WHIPPING AND THE WHooPING-
CoUGH.-A new use of the rod, one
which Solomon never dreamed of, is
said to be common in Austria. Some
fashioned people complain that the
rod has fallen into neglect, and that
the reins of authority have passed from
the parents to the children. For such
grumblers Austria is good place to
immigrato to. for whipping is the regime
even for whooping-cough.
Physicians pronounced this uncom-
Portable disease to be chiefly of ner-
vous origin, and under the control of
the will. They maintain, therefore,
that punishment is the best medicine,
for good whipping rouses the child
to vigorous exercise OF will, which
suppresses the cough.
1t is certainly curious theory, but
held with tenacity by the Austrian ply
sicians. They may be popular among
children in their own country, but
they would he in danger of falling vic
Tins to mob law here. Children claim
pity and petting when passing through
this disease, and the thought of whip
ping instead would lead to revolst in
the nursery. The Austrian remedy
may be scientific, but it is not likely to
gain favor on this side Of the water.

BLACK JIMMY's ARITHMETIC. - A
Southern lady, wife of famous Missis-
sippian, recently made confession of
her inferiority to negro,-only in
arithmetic. However, correspondent
of the Boston Herald interviewed
her, and reports as follows:
She approves the education of the
colored people, and is hopeful concern
ing their future. She laughingly said
that she has nothing of the mathemati-
cal faculty, and not long ago, desiring
to pay negro for some wood in her
husbands absence, she attempted to
find the value, with pen and paper, of
a fractional part of il.
She covered near a sheet of paper
with figures, but was not satisfied with
the result At last the negro teamster,
with great humility, Remarked
"Missus. your figures are not cor
rect. Let me do dat sum for you
but do you know how to cipher,
Jimmy?"
Yes, missus, 1 does" said Jimmy.
She gave him the pen and paper, and
Jimmy figured it out in an instant, and
at once received his money.
"But where did You learn to cipher"
said Mrs. Davis to him.
"Oh, missus," said Jimmy, Ise a
graduate of the high SCHOOL,
