Things That sadden Children

Little children are sensitive to their
surroundings beyond the imagination
of grown up people. So many men and
women have forgotten that they were
ever children it is not strange that they
know nothing about what passes In
child's mind and heart.
To wear mourning dress In the house
with little children Is an invasion of
their right to happiness. Somber black
instantly affects child. Usually q
little girl or boy will keep away from a
visitor In mourning garb. Their little
hearts are saddened, they know not
why, when they see the sable robed
| guest at the table or by the drawing
room window.
The mother of young children should
never wear her mourning garments at
home. If she cannot bear to put on
colors. she may dress In white and so

her and depend upon her to give tone
to their daily lives.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
Captive Elephants.

Elephants In captivity have been
known To weep necessarily. Captivity
is borne by elephants with little grace.
All are restless most Of the time, and
some never cease to shed tears. When
an elephant has been unsuccessful In
an attempt to escape, 1t seems that biz
spirit is forever after downcast. Keep
ers Of elephants under these circum-
stances have found that the poor brutes
cry most Of the time.
Elephants have always exhibited
very human traits, but this one Of cry
ing brings them closer to the human
family than any other attribute. an
elephant weeps practically for the
same cause which would make q man
weep. On setting the animal free,
which has been done for experiment,
tear shedding Immediately ceases, and
the animal returns 70 its cheerfulnesa
of disposition. On returning 20 cap
tivity 1t again begins TO weep.

Superfuous Talk.

The late Professor Huxley, who was
as shrewd an observer Of men as he
was of nature, once remarked, after
falling into an indiscretion which an
noyed him. that when man says what
he has no need to say he Is sure to
blunder. The truth of the observation
will hardly be questioned unless by the
very few, If there are any such. who
never say more than there is necessity
for saying. Most of us acknowledge, If
we review our own experience In the
matter. that we have frequently erred
by saying what needed not to be said.
But why is 1t that people so persistent
ly commit this mistake? In the ordi-
nary small talk of the household or Of
society 1t matters little whether it is
committed or not.
But when serious matters are in
question, whether in conversation, In
set speech or in correspondence, n case
is frequently spoiled by irrelevance or
redundance. To say what you mean is
comparatively easy: to leave off when
you have said 1t is difficult and for
many people impossible. In Huxley's
case the fault, which he probably did
not often commit, was due neither to
want of clear thinking nor to want Of
facility in the use of words. One or
the other or both of these causes Will
explain the inability to keep to the
point which is usually apparent in
the speech and writing of uneducated
persons. But often, also, the speaker
or writer forgets that extrancous con-
siderations, interesting enough to him
self, are Of no interest to those whom
ne wishes to convince
