THE HABIT OF LYING.
Ways Ia which Prevarieation May
Re Developed.


How does one become llar-that is
to say, how does the child discover Il
lie and habitually make use of itl
We can admit that at the beginning
there is absolute sincerity. The child
through all its first years neither lies
nor dlssimulates. Its sentiments, its
desires, translate themselves into words
and into acts. Its body Is the constant
snd perfect expression of its Utmost
Aeing Such is the starting point-s!n-,
certify, absolute transparency.
There Is II multitude of little lies
| tolerated which we treat as paruon-
able. We tell the domestic to say we
are not ut home when we are; we COM
| pliment people to their faces and crit
icise them when they are gone we say
we are happy To see some one and di-
reetly after speak of having been an
noyed, No moro is necessary. The ex-
ample has been given.
We lie to tho child himself. We are
| pressed by his many embarrassing
| questions and In order to free ourselves
from the embarrassment reply with
what is frequently falsehood Some
fine day he discovers the truth, and the
evil is done. The gravest case Is when
the child is taken rs an accomplice in a
lie or when his mother tells him,
"Above all, do not tell this to your
papa" This Is the ruin of all morality
The third stage Is the first encounter
of the child with society, the first
shock with social life. The child who
tells all he knows, sees aud hears, all
that he would better have left unsaid.
Is called the "enfant terrible" His
parents do not tell him TO lie, but they
tell him 1t Is not necessary to tell all
he thinks. This is extremely serious.
as 1t teaches the child that he cannot
show himself as he is. This ~ the
revelation of the lie obligatory. Above
oil. among his comrades he quickly
learns to dlssimulatet because IL he is
naiye-expresses oil his Joys, pains, de-
slres-they make sport OF him; nay.
worse, they abuse his confidence; the
hopes, projects which he has con1ded
TO them he some day secs used against
him.
Thus the impossbility of living with
out lying IL revealed TO him Society
excuses certain forms of lying which
are inspired by n feeling of politencss,
modesty, shame
The child becomes Il liar because all
the world about him lies, The distinc=
ton between the liar and the man of
sincerity Is only relative. There are in
reality only two eategories those who
content themselves with the lies exact
ed by social life and those who have
habituated themselves to lying more
than society wishes, to lie because of
some personal interest.
An important cause in the develop
ment of lying In children is the en-
| ployment of excessive and Ill advised
punishmcnts. The child who becomes
liar Is the one who lives In perpetual
terror OF reproaches, humiliation OF
strokes. Tho lie fo him is supreme

Observation-Disclosures
! A BARGAIN !
{ IN KISSES !:

There was flutter of expectancy as
the minister's daughter came into the
little back meeting room of the main
floor of the church where the members
of the committee, the ma jorlty of them
young and pretty. all stood talking ut
once.
Something was going on. In through
the half open door could be heard II
buzz of people, and an expert In such
matters, II no had passed by and even
had casually looked within. would have
known that church fair was In prog
ress
1t was indeed the annual church fair
held under tho auspices of the Young
Women's guild, and this year tho min.
listers daughter was In charge of the
proceedings. Her father away on his
vacation, had called her into his study
before his departure and appealed TO
her very strongly to do her share"
And 30 she had suddenly announced her
determination to take an active part,
much to tho surprise of every one. as
up TO the present time she had been

That's 80" assented Mrs, Dickster.
"All she cares about are the men and

the table where the chairman usually
presided. There was sudden hush.
She looked over her auditors moment
with n calm. penetrating gaze.

a chorus of "Oh's' and feminine

''There Is no help for It," she contin-

There was II pnuso; n hand was

1t would probably be difficult, not to

astute individual to prick up his ears
IN an unusual degree for one Injured to
that sort OF stoicism that the roulette
table fosters. And 30 there was kiss
ing game going on ut tho church, led
by the minister's daughter herself.
Here was u fine chance to get even.
Mike had had to close up his place once
for several weeks because of scathing

HOW SALT cooLs COFFEE.
A Little Experiment Worth the Try
ing Out of Mere Curiosity,


Between bites of the simple break

himself and was paving the way to fu-
ture indigestion by boiling his food.
The coffee was the stumbling block. 1t
was hot--very hot-but the clerk need
ed It badly, and he slipped 1t carefully,
having due regard for his mouth and
tongue,
But time pressed, and, with parting
glance at the clock, he reached for his
glass of ice water and prepared TO pour
some of the frlgid fluid into his cup.
Don't spoil your coffee, young man."
said an elderly gentleman who was
eating his breakfast on the other side
OF the table, You take all the good
out of 1t by putting Ice or ice water In
It,"
The clerk was ut first inclined to re-
sent the Interference, but the patri-
archal appearance of the other man
tempered his resentment.
"What am to do?" he asked. Il am
late for the office, and l want this cof-
fee badly"
''Let me show you little scheme"
said the elderly man. Taking the cylin-
drical saltcellar from the table, he
wiped 1t carefully with a napkin. then,
reaching over, deposited the glass yes

AS he spoke he withdrew the saltcel-

younger man to drink, He raised the
cup to his lips and. TO his surprise,
found the liquid cooled TO such an ex-
tent that he could drink It without In
