COM was the highest. all washed AT
their base 10y the sea, and lastly. cor
responding 10 her hills were three
coyes. OF which the most easterly. en-
closed by the headlands OF Copps and
Fort Hill, became the Town Cove and
Dock. or the other coves. the one
lying 10 the south OF Town Cove was
embraced between the point OF land
near the foot OF South street. former
ly known as Windmill Point. and the
head OF the bridge 10 South Boston;
this blight OF water was the South
Cove. A third inlet on the northwest
OF the peninsula. lying between the
two points of land from which now
extend o..dges To Charlestown and
East Cambridge. became subsequently

New safety Matches.

\ German named rriCStcr has IN
vented "A now in6ammablc matter for
safety matches. which has great ad-
vantagcs over the material now in use.
Its base is sulphide Of zinc. which is
obtained by the melting OF oxide Of
zinc with sulphur. The employment
Of sulphide of zinc does away with the
necessity of using the chromate,
which was formerly held indispcnsa-
BILE and which has the great disadvan-
tage Of being exceedingly poisonous.
The new preparation has the further
advantage of igniting very readily on
the prepared surface, and does not
crumble away SO easily as n prepara-
tlon containing other sulphides.

To Discipllne the ChiId.

A symposium on the subject OF pa
rental duties and home discipline re-
Gently appeared in a leading New Zea.
land newspaper and the published in
terview with DE- Symes gives mate
rial for thought.
The tendency OF modern ideas"
says DR.. Symes, mas been to abolish
any real discipline in family life. be-
cause discipline depends on the prin-
ciple of headship in the father, where.
as. a the present time, the mother is
often the real head OF the family. \
father teaches children to obey as a
duty, while a mother coaXes them to
Go what is required by giving them
presents. The rule OF the father de
velops respect for law and order,
while the mother depends entirely on
the persuasion OF love
1T is true that the mothers infiu-
cnce develops sympathies which are
the source of all that il most beauti.
ful and attractive in human niture,
but unless these sympathies are prop
erly controlled ana directed they may
lead to disaster. The fathers rule is
that OF the head or Judgment; the
mothers influence is that OF the heart
or sympathy.
IF wife VIII not support her hus.
bands rule as mead OF the family, she
is not likely TO acquire the power 10
make the children obey her. So that
if the mothers influence predomin-
ates over the fathers rule the children
will grow up to do only what they find
most agreeable, instead of making
obedience 10 duty the rule Of their
lie" 49,

Regulating Dress in Colonial Times.

The ministers in Colonial times did
not fail in their duty in attempting 10
march with the magistrates in the re-
striction and simplihcation of dress.
They preached often against "intoler-
able pride in clothes and hair" Even
when the Pilgrims had been in Hol-
land, the preachers had been deeply
disturbed over the dress OF their min
lster's wife Nine. Johnson, who wore
lawn coiyes" and busks and velvet
hood, and "whalebones in her petit
coat bodice" and worst OF all. "a
topish hat" one of the earliest inter
ferences Of Roger Williams was when
he instructed IN '-omen of Salem
parish always TO wear wells in public.
But John Cotton preached to them the
next Sunday, and II proved 10 the
danes and good wives that wells were
a sign and symbol or undue subjection
TO their husbands, and Salem women
soon proved their rights by coming
barefaced TO meeting.
