Timely Hints on Giving.

We should not give people
things they do not want.
We should avoid giving any
body the mumps or the chicken
pox If we can help it.
Do not give a friend the cold
shoulder without baked beans and
hot coffee to 90 with 1t.
A man should not give a lady a
kiss unless he thinks she would
enjoy it, except in the case OF his
wife and his mother-in-law.
Do not give red suspenders to a
total stranger; he might prefer
these OF a pale blue shade instead,
Do not present a bucking bron'
cho to a tall, pale man of seden'
tary habits, MS he would not likely
live long to enjoy it.
When you give castor oil to a
bowling infant give it for its in
trinsic worth and not merely as al
evidence OF your regard.-Lippin'

Value of Moral Training.

In bringing up our children, we
have learned that in regard 10
religious matters, the sacred needs
to be diluted with the secular, In
other words, religious instructions
in the abstract is not nearly 80 Ell
cacious in character building as
the making n few principles OF
righteousness a vital part OF life.
Practice is better than precept,
says Good Hou sekeeping. My boy
quickly learned the Bibles in
functions as to kindness aud gener.
oslty, but when he gave ten cents
of hard earned money to help a
poor woman, the act made great
er impression upon his nature
than all his Sunday schooling.
Most OF us parents need to realize
that actions speak louder than
words-thst a good example aud
right deeds by parents, during the
week have more effect upon the
child than church going alone.
