Whipping Children.

It is significant sign Of the improve
ment of our race, that the general feeling
to-day is against fogging as means of
reformation or punishment. 1t has been
abandoned, in great measure, all over
the world in the armies, and it no longer
forms part of the discipline of our
prisons. In the schools it is fast going
out of favor, in fact, has almost dlsap-
peared.
And as regards parents and their chill
dren, fogging is fast becoming obsolete.
In spite of all attempts to palliate paren-
tai brutality, the factremains that ii is bet
ter to rule by love than fear and that the
person who cannot succeed through love
is not fit to rule. There IS no sentiment
alism in this conclusion, for the accuracy
of the principle has been proved count
less times by experience, with beings
of far lower grade than children ever are
and Of meaner quality of affection.
One phase of love explains the regard
of the masses for a political leader, q
feeling somewhat similar attaches SOL
der to his favorite general, and the same
sentiment, though Of far coarser quality,
makes a Throat the faithful slave OF
pirate chief.
To say that the child, which is the
only animal except the dog that will kiss
the hand which strikes it, cannot be con-
trolled through the feeling that keeps
turbulent men in order is worse than
untrue-it is idiotic. The parent who
confesses to inability to control child
without recourse to force merely admits
lack of affection enough to enable
patience to have its perfect work, for
some one often person of no particular
intelligence or characters sure not
only to find the childs heart, but to find
it healthy and of full size.

The Danger Signal.

As the express train to San Jose was
slamming along past San Mateo, with
both valves wide open, the figure of q
man was seen waving red shirt about
half mile up the track, The engine
was reversed, brakes were whistled
down, and with tremendous effort the
train was stopped just as it reached the
man.
What's. the matter?" shouted the
conductor, running forward.
Is this the lightning express to San
Jose ?" asked the stranger, earnestly.
Yes. yes; of course it is" said the
ticket puncher, while the passengers
crowded up with white faces.
"That's right" said the man, pocket
ing his flannel and bracing up for grand
break. Always tell the truth, and
people will aspect you"
And bel even the engineer could
seize hunk of coal he had hundred
yards start to winward with . fresh
breeze on his weather beam. --San Fran
cisco Poet.

A CALIFORNIA writer says that the
redwood which is in demand there for
underground use is what is known by
the lumbermen as black heart redwood.
1t shows dark color when cut with a
knife, the outer layer only becoming
seasoned This species of redwood is ex-
ceedingly heavy-too heavy to float.
One who has observed misunderstanding
at chutes along the coast assures the
writer that post of this wood which
plnnges overheard never rises, and a
board fingers on the surface moment
and then slowly slides down into it's
depths. This is the sort which is sought
for in the foundation of buildings. and
under brick walls is believed to be i'm
perishable. In this connection it is in
terestiug to mention a fact concerning
the second growth Of redwood. Shoots
from old stumps have grown to three
and four feet in diameter in forty years.
This would indicate restorative powers
in redwood forests which would insure .
future supply Of the timber.

Originality In style.

