Controlling Children.

Bursts of passion in little child
must be met by steady, gentle frmness
on the mothers side. Loud outcries
should be husl1ed not by angry words,
but by grave quietness of voice and
speech, which helps to repress them by
mere force of contrast.
Passionate gestures, such as blows,
kicks and drumming with the heels
upon the floor should be prevented by
physical force if necessary. Above
all, the thing coveted, if it cause the
child to fly into rage as the readiest
means OF obtaining it, should never be
granted. AS the child grows older
and can be reasoned with, he or she
should be taught to avoid the begin
nings OF wrath, to struggle against
irritability and not to give way to it
in words when it rises in the mind.
Quick-tempered children often have
generous, lovable natures, easily inAu-
enced for good A wish to place an
other and to do what is right for its
own sake may be made strong enough
to close the lips against the torrent OF
angry words that rushes to them and
so helps them to victory. Each effort
at self-conquest makes the next one
easier.

teachers thoroughly able to teach the
young people the various subjects re-
quircd, and the result of that was that
Protestant children went to the Chris
tian Brothers. schools for secondary
education. In parish in his own do
,cese, through the liberality OF the late
Count Moore, monastic school had
been established there, and some of
the Protestant children of the district
went to it. 1t was not in twos and
threes, but in hundreds, that Protest
ant children were going to these
schools" Mr.. Moffat, referring to the
Catholic teaching orders, said he did
not see how any one who understood
the meaning of self-sacri6ce in human
lie could fail to admire the action oi
those who devoted the whole of their
lives to promoting the good OF others
Rev. DR.. Fristram added even more
significantly still that what they want
ed was something like teaching orders
in the Protestant Church. "Let them
look at the Christian Brothers, who
were the most faithful, devoted men
perhaps the. world had ever seem"
Coming from such source, such tes-
timony to the noble and sclf-sacrifcing
labors of the Christian Brothers has
a special value OF its own. 1t will
perhaps enable Irish Catholics to real
ize more willy even than before the
immense debt OF gratitude which they
owe to the devoted brothers.

to the sportsmen, as the pigeons will
never be slaughtered here again by
netting by potllunters as they were
years ago.
The remorseless manner and the
means OF slaughter in the later SIX

helped to drive the pigeons away, as
there has never been any lack of food.
They will be protected now along

THE WILD PIGEON.
Again in Evidence After an Absence
of Almost Forty Years.

There seems to be no longer any
doubt that the wild pigeons which
were once SO abundant as to be a
nuisance and which disappeared SO
nlystcriously all OF a sudden from the
Inhabited parts OF the United States
and Canada, are reappearing in some
OF their old haunts, says the Quebec
Saturday Budget. 1t it not likely
that they will be ever witnessed again
in the vast numbers OF former years.
Many OF our citizens, who are still OH
the bright side OF half century, will
readily recall when they were so
plentiful in this district that they sold
On the city markets as low as 12H cents
dozen, while others, whose men,
cries carry them back still further,
will remember when their flights were
so great as to almost darken the sky
and when the divine intercession was
frequently implored to save the grow
ing crops from their destructiveness
On all sides they were shot and trap
ped without mercy and, being exceed
ingly game as we'll as toothsome birds,
pigcon-hunting was iavorite sport all
over the country and contributed
largely to the food supply OF the peo-
pie But their numbers did not seem
to very greatly diminish until almost
suddenly in the latter sixties or early
seventies they disappeared altogether
from the settled parts OF the United
States and Canada. What became Of
them: All sorts OF more or less color
able theories have been imagined to
account for that disappearance, but it
has never yet been satisfactorily ex-
planned. The fact, however, that they
are now rcappearing is much more im-
portant at present and will be hailed
with much joy both by Canadian and
American sportsmen. On the subject,
there is apparently little room for
doubt, as the news comes from diff
ierent quarters and from good sources.
Among others, for instance, the New
York Sun says
Reports from the forest jewellers OF
Catskills in the townships OF Denning
and Hardcnburgh, in Ulster county,
in this State. say that considerable
numbers OF wild blue wood pigeons
are returning to that locality.
The forest in those townships thir-
tv years ago sheltered millions Of
these birds which lived on the beech
nuts, OF which there we're large guam
titles. Among about 1873 the pigeons
suddenly abandoned this county, and
since then until this spring there had
been hardly pigeon seen i'll the Cat
skills.
During the summers Of 1872 and
1873 there were such immense flights
oi pigeons in this locality as to OBJ
scurc the sun as with cloud at noon
day. The next summer they were
gone, and nobody could tell whittier.
1t is believed that the severe winter
Just past has driven the pigeons from
their nesting and roosting grounds in
the lar northern Canadian woods to a
new breeding ground further south,

NO new TRIAL.
Petition Of the Consolidated Railroad In The
Clarke Case Denied.

In the Washington County case OF Mary
ID. Clarke against the New York. New
Haven e. Hartford Railroad company
defendants petition for a new trial has
been denied by the appellate court Plain
tin was given a verdict in the common
pleas division for damages resulting rom
her woodland and pastures being burnt
by sparks from a locomotive. The re-
suling from the sparks was an extern
sive one.
Defendant set forth a number OF
grounds on which a new trial should DO
granted. One of these was objectionable
remarks of counsel for plaintiff. The
appellate court finds those remarks Meth
er improper or prejudicial. A third ground
was that the court erred In admitting tes-
timony as to the damage done by fire
to growing trees.
Plaintiff had made an agreement in
writing whereby a Mr. Camp had author
ity to cut and remove all wood and tim
ber standing on said land. OF the cir
cumstances the court says: ".. similar
agreement, but in the form OF a deed,
acknowledged and recorded was held in
Fish va. Capwel Is r. /. 66 To convey
no interest In the land and to be execu-
tory and revocable license only. What
ever trees were not cut and removed be-
longed to the plaintiff. and therefore she
had the right to show the damage TO
growing trees.
AS 10 a claim that the court efred In
allowing testimony OF the damage TO wood
cut and lying on the ground, the defend
ant is held not TO have been injured
thereby. In regard TO defendant claim
that the trial justice was In error I'm re-
fusing TO charge that the fact that the
defendants servants aided in putting out
the fire did not support the fact that the
defendants locomotive caused the fire,
and in saying. II charge you just the con-
trary," the appellate court agrees with
defendant
II does not think the error sufficient
ground for a new trial. and II could only
bear upon the question OF fact whether
the fire was started by sparks from the
defendants engine. As the fire started
Immediately after the engine had passed.
as there was no other apparent cause for
the starting OF fire and as the defend
ant failed TO show any other cause OF
the fire. the jury's verdict IL reason
able one and must stand.
