MIND YOUR BEGINNINGS.

"Mind your beginnings" said an
in her arms. You would be shocked
if you knew how many mother has
taught her child disobedience, wilful-
ness and deceit before it was one
year old. Baby is in his high chair at
the table and reaches out his little
hand for a knife; mamma says, ''No,
no." but baby wants the knife and
tries again to grasp it; mamma raps
the little fingers, but does not remove
the knife. This may be repeated
several times before the child learns
to obey.
Another mother, not so wise, puts
the knife beyond the child's reach,
and thereby teaches it lesson in dis
ishment when you are sure the child
understands, is the trnest kindness,
and will save many heavier punish
ment in few years. So few realize
how early the habit of obedience can
be found. Let your child know that
when you speak you are to be obeyed.
A good mother has written the
following:
''Did you ever witness the follow
ing? Come, darling to little one
year old, sit is time to go to bed.'
Don't want to- Come quickly with
decided tone of command, mamma
calls, then he runs out on the verenda;
mamma gives chase and, of course,
easily catches the culprit, whereupon
he yells and kicks, so she lets him go
to avoid a contest. There is a lesson
in disobedience.
"'Come pick up these playthings.'
And, as your repeated command is
not needed, you pick them up your
self and and call him a bad boy and
he does not care a straw. There is
another lesson of disobedience.
GLOW can selfshness be taught?
Come, baby, here is your milk Baby
is not hungry, or for moment is at
tracted in another direction. Here
sonny, come drink baby's milk The
there is an angry scream and baby
hurries to drink the milk, because she
does not want brother to have it.
There is lesson in selfishness.
ooh, mothers, mind your begin
nings. You need to be on the alert all
the time. Let love have full sweep,
but that does not mean free license to
the child to follow it's own sweet will.
You think it no harm to practice little
deciets on baby, but alas! how soon
he will have learned the lesson too
well. Never frighten your children
into obedience by saying, Now, if you
do SO I will call big, black bear to
carry you away. There, he is coming

LETTER TO G. P. IENNESS-

Dear Sir: There are two sorts of furniture
You know both; for you sell 'em both. One
sort looks better than it is, and the other
is better than it looks. There isn't any other
sort.
The same, two sorts of paint, no more; and
we make 'em both-we make tons of stuff tn at
isn't worth its freight. Belongs to the bust
ness-have to. Belongs to your busin ess-
you have to.
But this is aside. We put into cans, with
our name on, the very best paint there is in
the world: Devoe lie ad and zinc. It is twice
as good as lead and oil: lasts twice as long.
And we take the risk of it-there isn't any
risk.
Yours truly,

DO OUR CHILDREN PAY?


itself up to the time it reaches that
interesting age? Sometimes l think
not. Thought so yesterday when my
own baby slipped into my study and
"scrubbed" the carpet and his best
white dress with my bottle of ink.
He was playing in the coal ten
minutes after clean dress was put
on him, and later in the day he pasted
fifty cents worth of postage stamps
on the parlor wall and poured dol
lars worth of the choicest "White
Rose" perfumery out of the window
''to see 1T aUGin."
Then he dug out the center of a
nicely baked loaf of cake, and was
found in the middle of the dining
room table with the sugar bowl
between his legs and most of the con-
tents in his stomach.
He has already cost over 500 in
DOCTORS bills and feel that I am right
in attributing my few gray hairs TO
the misery endured walking the floor
with him during the first year of his
life.
What has he ever done to pay me
for that?
All! [ hear his little feet pattering
along out in the hall. [ hear his little
ripple Of laughter because he has es-
capped from his mother and has found
his way up to my study at forbidden
hour. But the door is closed. The
worthless little vagabond can't get in,
and won't open it for him. No,
won't. 1 can't be disturbed when Pm
writing. He can just cry if he wants
to. won't be bothered for-''rdt, tat,
tat,' go his dimpled knuckles on the
door I sit in silence.
"Rdt, tat, tat.''
I sit perfectly still.
"Papa."
No reply.
"Peeze, papa"
Grim silence.
"Baby tum in-peeze, papa"
He shall not come in.
"My papa"
[ write on.
"Papa," says the little voice; 81 lub

stretched little arms, with shining
eyes, with laughing face. 1 catch him
up in my arms, and his warm, soft
little arms go around 10Y neck, the
not very clean little cheek is laid close