Charles Lamb speaks somewhere Of
friend Of his who protested that there
was too much reading done and that
many people were too busy considering
the thoughts of others to think for them.
selves. He even went so far, Lamb
says, rs to quit reading altogether,
much to the improvement of his Or
iginality." / have often thought of
this that is to say the blighting of ones
power Of original thoug Int by much read
ing. The omnivcrous reader mistakenly
believes that he is only acquiring .
store of fact and theories. He does not
remember that his mind is sure to be
tinted by every particular thing which
he reads, and that Ivy and by the natural
hue Of it will be quite etfaced. / have
often noticed with amusement and morti-
fication that everything read had an
immediate effect on manner Of express
sion both in writing and talking. 1t has
been very humiliatng to me to see how
little individuality / possess. l humbly
own that am mentally like the chame-
leon. or whatever animal it is that takes
straightway the color Of whatever il
eats. ] remember in the English itern-
ture class at school, have seen myself
skip lightly from Addison to Macauley,
from Macauley to Dickens, only to for
get him and find myself on Monday tied
down TO the limited verbiage and POM
pous sentences Of the preacher to whom
/ had listened the day before don't
mean, Of course, that my style could
ever in the remotest degree, approach in
excellence toward any Of the writer's
whom l read. only mean that every
mannerism that l could catch and wrap
around my own thoughts, instantly
made my own. But once did actually
come near reproduction. Then had to
write criticism of PepJ's Diary, and
discovered only when my paper was
finished and copied, that II was written
in very fair imitation OF the worthy
Samuel's style.
the path Of the writer would be smooth,
indeed. He would only have to sit at
home and diligently read his Shakes
peare, to become master Of literary
composition. But unfortunately it
doesn't. You have heard The stage mimic
at cheap shows initiate the pig; and
then ga pig under gate" 1t has al
ways seemed to me that my Addison,
for instance was an Addison under
gate"
After all, am not sure that an orig
inal style in writing is 70 be desired. l
am quite sure it should not be striven
for. How, indeed, can man be sure
that he has got his own natural style
How does he know that he is not cramp-
ing his own powers by affectation? Peo-
pie who try to walk differently from
everybody. else generally are lived out
sooner. A gnarled, warped, crank-sided
manner of expression may be perhaps
forgiven il it brings a fine thought on
its shoulders, but it is mono the less re-
pulsive.
Perhaps am prejudiced, but l can
not get over feeling that writer who
has thoughts worth expressing does an
undignified thing when he brings them
out in eccentric garb. And the more
elevated that the subject which he treats
may be, the more should he strive for
clearness and simplicity Clarissa, IN

The Gaze-at-the-Girls Young Man.

Among the curiosities OF every large
city, is the gaze at. the girls young man.
That he finds his pursuit agreeable is
evident from the way in which he sticks
to his business and the rapidity with
which he multiples There is no trou-
BILE in identifying him. He is his own
Identification From shortly before noon
until dusk the gaze-at-the-girls young
man may be seen on the leading thor
oughfares. Every pretty face that comes
nlong claims his attention and he Mt once
proceeds to investigate its charms He
does not do this quietly and unobtru-
rively not he. The gaze-at-the-g girls
young mans chief stock in trade is the
power of gazing long and impudently.
Then the gaze does not go alone. With
every gaze goes smile, peculiar
smile, sort of cross betwetn the lop-
sided sm:rh of Guiteau ard the @s-
thetic shipper of Bunthorne. This
combination IL bestowed lavishly. The
modest blush is brought to the cheek of
virtue by the insolent glare OF the Young
man. He btu hes against the girls and
fairly forces his gazs into their faces.
The gazc-at tie girls young man will
stoop aud look md hat ia crler to
discover what kind of face il hidden
beneath it. He has no hesitation in
doing all sorts Of uncivil things in order
to satisfy his girl gazing. and that is
why he is noted Tor impotence, impo-
likeness and stupidity;

Raby Elephant.

Barnum is overjoyed with his ac-
questionable baby elephant-and
declares 100000 could not buy it.
He offers $4,000 for an insurance of
the life Of the infant for 50 weeks.
Surely, if he knew the full value Of
Pe,urd and Manalin, he would do no
such foolish thing, as they are the
most successful protective medicines
that have ever been introduced to the
human family. No one can take any
disease while taking Peruna before
each meal, and keeping the bowels
regular with Manalin. Ask your

IT IS said that those who wish to do
any painting on or about their mills, will
find the following an excellent and cheap
recipe, which viii last much longer than
any ordinary whitewash: Three hun
dred parts washed and sieved white sand,
forty parts Of precipitated chalk, fifty
parts of resin and four parts Of linseed
oil are mixed and boiled in an iron ket-
tie, and then one part Of oxide of copper
and one part Of sulphuric acid are adj
ded. This mass is applied with an ordi-
nary paint brush while warm. If it is
too thick it is diluted with linseed oil.
This paint dries very rapidly and gets
very hard, but protects the wood excel
lently.

A Fragment Of Life.

When one breaks camp in the morning
he turns back again and again TO see
what he has left Surely he feels that
he has forgotten something. What il 1t
1t is only his own thoughts and musings
he has left, the fragment Of his life he
has lived there. Where he hung his coat
on tree, where he slept on the boughs,
where he made his coffee or broiled his
trout over the Goals, where he drank at
the little brown pool in the spring run,
whore he looked long and long into tho
whispering branches overhead he has
the fame and the ashes Of himself.
