IPUNI;SHM.ENIi OF CHILDREN. I think that in all matters affecting our children we cannot do better than take an example from the way in which our heavenly Father treats us, His children df a larger growth, wriees the wife of the Lord Bishop of Ripon, I one sure you will agree with me that suffering always follows sin, The man who takes more than is good for him will have a heed ache the next morning. The hand thrust into the fire will inevitably be burned. God's laws are not oapriaious in the physical or ;in the rnurol world. silvery time we transgress them we feel, the pain of it in some form or other, and morel. fully sus Suffering is God's finger post to warn us of danger. if Lite drunkard hid no hectdarhe he would have nothing to recall him Lo himself and remiod him the next day that be had behaved like an animal. If the fire did not. burn, the hand might be gone before Nye knew it. Suffering comes to us in mercy to say "This is the way; walk ye in IL." So with our children. We must teach them that certain things are wrong, and we can unly do this by attaching a penalty to them. How will you teach your child the sinful- ness of lying? Have' you ever tried to 'explain to a young child wby a He is sinful? It is extremely difficult to make them understand it, but if they suffer fox• it they soon learn that it is wrong. Now, suppose the punish them for a tie to-d'ty and let them off to -morrow, what effect will our oondliat have on the child's mind? It will not realize that lying is a sin, but it will begin to think that there is always a happy chance that It may get off the 0onse- gaennes of wrong, and so if: only learns to think itself very unlucky, anti you very unkind, when it does gel+ eaugtCt and has to suffer. If you make your punishment invariable, as I would plead, you show the child the inovi,- table eons5tiuences of sin from its earliest. days; it knows iteentlo1 es- cape the a0Oeegaeeme of its own ac- tion; it learns that the spiritual laws mina act be broken any more Lbail • e h• rhos of the physical wo l a you 3 d and p is have the advantage of being able to separate yourself entieely in the eltild's mind from the p''uniehmsnt. Ib is no longer mealier who punishes, but it is that the laws of the heavenly Father have been broken. Mother oan allow the child every sympathy, tan sorrow with it in its suffering, but elm will not Jot it off, for sloe knows In the long run that in teacititlg it suffering always follows wrongdoing slat is best arming the little ono for the battle of life. A prison ehoplalu told a nignifioant story of a oriminal who had been oonvicted over and over again and 'vas now about to suffer the extreme pen- alty of the law, "My mane' said the chaplain, "to what do you attribute your present state?" "To having al- ways been a successful liar," was the reply. Bow trust He had never learned that so surely as night follows day suffering follows sin. Isle had always oseapod as a child, and 's0 had always taken the off ehenua that he would continuo to es- cape, until he bad fallen to the low.. est depth of all. We would not wish such a fate for all of our dear ones, so let us be quite consistent in our training, not enpriciously omitting punisbmont one day and giving it the next, 'but teaohing them the inevi- tableness oe tbe suffering which fol- lows sin, through the early lessons 01 our home training. 10 UTILIZE A SMALL ROOM. Small rooms of a house which aro sometimes a problem to dispose of to the best advantage can be made at- tractive anti useful in several ways. Wbether a room is on the first floor, an intermediate one or at the top of the house, it lends itself to all sorts of pretty and odd suggestions. One of the fads of the hour is a German room, or "bier stubs." Tills room is made the exact counterpart of originals to be found in Heidelberg and other German cities. It is quaint and delightful. Once over the three - bold the therm of informal hospitality is immediately apparent. There even the German faculty is exerted to make' life pleasant: there is sure to be "solid comfort" provided. And so it in the "bier stubs." There are many other things than beer to be found in this room. In fact, ono forgets all about the beer in examining its makeup. In the hands of the skilled decorator imported tape- stries, old furniture, quaint earviug and designs and antiquated beer mugs become adjusted so as to produce most striking effects. The ceiling of the room is beamed. The floor is hard and dark. Quaint tapestries cover the walls from ceiling to floor; or are used in a border above a high dado. A big open fireplace is quite indis- pensable, and is fitted up with lots of tiling. From a crane over the and- irons and burning embers swings a big kettle. A row of beer mugs, bear- ing appropriate inscriptions, looks down from a shelf above. The furni- ture of