A Rod for the FOOLS Back.

The movement in New York in favor of
restoring corporal punishment in the pub
lie schools says the New York Herald, is
directing attention to the subject in New
Jersey. A large number of educators and
friends of education in this State believe
that it would be we'll to relax the ironclad
severity of the inhibition against the physi-
cal punishment of incorrigible boys and
girls. There are some pupils who are
amenable to no OF Ter kind of discipline.
They are usually narrow minded "smart
AIecks,' who think it excites the admira-
tion of their fellows to fout the teacher
play mean tricks, break the rules and
create disorder. Large boys of this char
acter are often found in schools under the
charge of frail women teachers, and it
would be promotive Of discipline for such
young ours to be sOundly thrashed by the
male principal or some other competent
authority. One such boy will often upset
and subvert the discipline of an entire class
or small school, There is no remedy
against these young fools but expulsion,
and that generally makes a loafer aud often
q criminal Of the victim. A good whip
ping might crush his fool notions Give
him wholesome view OF authority and
develop him into useful citizen. 9Th
do as I please; she dasn't touch me, is
often heard from these fool smart boys. A
few doses of Solomon's remedy would soon
take this foolishness out Of them.

Is a Rival to Lettuce.

lido is the name of a Japanese plant the
Department Of Agriculture is trying to in
troduce iuto the United States to compete
with lettuce as winter salad and it is
announced that the seed of the lido will be
in the list Of free seeds sent out by the
Government this year. The lido has been
in cultivation many years in Japan and
probably was introduced there from China.
It is to be had in all the tea houses in
Japan, its crisp, blanched stems being ser
we'd with salt OF DO led with sauce. The
skins Of the lido plant are much more pal
atahle than celery and have none Of the
objectionable stringy fbers Of that plant.
They have a fresh taste like the mid rib
Of lettuce leaf with slight but most
agreeable suggestion of pine flavor. The
tenderest shoots Of young celery are not
more brittle than the hIarched stemssof the
Udo. Properly served, Udo is mass Of
thick white shavings, two to three inches
long by half an inch wide. with brilliant
silky luster. It should have dressing Of
oil vinegar, salt and pepper. Il i mar

Josephine County Mine Two
Weeks Old Yields Over
$4,000.

The most wonderful gold discovery
ever reported IN Oregon, was made
week ago Sunday by Ray Briggs
by pure accident. The boy, who is
but IS years of age, was out ON the
mountains near Thompson creek hunt
ing grouse and stumbled onto ledge
of almost pure gold, cropping out of
the surface. The find was of such
magnitude that the boy, miner that
he is, could not realize that he had
made the record breaking strike. He
carefully gathered up a double hand
full of the best specimens and secured
a chunk of the quartz about the size
of clndle box, which he took home
to his fathers placer mine. When,
the lad reached home he left the large
chunk in the yard. lest possible
visitors at the house might see his
find. There was, however, none
hut the family at home and he an
nounced to his father, David Briggs,
that lie had handled mis- last boulders.
The father was startled to hear the
dutiful son make such rasIl state
ment when his help was 50 much
needed at the placer mine, but when
the specimens of gold were displayed
and finally the big chunk Of quartz
produced, the father agreed that there
was more profitable work in sight
than hurtling boulders. The rock
was quickly crushed in a hand NOR
tar and yielded nearly $500 in value.
Early the next morning found the
Briggs families-David Briggs and
two sons, George Briggs and Charles
Howard and son at the place where
the find was made and three claims
were quickly staked out. Then be-
gan active mining, the machinery
however. consisting only of hand
snortar. In two hours they had se-
cured $4,000 ana by night they had
rich quartz stacked up in piles.
By Thursday night they had NOR
tared out $25, 600. On Saturday David
Briggs reached Grants Pass with "A
part of the yield, about $4,000, which
was taken to the Grants Pass Banking
& Trust Co. The news Of the find
quickly spread and scores of people
called at the bank to look at the gold
and TO inquire if the report was ac-
tually true. Mr.. Briggs called at the
Courier Office and showed MS a speci-
