There are more than 100, OOO. children
in the national schools of Germany
who stutter.

The collections of star fishes and
sea urchins belonging to the museum
of the University of Michigan are be-
ing arranged in a case on the second
floor of the museum building. Al
though not large the collection con-
tains some interesting and valuable
specimens.
One of the peculiar arguments which
lately came TO our notice, says the Bos-
ton Waterman, was that of a member
of a pulpit committee of a church
which IN all its history has never kept
pastor more than four years. He OBJ
jected to calling a minister so years old,
because he feared that at the end of
Is or 90 years he would be worn out.
The movement to ameliorate the con-

cept it. In the last % years this assO-
citation of Christian men and women
has helped 361, 900 prisoners after their

and will draw up the-legging contracts
to provide for the preservation OF

the forest yield a permanent annual
revenue to go towards the support OF

PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN.
DeoeitfuIneEs anG Impedes
Moral Growth.

refined woman recoils even from
the thought of corporal punishment
for her children, yet it is but a short
time ago since the rod was admins
tered with cruel severity in schools
and in homes, says the New York Trib-
une. 1t can be easily proved that the
discipline in schools is far better to-
day than in those olden times when
the scholar saw the rod constantly BE-
fore him to enforce obedience. 1t
might be more difficult to prove that
the children of to-day are better be-
haved than the children of a few gen
erations ago, but we believe they are.
WhosOever trusts in God and in the ad-
vancement of the race must believe
that whatever individual lapses may
occur, the boys and girls of to-day as
a whole are working out a nobler man
hood and womanhood than the last
generation ever knew. Fear no longer
rules them, but love. There is less de-
ceit to-day among children than there
was among those who were cowed by
the whip, and sincerity is the first step
toward genuine improvement. Moth
ing is more dangerous to the moral ma
ture of a self-respecting child who is
old enough TO think than the use of
brute force TO compel its will. Such a
child must be kept in the right way by
kindly persuasion and reason. He
must realize from the beginning that
his mother is his Heaven-given guide,
and know that she will suffer herself
and see him suffer physically rather
than have him do wrong.
\ very little child is only taught by
its physical senses that fire burns and
must be avoided. 1t can be taught in
the same way at this early age to avoid
other evils. \ trivial bodily punish
ment administered in no more retalia-
tory spirit than the burning log shows
to the small hand that reaches it will
do a great deal of good. Some mothers
are foolish enough to punish children
in a fit of anger. 1t is not pleasant
thing to see a man or woman, flushed
with anger, strike a little child. Chill
dren are marvelOUsly sensitive to the
mental condition of their elders. An
ger only arOuses them to a retaliatOry
state. \ grown person who is not able
to govern his own temper cannot hope
to govern a child and train him in the
way he should go. The moment child
is able TO reason and to understand a
higher motive for doing right than the
avoidance of a slight physical hurt
which a kind mother may administer
in punishment, II is time TO stop such
punishment. a very little child can
be easily taught to avoid evils by a
Slight rap on the hand, where it will do
no injury, and like kitten or other lit
tie animal can be taught in no other
way, but the moment the mind devel-
ops a higher motive can be appealed to.
1t is dangerous, foolish practice, de-
grading to both parent and child, for a
parent to treat thinking lad as if he
were no higher mentally than stub
born colt.

FRESH FROM THE PLAINS.
He Knew He Had a Half and Was
Bound to Make the
Call.

