The woman who can truthfully be said to
lead a narrow life in the sense of being a

no interest whatever beyond her husband

at all upon her— who does not visit her sick
neighbor, nor belong to any book club or
sewing society or church society. Herpaint

Between Parents and Children.
I sometimes observe the comity which
exists in familios—that is, the reciprocal
sentiments that pass between parents and
children. I never saw a boy yet who discov
ered much affection for "the old man" who
licked him upon occasion. He did it again and
he lied about It, too, if it would redeem the
whip. In families wfcqre they keep a whip
you do not see mneb caressing.

Warning Asainkt Rope J
A physician says: "I would warn children
against rope jumping, and would advise par
ents and teachers to prohibit it under aJ cir

injury to the bones and joints of the legs,
and to the spine, but young girls frequently
receive other injuries which cause them un
