In a letter to the Chicago Inttr-O.-tun, Huffalo Hill write concerning French Jioliteness: It i genuine courtesy, ami while the form of conduct may appear extravagant to some American., it hc"iiis to me that they arc genuine expression of regard. I cannot help feeling that the Froiich are extremely hospitable and generous. That is, they do not condemn a mii!i before he is jtroved guilty. They willingly takes his word lor what he is, and do what they can to promote his in terests. A great deal has been written in the past about the Frenchman. fickleness, hi love of disjilay, etc. I have not found this judgment justified by my exjteri cnee. I have been concerned hero in giving an entertainment characteristic, of certain features of Ameiieim lift. Wo do not jturado in sjiaugled clothing, we have no grand scenery, no spectacle of tho ordinary kind; in fact, nothing has been done, to give any iirtiticial effect to our jterformauce. We appear in exactly tho same costume in which wo rodo ubout the plains, and every feature of our jiroportics, to use a theatrical term, is of tho plainest description. Do tho Frenchmen dudike it, accustomed as they uro to seeing a wealth of splendor iu their public entertainments? Not at all. They aro deejily impressed wit h the jtlaiu genuineness of the exhibition wo give. In all our experience I have not known a people who camo moro repeatedly thai the French to see our fepresenUitioii. They take pains to inform me and my wise sprang from his beat at Tluodosia : associate of their appreciation of the homely feature, which we bring into tho foreground. All this would seem to show that the French are anything but supcrlieial in I heir observation. They care moro for the jtlaiu, rough representation of tho jti oneer'a life than for tiie gaudy glitter of the circus. Further than that, they cor rectly appreciatj the individual features the Wild West.

Don't trample mercilessly under foot the wishes of a child, but respect them as far as possible. Don't be constantly menacing a child with "I'll whip you," or "I'll put a stick over you." Let your promise of chas tisement and iullictioii of tho same bo of seldom occurrence, but if you jtroiuise, keep your promise. Don't jmnish a child in auger, but let him know that you dislike the task, but perform it for his good.

Don't feel it beneath your dignity to give a child the reason for a refusal, if practicable so to do; if it is not, your former conduct should have inspired such confidence toward you that ho will cheerfully submit, though ho docs uot understand your motives.
