store, in the spring season. It is little 
wonder that a child’s interest wears away 
rapidly when obliged to strain every 
muscle to accomplish his work. It is a 
mistake to purchase the cheapest grades 
of floral tools, for they will not stand 
rough usage ; but a moderate-priced set, 
made of good steel, will wear for years. 
Teaching the Baby. —It is not too 
severe to say that mothers have them¬ 
selves to blame if a child grows unlovely, 
says a writer in Harper’s Bazar. Never 
let its passions run away with it, and it 
will not know their power. A well-dis¬ 
ciplined baby may be trained not even to 
cry from pain, after it can understand. 
Usually the child is taught to cry, and 
taught most of its naughtiness, by mother 
or nurse. You think not? Just watch 
yourselves, and see what you are doing. 
Baby does not cheerfully kiss you. See : 
“Mamma cry if baby will not kiss her. 
Boo-hoo !” And mamma makes believe 
to cry in her hands, till baby pulls her 
fingers away from the deceiving eyes, 
and mamma laughs, and does not always 
remember when she stops boo-hooing to 
exact the kiss. Of course, by a mere ani¬ 
mal process of reasoning, baby learns to 
cry for what it wants—has it not had the
