Tho Summer l3oarder.

The summer boarder has done as
much as anybody toward the develop
ment of that ideal life which results
from the blending of the urban and
rural existence. Man needs to fellow
ship with nature and also needs to fell
lowship with man, before he can round
himself out to the limits of his possible
symmetry. There are times when q
man needs to root himself in the soil
to get his best growth. He needs to
put himself in connection with the
great dynamic reservoir of nature, the
big motor from which we must all
draw our ultimate currents of energy.
He must also mix with other men, to
come in contact with the currents
which they lave drawn from their own
individual source of supply.

A NORWEGIAN DINNER.

It Was y Very Good One, Too, If 1t Was
Peculiar.
A neat maid with a beautiful COM
plexion announced dinner and Prof
Heiberg offered me his arm, and as he
took his seat at the table said: "Vel-
kommen til borded" (welcome to the
hospitality.
The table was charmingly arranged
with quaint old Norwegian silver and
beautifully fine embroidered linen. The
silver Advantageous of various shapes
had usually little round, tinkling things
hanging from them as an ornamental
ton; these bangles gave a light and
pretty effect, and are quite old Nor
wegian style. Some of the spoons, with
their quantity twisted handles, were
also very pretty.
honor had been composed of purely
representative foods First of all we
had delicious white soup made from
cod, in which foated small balls of the
fish, along with French beans that had
previously been prepared by being
soaked in vinegar and sugar. This soup
sounds curious melange, but it was
really excellent Next came prepared
fish, served in a soutti, dish. something
like kegeree, only without any rice. A
white sauce was handed with this.
Wonderful to relate, we had fshknives,
still great luxury abroad.
Cold ham, tongue, and peas, prettily
arranged together on one dish, were
next handed around; and then came
ptarmigan, which in it's native land,
we'll lardei, and with thick Norwegian
sauce, is an excellent dish. With this
we had compete of rasberries, red cur
rant jelly, and preserved ginger.

They grow on low bushes in the Nor
wegian mountains, the fruit and flower
bearing simultaneously. They are
picked in October. and preserved, and
served cold with cream. They have a
slight flavor of pine trees, if such a
thing is possible, but they are fascinat-
ing food.
Two or three kinds of bread were
eaten-white rolls, black bread, which
closely resembles German ''pumpl<er-
nickel" and fad brod," a bread or
cake made from rye, and first cousin to
Scotch oatcake. Hook and claret were
drank during the dinner and sweet
champagne served with the pudding
and dessert. After dessert we had
cheese and the meal ended.-Murray'r

the boys minds that the bear had
chased the two deer through the woods
putting them into the water and had
swan out in pursuit of them; but the
great shaggy brute faced the two
brothers. glaring at their lanterns,
and still made no step toward them;
and he was evidently in great terror,
for the hurricane was every moment
growing louder and louder, the sea
running higher. npon the raft, and the
whole fabric creaking and straining,
and threatening to go apart at any mo.
ment. The land to windward was
bleak and rocky, and the storm came
bowling down turning the face of the
like white and driving the water in one
continuous drenching shower over the
raft
About mile below was the renorse-
less falls, a pitch of about forty feet in
the river, sheer over rocky wall, a
place over which it was next to impos-
sible for any living thing to go and not
be pounded to death in the rocks be-
low by the thunderous overflow of
water. The boys still chung desper-
ately to the hope of being able to bring
the raft to land, but they soon saw that
it was impossible. The current grew
swifter and swifter, and they could see,
by the cleaning waves that flashed
under the light of their swinging
lanterns that they were moving along
almost as fast as boat undor full sail.
Extending out into the lake about
half mile above the falls, was a rocky
point upon which fort had been
erected great many years ago, during
the Fenian invasion, by the Dominion
government. and as the country round
about at the time was disturbed by an
uprising of Indians and Metis, several
soldiers were kept there on guard
for many weeks. The water

THE AFFAIR IN ASSAM.

The public will have to await further dis
patches before forming an opinion touching
the importance of the outbreak in Assam,
British India. Judging from present ad
vices it appears to Do pretty serious affair.
Assam is a State in the valley of the
Brahmap0otra. lying north of Burmah, with
which it was at one time connected. 1t was
annexed by the British some siXty-ive years
ago, and, according to the Indian usage, has
ever since been governed by Chief Com
missioner, who however, did not SUI ersede
the native RaJah. \ local uprising lately
overthrow the latter; he appealed to Cal
cutta for help; the Commissioner was or
dsred to the scene with two regiments to
restore order; the natives surrounded his
little force, and are said to have cut it to
pieces and destroyed its commanders. The
Governor General, who is already in his
summer quarters at SImla, in the hills, has
dispatched considerable force to the thea
ter Of action, and proposes to take The COM
mand in person. These are the facts, or the
alleged facts. as they are reported by the
correspondents.
Instructions are matters of such conf
mon occurrence in British Inda, and their
suppression is so much a matter of course,
quences and require no attention. But it
must always be borne in mind that the gov
eminent Of 100000, 600 intelligent people by
10000 foreigners is an anomaly. and that the
control of the Englishman is sure to be
brought into question whenever native of
enterprise and ability comes to the surface.
In 1857 the popular uprising, which the En-
glish ingenously called mutiny." very
nearly overthrow British power in the PEN
insula. 1t would have done so if the insur-
gents had had a man of genius TO lead them.
Unfortunately for them, and luckily for the
English, they had no leader; they were a
mere mob, that scattered and melted away
when confronted by disciplined troops COM
handed by skillful Generals.
Whether tue movement in Assam is
renewa of the effort OF the Htndostanees to
throw off the foreign yoke, or mere local
disturbance that few regiments can quell,
we shall have to wait for further intelli-
geuce to ascertain.

paper further says that Mitchell has been

the statement that Mitchell has plundered
this paper to the amount If one cent. The
assertion, so far as Mitchell is concerned, is
entirely destitute Of truth. Neither has
Mitchell ever BEEN employed in confden-
tial capacity, nor has he ever solicited sub

has taken CALL money to the amount of
about one hundred dollars. He has gone.

