TIM question Of corporal punish
ment in the public schools has arisen
anew in Boston The superintendent
says Teachers of both sexes use per
sonal violence with their pupils in such
forms and such frequency that the facts
if published would cause unpleasant
ness. Some put children into painful
and even dangerous positions; some
shake them mt times with such rough
ness as to tear their clothing, while
many still apply the rattan as freely rs
if it were a feather, and strike not
merely the hand, but the head and
body. Within the last month OF two
suInt, prsvvus cases have been reported
to me by parents whose children had
suffered. The monthly reports of some
grammar schools come i'll ringing with
the echoes of blows" A committee
examined into the subject, and ma
iority reported in favor of dismissing
teachers who inflicted whipping, ex-
cept on boys in the grammar depart
ments.

Near ChattahoOchee, Fla, there lives
an old negro known to the boatmen as
Keiser. He is farmer and makes a
good living, but has not slept in house
in number of years. In passing az
any hour of night parties on the boat
can see his torchlight in the woods.
For some time the negroes in the neigh
borhood stole his cotton, cane, water
melons, etc, and he devised a plan to
catch them. During the months when
the fruit was ripe and in the cot
ton-picking season he sleeps in hogs
head in the centre of the field. He Is
a strange creature in this respect, but
succeeds in making very good living
The boys often keep him on the boat
by talking to him, until she is well out
in the stream, and then see him jump
overheard and swim for land.

Labor Saving

The demand of the people for an easy
method of preparing Kidney-Wort has
induced the proprietors, the well-known
wholesale druggists, Wells, Richardson
& Co, of Burlington, VT, TO prepare it
for sale in liquid form as well as in dry
form. 1t saves all the labor of prepar-
ing, and as it is equally efficient it is
preferred by many persons. Kidney
Wort always and everywhere proves
itself perfect remedy.-Bufaso Nears.
