CHILD'S ADVICE TO PARENTS.

How Parents and Children Can Improve Themselves" is the title of a must entertaining serios of articles printed in the Manchester Guardian, and written by Catharine W. Alexander at the age of fourteen." In contrast to the fancies of Daisy Ashford, this writing reveals the critical and reforming thoughts of a child. The following are extracts:

*

I expect you would like to know what sort of literature to give your children. When they are first beginning to learn to read don't give them So-Fat and Newmow," it makes them sentimental at once. You ought to give them either lively, cany books, or else dry, dull ones which won't work on their braina." Up till about thirteen' they ought to read books like " Masterman Ready" What Katy Did." Mopsa the Fairy," "Norse Fairy Tales," and children's adventure and school books. Over the age of thirteen they could begin reading a few exciting novels such as "The Red Cockade," "Vice. Yeraa" "The Scarlet Pimpernel," she," and others.

Over fourteen children ought to begin to read Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Mrs. Gaskell, Francas Burney, and others of those famous authoresa's books. They can gradually go on to Thackeray, Hudson, Scott, Trollope, Stevenson; and to all the great writers. Children over twelve ought to very much enjoy John Buchan and the lighter books of Arnold Bennett, such as Hugo, The Grand Babylon Hotel," and The City of Pleasure," all of which are very thrilling and blood-curdling books, and some children ought not to read them st night.

From an early age your children should be taught to sew and to darn, also to be able to hath themselves, and do gardening a little and a little sweeping and cooking, snd to do their own hair and shoes. A great thing that heaps of children lack is being able to cut their right band nails easily.

Do not put curl paper on your girl's hair, it makes her look very common and conceited. See at once if your child has bad teeth and take precautions. Give her a wire at once if necessary so that her teeth will have time to right themselves. And if she has bad eyes do not delay in getting her spectacles, as her eyes will daily grow worse otherwise. I should let your children read the news- paper from infancy, as it takes a long time for the modern generation to begin to take an interest in the welfare of their country. But don't encourage them to read the Perannale" or the deaths and marriages and births, and especially all the divorces und bankruptcies, and the murders and "News in Brief."

Parents make great mistakes sometimes in the treatment of their children. When they are naughty or slightly vez their parent, the parent often gets furiously angry all in B

minute, which naturally makes them very despicable, and their children despise them for their temper accordingly. What they should do is to be gentle and talk quietly and firmly to the lebellious child, who will listen quietly in a way which it never would do otherwise.
