Keep Pace With the Child,
When the child is a tiny creature,
the parent must exercise self-control,
gentleness, tact-—never allowing her
temper to interfere with judgment or
to cause her to speak harshly or in
anger, says Mothers’ Magazine, As
years go on, the most loving child is
also a critic. “Mother's way” has here-
tofore seemed to him the best way.
It rests with the mother to make It
seem so always, To this end she must
keep pace with her boys and girls In
thought, in education, in new ideas.
Parents cannot go to school again, but
they can have their minds alert and
open for all new facts, And they
can watch thelr own manners and
language so that the children can con.
tinue to use these as models,
Tanlac is the result of
study, experimentation and research

“The Right Kind of Child."
Give a little love to a child, and you
get a great deal back, It loves every-
thing near it, when it is the right kind
of child-would hurt nothing, would
give the best it has away, always, if
you need it==does not lay plans for
getting everything in the house for it-
self, and delights in helping people;
you cannot please it so much as by
giving It a chance of being useful, in
ever zo little a way. ~John Ruskin.

WATER “CURES” OLD BELIEF
in Both Ancient and Modern Days
Fountains Have Been Considered
Pools of Healing,
When you drink mineral water do
you do It because you belleve in its
curative properties or because you are
superstitious? Or both?
Extraordinary virtue has at-
tributed to the waters of pools and
streams hy nearly all peoples of all
times. Among the modern Greeks to-
day we find the remnants of the old
pellef that the water from the Grotto
of Macedonia would cure all those
who drank if they entered the cave
with a lamp or torch in one hand and
a pitcher in the other, filled the pitch-
er and left some scrap of clothing be-
hind, going silently and not turning
back from “being scared by the noises
that ensued,” And not only In Greece,
but In England, there are many spots
where the bushes around a
pool will be hung thick with shreds of
clothing left by those who came to be
cured,
According to modern Greeks the
mineral springs are under the protec-
tion of the Nereids, and the virtue of
the water depends upon It being drunk
in silence and with appropriate sacri-
fice, Old Church of England canons
dating back to 1102 forbid the wor-
ship of wells without the bishop's per-
mission, attributing the to
heathenishness and a survival of the
worship of the fountain as a
of the source of life. It was pointed
out then that the naming of wells was
a8 old as the days of the Patriarchs
Abraham and Isaac are both
spoken of in the Bible as having done

different matter.

Historic Stratford.on.Avon,
The history

may be tracexd back for a period of
1,100 years, and as birthplace of
Shakespeare is has become a

Shakespeare incurred by stealing

places worthy of visiting in the old

How to Know Poetry,
We literates have been taught to
read poetry, and taught also that it
is highly commendable to enjoy it. In
order to know what kind of poetry
ought-to be especially enjoyed, we read
other books, written by critics. In or-
der to understand what the poetry
that ought to be admired means, we
read other books by professional
grammarians. By the time we have
finished this preparatory reading, we
are somewhat confused. We are In
doubt as to what poetry actually Is,
and how it differs from prose. In this
predicament we fall back on the print.

India's Fertility,
India, more than half the size of

between the level monotony of the
