Discipline For Children.

A judicial decision which has just
been rendered at the Court in Munich
shows that corporal punishment is still
regarded in Germany as an indispen-
sable factor of education. "a school
teacher" says the Judge, has the right
to infict corporal punishment as well
on the pupils of his own class as on
those of other classes. AS pupils are
,amenable to scholastic jurisdiction
even after the school hours are over,
they may be punished by the teacher
even outside of the school,, A clergy
man who is giving religious insruc-
tion has the same right in this respect
as other teachers. Furthermore, the
infliction of such punishment cannot
be made the basis of legal action un-
less it can be shown that the pupil has
been really and seriously injured. Such
a serious injury would be a wound en-
dangering health or life. Bruises and
ordinary abrasions, however, are not
to be considered as serious wounds,
since marks of the kind are apt to
appear whenever punishment is ad-
ministered."

PREHISTORIC ART IN ARIZONA.
Masterpiece of a Barbarous Sculptor
Found in the Clifton Copper Deposits.

While eXcavating recently III Cliff
ton. Arizona, for the copper smelling
plant of the Shannon Copper Company,
a discovery of great interest to I'LL
students of archaeology was made.
At a DEPTH of several feet from the
surface the workmen found stone
bowl OF dish and bear also of stone,
both undoubtedly of great antiquity.
The bear is about seven inches long
and four inches high, and the work
shows considerable merit from an ar
tistic standpoint. 1t is made from
block of soapstone and is perfect
representation, even to the claws upon
the toes. 1t is we'll proportiored,
stands firmly on its four feet, and,
with the primitive tools at the COM
mand of the barbarous sculptor, must
have been q work of considerable time
and patience.
The bowl is about fifteen inches
long and six inches wide. cut from a
solid piece Of sandstone, with curved
bottom and four horns, two Oh each
end, ,fbeing prolongation of the sides.
Thissbowl is as smooth on the inside
as though cut with q steel chisel, yet
undoubtedly it was made with stone
implements. It seems reasonable. how
ever; to believe that prehistoric man in
Arizona knew something about cop
per and, possibly, Of a method to
harden it SO, that it would keep q
cutting edge; this has been proved TO
be true of primitive man in other
parts of the world, as many such hard
ened copper tools have been found.
The district around Clifton is literally
one immense deposit of carbonate and
isulphide copper ore and often the cop
per is found in a metallic state more
or less incorporated with porphryry.
This metallic copper was smelted from
theories by nature herself. 1t would
be easy with the simplest tools to ham
mer this until all the rock it con-
tained had been broken away, leav-
ing the pure metal in 4 solid mass.

swithout doubt, gradually merged into
each other, and in places such as Cliff
ton, where the metal itself lay ready
to the hand, the former was scon
superseded by the latter.
These relics, together with many
pieces of broken pottery. lay concealed
in mother earth for many centuries,
until the never ending search for
wealth once more revealed them to
the wondering gaze Of q civilization
as far in advance of that of their
original owners as this latter days

means something more than fat and
wcll-developed carcasses. 1t includes
4 certain tenderness and juiciness Of
meat which can he gained only through
rapid growing and laying on of flesh.
This result has been obtained by good
feeding of good animals. If these ami
mails had ceased to grow the meat
would begin to lose much of its best
virtues. 1t may not be an easy mat
ter always to tell just when it has
reached its full prime, but it is more
profitable to sell Just before that period,
and thus lose the few extra pounds she
may have gained, than to hold her
few weeks beyond full maturity when
she gains nothing in weight and loses
in quality. Most of us are inclined to
hold our cattle too long, and it may
we'll be of value to some Of US to look
into the matter. Are we hampering
ourselves by holding cattle over for
higher markets when they should be
sold at once, or are we selling them
just as soon as they have reached their
prime and are in the very best condi-
ton for the market.-E. ?. Smith, in

Their Life Was All Courtship.


Probably the marriage between VIII
liam Ewart Gladstone and Catherine
Glynne was what is happily known rs
a love match" She was a famous
beauty, and he was amply fitted to
appreciate her loveliness, which from
year to year he learned was as much
of character as of appearance. That
she was content to play the part OF
true help mate all who have ever seen
the couple together have borne wit
ness. Intellectually. she was perhaps
fitted to make name for herself had
she so chosen: if he had not been SO
exceedingly great he might have been
known only rs the husband. But she
was satisfied to be his prop-remain-
ing in the background when necessary
or coming to the fore if he had need
of her there In the busy, hard-work-
ing days of his life she was his con-
stant attendant, and it has been said
that his moral strenuousness was Of
tentimes due to her influence.
Then as illness and old age made it
necessary for him to lessen his pub
lie duties, she continued to he the true
helpmate by watching over his physi-
cal comforts in the tenderest way. 1t
was said at the time of his death that
her unceasing care had undoubtedly
prolonged his life. 1t must have been
gratifying to her to hear this, for she
had clearly made this her mission.
When his life went out she felt in a
sense that her life work was done also,
and she looked for the summons to
leave this world with no feelings of
dread.-Boston Transcript.

Paris Fountains.

The fountains of Paris are among
the most interesting features of the
city. and the authorities are careful to
increase their attractiveness whenever
an opportunity arises. An experiment
has been tried by which the waters
will become luminous. 4 sort of gold
en- yellow will alone be employed, but
the waters will assume the appearance
of cascades of diamonds and topazes.
TIL effect will be attained hy means of
electric lights and colored glasses
placed around the basin in such Il way
that the beauty of the fountain will
notbe diminished when seen by day

Water For a Crop Of Corn.

About $500 tons of water per acre
is the estimate for 4 crop of corn.
Such weight Of water would crush
4 strong building. and yet more than
that quantity falls upon IN acre in the
course Of year. 1t is not so difficult
to obtain the water as to prevent its
loss. It is known that if tub of Wa

If the land is cultivated frequently the

Keepfnr Animals Too Long.

II is q very cOmmenlable and human
it&rian sentiment TO okeep cattle too long.
for il indicates an attachment for them
that one is 10th 10 break. and yet a
farmer who is raising animals for his
living cannot let sentiment interfere
with what he knows to he good busi-
ness. Others keep cattle too long SIM
ply because they happen to be ignorant
Of the best time to dispose of them,
and they keep waiting for better turn
in the markets to help them get good
returns. Sometimes this living in the
hope Of doing better later induces a
farmer 10 carry his herd over from
month to month. aDd before he knows

are meantime eating up all the prof

then something seems to be wrong
The wrong is very often that the cattle
