DISCIPLINARY Sticking-Plaster.

The punishment inflicted on children
attending board schools are sometimes
brutal and always stupid; but, to Judge
from the case of a young woman who
is assistant teacher at the Farncombe-
street school, Bermondsey, and who
was summoned to Southwark Police
court on Saturday for assaulting little
girl of 5 years, infantile torture as now
carried out in board schools is assuming
the aspect of the eccentric and the fan
tastic The little girl-child of 5 would
not, it seems, cease talking" where
upon, to curb her loquacity, the assist
ant teacher placed piece of sticking
plaster across the small prattler's lips.
The child went home crying; and, &C
cording to her father, her lips were
blistered, and she was very sick all
night. When the indignant parent com
planned to the school authorities ofthe
outrage committed on his child, the odd
step was taken by the school managers
of requesting him to appear before the
committee He preferred to seek a
more summary remedy at the nearest
police court. All that could be pleaded
in defense that the child had not been
hurt in strapping up of her mouth, that
the assistant teacher had been repri-
manded, and that she was considered to
be usually kind and attentive person.
Under these circumstances, the magis-
trate only ordered her to enter into her
own recognizances to keep the peace for
twelve months and to pay a few shillings
costs. 1t is to be hoped that the case
will serve as a warning to punishers of
the eccentric and fantastic kind. If
strapping up the mouth with diachylon
passed unrebuled, we might next hear
Of the use of pitch plaster, or Of down
right gaging, or of a revival of the old
Scottish 'branks."

There are already q society and an
associate society for the protection of
women and children, but the action of
these associations-al excellent as no
doubt they are-would appear to be
chiefly confined 10 taking up cases of
aggravated assaults committed by hus-
bands of the lower class upon their
wives. Instances Of cruelty to children
also come occasionally under the so
cieties' cognizance, but many more of
the most fragrant nature seems altogcth-
or to have escaped their notice. For
example, we fail to perceive any trace

Sioux City Journal.


News, believed to be reliable, was re-
ceiyed in the city yesterday confirming
the previous report that the Mil
waukee company is grading a line in
the upper Jim river valley from the
mouth of the Mapel river for a distance
of fifty miles south. The Northwestern
folks are also grading line down the
valley, the two roads being within q
mile of each other in places. 1t IS
near the mouth of the Maple that tho
Hastings branch Of the Milwaukee Is
expected to cross the jim. This fifty
miles of grade, with the proposed eX-
tension from Yankton up to the Jim
river valley to Scotland, gives color TO
the theory advanced by the Journal
some time ago that the Milwaukee is
planning line all the way from Gank-
ton up the Jim river to the Northern
Pacific. When the Scotland extention
is built there win be pretty direct line
from Yankton to Mitchell via Marion
Junction. From Mitchell it IS but forty
miles up the valley north to the grad

Pacific crosses the Jim, Is a wide and

settlers. but at present without rail
road If this part of the valley Is not
occupied by the Milwaukee, it will be
by the Northwestern.

The propeller Rocket, which will

no trouble about floating, as the density
of the water is remarkable, being just
the reverse of that of Lake Tahoe, in
which the body of drowned person
never returns to the surface. An ex-
change says that for bitterness and
promiscuous meanness the waters of
Mono Lake surpass those of the Dead
Sea. They contain so much alkali that
on windy day the lake Is Il regular

n wall of lather five feet high along the
waves were beating. Occasionally the
lather as big as bushel basket and
carry it several hundred feet inland.
So buoyant are the waters of the lake
that quite party of men may navigate
them ON raft made of four or five
dry cottonwood poles. Out i'll the lake
are islands of rock (lava-like concre-
tions) through which streams of water
boil up. The water of these springs is
like that of the lake, but in one place is
n large spring of fresh water. This is
near the northwest corner of the lake,
and point where there is depth of
eight or ten feet of water 1t is II sort
of fountain. A column of fresh water,
some three feet in diameter is project
ed upward with such force that it rises
to height of at least two feet above
the general level of the lake i'll the
form of mound or knoll, and makes
a ripping noise that can be heard a
considerable distance. But for the fact
that this fountain has depth of eight
or ten feet of water to contend against,
it would probably rise toa considerable
height in the air.
