Paragraphs and Items. One of the most frequent minor mistakes of parents is the making of childien slaves to their clothes. I know -whole families of children v. ho have never realty' breathed a free breath, so many cautions have they re ceived about soiling or tearing their clothes, md in mch ftar ha e they stood of the con sequences of such petty disasters. It is wicked and ci t:el to di ess children in such a manner that their freedom is restricted by thoughts of their clothing and all the frolic some pleasures of childhood practically for bidden to tLem. There are feu- things which make one more unhappy than to see a num ber of little girb standing around on a Minny lawn of a summer morning all dressed in im maculate finery, and v. ith dainty shoes upon, their feet, to whose existence one solitary childish 1 omp v.-ould prove fatal. I have seen them many a time standing aroand in tins manner, not daring to do a tingle naturjl or childUh thing for fear of their clothes lwing soiled and they being re proached thei ef or. It is pitiable and exas perating. The folly of such mothers is only equaled by their cruelty, for it is both foolish and cruel thus, to lepress joung childien. How can such children have health the di ilxvine biitbright of all children.' How can they develop any of their natural powers? How can they lay the foundations of any edu cation w hit h Is v 01 tb. the name unless they are allowed a chance to make their own fico observation of the phenomena of the natural 01 11 ? A irfect unconsciousness of their clothing is ono of the natural i ights of chil dren. They should Iw so dressed that they 'hull not fcl their clothing as restricting any natural action, and in such material as can be easily cleaned made so simple that the number of pi?es v hich goes to the laundry is of no imiKrtanec. Thus only can they bo ically hnnpy and free, and capable of de sloping their bodies and minds in a natural manner. Strong, heay shoes, fice irom tho bih h""3s which make cripples of so many of our Utile girls, aie indispensable. A gii I ha- as nun h right to these things as a boy. And she has tho same right to 1 tin and romp, to raco thiough the dowy gnus, and to climb tho highest tiee if she l.e so minded. If she could be saved from her clothes, liberated fiom her shoes, cmanci-pat-.I fiom hnr complexion, and allowed to lead a natural, simplo life till she is obliged to .'Lssume the propiieties of joung ladyhood, there would be more healthy and heart anil happy women in this land, more happy homts, and fewer little graves on tho hill side. The slavery of drc-.i will begin soon enon0h for all gn Is; let them at least be fico fiom its tyranny in childhood. They need not l tastelessly or unattractively attired oven to do this. Simplicity m clre.sK is always charming in the young, and for children it is the only propriety. And with simple attiro give them plenty ot freedom to enjoy it. Don't lay too many lcstrictions upon them. Let them enjoy life in their own way. Don't try to cramp them all into ono mold. Lot each one deM;lop along tho hue of his own indi iduahty. Thus only can there Le any originality in this commonplace world. Chicago Tribune. Helen Hunt J.jrkson'H Sensit Iycim-s. Xo on" loved lcauty moio than she; no one could depreciate the body moio when it began to lo-e its freshness. For strong young men m their prime, for blooming guLs and nmtuio womanhood, she had an admit a 1 ion :is frank and almost as unqualified as a Giec k's. But her very adoration of plrysical locliuess made her peculiarly sensitive to inijieifectio'i and the dismal accompaniments of Mckuess. In her own case, w hen accident bi ought infirmity upon her, it was icceived at first with a shudder of disgust, a kind of qui "k i'2ij.u!-ie scorn, of which, peihai'S, on'j noble natures aie capable. She spoke of her illness as "a career of disgrace." It was pot, : robabh , for the loss of creatine com forts, nor ecn tho long train of afflictions which it entailed; these she could endure; they proved, in fact, :5 field for tlw exeiciso of a fortitude which was little short of heroic. Health meant liberty, its lov, an endless t-ries of iiMiittions affecting her actnity aad the fr.o play of her latelltg. ace. She ies:ited them as something outside of her u'lf, whuli levrel only contempt and clnistising. Her soul, she thought, could lift itself aboe them was above them. Throughout her bufferings, she kept her MHininrcs cf spirit, her serenity unci elas ticity . And she continued to w ork. This, 1 1 deed, was an integral pait of her creed. To idlers sad dilettanti she had always tinned a cold shoulder; they had no pl.i"o in her scheme of tiling. If her antipathy assumed nt tia.es a humorous form, it wis none tho lev, ical and deep seated. It would have ratified tin most ngid economist to hao Ik.trd her vt lorth tliis thesis of lite as a period of ai-tie produ.tion. JShi rejoiced to call herself, and bo called, a working woman; there u.v no better title under hen en to her sense, and her life was a long enforcement of the belief, a iraitful illustration ot how it cou'd be praclun-l with dignity and success. riiiKvton lleviow.
