Whipping Children.

Said DR.. Felix Alder in recent dis
course: There is a decided feeling
now in many places against corporal
punishment. Perhaps the stern moral
ist will say we are sentimentallsts; that
the surgeon at times finds it necessary
to use the knife for the purpose Of erad-
icating some chronic disease. Chastise>
ment brutalizes n child, in the first
place; second, il makes him cowardly,
and third, IL blunts his sense Of shame,
which is the characteristic that forms
the bulwark around virtue. A beast OF
burden may be beaten, but to beat hu-
man being is 10 place him on a level
with the beast by appealing TO his an
imal nature. How disgusting it Is to
see child groyeIing like hound and
praying FOR immunity from the parents
rod? Courage is one of the manifest
virtues, and as whipping breaks the
spirit of the child, il should be abolished.
Flogging is an invasion Of the body, An
assault upon personal liberty. Some
children resist punishment, but after
while their obstinacy turns 70 indiffer.
enee, and they are then In that con-
dition popularity known as hardened.
And iu what is all bodily punishment
to end: 1t simply represses the out
ward signs OF disease, driving them In
wards to eat into the vitals. There u
but one exception that proves the rule.
In small children, where reason has not
developed, il might be well to conquer
their stubborn little wills in cases Of
emergency by slight corporal punish'
lnent-a mild coercion to show then
there is a will they must obey"

Boy-Pa, do the words low and vulgar
mean the same thing? Pa-Not always.
Low is often used as the opposite of
high. For instance, my son, there Is

Mr.. Horr was the peer of any man

he asked the audience to return him.
If you will give us such man there

be made of the poorest protected

Tree-CIimbing Cray-Fish.

To show how flood or over
supply of water will at certain times
alarm these little creatures, n gentle
man residing in Freeport, Illinois, in
formed me that not many months ago
they had some very heavy rains, that
greatly increased the volume of the lit
tie river running through the town. The
water gradually rose until numbers of
quite large trees were submerged, AID
the stream was almost twice its ordinary
width. Such an unusual occurrence
naturally attracted considerable atten-
ton, and my informant and q number
of others visited the trees several times,
and when the river was at the highest
they presented strange appearance
from little distance. Their trunks
seemed to have changed color from the
water up to the branches, and on closer
inspection it was found that they were
completely incased with cray-fsh which
covered every available space, crowd
ing upward by hundreds, clinging to
the bark and 10 each other, in some
spots packed one upon another four
and five deep; every moment added to
the throng, new ones emerging from the
WullC tuOoC uDOtC, tuGcV Oi4,
crept out upon the branches, and com.
pletely covered them, presenting novel
and interesting sight. The animals i'll
many cases retained their positions for
several days, and did not seem to be af.
fected by their stay out of water. The
occasion, however, was taken advantage
of by the people, who came with buck
cts and brooms and swept them from
the trees by hundreds, storing them UP
for future use. The cray-fish in certain
portions of the Western country is a
pest to the agriculturist, and the work
of these little creatures often greatly in-
creases the labor and expense of break
ing up land, especially after the bur
rows or mounds have stood for many
years, the vegetation that has grown
upon them often increasing their size
to mammoth proportions.-C Il. HoL-
der, in Popular Science Monthly.

Yaple's Vote Against Grant.

There were two bills passed by the
Forty Eighth Congress for the pur-
pose of authorizing the President to
nominate General Grant for a place
on the retired list of the army with
the rank and pay Of General. One
of these passed the House March 3,
1855, and the other February I6,
1885. Under those dates in the
Congressional Record will be found
the vote of Geo. L. Yaple, the fusion
candidate for Governor against this
simple act Of justice to the soldier
President from the nation whose very
existence he had done so much to
save. No man who had a spark of
patriotism could so treat the dying
hero, the great field Marshal Of the
Union armies. No man who had the
least conception of the great debt this
nation owes, not only to the humblest
OF those who faced the storms of bat
tie during the dark days of the great
civil conflict, but to their honored
leaders also, could be guilty Of such
an act. What excuse can he make
for his course in face of the fact that
he had already voted 10 place en- the
retired list Fitz John Porter, man
who was dismissed from the army in
disgrace for his betrayal of bis su-
perior officer at the second Bull Run.

A Remarkable Enterprise.

Very few people know of n remark
able enterprise that is being undertaken
in New Jersey in the shape of n female
revision of the bible, says the New York
World. The work is being carried on
in this manner: In q richly furnished
drawing-room about broad table sit
half a dozen women with intelligent
faces and busy pens. Each one has u
cheap copy of the bible which she reads
carefully and occasionally clips out
verse and pastes it at the top of long
sheet of white paper. The others then
cut out the same verse from their bibles
and dispose of it in the same manner.
With this before them they began to
discuss it in turn. One of these COM
mentators is an excellent Greek and He
brew scholar. Another is profoundly
learned in current bible criticism, while
still another has gone through with care
and has at her fingers ends, all the
great commentaries of Henry, Scott.
DR.. Adam Clark, and others. After
each verse has been thoroughly dis
cussed, each woman writes under it
what she has to say, and the sheets are
then passed in TO q secretary. This
secretary is recent graduate from Vas
sar. She cuts out this much talked of
verso from still another bible, puts it
at the top of a larger sheet of paper,
and then appends under it the notes of
all the learned lady commentators.
When asked what was the object of
this revision, one of the ladies, who in
spires and carries on this tremendous
labor, explained that they were doing
what might be called feminine re-
vision of the scriptures. 1--WE find.
she said, "in going over the Old and
New Testaments, that about one-tenth
of the bible touches, in one way or an
other, upon women. We wish to know
whether the male readings, transla-
tons, and interpretations have been
strictly fair to us. and in spirit friend
ly to our sex. We and great many
other women have our doubts on tho.
subject, and so we proposed issuing
what may be called The Woman's
Bible On our revising committee sit
able women from England and Ameri-
CO."
A well-known publisher has agreed to
issue the revision when 1t is completed,
and by next summer the "Womau's
Bible" will be given to the public.
