acutely from sciatica. She has consulted
physicians far and near, but has been
Unsuccessful in finding any cure. Not

not far away was afflicted with the same
disease in an aggravated form, and it
occurred to her that she would call upon
him and ask him whether he had ever
found anything that would avail to
lessen its terrors. She did so, and hav-
ing introduced herself, stated her errand.

Don't Whip.

A parent who doesn't know how to
govern a child without whipping It,
ought to surrender the care of that child
to some wiser person. Sportsmen once
thought it was necessary to lash their
dogs in training them for the field. They
know now that the whip should never
be used. Horsemen once thought it
was necessary to whip colts to teach
them to start and stop at the word and
pull steady. They know that an apple
is better than the lash, and caress bet
ter than blow. If dogs and horses can
be thus educated without punishment.
what is there in our children which
makes It necessary to slap and pound
them? Have they less intelligence ;have
they cold hearts; are they lower In the
scale of intelligence2 We have heard
many old people say, "If we were to
bring up another child, we would never
whip Il" They are wise, but little too
lste. Instead of God doing so little for
children that they must be whipped into
goodness, be has done so much for them
that even whipping cannot ruin them
that Is, as rule. Many children are of
such q quality that blow makes them
coWardly, or reckless, or deceitful. or
permanently ugly. Whipping makes
children lie. Whipping makes them
steal. Whipping breaks their spirit.
Whipping makes them hate their pa
rents. Whipping makes home distaste-
Ini-makes the boys runaWays, makes
the girls seek happiness anywhere and
anyhow. Whipping is barbarous. Don't

TeIerranhs in OIden Times.

The electric telegraph is-a device OF
the present generation, but the idea OF
conveying intelligence to a distance by
a system of signals is a very ancient one.
Homer refers to the use of fires by night
and smoke by day for this purpose, and
in the Bible we find an allusion to set
ting up "sign Of fire" as warning Of
war. .....-.-..-.- .sr.
An old Greek play begins with scene
in which a Watchman descends from a
tower in Greece, and announces that
Troy is taken. Il have been looking
out for years" he says, Hand now it is
done.H Whether the fall Of Troy was
actually telegraphed in this way to
Greece may be questioned, but there
can be no doubt that the method had
long been familiar, and been employed
for sending news to great distances.
In China it was known from remote
period. perhaps even before the time Of
Homer; and the most barbarous nations,
at a very early date, seem to have had
their signal fires for giving the alarm OF
war from hill to hill, as the Scottish
Highlanders did until a comparative re-
cent day.
More improved methods Of telegraphy,
in which letters of the alphabet were
displayed on boards fixed to high posts,
were devised as early as the time of Ar
istotle, or nearly 500 years before the
Christian era.
