand embroidery figures conspicuous
ly on the new gowns, and the dress
makers are striving vainly to find
workers who can do the artistic tasks
required.
Fine lingerie. too calls for an inf
mite amount of dainty hand embroid-
cry, and even when the trimming is in
lace and insertion there is at least
an elaborately embroidered monogram
on the under garment.
In Paris the monogram is not the
last note of fashion in lingerie making.
The French woman now prefers to
have a symbol in place of her mono
gram, and racks her brain for an eff
fective device that will in some way
suggest her personality.

Beautifying the Simple PnrasoI.

The deft-handed woman who aspires
to pretty parasols, but does not care to
spend fortune on them, will be a
busy and happy creature this sea-
son. Most of the summer styles in
sunshades lend themselves easily to
partial reproduction by the clever am
ateur. For instance, sunshades Of
plain silk are trimmed with graduated
rows of black velvet around the edge.
The effect is charming, and the sun
shade thus trimmed is third again as
expensive as the same sunshade un-
trimmed. Any clever woman accus-
toned to fixing" and fussing can trim
her sunshade of pink or blue, lilac or
white silk, to look exactly the same
as the Paris importation. Another
fancy is lines of narrow black velvet
running up from the outer edge toward
the centre of the parasol. Between
each pair of ribs are from five to seven
lines of velvet, the centre one reaching
half way toward the tip of the para
SOL the others being quite short. This
effect is very pretty and when closed
the sunshade looks like a handsome
striped silk. A simple black velvet
ribbon edge is effective on a parasol
of pale hued silk, and this is "wrin-
kle'' of the season and very easy to add
to ones modest priced parasol.
Even the splendiferous lace and chif-
fon creations can be further glorified
by the amateur, and yet not wear a
homemade air. Many of the most
costly parasols owe their nonchalant
elegance to the careless bunch of roses
or the big chou of ribbon at one side.
These can be added by the least skill
full of parasol owners, as can also
ruchings of chiffons, applique motifs
of simple design and frills of lace. Neat
stitches, patience and care are the
principal requisites to the beautifying
of the simple parosal and the conse-
quent mystification of the world-for,
of course, the chief joy of having an
artful sunshade lies in it's power to
make the world cape admiringly at
ones magnificence, and to be bliss
fully aware that the admirers do not
know that one did not pay an eXorbi-
tant price for ones beauty and fash
ion.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.

Queen Alexandra's Companion.

A very plain and unpretentious wom-
an occupies today, in England place
which the first ladies of the land
might well desire. Miss Knollys has
for years been the companion and
trusted friend of the Princess of Wales,
and now has as much influence with
Queen Alexandra as any women in
England.
The princesses are devoted to the
gentle little woman. and the king is
her good friend. 1t is said that King
Edward will make her a peeress, in
her own right, so that she may be ELI
gible to one Of the high places near the
person of her majesty.
The question Of places in the new
court is causing many heart burnings,
and, although the new sovereign is too
tactful to make speedy and sweeping
changes, there are removals and ru-
mors of removals. Some of the old in
cumbents have been pensioned. Others
who do not need pensions, have SIM
ply been dropped.
One of the two East Indian attend
ants, who always assisted Queen Vic
toria to and from her carriage, has
already gone back to India, and it is
said that the other will follow. AS a
matter of fact, little that is definite is
known about the prospective changes.
The stock of presentation jewels and
trinkets marked "V. R. L." which was
left by the late queen is being con-
ferred, by King Edward. upon his
mothers friends and servitors.

Around his waist was q cartridge-belt,
with two big "six-shooters" fastened
to it. Fred watched him with wide
open eyes.
When he jumped so suddenly into
the saddle. the pony placed its four
feet close together and began to
buck" The motion that it made was
like that of rocklng-horse. only it
was not nearly SO smooth. First it's
four feet struck the ground together,
then its back feet; and as they went
as fast as he could make them go
right in the same spot, and as he kept
his head and tail down as close to his
feet as possible, it took very good
rider to keep in the saddle.
Fred laughed heartily at the comical
sight, and at the same time wondered
how the cowboy could keep on. But
he did.
Presently he struck his spurs into
the pony's sides, and with one great
plunge he started Off The train had
started, too; and for a mile the cow
boy and his pony kept up with the
train.
Fred grew more and more excited
as the race kept up; and. when at last
the cowboy drew rein and the plucky
little pony dropped behind, Fred got
up and waved his cap. Then he
dropped back into his seat, but you
may be sure he was not sleepy for
some time after that.-Julia D.

The Countess of Warwick, who so
enocl;ed British scc!aty by ODcning

sold her lace and lingerie business and
retired from trade. She is now de-
voting her time and her fine talents to
promoting the education and welfare
of country working girls. A rich dow
ager, whose name thus far has been
kept a secret, gave her 100000 to
carry on this work. The countess is

Tailor made gowns of silk are one
of the seasons demands.
Renaissance and mercerized grena-
dimes are among the new thin cotton
materials.
Shirred yokes are features of thin
frocks, and they will be built over
colored foundations.
"Tantivy Croat" is the name of one
of the new neckties made of mercer
lied cheviot to wear with the outing
shirts.
AS the season advances the odd
blouse is more in evidence Thin
stuffs shirred in diamonds, marked off
with narrow black velvet ribbon, con-
stitute yokes and undersleeves.
Black velvet belts and stocks are
worn with colored shirtwaists. A nov
city is a narrow white pique belt,
stitched and made with silver eyelets
and plain buckle, to fasten like a
leather strap.
Corselet belts prove so becoming
that they are almost universally worn
with any sort of bolero. They are al
most as much trouble to make as a
bodice, for they require to be boned
and fitted with great exactitude.
Linens and wash materials of all
kinds built on severe tailor line, will
be fashionable this summer. The plain
linens and piques, as well as figured,
will be made without trimming of any
sort, save the folds or bands of the
same material as the gown.
Pretty white gauze scarfs dotted
over with printed flowers in natural
colors add novelty to the department
devoted to neckwear. Scarfs of every
kind are in demand, and another pretty
variety is in thin white silk with chine
borders. Others are striped with CASH
mere designs.
The most charming dotted swisses
are now shown in all the shops. They
come in pastel gray with white lozenge
shaped dots, in bonbon green with
white dots and serpentine stripes, in
maize yellow with black lacy stripes
that look like insertion, in violet,
black and white, and variety of love"
ly shades and tasteful designs.

