How to Speak to children.

It is usual to attempt the management
of children either by corporeal punish
ment, or by rewards addressed to the
senses, and by words alone. There is one
other means OF government, the power
and Importance Of which arc seldom re.
girded-I refer to the human voice, A
blow may be Inflicted on child, accom-
panied with words so uttered us to coun-
teract entirely its intended effect or the
parent may use language quite objection
able in itself, yet spoken in tone which
more than defeats its influence. What
is it that lulls the infant to repose II is
mn army OF mere words, There is no
charm TO the untaught one, in letters,
syllables and sentences. 1t is the sound
which strikes its little ear that sooths
and compOses it to sleep. A few notes,
however unskillfully arranged, il but
read in q soft tone, are found to possess n
magic influence. Think we that this in-
iluence, is confined to the cradle No;
it is diilused over age, and censes not
while the child remains under the paren-
tai roof. Is the boy growing rude in
manner, and boiBterous III speechH l
know no instrument so sure to control
these tendencies as the gentle tones Of
a mother She who speaks to her son
harshly does but give to his conduct
the sanction Of her own example. She
pours oil on the already raging flame.
In the presence OF duty we are liable to
utter ourselves harshly to children.
Perhaps threat is expressed in n loud
and irritating tone instead of allaying
the passions OF the child, itserves directly
to increase them. Every fretful express
sion awakens in him the SHINE spirit which
produced 1t, So does II pleasant voice
call up agreeable feelings. Whatever
disposition, therefore, we would encour-
age in child, the same we should man
ilest in the tone in which we address it.

BITTEN BY A RAr.--An infant child Of
Mr.. Thomas Clinton, living on the cor
ner of Seventh and Cambridge streets, in
Boston, was put to bed by its mother,
who sat down in the next room to do
some sewing. Shortly afterward she
was startled by the Shrieks OF her infant,
and going into the room saw huge rat,
with its iangs fastened in the nose Of the
child, its face and the bed.clothing be-
ing covered with blood Tho mother,
in her turn, shrieked, and her husband
came to her assistance, but the ferocious
animal was with difficulty driven from
the bed, II was pursued downstairs
and finally killed. DR.. Norris, who was
called to dress the wounds, says the teeth
Of tho rat came together through the
nose Of the child, and that its cheek was
bitten through several times, presenting
an appearance Of having been punctnred
repeatedly with an awl. Besides these
wounds there were others upon the right
oar,

WASHINGTON AS A FARMER. The farm
oil General Washington, at Mount Ver-
non, contained ten thousand acres OF
land in one body-equal to about fifteen
squire miles. II was divided into farms
OF convenient size, ut the distance OF
two, three, and FIVE miles from the Man
sion House. He visited these farms
every day, in pleasant weather, and was
constantly engaged in making expert
ments for the improvement Of agricul-
ture Some idea Of the extent OF his
farming operations may he formed from
the following facts In 1887 he had five
hundred aud eighty in grass snwed
six hundred bushels Of oats seven hum
dred acres with wheat-and us much
more in corn, barley, potatoes, beans,
peas, &C., and one hundred and fifty
with turnips. His stock consisted Of
one hundred and forty horses; one hun.
tlred and twelve cows two hundred mud
thirty-six working oxen, heiiers and
steers, and five hundred sheep. He con.
stautly employed two hundred and fifty
hands, and kept twenty-four ploaghs
going during the whole year, when the
earth and the state Of the weather would
permit. In 1850 he slaughtered one
hundred and fifty hogs for the use Of his
own family, and provisions for bis ne.
groes, for whose comfort he had great
regard.

DIscHARdNG DUTY.-A story Is told Of
the Grand Duke Alexis, who is in the M.

admiral ordered the life.boats to be low.

Four or five Of the crew perished in
the transit from the ship to shore, and
the admiral and Alexis were the last to
land. In hastily constructed tents the
rigid discipline Of ship.liie was promptly
resumed. The young prince was placed
under arrest for diSobedience Of orders.

A Romantic Story.


