The Baltimore Gazette, agreeing with
Judge Gilmor, does not favor the estab-
lishment of the whipping post in Mary
land, except for one grade of crime. 1t
says There is only one class of crimi-
mails that especially merit the lash-wife-
heaters. Poetic justice as well as sound
public policy demands that "a man who
lays his hand upon a woman save in the
way Of kindness" should get the lash laid
on.by sure and strong hand"

carving was prepared with special ref
erence to secure the greatest amount of
instruction with the least expenditure
for tools and material. 1t was not de-
signed to make finished workmen in
wood carving, but to take advantage of
the natural inclination toward handi-
craft, the Yankee taste for whiting
which belongs to most boys, and to
develop it and guide it to useful appli-
cations.
The experience of the founders leads
them to the belief " that it would be
easy to establish, in connection with all
our grammar schools for boys, an
annex for elementary instruction in the
use of the half dozen universal tools i. e.,
the hammer, plane, saw, chisel, file,
and square. Three or four hours a week
for one year only of the grammar school
course would be enough to give the
boys that intimacy with tools and that
encouragement to the Unborn inclina-
ton to handicraft, and that guidance in
its use, for want of which so many
young men now drift into overcrowded
and uncongenial occupations, or lapse
into idleness and vice.
Northern and Central Europe have
been doing this or similar work for
years; and such teaching has done very
much to hasten the industrial develop
ment of the countries that have tried it.

The Boston Whiting Schools.

Formerly all American schools were
whiting schools; but the art was prac-
ticed surreptitiously, the soft pine desks
and benches furnishing the only
whiting material. With the advent of
highly finished hard wood school furni-
ture, all jacknife practice in school was
vigorously suppressed; and for a gen
Grafton or so the art has fallen into de-
cadence. 1t has revived, however, I'M
der improved conditions, the natural
spirit of constructiveness- -usually
called Observation-Disclosures to boy
hood, being made the basis of system
attic training of the most enjoyable and
useful sort.
The pioneer institution is the Boston
Whiting School, private enterprise
housed by the city. The school-room
has been fitted up with work benches,
divided into four foot sections, and each
boy is furnished with such tools as he
may need. Thirty-two were admitted
the first year, their ages ranging from
twelve to sixteen. The school report
says that perhaps twelve of them had
received some instruction in the use of
the jig saw and knife, but none had had
any previous training in wood carving
or the use of the chisel. There were
more applicants for admission to the
school than could be received. If any
boy was absent two successive evenings,
his place was taken by another. A
rank list was kept and pasted on the
wall, and each boy knew how his work
was estimated by consulting the list. A
course of twenty-four lessons in wood

He Took Care Of the Horses.

Mr. Thomas Beal owns a good peach
orchard near Prospect Hill. One night,
while peaches were at their best, Mr.
Beal wandered near his orchard and
saw a team hitched. Prospecting a
little, he discovered two men busy at
work among his peaches, and evidently
calculating to load their wagon with
them. Mr. Beal is a merciful man, and
he disliked to see the team hitched out
doors. He is a thoughtful man, so he
concluded that the visitors would not
care to be disturbed, and he said moth
ing to them, but quietly put the team
in his barn, and Hospitality waited
their coming. They came at last, but
seemed to manifest no pleasure at see
ing him, and if there was any warmth
in the greeting, it was all on his side.
But they wanted their team, and he
wanted them to have it, but he gently
insinuated that his barn rent and feed,
and the time spent in waiting for them,
was worth about forty dollars. They
thought it high but didn't dicker long
They paid the bill, and when next they
propose to arrange for a distribution
OF peaches, they wont try to divide up
with Mr.. Beal. -Adrdin Times.

Sham Jewelry and Dresses.

1t is astonishing how many rich peo-
pie condescend to wear limitations of
costly things; and this piece of bad
taste is not by any means confined to
n0uUeduT riches, who might be expected
to know no better. Cotton velvet with
a silk face does duty for the rich Lyons
velvet which once alone was worn by
gentlewomen; imitation lace, mock
iewelry and sham furs are worn I'M
blushingly. If, as is often stated, ladies
dress not to please the opposite sex,
but to excite the envy of their own, the
wearing of shams must fail in its effect.
Another woman may be very covetous
of her rivals diamonds, sables and old
point, but she could only feel contemp-
tuous toward the paste, the dyed rab-
bit skins and machine-made lace that
do duty for the good old treasures.
Gentlemen, too, are not readily taken
in by limitations: the sportsman recog-
nizes the mock fur or feather, and most
men in society understand good lace
and the difference between paste and
diamonds. There is no greater snob-
berry than that shown in the pretension
of modern dress; and no falseness more
easily seen through than that of sham
finery. A true gentlewoman will only
wear what is genuine and good of its
kind, no matter how modest and I'M
pretending that kind may be.-LondoR

Wanted Sympathy.

A policeman was passing down Rich
mond street last Wednesday afternoon
when he heard a womans voice lifted
high in lamentation; opening the wick
ct he strobe up to the door, where a
woman was lying prone on the steps,
believing the rubber foot mat with her
briny tears.
"What is the matter, mam?" he said
gently.
"Ooh, boo, oo-h!" said the stricken
female.
"Now, don't take on So" said the
club. carrier with tremulous gentleness,

A Novel Feat in Dentistry.

SCALP-GRAFTING has become quite
common performance, but it will be
news to many that teeth may be SINH
larly transplanted and made to grow
in other mouths than the original own
er. DR.. Thomas, of Detroit, details in
the Dental Cosmos a case in which he
successfully performed this operation;
inserting in the mouth of gentleman,
who had lost right superior cuspidate,
solid and healthy tooth that he had
removed from lady's mouth four
weeks previously. He opened into the
canal and pulp chamber of the tooth,
from the apex of the root only; cut the
end off one-eighth of an inch Git being
that much too long), reduced the size
somewhatin the center of the root Git be-
ing a trifle larger than the root extract
ed), filled and placed it in position. He
states that the occlusion, shape and
color were perfect, so much so that
several dentists who saw the case were
not able to distinguish the transplanted
tooth from the others. The two feat
ures in the case that he calls particular
attention to are: first, that although
the tooth had been in his office four
weeks, there is to-day no perceptible
change in color; and, second, that the
re-attachment is as perfect as though it
had been transplanted or replanted the
same day of extraction. DR.. Thomas
knows of but two obstacles in the way
of the perfect practibility of "trans-
planting;" first, the difficulty of OBJ
tanning the proper teeth at the proper
time; and, second, the possibility of
innoculation. The latter is the more
formidable of the two, and, to escape
the ills that might follow, the greatest
caution is necessary. The first difficult
ty is more easily gotten over, for it is
not necessary that the tooth transplant
ed should correspond exactly in shape
and size to the one extracted; if it is
too large, it may be carefully reduced
or, if too small, new osseous deposit
will supply the deficiency. Neither is
it necessary as we have seen, that the
transplanted tooth should be freshly
extracted one.
