hills are named from him-waS of the
family of the Earl of Limerick, and the
seat of the earl in Ireland was Castle

Governor Dongan's descendants still
live on Staten Island. some of them oc-
cupying and owning houses on the land
Of the old manor Al first Governor
Dongan merely had q hunting lodge on
Staten Island, and it is significant Of

Mothers Day on.

1T dawned upon me after | had been
married twelve years that every one in
my house had day of except my
wife," said the married man. Il al
ways had Sundays, the children had
Saturdays and Sundays and the serv-
ants had Thursdays So l talked it
over with her, and after good deal of
argument on her part we decided that
once every week the family should
shift for itself, while my wife went
shopping. visiting or did anything else
she liked without botherng her head
about the dinner or the children The
plan works like a charm, and we have
a lot of fun trying to show her how
much better we can run things with

Most parents think they are teaching
their children to be kind. But are
they? asks Annie Lillian SWEET in the
Housekeeper.
! was ia a home recently where there
was a~pet cat The -nlarrieds son and
his wife were staying there, ana they
had q little girl two years old. One
morning the child came into the sitting
room and picked the cat up and put
her arms tight around It's. stomach and
squeezed it. My hostess took the cat
and put it outdoors. The child cried a
Little. The mother of the child said,
Never mind. baby. when the kittens
out in the wood she'd get big you can
squeeze them all you want to-"
Children frequently see their elders
strike animals. If we had no other
way Of finding out this fact. we would
know it from watching children play.
Children when riding a stick will yank
it and jerk it ana whip it. 1t is the
first impulse of child nine or ten
years Of age when anything happens
to strike the offending object
Children are merely copyists, They
DO only what they have seen their par
ents do. When they are small they
have tender hearts and a strong sense