When a young fellow is in love, and
particularly when he is in the pres
ence of the object of his affections, he
can never do himself justice. He can
talk more brilliantly TO anyone else
in the world He suffers from mental
inertia and never thinks until 1t is
too late of the bright things he might
have done, says the Detroit Free Press.
This one has the disadvantage OF
having spent the last several years on
a ranch where the chances for culture,
self-suppression and all that sort of
thing, are but little better than with
a semicivilized tribe. He came back
here for a winters vacation and, in
thecourse of his continuous attentions,
took her to church. To this man of
outdoor life the influences were SOM
nolent, and she deftly recalled him sew
eral times Just as he was doing away
to temporary oblivion.
At the passing of the contribution
box he was alert with appreciation and
confidence. He put up his finger to
arrest the attention of the collector.
He ran his hand into his pocket and
looked startled. Then he explored his
other pockets, becoming more agitated
and redder as the search went on.
SPY Jove. Mertie," he exclaimed, ''I
put in a half sure, just to make this
call. Deuced queer!" and he kept on
diving while a subdued litter from all
sides accompanied his efforts.
'Say, old man, I'll mail it to you.
and that's on the dead
The man with the plate laughed
cheerily, said it was all right, and
moved on. He had worked back half
dozen pews e1d was still wrestling
with his mirth.
Then he heard a clear whistle. looked
back and there saw the youth from the
ranch with his half-dollar high in the
air and looking triumphant. 1t was all
so freshly natural that the congrega-
ton were pleased and the rector
| sought an introduction.

PRACTICED BY ANCIENTS.
Capitol Was Laid with
Great Ceremony.

Lanciarni. the Roman archaeOlogist,
has discovered that it was the custom
in old Rome to lay the corner stone OF
a public building with elaborate cere-
monies. and he cites proof that this
was universal practice in the ancient
world. At the laying of the corner
stone when the capitol of Rome was
rebuilt a procession of vestal virgins
robe6 in white surrounded the stone
and sonsecrated il with ibatiOns of
water. A prayer TO the gods followed
and then the magistrates, priests, SEN
ators and knights laid hold of the ropes
and moved the mighty stone toits prop
sr position. In a hollow cut in the
stone were placed ingots Of gold, sill
yer and other metals which had not
been melted in any furnace. With the
Jews the corner stone was considered
an emblem of power. and they also
performed ceremonies at it's laying. In
medieval times the rite was taken up
by the Order of Free MasOns and has
by them been brought down to mod
ern days. The masonic ceremony Of
laying corner stone stone is symbol
ical. The form of the stone, a square on
the surface, and a perfect cube; its
place, at the northeast corner of the
structure; the testing of it with a
square, level and plumb. and the pour
ing of libations of corn. wine and oil
over it-all have their hidden mean
ing. The custom of laying the corner
stone with ceremonies is usually OBJ
served at the commencement of any
public building, when coins of the cur
rent year. newspapers and important
documents are placed within the stone
to serve AS valuable historical relics
when the building shall be destroyed.

A BUFFALO DUEL.
In Which the Old Monarch of the
Herd Is OverthrOVvn by
Younger Member.

In his paper on The National Zoo
at Washington" in the Century, Ernest
Seton-ThOmpson describes a duel be-
tween two buffalo bulls.
@The buffalo herd had so far reverted
to native state that the old bull ruled
for several years, much as he would
have done on the plains. He was what
the keeper called not a bad BOSS that
is, he was not malicious in his tyranny.
One of the younger bulls made an at
tempt to resist him once. and had to be
punished. The youngster never fOrgos
or fOrgave this, and year or so later
feeling himself growing in strength, he
decided to risk it again. &c advanced
toward the leader, John L. and shoot
his head up and down two or three
times, in a style recognized among
buffalo as a challenge. The big fellow
was surprised, no doubt. He gave :
warning shake. but the other would
not take warning. Both charged. But;
to the old bulls amazement, the young
one did not go down. What he lacked
in weight he more than made up IL
agility. Both went at it again, now
desperately. After two or three OF
these terrific shocks the old one re.
allied that he had not cow his Old-tim0
strength and wind. As they pushed and
parried, the young bull managed to get
under the other, and with a tremendous
heave. actually pitched his huge body
up into the air and dashed him down
the hillside. Three times the old bull
was thus thrown before he would yield,
and then he sought to save his life by
flight. But they were not now on the
open plains; the pen was limited, and
the victor was of a most ferOciOus
temper. The keepers did what they
could, but stout ropes and fences in
terposed were no better than straws.
The old bulls body was at last left on
the ground with 63 gashes, and his son
reigned in his stead. This is one of the
melancholy sides of animal life-the
weak to the wall, the aged dOwned by
the young. 1t has happened millions of
times on the plains, but perhaps was
never before so exactly rendered for
human eyes to see"
