cradle excitement was occasioned here

7 HAVE thought a great deal about
what I might say.h I could talk
with mothers who live far away
from any center OF population, and this
fact stands out most clearly in my
mind: The remarkable opportunities
a mother in the country has to teach
her children at first hand what the sea-
sons bring.
Let them have a garden of their
own, in which to grow very simple
flowers and vegetables that are hardy
and easily grown.
Let them have pets to take care OF.
This will teach kindness and service for
those dependent upon them.
Every child should have daily du-
ties, n If you begin early and make
play of these tasks, most children will
love to do them, and feel the impor-
tance Of being a real help In the home.
1t seems to me that the three largest
factors all through life : self-con-
tro.. independence and OBEDIENCE, and
we cannot begin too early in any
child's life to teach these virtues
Another thing the far-away mother
may obtain for her child is books. De-
velop early q fondness for books in
your children, and a, great battle Is
won. All children love fairy tales,
UAN pOoS4y oAS1 "
Grimm's and A~ndersen's Fairy Tales.
Wise selections OF the best of these
l'time-tested stories are now pub
1ished by many publishing houses.
Some Of the Grimm stories are too
'grewsome to tell to children. Kip
1ing's Just So Stories" and poems by
Robert Louis Stevenson, Eugene
Field, James Whitcomb Riley and
Jessie Wilcox Smith are all excellent
for children to know.
Six years of age is not too early to
begin to build a library for a child,
and the books should be in his own
room, where they can be easily
reached and become constant compan-
ions. The books my daughter en-
5oyed most at he age Of Z were:
In Story Land, Elizabeth Harrison.
Kindergarten Story Book, Jane
Hoxie.
Pinocchio, c. Collodi.
Tale of Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Pot
ter.
Tale of Tom Kitten, Beatrix Potter.

The Only Real sardines.
From the Hartford Courant.

In South Africa the little fish that are
put in cans and labeled sardines are not
sardines unless they are caught off the
coast Of Portugal. Americans, Swedish,
japanese and other so-called sardines an
not quality as such under the law. The
American consul at johannesburg has re-
ported to the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce that in a recent lawsuit
before the supreme court a decision was
rendered to the effect that. "as sardines
are only obtainable from the coast of
Portugal, no Gamer is justified in calling
such ar article 'sardines' unless they ema-
nate from the place above mentioned"
Under this ruling a shipment of Japanese
sardines was denied entrance into the
Union of South Africa by the customs
authorities.

they can learn not only the music but
ABOUT the composers, and the great

A child's taste in pictures can be-
cultivated by having in his room pic
lures which are good both as to color
and subject. Pictures dealing with;
Nature in any form are always attrac-i
tive to a child and If they are hung,

seems there is real education of the
