GIVE THE BABY A CHANCE.

Love isn't sickening mush of con-
ceLsion. Love is firm. Love is just
Love has good, red blood in it's veins.
Looking over to the ultimate good of
its oject, love frequently DEGREES suf-
fering and anguish of spirit.
And l tell you what, my dear
madam Some day, for his bad tenn
per and impudence, you are going to
slap or spank That child you are now
toe rendered hearted to let cry. Yes,
you are, just as sure as you are born.
And you won't slap him in love,
either! Think of the shame of it!
you are going to beat the child for
the evil qualities that you yourself
instilled in him. You are going to
beat him in anger, thereby making
open confession that your mean, petty,
starved nature has not enough moral
force by which to rule him. Shame:
shame!
Give the baby chance to have a
healthy brain and nervous system. Do
you realize that his brain grows more
during his first year than in all his
other years combined? That means
don't ever play with him during his
nrst year, or let anyone else play with
him. "Kitchee-coo!" cries the visitor.
"Oh, 90 sweet, precious little dear!"
And poor baby gets poked in the ribs
and tossed in the air. Very bad. Baby
may laugh and baby may crow; but
by and by will come the inevitable
wall and sleepless hours to tell OF
the overstimulated brain and the
severe tax on the nervous system

MrLLTNERY ExCITEMENT.

The head of the millinery depart
ment was gasping with excitement.
She waved wildly for the girls to sur.
round her, and they came with rush.
You won't believe it," she began,
EMO living soul could; it's the sort OF
thing you read in the newspaper, but
nevertheless it's just as true as gos-
pei. You see that woman stepping
into the elevator? Well, last week
she came in here with red eyes and
ordered mourning bonnet. l draped
the thing on her head for solid
hour, all in my best, hushed manner,
and when she was finally satisfied,
she said, with trembling lip, that
was to keep it until she called; and
now, would you believe it?-no, you
won't, you couldn't, but its true just
the same-she came in here this morn
ing and said, as clipper as you
please: My husband didn't die, after
all, so I'm going to ask you to ex-
change that mourning veil for blue
theatre bonnet; you know my hus-
band loves blue. And girls, swear to
you that's the second time that sort
of thing has happened this month. The
other woman was even worse. She
tried on every mourning hat we have,
and then she got up and thanked me
for my trouble, and said-actually, you
know, said it out loud-Well, he's not
dead yet, but just as soon as any
thing happens I'm coming in to get
that eighteen-dollar hat, you can count
on that Then off she walked Oh,
you needn't tell me the world is i'm
proving; think it gets worse every
day. Personally I'm Just ashamed of
it," Then the saleswoman expression
passed again over her face, and she
rose to meet a customer.-New York

WHY CHILDREN ARE SELFISH.

Compare the children of long ago
with those of today. AS a rule the
former were brought up much more
strictly than those of the present day,
and with due regard for their elders.
While the change to present Gus
toms is, on the whole, better, as II
favors more intimate intercourse De-
tween parents and children and en-
courages more individual development,
yet in many cases there is danger OF
going too far in the opposite d1rec-
ton and raising impertinent and sell
fish children, who consider themselves
the most important members of the
household.
Children allowed to grow up selfish
are apt to be lacking in respect to
their parents. Such children uninten-
tionally form a habit of considering
themselves first and complacently al
low father and mother to sacrifice
time and comfort for their advantages,
says the Portland Evening Express.
Loving mothers do greatest harm
in this respect, for they really de-
light in self-sacrifce for their darl-
ings. A boy that such a one raises,
unless a striking exception, will grow
up selfish, and be always trial to
those nearest and dearest to him.
Habits of selfishness and self-sacrl'
flee grow rapidly, and a father can
do much to check this state of affairs
if he keeps watch. A word of admoni-
ton now and then which will draw
children's attention to services that
they can render their mother Will
cause them to consider her.
By these observations she will be
placed on the pinnacle of family love
and honor, which is the most joyful
position a woman can enjoy.
Besides eradicating selfishness, this
thoughtfulness benefits the family in
another very important way. Such
children acquire a polish and refine
ment of manner which is habitual
rather than company politeness,'
which is ever expressed so grace
fully.
Those who grow up accustomed to
think of others have charm which
wins more love than any superficial at
tributes.
