Use Tact With Boys.
Successful disciplinarians are aware
that the chief element in the manage
ment OF children is tact. Even the
most cantankerous boy may be led by
kindly diplomacy. But the good
mother trimming over with unselhsh
devotion forgets that her boy has
sharp eyes and ears and tender feel
ings and should be regarded with the
same consideration that she shows to
neighbours child or toward her
friends in society. She is constantly
offending his feelings by personal
illusions and remarks when he is In
company. His faults and virtues
alike are paraded on all occasions
and his intentions are often misin-
terpreted Said a young man re-
Gently:
| remember how | used to dread
going out with my mother just on that
account | never knew what she
would say, and fairly used to squirm
in anticipation when heard her
mention my name. The dear
creature was so proud of me and of
my small achievements, and. with the
exaggeration of self which is so com
mon with young people, always felt
that | was being dragged into prom
inenee In the most ridiculous fashion
when she talked OF me.
Another trait of boy which
mothers are apt to ignore through
want of tact is an intense dislike to
being quoted. II is all right IL he
relates an incident or criticises com.
rade himself, but to hear his remarks
repeated vexes him excessively. MANY
time have seen a school friend
flush up TO the roots Of his hair with
annoyance when his mother all un.
Willingly has alluded To something he
has told her about the boys. A youth
is queer creature-rough and almost
callous in some things. oversensitive
and foolishly thin.skinned In Others.
and a mother with tact will under
stand his many contradictions and
earn his gratitude and confidence bv
humoring them.

An Accomplished Princess.

Princess Henry OF BattenDerg, SIS
ter of King Edward was one of the
exhibitors at a recent art exhibition
in Ryde, Isle of Wight. Her picture
was an oil painting of Egyptian ruins,
and was greatly admired. Princess
Beatrice Is possessed of many talents,
being an excellent actress, it is said,
and fine musician Nine. Blanche
Marchesi has said that her accom-
paniments were never better played
than by the princess. A story is told
of celebrated musician who, while
visiting at Windsor Castle, was asked
his opinion of the playing of one of
the Processes. Madame, you play
like princess!" was the diplomatic
reply. Princess Beatrice then played
and solicited a verdict. His answer
On this occasion wa: Madame, you
play like an artist"
Magic Of Good Manners.
De Quincy says: More is done
for the benefit of conversation by the
simple magic of good manners than by
all varieties of intellectual power"
II Is the sympathetic and responsive
listeners that call forth the best efforts
of the talker. For such are reserved
his choicest stories, his finest
thoughts. A kindllng Of the face, a
fash of the eye, ready smile act as
inspiration, and interest shown in the
conversation of others stimulates and
WHITES their thought. To a good
listener the diffident will say what
they think and the verbose will think
what they say. There is nothing more
trying than to find that ones converse

person to pick up a book or paper and

A WONDERFUL CHASE.
How An Augusta Man Captured Partridge In

All, in anyway familiar with tradi-

bird by skillfully applying a little salt
