TEACH CHILDREN CONTROL.

To taunt and jeer at a child when it is
hurt while committing some act of disobe-
dieuce, is only to cultivate the worst kind
of ugly. revengoful feelings in the little
spirit. To punish a child for following
out the f~ullness Of It's little powers-instead
of gently guiding the dawning faculties
is to confuse its sense of right and wrong,
and to deliver it over to dizziness if it is
overpowered. Or else it viii be sharpened
to really mischieyous activities by way of
''getting even'' with its foolish director.
The more irrepressibIe are the natural and
inherent faculties of the child, the more
complete and fine q creature these powers
will make it when mstured. How dread
fui to meet such efforts Of native energy
with handouts for its activities, or reviling
words, that fall on its startled conscious
ness, as has been said, like a blow. What
immense requirements of self-control do
some mothers expect Of their young child
rem, while themselves giving wayt to temper
and passionate yindictiveness over very tri-
fies. To teach a child to control itself is at
once the most delicate art and the one that
brings best returns toparents whocan curb
themselves sufficiently to undertake this
beautiful governing from within. How
often does the quotation DR.. Holmes made
from the back of a mechanical toy, IN ne
taut pas brutaIizer Ia machine" occur to a
thoughtful mother, when she sees the more
wonderful mechanism of a little chiId's ma
ture submitted by its very weakness TO
forcible and ignorant handling?

sELEeTIoS OF THE M. Z. PAs1oEs.

The presiding Bishop at the recent SEES
sion ofthe Philadelphia Conference express
ed himself freely on the lay methods in
choosing and filling appointments to
churches. According to the rules and
traditions Of the Church the will of the
preachers to fill the various pulpits. In
early days the Presiding Elders were called
in as Bishops advisers, having a better ac-
quaintance with the clergy and the wants
possibly could have. In more recent tines.
with the increase in the clergy and the
churches, the Bishops have submitted to a
further division of the responsibility, and
it is now the custom for Methodist con-
gregationsto make selections for the Bishop
rather than to depend on the uncertainty
of the old method. Forty years ago not a
half dozen Methodist preachers knew where
they were to be sent when Conference met;
now nearly all Of them are fixed months be-
fore that time. The new system has the
disadvantage Of leaving open undesirable
churches for the unfortunate brethren who
are not provided for, dealing ont the good
places to a favored few. At the same time
the Bishops authority is weakened and the
rules Of the Church disobeyed in spirit.
But the custom Of congregational choice of
ministers has grown to such proportions
that it can hardly be abolished.

A Flood Victims Dual Life.

JOHNsTOwN, Pa. July 29.-One of the
sensations brought to light by the recent
prominent man and resident of this place
for ten years married here, and the father
of several children, had also wife living in
Philadelphia. He was well liked by every
body and held prominent position with
of a respectable family, and no one sus-
pected that he had been living dual life,
Such, however, was the case, as the
Philadelphia woman has fully established
her identity. and in addition has three
children born to Mr.. Overlook before he
left her. Just how he managed to keep his
Philadelphia wife away from here is not
known, but he regularly sent her $50 a
month from his wages. The case will now
likely be taken into the courts on account
of Mr.. Overbeck's insurance money, as his
family here survived him.

London Iron
Only century ago charcoal iron waspro-
duced to the extent of about 1000 tons
yearly; twenty years later the product was
but 5000 tons. Even Great Britain in 1883
produced only 6S,0OO tons-nOt so much as
some furnaces in the United States now
turn out yearly. The manufacture of steel
was just beginning in the States: twenty
years later only 917 tons were produced in
the country. The cOarsest pig-iron then cost
about as much as steel rails do now. Last
year the American production of pig-iroD
was 9.490. 739 tons, and the highest price OF
best foundry pig was S2l a ton. The out
pat of steel rails was, IN round numbers
/ $50, 500 tons. and the best price $3.50. a

Peculiar Effects ofthe Shock.
Specia, 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, July GA terrific storm
struck this city at $50 o'clock this morn
ing and ragged with varying strength until
1890. During its progress, three boys, COM
ing home from fishing expedition, stopped
under a tree for shelter. Lightning struck
the tree next to the one under which the
trio were standing. splitting Oft a large
branch. This branch touched a branch Of
the tree under which the boys were shelf
cred, and the current of electricity, of
course. took shot through the trunk of the
tree to the ground. Two of the boys. Boink
and Beard, were standing against the tree,
and Shuts was about a foot distant. The
shock knocked Beard down in his tracks.
Boink gave yell of agony. and ran about
ten feet when he. too, fell down. Schultz was
not affected in the least. Beard recovered
in few seconds and was on his feet. He
complained of a numbness in his left side,
and said that his head was Duzzing so that
he couldn't hear. Schultz spoke to him,
and afterward fairly yelled. but to
no avail Beard was temporarily deaf.
At last. by signs, Shultz made
him understand that they must do
something for young Boink, who had not
yet got over his shock. Assistance was Sc
cured from the city. The boy was lying on
his face in the mud, drenched by rain and
pulseless. Restoratives were applied and
BOink began TO recover; his pulse began
beating slowly. His left side was evidently
the most affected, and was paralyzed for
the timo being. At first the pulsations
were about fifteen in the right wrist to one
In the left Afterwards they became more
regular. When he was able to talk the boy