The Ahd California speaks of new
expedition which has just set ont from
San Francisco to seek and possibly to find
the treasures said to have been hidden
long ago by pirates in the caves of Cocos
Island in the South Pacific, Two organ
lied attempts to do the same thing have
already been made-one in 1867 mud the
other IN ls7O-but both of them failed /;
the first because tho stress Of weather
prevented the arrival of the vessel at the
island, and the second for the very good
reason that the explorers did not know
where the treasures were hidden, and con.
sequently could only work Mt random.
The expedition which has just set out Is
under the command of Captain Thomas
Welsh, who has agreed to claim nothing
If the amount of treasure he shall find
shall not exceed $50, 900 in value, but
II 1t shall exceed that amount he is to
have all the excess, This captain having
been interviewed by reporter, has re.
vealed some strange stories of his earlier
life, which, should they be true, show him
TO be n fit commander. The tale in brief
language is the following: Long years
ago there dwelt lovely maiden in Kent,
England, who was wooed by nObeman,
but married commoner-the father OF
Captain Welsh. The nobleman raved,
and became so exceedingly misanthrOpic
that ho determined to turn pirate and
scour the Spanish Main in a rakish.looking

content in becoming the counterpart of

he thought he would revisit Kent and see
what had become of his old love. Thither
he went and found that she had given
birth to a son, had died and left this boy

How A OUNCE BECAME A STATESMAN.
The following story is told Of the late
DR.. Salem To@ne and VIM. L. Marcy :
In his youth he Or, Towne) was teach
er Of youth. One day, seventy odd years
ago, boy WIS brought to him, OF whom
the account given was that he was an
incorrigible Ounce. that none OF his mas
ters had been able to make anything Of
him and he was brought to Mr.. Towne
as last experiment, before apprentcing
him to mechanical trade. The next
morning Mr.. Townc proceeded to exam
Inc him, preparatory to entering upon
his instruction. At the first mistake he
lodged on ono side, with every sign Of
terror. "Why do you do That ?" asked
the master. "Because was afraid you
were going to strike me-" "Why should
you think so ?" "Because I have always
been struck whenever / made mistake. P"
You need never fear being struck by
me" snid Mr.. Towno. "That is NOT my
way of treating boys who do as well rs
they can" The lad very soon improved
rapidly under this new treatment, so that
Towne advised his father to give him n
liberal education. The father could hard
ly believe the report at first but was con-
vinced, and complied with the good mas
ter's suggestion. The result was that
William l.. Marcy became an eminent
lawyer, one Of the supreme judges Of New
York State, governor, United States sen
ator, and Secretary Of War and OF State.

scaoo1 TKAcH1So.-Au item is going
the rounds Of the exchanges, stating
that woman school teacher in Utica,
Wisconsin, allows the pupils Ave minutes
to go out and sec the railway train when
il passes. This is sensible teacher. In
old times the windows OF school houses
wero built SO high us to prevent the little
prisoners from looking out, and nm cle-
phant might pass by and the little
urchins be compelled to keep their eyes
on their books, lest they might, through
the open door, catch glimpse Of the
animal. No wonder boys and girls came
to hate school hours, and to look upon
them MS the darkest Of the twenty.four.

fSrLUESoE or HEAT on THE HUMAN
BoDY.-Dr Craig, OF the Medical Ser.
vice OF the United States army, prose-
cuted some experiments during the hot
summer Of 1870, rs published in the
american Journal Of Science, in reference
to the influence OF external physical
conditions upon the temperature Of the
human body. The highest bodily tenn
perature observed by him during That
limo was 20. 70 F. He states that below
800 he did not ieel uncomiortably hot ;
but when 80. 90 was reached, then the
sensation OF suffering from heat come on.
BY the prolonged use Of the shower.bnth
ho was able to reduce his temperature
to 07. 70 in the hottest weather, which
constituted very great ameliUration OF
his sensations. He concluded That the
discomfort we feel in hot weather is not
from the heat on The surface, but from
tho secondary effect OF heating the whole
body. Should the internal heat Of the
body be raised above 1909, he thinks
that ntapoplexy and sun.stroko would be
quite likely to supcrvcne. Judging from
some experiment, recorded elsewhere,
DR.. Craig thinks Tint reduction OF the
temperature rs low us $50 F., by eXter-
nal applications Of cold, is as great MS it
