BABYISH BOYS.
Mothers Are Often to Blame for
Their Sons' Lack of Man-lines.
TE2 EXCELLENCE OF SY8UP OF 123
Is due not only to the originality and
eimplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig SYRtr?
Co. only, and we wish to impress uon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

assist one in avoiding- the -worthless
imitations manufactured by other pal
ties. The high standing of the Caxi

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes .
the name of the Company a guarar ,y
of the excellence of its remedy. It is

No woman admires a babyish man,
yet one frequently sees a mother train
ing a babyish boy. He comes in pout
ing and crying because some one treats
him unfairly, or the fellows won't let
him play, or he has met with a fall, and
everyone is to blame but himself.
His mother coddlas and pets him;
criticises the other boys; gives him a
piece of cake, and keeps him in with
her.
The boys don't like to play with him.
Tbey call him mother's darling and
baby boy, and they get rid of him in
every way as soon as possible. He is
peevish, selfish and overbearing at
home, but that is interpreted as a se
quence of his playmates spoiling him.
This- kind of boy grows up and takes
his fretful, fault-finding, unlovable dis
position with him. He has no luck in
the world. His mother only is patient
with him, but even she cannot be proud
of, nor lean lovingly on, such a son.
How much better would it be for a
mother kindly to show her little son
his fault! And in so doing she need not
lose sympathy for any real hurt or
childish sorrow.
As a rulei mothers consider their own
offspring entirely superior to other chil
dren; they listen to a one-sided tale,
and harshly judge the otrr side, and
in consequence neighbors fall out and
children are encouraged to disagree
a twofold injury.
"The other boy didnt mean to hurt
you, Johnnie," was a wise woman's re
ply to her complaining son. "I have
seen you throw the ball in the same
way, and very likely you do other
naughty things, so you really have no
right to get mad. Besides, it will only
make other children laugh at you and
call you names. Now you must put a
stop to that by showing them that you
can be manly, and are willing to take
what you send. Go, my son; it really
hurts mamma to see you babyish."
Such a course as this mother pursued
was most sensible; it developed the
child'si sense of right, of justice and un
selfishness, x
If you. think it a slight thing,
mothers, you are mistaken. You take
the easiest way to rid yourselves of
the matter, really and metaphysically,
and caution him to "let those boys
alone."
If his playmates are really bad, it
is your business to know it, and guard
your son from contamination ; but you
do him an injury to keep him from the
company of other rollicking, sturdy,
good-natured boys boys in. the full
est sense of the word.
Some time he musit match his strength,
physically and morally, with.his kind ;
he must battle with life and its prob
lems when mother is powerless to
shield him from the world's hard
knocks.
Some time he and you must awaken,
to the knowledge that it is only by
courageously meeting disappointments
and discouragements that manljr
strength matures. Happy is the boy
who has had that wise help and that
sometimes wiser letting alone, when
occasion demands, which inures and en
nobles his moral muscle! Housewife.

- An Island of Mushrooms.
Washington possesses .jtrst now a
little wonder of the world in the form
of a most phenomenal growth of sev
eral edible species of mushrooms. This
wonder can be found on the island in
the Potomac on the south side of the
bathing beach, and west of the long
bridge. The rich soil made in recent
yeurs by the dredgings of the river
has produced a luxuriance of growth
of fungi that can probably not be seen
anywhere else, and if they continue
to increase in the ratio they have done
these last few months we may venture
to state that the entire island will
soon be one solid ma of edible musb-
rooms. Washington Star.
