With many, the ides of training a child consists in strict discipline, cross- ing them in their little plans when- ever they do not happen to conform to some ides or whim of the parent, when often the child's plan is just as near right as the parent's. Provide good conditions for the child's devel- opment. See that it has a sound, healthy body, as nearly as possible. Provide for all its needs, so as to make the little one happy, and give it plenty of love, for love is to th little child what aunsbuje is to the plant. Set it a good example in self-control, good- ness, and all other virtues you wish the child to possess, and there will be THE CHUAIil AND JAP, A SEAMAN'S EXPERIENCES WITH THE ORIENTAL NATIONS. very little need for any harsh JJseJB line.

Of course It may be necessary some- timeo. with strong-willed children, to use wime strict discipline, but if the child is I wrought up in tbs right atmo- sphere. physically, mentally and moral- ly, it will naturally grow right, some old theologies to the contrary notw-nb- stan.lmK.

Simmer : gently for a few moments, add salt and i pepper and strain. If more flavoring is liked add a tablespoonful of musb- r.-'iii ketchup, a little pepper sauce or Worcestershire. .Stuffed Onions.

P. R. steamship "Empress of China," who has been stopping iu Montreal for some time past, has made intimate acquaintances with the Jap- anese and Chinees character during t he past number of years, and indicate traits and idiosyncracies of an interesting tud sometimes curious character. Mr. Tbornbury was in command of the "Empress of India/' when that ship, some years ago. went round the world. Subsequently be was promoted to the "Empress of China." but con- tracting an acute form of seiarira, through constant exposure to storms, he has been obliged to resign and is now on his way home go England. Mr. Thornbury does not believe the war will teach the Chinese anything. "The Chinese are willing to allow that the western natkins know how to build and handle ships, but outside of this they regard us as barbarians, hopeless- ly sunk in ignorance. The brighter ones are willing to learn English in so far as that tongue will help them to make money, but all the same, they regard their civilixatoin as tbs flitust in tbs world: nor has missionary effort shaken that belief. During the war the greatest apathy prevailed in the popula- tion ; tbs men bad neither patriotism nor fight in them. The Chinese think it strange that you should charge a poll tax upon Chinamen in your coun- try, while you insist upon getting into his country free. He cannot see the justice of this one-sided arrangement, and I do not blame him. The Chinese make better merchants than the Jap- anese. They are MORE HONORABLE A Chinese merchant, will never lie about his goods. If he sets a certain price upon them be will charge that price and no more, even if he loses money. A Japanese will cheat you. and when you find him out he will laugh and say: 'I will get the best of you ime.' He does not *v**' r to have a uioral sense.
