ARE ECU RUDE TO YOUR
CHILDREN?
eernmon sin among otherwise de-
cent enough parents is` rudeness to-
ward their children. We little real -
fee the; sufferipgs ehildren undergo
fromhurt feelings.
The most inexcusable form Of par-
ental rudeness is the reproof of chil-
dren in the presence of others. You
would far better strike your child in
the face than say some cutting 'Sar-
casm to him that humiliates him be-
,
fove strangers.
There is hut one way to make your
child uniformly -respectful and polite
to' you and to all he iimets, and that
is to be uniformly polite to hIni and
considerate of his feelings.
The ornament of a home be couetegy,
Would you like a few sampleof
the common rudeness. of parents?
Here they aree,-
e,
"Get up out ofthat chair. Don't
yots know enough to offer yetir chair
to a lady?"
"Look at your face! Go and wash
yeueself this minute!"
"Leave the table!"
"So you didnete pass your examiea-
tion? Well, that's' ebout what I ex-
pected!"
"Quit that!" e
"Go away!"
"Now doe't try to be emarty!"'
All these before company.
. No child was ever improved by
these tactics. They irritate, excite,
rebellion, and where they do not pre-
maturely harden the child's feelings
they are the cause 'of intense pain.

preacher -was vieiting at rat father's
house. Dinner was over and only my

stood about listehing to their conver-
sation. By and by I went up to the
table, took 'a piece of cake and stood
eating it. The preacher thereupon
proceeded to administer si 'sharp re -
"Don't you know," he said, "that it

if you want more,to eat, sit up and

"Come here, son," said my father;
and, putting hie arra ,about 'ine, as

grin, he 'said: ' -
"Mr. Barker, I- alwaYd speak re-