Does he pay?
Well, guess he does! He has cost
me many anxious days and nights.
He has cost me time and money and
care and self sacrifice. He may cost
me pain and sorrow. He has cost
much. But be has paid for it all again
and again and again in whispering
those three little words into my ears:
81 hub papa"
Our children pay when their very
first feeble little cries fill our hearts
with the mother love and the father
love that ought never to fail among
all earthly passions.

A TREASURE HOUSE.

People often make the excuse for
not trying to improve themselves, by
reading and study that they "cannot
find time.'' We may not "find' time,
but we can "make" time for the thing
that really interests US.
If Gladstone with the weight of an
empire on his mind, thought it neces-
sary to make time for self-improve-
ment, always carrying a book in his
pocket lest an unexpected spare mo-
ment slip from his grasp, what should
we common mortals not resort to to
save the precious moments?
The fact is, most people manage.
somehow, to make time for the thing
which lies nearest their hearts, and
there are very few OF us who lead
such busy lives that we cannot spend,
Systematically, at least few minutes,
half an hour or an hour out of twenty
four, for the minds Improvement.
Even half an hour a day, systemat-
icaIly and faithfully devoted to study,
will do wonders in few years.
Every young pSISOu SHOulu SIdIu
out with a determination to invest as
much as possible in himself. This self
Investment is the best one can ever
make, for no panic, bankruptcy, or
failure can destroy it.
Every good book you read, every
line of poetry you treasure up, every
conscientious visit to an art gallery
or museum you make, every glimpse
of beauty, art or nature you get, will
add just so much to your personal
value, and will be worth more to you
than silver or gold.
Gladstone said: "Believe me when
I tell you that thrift of time will pay
you in after life with usury of profit
beyond your most sanguine dreams,
and that waste Of it will make you
dwindIe alike in intellectual and NOR
al stature beyond your darkest reck-
oning."
Scarcely anything else seems SO
positively wicked as waste of time.
If you lose money, you may be able
to restore it.; if you lose friends, you
may get Others; but lost time can
never be restored.-Success.

WHEN PAPA WAS A BOY.

When papa was little boy
You really couldn't find
In all this state of ours
A child SO quick to mind.
His mother never called but once,
And pa was alwaAs there;
He never made the baby cry,
Or pulled MS SIS Cer's ha If.
He never slid down banisters,
Or made the slightest noise;
And never in his life was known
To fight with other boys.
He always studied hard at school,
And got his lessons right;
And chopping wood and milking COWS
Were papa's chief delight.
He always rose at five O'Clock
And went to bed at eight;
And never lay abed till noon
And never sat up late.
He Englished Latin, French and Greek
When be was ten years old,
And knew the Spanish alphabet
AS soon as he was told.
He never grumbled when he had
To do all the evening chores,
And meier in all his life forgot
To shut the stable doors.
He never, never thought of play
Until his work was done,
He la bored hard from break of day
Until the set of sun.
He never scraped his muddy shoes
Upon the parlor floor,
n
And never banged the door.
But truly [ could never see,
Said little Dick Malloy,
How he could never do these things
And really be boy.

The unselfish and loving, who serve
and wait, are often astonished by the
affection and devotion they evoke.
They cannot understand how 80 much
has come TO them when they feel
SO keenly their own poverty of spirit
and are filed with deep and genuine
self dissatisfaction. They are always
sowing the seeds Of kindness, but
when their ways blossom with all
manner of beautiful words and deeds,
they do not recognize the fruit OF
their own sweetness and devotion.
They are always inviting kindness,
affection and trust, and these qualities
are always lying in wait along their
paths in thousand beautiful FORMS

was resting quietly, and that there
