People who don't mind their own
business, bring more misery into fami-
lies, societies and churches than every
thing else. They turn the pleasant,
peaceful stream of good will into a
oathsome pool; they intrude on ground
where angels would even fear to tread.
Now, minding ones own business is the
very best remedy for the itching ears
that are never satisfied with hearing
and the busy tongue that hurries to
speak cruel words. Winding your own
business will turn your attention to
self, and you will forget to watch so
closely the shortcomings of others; it
willmake peaceful homes, happy neigh
bors, and quiet consciences; and you
Will be able to realize and more fully
comprehend the truth spoken in holy
writ, blessed are the Peacemakers. "

practice sometimes destroys chid's
belief in or respect for parents or

Children's lies should not be regard
ed seriously, as they often result mere
iy from a vivid Imagination. Severe
punishment should seldom be given for
ibs, but rather gentle admonition,
otherwise the child will aim not to get
found out ia its lying rather than to
avoid lying Itself. Above all, to make
truthful children, parents should set
a good example themselves.
Even the stealing Of money is not a
heinous ollense, and can usually be
cured by gentle remonstrance and ar

as possible, save on rare occasions of
great seriousness, and the general con

More Money in Advertised Goods.

A prominent retailer, in addressing
a convention Of dealers, stated that he
found there is more trade, more money
and more satisfaction in pushing adver-
tised goods than unknown brands, says
Harness World.
He prefers them for the very good
reason that he saves expense in his sell
ing organization, and saves lot Of
trouble, too. Advertised goods are half
sold because the buyer knows Of their
quality and the guaranty accompanying
them, and it is not necessary to con
vince him by long explanation on this
point.
The guaranty is n very valuable fac
tor, and it should be played upon by
the retailer. If you buy unknown
brands, and the jobber will not stand
behind you, there is natural timidity
in guaranteeing satisfaction when you
will have to make good from your own
pocket if the goods are not good.
But when the advertising manufac-
turer guarantees his goods, you can
then guarantee them to your customers
without assuming any responsibility of
loss thereby, for the manufactures
stands behind you to make good on his
guaranty.

Matter Of Environment-Preco-
cious Infant Rarely Makes
Good Early Promises.

Much to the easement of our social
amenities, the precocious child has
gone out Of fashion. No longer have
we to stifle yawns and to smile while
our fingers Jingle from a desire to
smack as a baby prodigy recites
Shakespeare or gives impromptu
scale-practice on the piano.
In fact, the tendency is the other
way; we are on the upswell of Rous-
seau movement and the dear babies
are being turned out to do gardening
and to cultivate powers Of observa-
tion apart from books and pen and
ank; the nursery has become me-
nagerie and botanical museum, and
that her boy or girl of seven Is ig-
norant of the alphabet is the latest
and proudest boast of the loving
mother.

One has this shown very clearly in

Where the young prince or princess
has, through the pressure of state at

by diplomatists and ministers, the
child has picked up the jargon in the
most astonishing fashion.
Have we 1t not on record that when
Mary, Queen Of Scots, as a child OF
eight years, met her mother at Rouen,
the little queens reply to the ma
ternal caresses was the inquiry:
What factions continued to exist in
the noble families of Scotland?" and
whether the English. still harassed
her native country; whether worship
remained pure ana the prelates and
clergy did their duty?"
At eleven she quotes Plutarch, and
at twelve she writes an essay on the
demeanor and duties of princes
couched in the language of an elderly
statesman. Yet, though q brilliant
woman, who can say that Mary Stu
arts later life was remarkable in wis
dom and diplomacy? Her precocity
was just the repetition of the senti

And might not one hazard the opin
