A baby deprived of crusts and crackers at the period when the desire comes to chew and fed strictly a milk diet long after solid foods should have been intro- duced, is almost certain to have the instinct to chew all but killed in him, and aroused again only after long, patient coaxing and training. The same is true with the -child's instinct to love. Love for parents and brothers and sisters is taken as a natter of course. They love the child and the ehild loves them, But a child's love is not bestowed wholly on humans: he has an instinctive de- sire to love all animals. And it is this love instinct which many parents fail to foster. An unwise mother can change his baby love to fear and hate. "Bad old cat! Get out of here!"—these words supplemented with a kick or cuffing, will amuse the baby, when kitty scratches but they will never induce love and kindness in him. Later, when the child hare fully understood about hurting things, he will begin to lavish his love on every- thing, . His tender heart will be touch- ed at sight of anything being killed. Yet there are certain "deaths" which must occur.

Later a neighbor from across the way came in and there was small talk of varying nature, and be- fore they knew it the seamstress was again telling things about friends of them all—people for whom she sewed —little intimate things which were not meant to be cast broadside for every one to know. The neighbor sat quietly listening, glancing up now and then from the hem she was carefully basting and when the girl had stopped talking she asked quietly, "Does Mrs. Brown wish you to tell this?" The seamstress looked up quickly, as did the others in the room, and answered defiantly, "Well, she didn't tell me not to tell!" "And so you tell things you bear in confidence unless you are warned not to repeat them?" the neighbor asked evenly, but the girl did not reply, im- mediately starting the sewing ma- chine very fast. But when she had finished the seam the neighbor again took up the subject. Tunnel Under Mt. Elanc. Many people think Mont Blanc is In S\Sitzerlanll, but geographlcally it le idt.

"We should be safe-deposit boxes for all that we hear, take great care who gets a peek in or knows just what lies stored away. If our friends so honor us as to give us their precious confidence to keep we should guard them most carefully and see that none of them are carelessly left where others can steal then!. None should take then out but those who put them there!" The figures were plain enough for any one to understand and the seamstress was surprised at the revelation, for she was really not intentionally mean, just thoughtless, "I always feel," grandma said quietly, "when people bring gossip to me, that they take away something to the next person; I sort of feel dubious about then!. There is an old saying that rings true—'Those who bring a tale will carry one.' " "No finer compliment can be given. us than for some one to confide in us," Marcia said, really feeling sorry for the girl and wishing to get into pleasanter channels. "When we think about it, there are very few -to whom we feel safe in going to tell those little intimate things so close to our heart." "Well, I know of a woman to whom I never hesitate going, a woman who has for years -been the confidante of hundreds of people, and she has never been known to break that confidence," mother said mysteriously, as she ex- amined the ruffling which had just been finished. "Really, I didn't mean any harm," the seamstress said, with tears in her voice. "Everybody talks." "But after the harm is done it can't be undone, you see," Anne added. "So let's not do the harm."

The best-known case la that of Car- lyle's great masterpiece, "The French Revolution," a worst of colossal labor and learning, which had cost the Sage of Chelsea many months of labor and thousands of references, Visitors to Carlyle's !louse, in Moyne Row, may still see there the few charred leaves which are on that is left of the preas- ous manuscript of the first volume. He lent it to John Stuart Mill to read, and, as in the case of Miss Flam- ilton, a careless servant, taking ir for • rubbish, lit the fire with it! Poor Mill had to go and confess the awful blunder. Carlyle, though by no means a smooth-Lenlpered Blau, took the news surprisingly well, and sat to work to write the volume all over again. Ile confessed afterwards that it was perhaps a blessing in disguise, . as he improved its work at the second time of writing. Sir Isaac Newton had a similar misfortune, but in Ids case it was not a careless plaid, but a mischievous puppy, who did the dire deed. New- ton was very fond of animals, and be left itis little dog alone in his study with some metllematical Calculations which had cost hint months of hard work.
