Benjamin Woodruff. Of Post & Flagg-

acted just as it should. once or twice
an effort was made to bid prices up. but
this attempt was frOwned upon from high
sources, and there was a sufficient amount
Of bear selling. combined with sales Of
stocks taken on earlier in the week, to
protect the situation, to hold the market
in check. All things considered. the
money market behaved well Renewals
were at 70 per cent, and most loans were
made around that figure. The bond mar
ket continues TO be the worst feature of
the whole situation, when the best of the
gilt-edged bonds are urgently forced for

himself in play and word and action. When
children are urged to be polite and thought
full the primary motive should be the simple
one. because 1t Is right; secondly. because
1t makes others happy and comfortable, as
well as themselves, and lastly. because only
through the exercise of true courtesy they
can win love and friendship. Parents often
do their children serious injustice by criti-
cising or speaking harshly of their rela-
tives. neighbors or acquaintances in their
presence. Such conversation, though the
child may comprehend little of 1t. pre5udices
his mind and unconsciously affects his
manner in company with the objects of his
parents disapproval. Children cannot dis
criminate and are likely to confound criti-
cism of trifing faults with serious con-
demnation.
Refined table manners are an invariable
accompaniment of good breeding. They
are more difficult Of requirement and re-
tention than any other class of manners.
since children usually are blessed with good
appetites. To restrain these at table, TO
teach the child to eat slowly, to maSticate
thoroughly each morsel Of food. to hold
knife and fork and spoon properly, to take
but a sip of water at a time, instead OIL
gulping down q tumblerful. all these things
require unceasing attention on the part OF
parents or caretakerS.
Most Mothers
Have experienced great difficulty in trying
to look into the throat of child. As the
up-to-date physician advises that q child S
throat should be examined at the slightest
approach to indisposition, the following
simple device will be found of the greatest
service: Take large silver spoon and hold
1t back of a candle with the concave sur
face turned toward the light. and you Will
have an excellent reflection. This combi-
nation placed before the open mouth or
child will permit you to concentrate the
luminous rays in the throat and ascertain
its condition with absolute certainty.
