SPORTS OF THE SEASON.

The Washingtons yesterday played one Of
the worst games of the season, and as the
Pittsburg team batted O'Day's balls, they ex-
perienced no trouble whatever in winning the
game. The fielding of both teams was far
from being good. Costly battery errors and
good and timely hitting gave the visitors a
lead In the opening inning which Washington
could not overcome. The game was called
at the end of the seventh inning on account of
darkness. Score: Washington g. Pittsburg

A Doctor Concerning School Girls.

The poor health of school girls,
writes a doctor in the New England
Medical Gazette, may Oftener be traced
10 general unhygienic conditions of life
shan to the pressure of Overstudy.
Some statistics he has gathered con-
vince him that girls commonly indulge
in too much social dissipation-night
Entertainments, late suppers, and the
like for their good. Careful study of
these statistics, he concludes, can hard
ay fail to suggest to the physician the
Zines in which it would be well to put
consultation questions to the guardians
of an invalid girl. Difficult problems
i'm arithmetic would naturally appeal
to the partial mother as more digni-
fled cause of break down, than mid
might suppers, "'figure"- making cor
sets, or those fruitful breeders of hy-
|steria, sentimental and interpretive
novels; but while the latter factors
are operative, we can afford, Temporal
rily at least, to ignore the former. In
deed, we are tempted at times to VEN
ture the shOckingly heterOdox opinion,
that given cold baths, loose gowns, a
daily two miles walk, 8 O'clock bed
time, a recreation diet of Kingsley,
stevenson, Miss AlcOtt and Mrs. Ew-
ing, and three tablespoonful of cod
liver oil daily, and the average "grOw-
ing girl" will be equal to even a some
what tough course in geometry without
|impaiIing her present health, or i'm
periling her future hopes of success
fully performing all the duties of her
sphere.

The man is still living who, IL years
ago, walked into the rooms of the Bible
society in Boston and electrified the
persons whom he found there, first by
bis appearance and secondly by the
Communication which he had to make.
Ills appearance betOkened more than
poverty, for his shabby clothes were
lied together with strings. What in
Ahe world had brought such a man
khere was the question every one ask
ed himself, and the wonder can be
better imagined than described when
the stranger remarked that he had
property to the amount of $75, 900,
which he would like to turn over to
the society if he could be guaranteed
20 per cent. annually upon it for the
remainder of his life, his age then being
79. The officers suppressed their
amazement as we'll as they could, took
bis name, verified his schedule of his
Possessions, and submitted the case to
she directors. They looked the mat
Ter over in the light of actuaries' ia
bles, ETC., and finally, after much de-
liberation, decided that the risk was
too great, and so notified the would be
Honor. Not long after he came back
bud renewed his proposition to turn
Die money over to the society, and
laid that he would be content with Z
Der cent. annually. That proposition
gas accepted, and for some years he
regularly at the expiration of
fhe year and drew his interest, taking
300 in cash and the cOmpany's note
for the balance. After doing this for
seven years OF so he turned those notes
back to the company, saying that he
bad no use for them. He is now, at
khe age of 90, blind, deaf, and crippled
By fall so that he cannot walk, and
she Bible society pays the bills for his
suppOrt.

THE MUSTARD PLASTER AS A
CORRECTIVE.
n. Y. Tribune.

N. Y Tribune.
Spare the rod and spoil the child,
was the way our fathers put it. Spare
the mustard plaster and spoil the child,
is the way the Ladies' Protective and
Relief society of San Francisco puts it.
The last annual report of the society
contains this interesting paragraph:
Considerable difficulty has been ex-
perienced of late with the young boys
who play truant from the Institution,
climbing fences and going bathing at
North Beach, or running around the
neighbOrhOOd. Various remedies have
been tried, among them the dressing of
the boys in girls clothes, but the latest
4 device has proved effective. Half a
dozen youngsters played truant the
other day, and on returning received
warm welcome. The matrOn quietly
ordered the boys to take off their jack
cts, and then she applied mustard
plaster to each of the boys backs, and
now they stop at home.
We believe that this is the first time
that the mustard plaster has been i'm
pressed into service as a restraining in
f1uence upon the irrepressible boy, the
boy that is prone to climb fences and
to go in swimming and run wild. And
in the discharge of this important duty
the mustard plaster has evidently
proved a success. The thOughtless
San Francisco boys to whose backs it
has been reprOvingly applied no long
er are found straying in unforbidden
paths. No. They ''nOw stop at home"
says the report, and the words speak
vOlumes-whOle AstOr libraries-as to
the salutary effect of hot mustard when
applied by the conscientious hand of a
faithful sOciety's matrOn to the sensi
tive spine of the small boy. They now
"stop at hOme"-doubtless taking turns
at holding their overheated backs
against the refrigerator of the Ladies'
Protective and Relief society.
The ultimate result of this endeavOr
to supersede the cOrrectives now in use
with the mustard plaster will be watch
ed with great interest by progressive
educators in all parts of the country.
1t is generally admitted by the most
experienced teachers that the punish
ments now in use do not always prove
efficaciOus. The birch rod, the hickory
ferule, the rattan cane, the Ounce cap,
keeping in after school, shutting up in
closet, standing in a corner of the
recitation room, Punishment to a seat
among the girl scholars, suspension, a
written complaint sent home with the
weekly report, pages of Paradise Lost
to be repeated by heart and parsed al
recess-these and other means of grace
which have long been brought to bear
upon the small boy have by no means
eradieated from his system the seeds oil
mischief. All over the United States
this merry May time boys are climbing
forbidden fences and swimming for
hidden waters and running around for
hidden neighborhoods, who, since the
season began, have been frequently
punished with all the punishments we
have enumerated. The outlook would
be discOuraging were it not for San
FranciscO's discovery of the punitiv We
power of the mustard plaster.
For several years this state hai
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1888-05-24

maintained what is known as the Gag
ricultural Experiment Station" As its
name implies, this is an institution in
the interest of farmers. The design is
to make experiments of various sorts
which may be turned to account in the
management of crops and related work.
Now, might it not be wise for the state
to do as we'll by the cause of education
as it has by farming9 The superin-
tendent of public instruction in his
next annual report will perhaps recon-
mend that an educational experiment
station be established, to the end that
the mustard plaster as a corporal pun
ishment be given an exhaustive trial.
