Tae Care of Children.
""Wfeat more can I give my chil
dren than I am giving them?" asked
an anxious young mother of a matron
who had successfully reared a large
family. "I think, my dear, they
would he benefited by a little whole"
some neglect," was the reply. It
was the result of keen observation,
and a recognition of the fact that the
children in question were kept in a
continual state of worry by being
watched. The mother's'Sye and care
was so omnipresent that their spon
taneity was checked, and, as one re
marked, life for them was one eter
nal "don't."
Said another in recalling reminis
cences of childhoed: "When I was
a child I was rendered miserable by
being constantly watched and trained.
I was very fond of being alone, at
times. I could give no reason for it,
but I loved to stay in unoccupied
rooms, or finding a hiding place
among the bushes in the garden,
there to amuse myself with my own
plays and fancies. My mother wa3
suspicious that this meant evil of
some kind, and constant surveilance
and reprimand for going off by my
self is one of the unpleasant memo
ries of my childhood."
Nothing should be more carefully
respected and guarded than the indi
viduality of a child. The atmos
phere of home should be that of love
and safety, in which all the natural
inclinations of children should bo
allowed to act spontaneously. Their
wishes for employment and posses
sion of their own should be re
spected, their tastes in matters of
food and dress consulted in so far as
consistent with the convenience of
those around. "We have heard grown
up people tell of the distaste they
had when children to certain kinds
of food which they were compelled
to eat, or certain kinds of clothes
which they were compelled to wear.
It used to be a rule in many faiiilies
brought up in the Puritan style that
a child must eat all the crusts of his
bread, or all the fat on his meat, or
all the food on his plate. Such rules
are barbarious and we trust nearly
obsolete, yet children's taste in food
ought to bo more considered than it
is. Food that is distasteful should
never be forced upon them, and to
procure for them food which they
enjoy, will in most cases be to pro
cure such food as their systems re
quire. So of taste in dress. Children
may sometimes have an antipathy to
particular colors, or particular gar
ments, and a preference for others.
If possible these tastes should al
ways be respected, guarding, of
course, against encouraging or foster
ing vanity.
So of the occupations and employ
ments of children ; as far as possible
they should be left to follow their
own inclinations when they are harm
less. If your little girl would rather
play with hammer and tack than
with dolls, why, let her have them,
and see that she lias a board, or a
place where she can drive them with
out reproof. If your little boy always
wants to hitch the chairs up for
horses and can enjoy himself hap
pily as an imaginary stage driver,
set apart certain chairs for him and
let him drive unmolested and un
watched. If he begs for tools let
him have them ; if he wants pencils
or paint procure them for him. The
only way by which parents can se
cure the "confidence of their children
is first to show confidence in them.
Confidence must be won; it can
never be forced, not even from the
little ones who play around our
knees.
A happy childhood is the greatest
heritage parents can give to their
children. Its memory will brighten
and cheer the whole "of life. To be
happy it must to a certain extent be
unrestrained. The home play-ground
should have no dangerous places
from which children must be forbid
den and guarded. And in the shelter
of the home and the play-ground,
let the young spirits develop freely,
spontaneously, happily. Let them
have their little secrets, their own
possessions which no one shall inter
fere with, their own plays, and, so
far 'as it is consistent with the wel
fare and comfort of others, their own
way. Life will discipline them harshly
enough when parents can no longer
shield them from sorrow. (Chicago
Weekly Magazine.
CoartlBK Twins.
A young man who was courting a
girl who had a twin sister was terri
bly imposed upon. She went out of
town three weeks and employed her
sister as asuDstituto in the sittmg-up-at-night
business during her absence.
The young man called five nights
a week, as usual, and didn't leave
till after midnight, without detecting
the imposition. When he learned of
the trick that had been played
upon him, he got mad and broke off
the engagement. The twins looked
as much alike as two capital P's and
he said that he might be fooled into
marrying the one that he didn't love.
It was certainly a narrow escape,
though, come to think about it ; we
can't see what difference it would
have made as long as ignorance was
bliss and the twins didn't object.
Having young lady twins in the
house is rather a neat arrangement.
When a young man is so infatuated
that he calls seven nights a week,
they can take turns sitting up with
him and thus look fresh and wide
awake every other evening alter
nately, anyway. No sensible young
man should object to such an ad
mirable health-preserving scheme,
either. Drake's Magazine.
Handkerchiefs.
A handkerchief was the square of
fine linen formerly employed by
women to cover the head, but more
recently used in the hand, and not
as a covering only. The term hand
kerchief is not met with earlier than
in the fifteenth century, when in the
"Wardrobe Accounts o'f EdwardIV,"
we find " V dozen handcouver
chieffeB" are named as having been
made by one Alice Shapster, to
whom a payment had been made.
Modern handkerchiefs are to be had
of different dimensions, those for
women being smaller than those for
men. They are produced in silk,
both Chinese and Indian, as well as
in English ; of cambric, cotton, and
muslin; some are designed for the
pocket and others for the neck.
Some of the Indian silk ones are
in self-colors, others have patterns
upon them and are necessarily of
two colors. These are known as
bandana handkerchiefs. Cambric,
muslin, cotton and gingham handker
chiefs are to be had with hemstitch
or ribbon borders, and some are
more or less embroidered; others
have black or colored borders in va
rious designs.
Bales of colored cotton ltandker
chiefs are manufactured in this coun
try in Oriental cojors and designs, so
prepared to suit the native taste for
the Indian export trade. Trimmings
of lace applied to handkerchiefs
came first into fashion in the reign of
Queen Elizabeth.

A. Plienomennl Cucumber and Vine.
William H. O'Dwver, a lawyer,
living at No. 133 West One Hundred
and Twenty-third Street, has occupied
some of his leisure time during the
summer in amateur farming. One
of his labors has been to nurse the
California cucumber, and the result
is a dozen or more specimens of va
rious sizes. The largest of these is
four feet and ten inches long and
fifty-eight inches in circumference.
One daj', after a shower, the vine
prew two feet in three hours. He was
the only witness of this remarkable
phenomenon, but will vouch for the
truth of the narrative. New York
Tribune.
Robert Colly er's Little Ones.
In a street-car talk with Rev. Rob
ert Collyer the other day the genial
clergyman told me the follewing:
Little Ethel had just commenced
to studj- her catechism in my church
and her mother was hearing her sav
it.
' Now, Ethel," her mother com
menced, "what must you first do be
fore yon can have your sins forgiven ?"
"I des," said Ethel very thought
fully, "I des I must first go out and
commit the sin." St. Louis Repub
lican. Knljrhts or the Bath."
A few days ago a well-known so
ciety young man shocked one of his
lady friends by his ignorance of his
torv. It was after a dinner party at
his 'house, and she was telling him
what she had learned in her private
history clas3. One thing led to an
other, and all the time he was getting
into deeper water. At last she sur
prised him by inquiring : "Now, tell
me Mr. , what are the Knights
of the Bath V"
He stammered for a while, and
finally blurted eut: "Why, Saturday
nights, I suppose." Buffalo Courier
