Some parents, be it said to their shame, consider money spent
in this way as unnecessary or even wasted. A more erroneous idea of
economy never existed. Books are great educators. A mother should be
more careful to provide her children with good books than fine clothes;
should spend more time in teaching and training them than in decking
their bodies for show and display. Mothers, if you are obliged to
practice economy, do not commence to save in your children's books and
papers; let it be in something else first. While, however, the mind is
being trained and improved, care should be taken that the spiritual part
is not neglected. While your children are reading books by various
authors, have a care that they do not neglect the reading of the Bible,
the Book of books.

Treat Them Kindly.
Most of us are fond of pets, and it would be hard to find the boy or
girl who didn't want either a dog or a kitten. It is small wonder, for a
dog is a very faithful friend, and anything more delightful than a tiny,
fluffy kitten, full of fun and spirits, it would be hard to find. But
sometimes these pets do not have a very easy time of it. Only a few days
ago we saw a little boy out on the sidewalk with his kitten. He was
enjoying himself, but the kitten wasn't, for he would pick it up and
throw it across the yard, till poor pussy mewed pitifully.
