{-35 tif One who has had experience in bring- ing up children, knows how awkward they are to take hold of things by the wrong handle, and make work for them- selves, and maybe for you, even while their intentions are the very best. 'The work of training children is so distasteful to many, and the dullness ack of aptitude and gentral get- tiveness they display is so trying . patience, that they would rather work than try to teach such 11rv learners. This may be well for , it saves their tempers, and often wince, but it is the ruin of the child or futu re usefulness. Tr, requires some- thing of Spartan courage totrain child- rem The resolute means you take to en- force obedience to rules for perfect work, they do not accept as kindness, and, likely as not, are cross and b \rverse and 20 in opposition to your desires, and to what they know is right, and so make unpleasantness all around. This applies to your own children, just as well as to other peoples ; but the maxim that "he is not fit to rule who has not first learned to obey" is a good one, and children must be taught obedience or they will never be qualified to lead and man ege affairs successfully in mat- ure years. I have found it very hard to teach some of them even to spread the tablecloth the same way every time it is used ; so that a tidy person can get the benefit of his tidiness by having his own place clean, while a careless slat- tern can also reap the fruit of his work. I have had to require them to take everything off the table after it was all set. and we were almost ready to ring for dinner, that the cloth might be relaid according to rule. Nothing short of resolute means will teach accuracy in business; and itr is in little affairs that we must begin, and not let the habit of neglect and haphazard working be formed. but those trained (o it. Farmers and their wives tind as much ineonvtnirnee as a tycl ss nt'ieirinabil- ity to find helpers who show n willing- ness to exert themselves in the interest of their employers, The indoor work is perhaps most diliicult of all to pro- vide capable help for. The opinion seems to prevail that housework will get done somehow, and that it is not of much account anyway. If a house- keeper wishes to put out her washing, she will find a tough struggle to secure a woman who can or will wash the clothes clean and starch [hr-m properly for ironing- The complaints I hear from those who have, tried this process of getting a burden lifted from their shoulders are endless. They say the clothes will come home yellow or cloud, ed with indigo ; not stercherl at all. or stiff as boards; table linen starched and calico dresses left without ', grass sad weed stains on sh ets and skirts; colored clothes that emit the odor of a guano mill when the hot iron touches them; buttons removed, laces ripped, fliuonels shrunk, prints faded, merino stockings with the lint of the wash upon them , clothes tlopped to pieces in the wind, or rubbed to shreds 0n the board; colored and white once thrown wet in the basket together ; articles mislaid or lost, and many other mistakes that it isjust as handy not to do as to do, and which tries the housekeeper’s soul as they are revealed to her, one by one. When a really careful and good laundry l woman is found one had best hold fast to her, for she is "a pearl of great price" in this. age of careless workers. It is just as easy to handle clothes in the wash deftly, and with the nicety so essential to cleanse without defacing them, but it w'ill never be done by any It is utterly impossible to teach the wild boys I have had for a few years to put things in their places. They had no early training in the care of things, and like colts that have not been handled or harnessed until they are several years old, are almost past breaking into reliable service. I have one now that is incorrigible. I have pursuaded and punished and scolded by turns enough one would think to make his "two eyes like stars start from their spheres," but he only hangs his head penitently until I am through, and then sweetly goes off, and in five min- utes or less time I may hear him sing- ing or whistling, "Look ever to Jesus, he will carry you through." This polite and amiable, and I might say pious, contempt for my authority is exhibined in more ways than I can recount. That "a stitch in time saves nine" is no truer, than that early training in handiwork saves a world of trouble later Apprentice work is never the best. Only practice makes perfect. The first garment that a woman makes, the first baking that she does, the first pound of butter she tosses on her ladle, the first letter she writes, or the first The scarcity of good workers, and the difficulty there is to find enough to do the businEss of the country in a first-class way, is a matter for thought and for action. There never was a time when so many skilled artisans were required, and the meagre numbers of them are altogether inadequate to the need. This is not b cnnse- people are scarce, but because people have not been trained. THE W0fhME OF CAREFUL TRAINING.

She is interested and sympathetic, but never presuming. She is so soft of voice that but one in an audience may hear: her speech. Moved by Mr. Cowan, seconded by Mr. Mitchell-That a. new order be made out, in favor of George Burnett, President of the Wsterloo and Wool. wteh Plowing Society, to replace an order given in June 1889, the same having never been presented for pay- ment.--Csrvied. She is clean, kind and quiet-quiet in her dress, her manner, her step and her speech. She is restful. She is good. She is womanly. Minutes of preceding session read and approved. Moved by Mr.Cowan,aeconded byMr. Mitchel-That the clerk be instructed te notify the parties interested, resid- ing on lots 1 and 2 in the 2nd Com, and on lots 101 and 102 in the Upper Block, that they may pay off the mort- ages held by this municipality against their properties, at any timeF--Carried. Moved by Mr. McKay, sec. by Mr. Shoemaker-That the following ac- counts be paid, and the reeve grant his order on the treasurer for the several amounts, viz c- Shall we in this closing decade of the nineteenth century be found growing, indilferent to this important trust? Can we not see in the unrest of the people the unwillingness to work in any sort of a. way without exorbitant reward that something is fearfully “rotten in the state of Denmark?." Has the home not done its work well, that extravn gant tastes and hab'ts have crept in, and love of ease and idleness been en- throned that is now cropping out in corrupt legislation, and in gigantic combinations for gatheriug up the peo- ple’s money in ways that will not bear the full light of of day? Shall we train our wee ones in book lore alone, and forget the drill of the hands whereby daily bread must be earned? Let us not forget that the browsweating decree has never been cancelled, and that those best beloved who preside in the happiest homes, have oftener than otherwise been carefully trained by some good mother's side, in the countless little arts and indispensable needs of the family life. The Head of the Sidneys wants me to add a postscript for him, and say he is sorry he was not put through a little sharper when he was young, so that he would not, have to be trained quite so much now.-Farm Journal. me Members all present. The reeve in the chair. ‘ J'he Ancients were not unmindful of the importance of training. Solomon said. "Spare the rod and spoil the clsikl.'i Solon, the law giver of Athens, required the youth to learn a. business or trade that would serve as a means of a liveli. hood ; and this measure brought labor into honor at a time when it was held dishonorahls. Great care was exercised in the training of the children of Persia and Sparta. After seven years of age they were guarded ns belonging to the State, and were, educated away from the. enervating influence of home. Luther, the refo mer, saw the necessity of early training, his own having been of u. severe character. He said, "It is ~dilli- cult to make, old dogs docile and old rogues pious.' He wisely insisted upon family discipline us a measure of public safety, and said, "Where now father and mother govern badly and let tlild- ren have their own way, there can neither city, town, village, district, Principality, kingdom, nor empire be. well and peacefully governed." The Rabbinical law stands, “he that teach- eth not his son a trade doth the same as if he taught him to be M. thief." anything that she. does is never her masterstroke, Waterloo Township Council.
