A FINE TRAIT OF CHARACTER.

woman was once talking to me
about her daughter, a girl in her later
teens who would have to go to work
and support herself as soon as she was
out of school The mother was talk
ing about the things the girl might do,
and she said:
Il wish she could get some kind of
work that would give her the opportu-
nifty of dealing with children. She
seems to take naturally to children and
never yet saw the child that did not
take to her."
To my mind that was about as high
a compliment as a girl could we'll re-
ceive. When children naturally and
instinctively take" to a girl it is con-
vincing proof of the fact that the girl

DADDY"

Dad" is the English of papa"
Dad" and daddy" were we'll known
in the sixteenth century. Papa" did
not come in, borrowed from abroad,
until the seventeenth century was we'll
advanced.
Forio at about the end of the for
mer century defined the Italian papa
as the first word that children are
taught to call their father, as ours say
dad, daddie or bab." Dad" seems to
be the commoner to mankind of the
two. Nausicaa in the "Odyssey" calls
her father papa phile" dear papa,
but Greek had ''tata" also, and Welsh
has tat" and Irish has "daid."

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
PRETTY is THAT PRETTY DOES.

The spider wears a plain brown dress,
And she's a steady spinner;
To see her, quiet as a mouse,
Going about her silver house,
You would never, never, never guess
The way she gets her dinner.
She looks as though no thought of i'll
In all her life had stirred her,
But while she moves with careful
tread,
And while she spins her silken
thread,
She is planning, planning, planning
still
The way to do some murder.
My child, who read this simple lay,
With eyes down-dropt and tender,
Remember the old proverb says
That pretty is which pretty does
And that worth does not go nor stay
For poverty nor splendor
'Tis not the house, and not the dress,
That makes the saint or sinner,
To see the spider sit and spin,
Shut with her walls of silver in,
You would never, never, never guess
The way she gets her dinner.
