Self Conscious Children.

Parents make Il great mistake when
they tell child his fault in order to
cure him of it. He ought to be cured
of it without knowing that he has it.
In continually chiding your child for
his faults you develop one of the most
serious of -faults-that of self con-
sciousness. Has he slouching gait?
Do not tell him so; do not bid him
stand up straight. Give him mill
tary drill or start him in athletics. Is
he sloyenly and does he come to dinner
with uncombed hair? Dress for din
ner yourself. and buy him handsome
necktie-one that appeals to his fancy
not to yours. Is he selfish? Do not
let him guess that he is so. Contrive
Christmas celebration for the happi-
ness of Others, and take him into your
confidence III preparing for it. Then,
when he does what he knows to be
wrong, your rebukc will be more sig
nificant, and your punishment. If pun
ishment is needed, us il sometimes is,
will be more elfectual. Punishmcnts
always, rebulcs generally. should be
reserved for the sins of which the sin
ner is conscious. Faults of which he is
not conscious should be concealed if
possible without his being conscious
of either the fault or the correction
Overcome evi! with good. That re
quires skill. Any fool can point out
fault; only wise man can correct
it.-Outlook.

The Ideal Drawing room.

An ideal drawing room is coming,
having no rugs. no upholstered furni-
ture, no portieres, no window shades.
no sharp corners, no hanging pictures
and even no elaborate carvings OH fur
niture, wainscoting or mantel. Ma
hogany will be the one material for
finish and furniture. Wide windows
will let In light and air from all sides,
and to relieve the semibarrenness Of
such room there will be banks Of
plants and flowers, and especially will
plants of the india rubber and eucalyp-
tus families be kept for their bacteria
destroying qualities.
In the bedroom the same simplicity
as to flooring and walls should be
maintained, and, as to beds, there
should be no pillows. The mattress
should be on plain springs, stretched
eighteen inches above the floor, and it
should slope three or four inches from
the head to the foot. This allows the
blood to leave the brain in just sufii-
cient quantities to induce sleep. and

Even with the best of facilities, cou-
pied with painstaking efforts, it is some
times very difficult to preserve milk
quality for twelve or eighteen hours in
hot weather. Many fly to ice and de-
pend upon that solely, but this does not
necessarily imply good dairying. If one
is possessed of supply of ice, it is q
valuable adjunct in these matters, but
it should be used circumspectly. For
instance, do not cool down hot milk
suddenly with it before that milk has
been thoroughly aersted. With pure
air surroundings and except in the most
sultry and "muggy" weather, there need
be no difficulty in keeping milk sweet
without the use of ice, Aerstion means
more for high quality milk than any
thing else that can be done after it
comes from the COW.

Miss Abbie PETER. educated for the

always, and when 1t does not, the COW
is either partial or total failure as a
dairy COW.
A COW may have large udder and
give good quality of milk for short
time, but If she has not good dairy
form, she has not the machinery to
keep on filling her udder long enough to
make her profitable cow More men
have been deceived by large udder
than by anything else about COW, be-
cause that was almost the only feature
they looked at.
The buyer should never fail to exam
inc carefully the udder of every COW he
thinks of selecting, to see that it is
sound, has no paralyzed quarters and
gives milk easily and freely from all
four of her teats.

The Secret of Youth.

A scientific contemporary has been
discussing why women as they ad-
vance in years grow palmer than men
and why marriage so frequently de-
stroys their good looks, says the Lady's
Pictorial. With this very question
Max O'Rell also deals in his latest
book, and it encourages the hope that
n woman may retain her youthful
appearance longer and thus gain an
other point giving her further equal
ity with man to find that both the
scientific and the philosophic writer's
agree on the point that careful atten-
tion to the personal appearance and
the temper may do much to preserve
youth and beauty. Max O'Rell blunt.
ly says that discreet and judicious CO.
quetry will keep a woman absolutely
beautiful and young till fifty. After
that we must mercifully draw the
veil. Our scientific mentor soberly
advises plenty of open air exercise,
careful attention to the toilet and diet
and the cultivation of amiabillty. A
sense of humor largely helps the re-
tention of youth and might have saved
Faust lot of trouble had he possessed
it. But, unhappily, amiability and a
sense of humor are alike difficult to
cultivate; indeed, they are wholly be-
yopd the reach of large majority.
On the whole. therefore, it is safer to
rely on attention to personal appear
ance. Nowadays it is made so easy for
women to make themselves attractive
that there is no excuse for looking old
er than, II as old as. ones age. The
astute French philosopher counsels wo-
man to be careful about her hair. Our
grave scientific contemporary suggests
that a lady's toilet should never be
hurried. And to this sage advice may
be added third counsel, which is to
cultivate n distinct style of dress.

sogamist, and in twelve years no man
has moved plow, a reaper or hoe
on the PETER land. She is very re
markable woman. who takes great
pride in that which but few other wo.
men could ever carry out. All the work
in the fields, in the garden, orchard
and stables is done by her own hands.

That every hope that hath been crossed
And every dream we thought was lost

Though here unclOtlied and dumb,
But on some brighter, better shore
They live embodied evermore