the room is oak, exquisitely carved. In every available nook and corner are,plaoed deer beads and stuff- ed birds. Suspended from the ceiling are powderhorns and old armor. Paint- ings depicting scenes of the hunt hang on Lhe walls, where the tapestry docs not cover them, All Ibe small trifles which denote cheery cnmpttnionship such as mugs, pipes and cards, are scattered about on the table and shelves. A small room under the roof was recently fitted up to advantage as a attud,y, ,The sdhelmu of funnlshing and decoration is Gothic. In order to produce Ibis old style of room in a modern house a false room wets built inside the other. The walls of this ounsist of Gothic panelling of cult about eight feet high. Above ;se. dark green felt frieze. The ceiling is berm- ed, Probably the most attractive parts of the icon' era the windows, narrow and pointed with seats that widen out from the window, until at the edge they are three Hines as wide its the window itself. Small cabinets of Gothic design, with battlements and pillars, eland here and there about the room. The Gothic arch is introduced in dee design of Minim and table, and the whole is quite eensislenl• end historical. A cosay boudior, fitted up' on the Turkish plan, Will satisfy the prevail_ ing taste for Ori:entlai surrounding. A square room pan be easily converted into one octagonal In shape by rewall- ing with tapestry panels, A canvas dome shaped ceiling should finish this arrangement. Bour.ab the aides of this octagonal room can'be turned into niches if desired.

LIDS. `Ibis Is very disaraeaing and often serious form oe ootijunativilie, or in - Domination of the mimes membrane covering the eyeballand the lids. As Its name implies,it le usunile 000 - fined to the Membrane whisti lines the lids; but it may ttl00 ureep on to rho eye portion, and even when it does not it often excites other troll- blas there which may endanger the sight. •' U 1 g t siso,ise is mull nate less aum- d inon than it used to be. At oua time it was almost constantly to be found 10 orphan otsyhl10s, suhuole, armies, and wherever numbers ,of people lived together in more or less intimate oon- taot, and often in such planes exten- sive epidemios of tile disease occurred, We now know thus the Lroublo is contagious, and may be spread from one person to another through rho common use of towels, pillows and so forth ; and this knowledge has led to a marked reduction in the praval- 01100 of the affection, through the en- forooment of isolation and the ob- servation of greater cleanliness. The disease usually hogins in an acute' form with redness of the eye- balls, swelling or the fids, itching and watering of the eyes. and an extreme intolerance of light. The eyes feel hot and tender, and them is usually a slight gluiry discharge. At this stage the symptoms are the same as those of an ordinary conjunc- tivitis or cold iii the eye, but when Gee acute stage begins to subside, the eyes do not get well. The under sur- face of the lids becomes euvored with little granules of a deep red color. After a while these granulations may ulcerate, and then the disaharge from the eye increases and becomes thick and yellowish. Following this stage, which Is sonic - times very slight in degree, the mem- brane lining the lids becomes dry and parobmenGlike, and contracts, rolling' the lids inward, so that the lashes rub against the eyeball. This rubbing anuses irritation, blood -vessels grow down over the upper port, and a fleshy mass forms whicl,t remains as a permanent disfigurement, as wellas an impediment to vision when it en- croaches upon the pupil. The treatment of granular lids is very difficult, for the disease is ex- ceedingly obstinate. Ilor this reason prevention is a matter of the ut- most importance. A oliild who suf- fers uffers from this, or any eye affection, should have his own wash -basin, soap, towels, napkins and handkerchiefs. He should sleep alone, and in every possible way should be prevented from coming in close ooniaat with others, so long at. tenet es there is any dis- charge from the eyes. WOMAN AND DATING, Womea are notoriously careless about their own food. One could wish that those who neglect their duty of properly laid efficiently nourishing their own budies would study the sta- tistics of insanity and its increase. among us. The old Latin proverb tells us that our nim should be to keep a sound mind in a sound budy. "Drink awl hurry nod worry send most of the poen to au asylum." says a doctor, "while love affairs, combin- ed with a lack of food, throw most. of the women: oft their balance," 'I'Jhe love affairs would bare but (tale in- fluenoe over them if they were pro- perly fed; but among the illusions in whlch girls and women .indulge is that, as they 0510 very little about their food, so the leek of it 0annet have much effect upon them.
