Children Who Contradict.

A natural habit of every child is
to contradict, and this should be over.
come as soon as boy or girl develops
it, for of all disagreeable and over.
bearing persons those who aggressive
ly contradict are among the worst.
Parents cannot be too particular in
teaching their sons and daughters to
disagree courteously, which is not at
all incompatible with doing it posi-
lively. 81 beg your pardon. but you
are mistaken" is quite as much of a
contradiction as saying 1T isn't" and
it is far better manners. Il think you
are mistaken" is another way of ex-
pressing the opinion. A mother need
not be afraid Of making her child a
prig by teaching him such little
things. They are as important to
him as a knowledge Of how to speak
dramatically.

DOGS FEARED BY osrRIcHEs

Savage Kicks.
Many accounts have been written
OF the fierceness Of the African os-
trich. but most Of the statements are
exaggerated. During the laying sea.
son the males become quite ferocious
and one must be very careful in ap-
preaching q nest, as he may get a
kick which will not only knock him
badly. as each bird has upon its feet
claws which will cut like a knife. A
curious fact is that II person stoops
over when attacked by one of the
large birds he may save himself from
the kick. rs It cannot exert any force
below a height Of three feet. owing
to the peculiar manner in which the
legs are 1ointed. The keepers at the
ostrich farm at Jacksonville. Fla.
take with them small dogs. which will
drive the largest ostriches anywhere
about the pen. The birds realize that
they cannot harm the dogs with their
feet and fear them more than q man.