AN HOUR OF WAR.

The American people enjoyed an hour Of
war Tuesday afternoon. The news came
that the italian Minister at Washington had
demanded his passports by order OF his Gov
eminent and that a number OF Americans
in Italy had been arrested and detained as
hostages There vas very general agree
ment that Italy had done rash thing and
one that would make trouble for her in the
future The hostage business was regarded
as extremely improbable, but good many
people thought the impatient Italian Gov
eminent had recalled its Minister. 1t APP
pears, however, that De Fava was recalled
for alleged participation in frauds in the
purchase of tobacco for Italy. He stood
well with the late italian Ministry, but had
no pull" with the present one. In recall
ing De Fava the italian Government did not
fully appreciate the rapidly with which
news travels and grows in the United
States. Starting with the simple fact that
the Italian Minister had been recalled, we
soon had Americans in prison in various
parts of Italy and speculation as to whether
or not the armored Italian war-shipS could
cross the Atlantic. The war breeze has

PUNISHMENT IN THE SCHOOLS.

The case Of Joseph 0'Counor late princi-
pal of the Valencia-street Grammar School,
will probably lead to reformation of our
methods or school discipline. It is in evil
dence that he beat a twelve-year-old boy
named Kinsman so the marks Of the whip
ping were visible on the boys body three
days afterward.
1t is not TO the purpose to point out that
the boy was truant; that he had a bad
record, and that he had given so much trou-
bic at hons that his mother had been in the
habit Of whipping him. There are lots Of
boys at the schools whom this description
would fit Thew TO deal with them is not to
try to conquer" them, as 0ConBOr proposed
by force, but to employ the methods which
enlightened educational science prescrlbes.
To thrash lad who is naturally perverse,
obstinate and idle so that he shall carry the
marks on his skin for days is merely to con-
firm him in his perversity and to rouse his
ugly instincts. 1t was by such methods
that discipline used to be enforced in armies
in the old dark days. Years ago they were
discovered TO be a failure. and in ali civilized
countries they have been abandoned. Mr.
OCOnnor appears to DE the sole survivor of
the school which ineulcated good behavior
by the use of a cat-O'-nine-tais.
This man, who would apparently be more
at home in pugilsts ring than in school,
understands human nature 50 imperfectly
that he does not realize that corporal pun
ishment is degrading and has direct ten
dency to impair the impulse of a pupil to ex-
eel in his class. A boy who is beaten is
cowed. He is humiliated before his com
panions. HIS spirit is knocked out of him.
lie submits to force, but he eherishes in his
heart a burning thirst for revenge which
overpowPrs the incentive to learn and i'm
prove himself If he is often beaten he will
probably be driven into the ranks of the
apprentices of crime. His sole thought will
be to get even with his tyrant, and with the
system of which he is the representative.
On the other hand, it is unsafe to place in
the hands of teachers the power to beat and
maltreat their pupils. No occupation tries
the patience so severely as teaching Job
himself would have gone near to losing his
temper il he had had to deal with set Of
dull, Inattentiye ana impudent boys. Where
a teacher is invested with the power Of in
ficting corporal chastisement he must be
gifted with self-cOntrol, not to use it unrea-
sonably and in rage aud passion. Mr..
OConnor appears to be destitute of that
faculty.
The committee Of the Beard Of Education
have suspended him, and the full board will
probably remove him. That course will
commend itself to public approval, but it
should be accompanied with the adoption of
a rule forbidding corporal punishment in
the public schools.

THE TYRANNY oF DEBT.

The report that a number of officers Of the
German army were compelled to attend a
house-warming to which they had been in
vited by money-lender is hardly credible
The audacity Of the money-lender in pre-
senting to his guests a class of eople who
are known only by their Christian names
passes belief. If there is any truth in the
report it illustrates the tyranny of debt.
The money-lender must have had several Of
the first families of Berlin in his power.
Nothing whatever but debt on insufficient
security would compel these German officers
to put up with the indignity their creditor
subjected them to. Probably if the accident
of birth was set aside and they were judged
on the test of conduct there would not have
been much difference between the guests.
But the cruel mOney-lender must have felt
pretty sure of his grip on his victims to ven
ture to take such liberty with them.

The death of Lord Granville removes another
one of Gladslone's old associates. AS Colonial
and, later on, Foreign Secretary he played
very conspicuous part in shaping the Liberal
policy in colonial matters and foreign affairs
He was skilltul debater, and when the 'Grand

OF the opposition Lord Granville became tile
leader of The Liberal party. His signature was

an editorial notice Of the interview, says
that sir. Stewards line IS threatening from

of his threats lies entirely in the asSump-
ton that three other Republican Senators

the present tariff. Attaching himself to
these three Mr.. Stewart would make up
the number OF Senators necessary to amend
the tariff. But the Press says that the three
Republican Senators who voted against the
tariff are disposed to test the tariff by re-
suits. They viii see how it works before
they help the Democrats to overthrow it.
