head put down in a notebook or on the
boxes that hold the different things.
First Of all thorough cleaning is
necessary. If the dust and CRIME of
weeks be removed before packing, much
OF the labor at the end of the journey
can be obviated, and comfort corre-
spondingly increased.
China should be packed in barrels,

a plate, and it strikes the floor on its
edge, 1t will not break. 1t Is the same

time 1t had rolled itself dirty, the wool

the wool came back to the rubber Just

TO PARENTS

TT PARENTS bat knew how magnihed
eli things are TO the childish mind.
Il there would be fewer harmful i'm
pressions on the lives OF little ones. The
best suggestion is to retrace the steps
IN ones own life and TO recall the
doubts and the fears that were left by
the actions Of the unthinking ones with
whom the present fathers and mothers
came in contact. Things that seem but
triies TO grown people appear warped
ana distorted TO children. often leaving
2 lasting influence for Ill.
When you and John have that differ
ence % opinion that results in hot
words on both sides. you may think
nothing Of il after the reconciliation has
occurred. yet little John. who overheard
II. will wonder for days what made
father so naughty that mother cried, or
why mamma scoIded poor daddy.
Thus two beings who have seemed
quite perfect to the little one are shown
With the first flaw. and the child's trust
is never quite the same again.
Youngsters are so sharp; they take in
so much more than their elders imag-
inc. And it is dangerous TO trust to
their not understanding conversations
that are held before them. II they do
not understand in the way an older per-
son would, they get warped ideas that
are sometimes ludicrous. more often pa
thetic, again embarrassing.
Particular care must be taken that an
impression Of fear is not gained. Per
nit your child to be frightened, and II
may be a coward all its life. Discharge
instantly a nurse who rules through
dread Of policeman or bogies, who peo-
pies the dark with spooks or wild ami
mails or who holds UP father or mother
as e dire punisher.
Such impressions can never be entirely
overcome. Instead Of the little ones
feeling that the policeman is the friend
10 whom she should go if lost, or that
her parents love her with a tenderness
that could not harm. the old childish
dread makes confidence impossible.
The first impressions of fear, if they
do not weaken q child physically. will
morally. Real are the tortures of
vivid Imagination, but more lasting is
the deceit and thickness into which
children are often led through their un-
warranted fears.
Let your little boy be unafraid Of the
unseen and fearless when this virtue
can be coupled with truth and upright
ness Of character.
