Hens which have even a limited

continuously on one kind of food, so
make it a point to diversity the feed to

GUIDING THE CHILD Alright
Matter Of Correction is One Calling
for Careful Consideration by
the Parents.

Treat the child more as an equal,
whose obedience you require on rea-
sonable grounds because you are
older and know more than he does.
Compel his obedience by showing
him the bad results of his disobedi-
ence, At the same time let his per-
sonality have play so that he may
learn to do for himself as much as
possible. Let him feel free, so long
as he does right. Do not deprive
him of a walk OF outdoor air OF
make him study by way of punish.
ment. That is to give him a dis
taste for study, and a shut-in system
of correction is unhealthful. It is
no cure for a nervous child to be
so frightened that he trembles more
from fear than from nerves, so avoid
any sort of punishment that terror.
ICES him. Whipping is usually mot
always barbarous.-Los Angeles

VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION
Plaintiffs Explanation No Doubt
Aroused Considerable Sympathy
In the Judge

Of the many excellent stories
Judge Bodkin tells in his reminis-
cences perhaps the most amusing is
that concerning a case in which the
famous Sergeant Armstrong ap-
peared for the defendant against a
plaintiff who sought to recover a GER
tain debt. The latter, a most respect
able old gentleman, clearly proved
the debt, and the sergeant rose to
examine him.
without a word he handed the
witness a sheet of blue paper with
writing and an obliterated stamp
upon it.
"The witness just glanced at the
document, then silently handed it
back to the sergeant. Still without
a word he took off his spectacles, put
them in their case, the case in his
pocket, picked up his hat and began
to move unobtruSively out of the wit
ness box.
whats all this, what's all this?
queried the bewildered judge.
"'Only the gentleman's receipt in
full for the amount claimed said
the sergeant.
"The plaintiff, half out of the wit.

the air Of a man who has been cru

A w%ell-known crlcketer told 10
this story the other day:
He was staying in a small coun-
try village lately, and on the local
half-holiday he went to see the viii
lage cricket club play on the green.
Afterward he discussed the match
with the captain and ventured to
make a few criticisms.
"There was one man playing for
you today" he said, Chat l can't
think why you have him in the team
at ALL"
The captain nodded YEARLY.

said. Zones, the man who went in

Eyes, that's the man." replied the
other. Why do you play him? He
can't bat, he can't bowl, and he
missed at least two easy catches
"The fellows will have him in the
team" grumbled the captain.
"ls he such a favorite, then?
"Great Scott, mop exclaimed the
captain. "The fellows hate him
like poison. But his three sisters
are the prettiest girls in the village,

RELelUM's E SONG.

The national anthem of Belgium
"La Brabanconne," is set to lighter
music than the dignitied British and
Russian compositions. Its author
and composer were both Belgians,

the public need at the time of a
great crisis in the country's history,
the revolution of 1880, when Bel

the front being three feet high and
the back two feet. Many buy the
heating parts and build only the
