,RVES'RflBLINGs-
coMMENT AND GOSSIPAMONG
THE WOMEN. RY ONE
OF THEM.
One of the best ways of training
children into kindly and thoughtful
habits is to bring them up with a love
of animals, and, wherever pOSSlble, let
them have one of their own, for whose
welfare they are responsible.
4 I must say, speaking from a wide ex-
perience, that I have very rarely met
with yOungsters naturally malicious to-
wards their dumb friends.
The nursery toddlers, from excess of
dove and superabundant energy, some-
times squeeze poor pussy rather hard-
ly, but the feline friend generally
knows that theSe attentions are not un-
findly meant, and receives them in a
philosophical spirit.
Hbre and there, however, one finds a
mischievous or thoughtless boy, who
pulls-tine wings from insects, and com-
mitaoth’er- acts of cruelty, which should
be most rigorously checked and cer-
tainly punished, for the child . who
learns to be reckless of the feelings of
animals will be equally indifferent to
those of the people around him.
Insmall town houses it is not always
pOSSible to give each young member of
the family a pet on his own account;
but even in very limited quarters at
- bird or a cat, or both are possible, and
the children should be expected to
18nd. and: feed. them.
Of Course; pussy requires the mini-
mum of attention; still, her saucer of
mil-kascraps of'fish, etc.. if given to
ihear'regnl‘a-rly by. the juvenile owner,
teach the lesson of regularity.
A little one over eight years old can
well look after a bird,-c1ean out its
cage, fill the vessels with seed and
water...s.ee to the bath, and so forth,
theseli‘ttle.~ duties making a pleasant
occupation. .
Should there be-any' chance of the
child forgelting its4respon-sibilities, it
is important that mater-families or some
“grown-up” should keep an observant
eye, that the pet may not languish
from inattention, but thoughtlessness
inathis. respect should be reprimanded.
ID l’arger houses, or residences" with
big gardens, the choice of animals is
more varied. Poultry alone, though
this should be under the management
of an adult, is a delightful source of
interest; then there are white mice,_
dormice, rabbits, guinea pigs, pigeons,
dogs and fancy birds among many
others to choose from.
Let the boy or girl who possesses a
pet have at least one volume which
will give all the necessary information
for the care of the animal.
Probably he will soon be desirous of
having more pets, and gathering round
him more literature on the subject,
and in this way he will receive a valu-
able education, going direct to things
rather than to books to obtain his
Beaming.
By the care of animals he will get a
- love of nature, his tenderness and pro-
tective qualities will be developed, his
interest aroused in the life and habits
of.dumb things, as well as becoming
trained in methodical, regular habits,
and looking after the animals Will
prove a source of pleasure and amuse-
ment to a child, when Otherwise the
time might hang heavily on his hands.

Feminine Chat.
A visit either to the dressmaker or
The dentist reduces a. woman to a state
membling that to which she would be
were a cyclone to strike her.
There is nothipg that so exasperates
the woman of truly helpful proclivities
aeto find herself physically unable to
moist when her energies are most
needed.
Women are much more careless in
the use of medicine than men. ' They
apparently seemgto think that if two
or'three drops-are good, a wholebottle
in! is better.
It is a wonder that shopkeepers can
giving customers for almost nothing
goods worth ten times as much as the
askingprice. ‘
A woman couldn’t understand why
her friend laughed when she explained
that she was just looking over the
paper to see if any one had been born
that she knew. '
DThere’s no doubt about its being
fashionable to show one’s colors. Every
dog in the smart traps seen these days
wears a bow of red, white and blue
ribbon.
J: One of the humorous sides of the
present war situation is presented
when a. woman endeavors by means
of a stick several feet too short to un-
fold the flag that has wound itself like
grim death about the pole.
‘ ‘
WHAT IS SAID.
We point with pride to the absolute-
ly unequalled record of-cures wrought
in Norwalk and vicinity.‘ Every ward
and every street in the N orwalks bears
witness to thevirtue and value of C. C.
.C., the great California Catarrh Cure,
in testimonials of remarkable cures.
C. A. Mullings, 35 Van Zandt ave-
nue, East Norwalk, says: . “Both my
son and myself have been bothered with
Catarrh, it troubling us very much
alike; the head being badly stuffed up,
whilethe matterdropping into thethroat
caused continual coughing. I procured
a bottle of California Catarrh Cure at
Plaisted’s drug store in South N orwalk
and we began using it. We didn’t have
to wait long to learn its value. It
relieved at once. My head and throat
are now much clearer than they have
been for some time. I will gladly
recommend the medicine to any one
who is suffering with catarrh. ”
Don’t sneeze and suffer with head
colds and hay fever. California Catarrh
Cure will break up one, and will surely
prevent the latter. All druggists, 50
cents; three times as much, one dollar.
