• THAMINV OF PARENTS.
A writer in the Century for May supplies
a long fell want. Be lays down it•platform
for the proper trainiug of parents by their
children'. Since it has become tne habit of
theyeuog folks to reverse the old order ,of
thiPge—inetead of giving obedience, de-
manding service in all things from their
fathers and mothers—such imamate= has
been pre.emieently necessary. It id con-
tended that Oa parents are contented to
take is subordinate paition in their own
household, as they have not been hurled
Men their position and authority by the
ouperior power of the ohild, the latter is
without the rights of the .00nqueror, and
peg:extend to its elder Gauges that
oration and kindly eyninethY whioh'
they have earned. First - of all, the
child should discover, what it actually
wants. Having settled that ' point,
it bowmen an imperative duty
to no longer allow the parents
to grope in the dark, 'but to make the
wants RMAiva SO them in clear and dietinot
terms. , Many fathom and mothers have
spent days, weeks, and even kinger trying,
to disoover what will satisfy the oravingeof
their ohildren, and havegiven upi in despair.
• This is asking too rancho! the parents, and
few persons have, mental. vigor enough to
long continue snob an earnest search after
what their duties really are. The aseistanoe
proposed is all the more neoesearY, when it
a oonsidered that in but too manyoases
the only apparent reason for the existence
of the parent is to confer benefit on the
child. To manage parents properly, ir is
desirable that the task should begin at as
early an age as poestble. If the restriotiOne
of filial control. are imposed .during the
first few yeare of parental life, it Will
be moon easier to keep is parent 'in
check than if • he ' be left to
do as he pleasee * for the first
dozen years. But if, air has 'sometimes
been -the oaSe, the training of the parent is
neglected by the elder childrenin the
family, that is no reason why is young
member of the household should give up
in despair. We are twinned by the
authority from whiott we have quoted that
at is n9t tst all uncommon for the youngest
child of is family to he able .to step to the
front, and show to the others hejv a parent
may be guided and regulated by the
exercise of firm will and determined
action. Above allthings, violent meacores
m the training of parents are to. be avoided
It would prove a herculean task for
child, when its progenitor misbehaved; to
apply the same methods of castigation as
were in vogue When the conditions of
domestic life wererevereed. A mental box'
on the parental ear should also be
avoided.. It 4a parent regards any Of the
'habits of his offspring as objeotkinable and
dangerous, though thcirdughly 'understood
and not at all disapproved of by his ail
spring, let the ohild treat him as he would
treat &nervous horse frightened at a road-
side illusion. The parent should be taken
figuratively by the Jbridle,and _made to
understand that what appeared to him. a
vision of mental or physicial ruinto is
young person, or a frightful object in the
way of rational progrese, ia nothing but is
pleasant form of intelleotual tecreation.' It
should never be forgotten by the child
ruler thatparents, if they would he rew,
doted always docile and obedient, hoist be
, kept wader. Eternal vigilitace_itt the pm°
of libertY, it its also the pried of supreinaoy.
Sane parents are too busy amassing
wealth £,r their children to spend when
they have left this earthy sphere,. to
interfere with the . progtees and ao.
tions of their offspring. Any repre-
sentative 'of this clash , of progenitorel
may safely be lett alone ; the more
he pursues his labors in that direction, the
easier will be the 'task of his children in
keeping him in oheek. Probably. the •moat
important remit of the training.under con.
ederation is its mfluence on the trait*,
Once is child has reduced hie patents to a
stateof docility, and Bees them. day by
day, year by year, contented' to live in a
state of subservience, he cannot foil to
appreciate what is expected of 'him as a
parent. This will make the kale of the
coming child easier. The old adage should
therefore be altered to; Train uptie parent
in the way he should go, and when you are
old you will know how 'to go that way
yourself.

Mr. Kitteon'a homes have been kept
during the winter in order that they Might

is to be !wand at the home of their owner.
They will bo found on the turf during the
coming season, and, should no accident be

ing record of 2 10, made at Chicago bet

"Did you ever notioe the debilitating
effects of spring air on the human 87/awn?"
"Debilitating ?" repeated the noted
phyrician who had been asked. I don't
think that; the right term for it --enervat-
ing, intoxioating, and soporiferous—yes, ail i
thie spring air s, eepecnally upon the. young
and strong: But debilitating it re not.
The tepid air, laden with the first sweell
breath of awakening nature, tiontainiog the
gladsome nigh et earth rending her wintry,
icy lettere, carries to the lunge an atmos-
phere of unusual strength, and the human
system, epfeebled by the thin, attenuated
air of winter, cannot at once stand it.
After a little while—a few clap' generally
epffioe--however, we all get used to it."
" DM'S it a fact that the spring hie knoolis'
out the weak and feeble, and sonde them to
the grave that hes been yawning for them
all through the winter? "
"Why, yes—that ia s fact, generally
speaking. It takes robust natures to endure
this sudden ohapge of weather without
serious damage. On the youthful and
etrong, though, early 'spring ha+ an intoxi-
cating influence, like rioh, pure wine. It
sends all your blood tingling thriugh the
veins up to the very finger-tips. It brings
out all the vitality there is in you. And
that is why poets of all ages hove always
made spring and love synonymous terms."
Mrs. Stowe has written abaker's dozen,

ingly let them live.