A Race.

Fred was almost asleep. He had
been travelling on the cars for nearly
two days. and all of this second day
they had been crossing the plains of
Montana, where they had been very
little to interest a boy of 10 outside
the car windows.
But, Just as his head was beginning
to droop in sleepy nod. Cousin Ar
thur took hold of his arm. and said:
"Do you see that pony standing be-
side the car? That is a real cowboys
pony"
Fred was awake in a moment. and
he looked out of the window eagerly.
The train had stopped at a station,
but there were no buildings to be seen
except the depot and one other small
frame house.
The pony was standing quite near
the car. his head stretched out and
the reins hanging down toward the
ground.
"When the cowboy throws the reins
over the pony's head" said Cousin
Arthur, "the pony knows that he is to
stand still. Just as our horses stand
still when they are tied"
"Why don't the cowboys tie their
ponies?" asked Fred. curiously.
"What would they tie them tu?"
asked Cousin Arthur; and then Fred
laughed at his own question, for as
far as he could see in any direction
there was not a bush or a post in
sight, to say nothing of tree or a
fence.
"The ponies understand" said Cous-
in Arthur, "and one that has been
trained will not move when he is left
that way"
Just then the whistle blew for the
train to start; and. as it whistled, a
cowboy, the owner of the pony, dashed
out of the little frame building and
jumped upon the pony's back
He wore broad felt hat. a bright
red shirt bandanna handkerchief
tied loosely around his mock. and y
pair of leather breeches with the hair
left upon that part Of the leather
which formed the front of the legs.

The word "tobogganing" in most
minds is indissolubly associated with
blanket costumes and frosty weather;
but in Peraka a state in the Straits
Settlements, where blanket costumes
are unknown and where the weather
certainly isn't frosty. there exists a
sort of distant relation cf this sport
which is probably not enjoyed in any
other part of the world.
There is huge granite slope in
the course of n mountain river. down
which the water trickles about two
inches deep, the main stream having
carved out bed by the side of the
bowlder. This rock. the face of which
has been rendered as smooth as glass
by the constant flow of the water dur
ing hundreds of years. the Malays-
men, women and children-have
turned into q toboggan slide.
Climbing to the top of the rock,
they sit in the shallow water. with
their feet straight out and a hand on
each side for steering. and then slide
down the co feet into a pool of water.
This is favorite sport on sunny morn
ings. as many as 200 folk being so en-
gagged at a time. and sliding so quick
ly one after another or forming rows
of tive. four, and even eight persons,
that they tumble into the pool . con-

How "righting Mac" Found His sword.

General Hector Macdonald began
life as a Diapers assistant. but find
ing it toe humdrum he went for a
soldier. This was quite to his liking.
He saw plenty of service. and be-
cause he was fond of scrimmage
they gave him his well-known nick
name. So good a soldier was ne that
rarer honor 20 years ago than it is
now-and as lieutenant he went
through the first Beer war. In the
disastrous battle of Majuba he lost
the claymore that had been presented
to him by his brother officers. After
the fight, Captain afterwards ColoneD
p. F. Robertson. of the 92nd Gordon
Highlanders, had talk at Newcastle,
in the Transvaal. with Joubert, the ia
nous Boer general. who died during
the second Boer war. Robertson was
curious to know why SO many of the
British officers were killed. and Jou-
bert told him the Dutch marksmen
took aim specially at them. The rea-
son was that the officers were all rich
men who could come and go as they
pleased, whereas the "Tommies" were
all poor. and had to serve their time
and do their fighting. whether they
wished to or not. for that was how
they made a living. Moreover the
Boer farmers had. Joubert said. no
quarrel with private soldiers. and
didn't want to kill single one of
them. Then Robertson told Jopbert
about Hector Macdonald and his lost
sword. "Ah." said Joubert. that
brave man must have his sword again.
l will search the Transvaal for it.
and offer G5 reward for it." Joubert
did search, and found the sword in the
possession Of a farmer. who. on learn
ing the story, parted with the clay
more without reward Fighting Mac"
had the pleasure of receiving his good
claymore from the hands of General
Joubert himself in the Dutch town of
Newcastle-Cassell's Little Folks.

went to spend the night with friend.
During the entire night he betrayed
much restlessness, which kept the host
wide awake, and finally the slumberer
betrayed signs of violent emotion.
"He's going to have nightmare said
the friend, ''but he always grumbles so
when you wake him up that hate to
disturb him." He waited awhile lon
ger, sitting up in bed staring on the
miserable sleeper, and finally, becom-
ing alarmed, he reused him. He sprang
up in bed, glared wildly around and
said: "Where am 1? I don't see the
storm"
"Why, here in my room," said the
host soothingly. 'You remember you
staid all night with me? l beg your
pardon for waking you up, but you car
ried on so had to-"
"Beg your pardon" gasped the guest.

you. l dreamed was out with Miss
Bud, and a terrible storm came up. and
my shoes were new, and was just

reused me. Old boy, you have saved
