"SuoiIed Parents"

A correspondence in one Of the
morning papers, on the Spoiled chill
dren" of the present day, has brough!
to the front many interesting aspects
of family training. It seems general
" felt that there is in many cases
an undue laxity nowadays on the part
of the parents, with disastrous re
suits to the children. One writer has
traced this tendency to one OF -
sources by pointing out that frequent
ly it Is the parents who are spoiieo
He says:
indifferent and ease-leving fathers
weak and vacillating mothers, one mo
ment will scold and punish; and the
next coddle ard pity their children
with the result that the children, with
their wonderful powers of observation
and imitation treat the desires. and
feelings of their parent with CORE
spending contempt"
Good parents are few and far be
tween, and that is because the quail
ties of frmness, self restraint, and
wisdom, so neej.ul IL family training
are so rare among nen and women

Poison in Oriental Rugs.

A salesman employed in the rug de-
partment of a big Market street store
died of blood poisoning the other day,
and since then no one in the estab-
lishment has been permitted to handle
any new importations that have not
been fumigated unless gloves are
worn. The salesman in question had
scratched one of his fingers. with a
opening bale of rugs that had just
come from the Orient he had become
inoculated with poison, which resulted
fatally.
Its a wonder to me-" said a friend
of the victim, "that such cases are
not more common. I have Travelled
through Turkey and Armenia, where
most Of the rugs are manufactured on
hand looms amid filth and saualor al
most indescribable, where the most
loathsome OF, diseases are everywhere
In evidence. These products, while
beautiful from an artistic point OF
view, may readily carry germs to
other countries that might spread all
sorts of horrible coltagion.' .'-Phila

Sensitive to Every Impression.

In the quaint little house where Shakes
peare once lived, writes Peter Ainslee, 70,
many years no register was kept, and Wis
itors wrote their names upon the walls and
ceilings. until every bit Of space had been
occupied with some handwriting, and il
must not be forgotten that fully 10000 peo'
Die visited there every year. Sir Walter
Scott mad written with his diamond ring
his name upon the window pane, and there
were the names OF Washington Irving
John Ruskin. and host of distinguished
and non-distinguished visitors. Standing
there, I felt as though that little room
was like the human heart, sensible to every
influence, and inviting every conner to
