methods of living, not one woman in a

natural change without experiencing
a train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.

ExACTiNG DISCIPLINE,
The Cruel Severity of an Cnmerciful
Father.


The Cruel Severity of an Unmerciful
Father.
Philip Gilbert Hamerton was. durin @
his childhood, the victim of a severe
and cruel discipline. His father was
man of ungovernable temper and H.
regular life, who had no sympathy with
childish foibles, and whose only idea
of educating boy was to make man
of him"
His method of teaching lad to ride
was to accompany him on a vicious
black horse, and when little Philip
erred in any of the observances of good
riders, to punish him with his heavy
hunting whip. The whip had a steel
hammer at the end of long handle;
and if at any time the owner fancied
that the child was turning out his toes,
he would not say anything, but with
cruel dexterity heal him a blow on the
foot, sharp enough to make him writhc
with pain.
Yet this Spartan severity had it's val
liable side. The elder Halnerton I'M
derstood the Importance of concentra-
ton, and il he saw the boy occupied
with several books, would say:
''Take one of those books and read
it steadily. Don't potter and play with
half Dozen"
What he hated most was lie or the
shadow of a lie, and so bitter was this
aversion that Philip was sometimes pun
ished unjustly. He was expected to
practice with dumb-bells Is minutes
every morning. This exercise was
taken in the garden, but before begin
ring he always looked at the clock in
the sitting-room. One day the father
met him and asked:
NV 'Have you done your IS minutes?''
Eyes, papa"
''That is not true" said his aunt, from
the next room. HE has only practiced
for:ten minutes; look at the Clock
f.. The hand stood at ten minutes past
IL; and though the boy protested that
he had begun at ten minutes before the
hour, the Traditional lie'' put his father
in fury, and he was ordered to prac-
tice continually for two hours. And
though the child was ready to drop with
fatigue long before the 100 minutes were
over, not one of them was remitted.-

b. & o. improvements Completed.

The improvements on the Main Line of
the Baltimore and Ohio, west of, and be-
tween Martinsburg, w. Va, and North
Mountain, have been completed Novem-
Der lst. They cover distance of nearly
four miles, starting three miles west of Mar
tinsburg, and extending some distance
west of Myers Hole, which is near the North
Mountain station. At Myers Hole the line
was changed, taking out some very OBJ;
jectionable curvature, and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating two
grades of AZ feet per mile which came to-
gether at Myers Hole and substituting there
for an almost level track. This point on the
road has always been dangerous one, and
many freight wrecks have occurred there.
Apart from doing away with the dangerous
feature of two sharp down grades coming
together, as was the case in this instance,
the saving in operation of the road by the
change will be very large, as it enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased and
reduces the liability Of accident to the min
imum. At Tablers the road-bed has been
lowered about Is feet, and the same at
Tabs, besides taking out Objectionable curv-
allure and reducing the rate of grades at
these points from AZ feet per mile to 10 feet
per mile, thus increasing the cars that can
be hauled per train. Though these improve
ments have cost quite sum of money, the
expenditure is fully justified by the great
saving in operation.
