Formlno a chiId's Ideas.

Priceless opportunities belong to q
mother to give to the baby, with his
whole life before him, the true foun-
dations Of character and chances of
future happiness and greatness. So
the first thing wise woman does Ia
to reason the matter out, deciding on a
method of action which can be pursued
with as little deviation as possible.
Preparation is needed, for just as love
does not bestow mysterious instinct
as to the proper physical treatment Of
a baby, so affection alone will not
prove a sufficient guide or teacher in
the matter of character training. One
has TO cultivate the power Of restrain
ing impulse, of infinite patience and
infinite self-control and firm grasp Of
those principles which underlie the for
nation Of character. By possessing
these powers herself, the mother Is
able to direct child's conduct and to
suggest motives to him at time when
his impulses are natural and his ideas
yet uniformed, when he will learn lit
orally unconsciously.

In the earliest time of which there
Is any record, Ireland was inhabited
by tribes of the great Celtic family,
to which belonged the ancient Brit
ons Of the larger island. and the Gauls
OF the country now known as France.
Each tribe had It's chief, and after a
time supreme monarch came to the
front. One Of the most famous of
these was Brian, who overthrow the
invading Danes in the battle of Clon-
tart, fought In the year 1014 near Dub
lin. He was slain In his tent at the
close of the fight. After his death
the supreme monarchy was often In
complete allegiance. misrule and an
archy widely prevailed and the ancient
form of society was largely broken up.
1t is said that Roderick O'Connor, son
OF Turlough, was the last Of the mon
archs of Celtic Ireland. From that
time the influence of Anglo Normans
increased.

Ia one Of the most ancient and famous
of Catholic shrines. According to
legend. many centuries ago an image
Of the Virgin was found at the top Of
the mountain, and it was impossible to
move the image. Thus it was shown
to men that they should build shrine
on Monserrat.
In medieval times 1t was shrine Of
unexcelled beauty and splendor. An
emperor came here to kneel and to
cover the great Byzantine church with
gold. queen walked up the noun

gathered at MOnserrat. Its greatness
came to an end in the nineteenth CEN

shrine and carried away the orna-

Now the church has been rebuilt
and offers free lodging to the pilgrims
who come there still, but the fame
and splendor of the place have shrunk.

TO MAKE AND HOLD FRIENDS
knack That Can Be Acquired by Most
People, and Is Well Worth
the Having.

Few people are naturally blessed
with the happy faculty of making
friends easily. With most people 1t
is more or less an acquired art If
you wish to acquire this art, don't
be discouraged at the apparent ease
with which some of your friends seem
to "get on" with everybody. They've
only learned a few more of the
tricks of the trade" so to speak,
than you have. That's all. The main
point is that they have learned them.
A person who would have friends
must show himself friendly. Just you
try it and see If 1t doesn't act like a
charm.
Half the battle is to meet people as

Don't always expect the other per-
son to make the advances II there IL
no good reason why you shouldn't
make them. Sometimes the very per
sons who seem most ''unapproacha-
BILE" turn out to be quite willing to be
friendly If they are approached In the
right way. Look for the good In peo-
pie, always, and you will be very sure
