In on housekeeping matters. 'Each' we this paper she will have something in. of happy, or more rebellious. | It is a great mistake to try to dis-| nd death.by paralysis of the central cipline a boy or girl by calling atten-! tion to his bad manners at the table or elsewhere; or to punish him when strangers or guests are present. Such treatment is intensely humiliating to a child, and makes a lasting impres-| sion on the youthful mind. Many par- ents and teachers have eo mortified and discouraged children by such in- judicious punishment that tragic re- _ sults have frequently followed, espe- cially in the case of nervous or over- sensitive boys and girls To do the thing that is best for the child we must know his nature, and realize that he is not an adult in brain, experience, or heart. He has not an adult's judgment. We are all apt. to forget that children, even in their teens, have not developed their moral or reasoning faculties to any great extent. Their judgment and " levelheadedness are weak. They have not had sufficient experience to fall back to Help them in néasoning, and it is surprising what little things often discourage them, and make their whole world look black and forbid: ding. With them the present is every- thing, and when their sun is darkened for .a moment they can see nothing but blackness in the future: Many parents have a mistaken idea that they must be stern with their children, that they must suppress them, or they will become unnfiinage- able. They do not realize that stern- ness and suppression simply mean strangling growth, stifling aspirations, « dwarfing ideals. There can be no real growth, no normal development of faculties where there is no freedom of expression. Happiness is a child's birthright, _but no child can be happy who is con- stantly suppressed. There is some thing unnatural about a child who is not happy. He will never make a full- fledged man or woman. There will al- ways be something lacking in his de= velopment! He will be abnormal in some way. A happy childhood is the best protection against ill-health, un- happiness, and failure in the future; the best protection against the de- " velopment of handicapping peculiar- itles, idiosyncracies, and even insanity.

Generally, the thrifty housewife, after the plant has ceased to bloom, stores away the bulbs for the next season. Not infrequently, the placs where she puts them is close by the store-room for her potatoes and on- fons, usually a dark spot. It can be readily understood how an unobserv- ant person could unwittingly substi- tute the bulb of a daffodil for an onion, there being such a striking out- ward resemblance between the two. If you store bulbs near the onions, be very careful. A SMART VERSION OF THE TUNIC. 5014. In this model the tunic effect is shown in the "apron" portion of the front.

He | went slowly down to a reef of pebbles, {and taking off his coat he proceeded to make a thorough toilet. When he had finished and put on his coat again he~ gazed at his finger-tips critically, | sighed, washed them again, and let | them dry in the sun. Then he put {them gently into an inner pocket and drew out a faded pocket-book, piti-; fully grey and frayed at the edges, | where the cartridge-paper lining showed through. It bore the inserip-| tion: CHRIST: R KENN"--DY, M.A. Several of the letters were blurred and missing. He opened it with his slim, clean fingers, and the "tears flooded over in his eyes and rained down on the leather. Tremblingly he took out a packet, and, unfolding the paper, he found some stray frag-, ments of stalk and greyish powder,' with a' few petais of hether balls still adhering to the largest piece. On the papér was written "Given me by Lilias," and an undecipherable date. "Bless God she did not know me to-| day; as sho did by the. quarry," mut-| tered the tramp as he sat and gased. He lifted the paper half-way to his; face, as if to kiss the heatWer; but be fore he had touched it he snatched the packet away. "No," he said, "I will not--I will not. A man of unciean lips--a man of unclean lips!" Then he restored the whole with reverend care to his pocket, and, re- gaining the perpendicular with stiff dignity, he set his eyes again to the road, and his feet down through the dust to the poorhouse. And as she and her son walked homeward, talking almost gaily, the hand of Lilias Mac Walter was finger- ing at the bosom of her dress, that it might touch the trampled spray of white heather, which she had placed. there after grinding it into the soil with her heel. CHAPTER XII. A ROYAL ROAD TO LEARNING. Kit's schooling, so far as the mere j acquisition of the orthodox amount of (learning was concerned, was easily gotten. He had the natural faculty {for letters which makes nothing diffi- cult. He was possessed of a good gén- (eral idea of the next day's lesson be- | fore the other scholars had done mark- ing the place. He listened with won- der to the slower rustics atthe age. of seven and eight sti) wrestiing with | the alphabet.

For at this moment it chanced that his grandmother, slippering about in loose "hoshens" on the. floor of cool blue whinstone flags, must needs come to his cradle-side to make sure that the boy was sleeping. Kit tried to run the book secretly back under his pil low. But it was foo late. The eagl eye fastened upon it. The firm hand descended, secured the volume, remov- ed it to a place of safety, and r\turn- ed to-investigate the reality of Kit's slumbers.,. The sleep of the just in six-foot resting grave was nothing to the invincible depth 'of his uncon- sciousness. But that was the last Kit saw of the "Gleanings" for many a day, in spite of a hundrad spirited] hunts, until one never-to-be-forgetten day when (the grown-up faction busy preparing for the Sabbath journey to|. the Kirk-on-the-Hill) .

To slip the book under his pinafore and convey it and himself to the safe sheiter behind the cow mow was the simplest of Kit's achisves ments. To such a student, therefore, the routine of scholarship in the vil lige school of Whinnyliggate presen ed no difficulties. (To bo continued.) © mr: THE PROFITS IN TEA.
