state board of health, in a public ad-
dress here declared that everybody of

Liking What You Have.

1t is not always easy to be content with
ones surroundings or possessions; nor is it
Always necessary. To be content with such
things as we have is not intended to make
us lazy and indifferent to the things we
in the place God has evidently placed us.
Much unhappiness is caused by fretful
discomfort, which is a condition OF mind
different from a noble discomfort that seeks
TO rise higher and grow stronger both in
manhood and possessions-fo the sake of
better service. But there is wholesome
bit OF philosophy which may serve us in
the hour of foolish longing after things
clearly impossible to US: IF you haven't
what you like. try to like what you have"
There is tine secret of really getting what
you like" and it is also the secret of con-

Anti-whipping Order.

The Supreme Court recently de-
cided that the conyicts in the State
penitentiary could not be whipped
in any sense of the word, and the
court held that the statute which
provides that the board of control
may provide for "eoporealp punish
ment does not mean that the board
may authorize a convict to be
whipped with the lash or strap. The
court says that the lash cannot be
laid upon citizen, and that the cor
poreal punishment designed by the
statute is solitary confinement and
the like. This decision of the court
will call for a revision of the pres
ent rules governing prison disci-
pline, and in view Of the disastrous
consequences in the case of the negro
Oliver the board will doubtless take
the matter up at once and revise the
rule which has hitherto allowed the
sergeants to apply the lash to refrac-
tory conyicts.
