The heavy rains the latter part
of last week caused the rivers to

the river is now down almost with

Old writers In mentioning birch trees
seldom failed to say solcmnly that they
were useful to grow branches with
which to give boys thrashings. Turner
regards the supply of flexible. pendent
branches" for purposes of punishment
rs the chief merit OF the tree. Coles
also based his estimate OF the birch
chiefly OH Its use in the supply OF rods
as instruments OF punishment, for he
writes: The civil uses whereunto the
birch scrvcth are many. as for the pun
ishment of children. both ut home and
Mt school; for II hath nm admirable in
i!uence upon them TO quiet them when
they arc out OF order, and therefore
some call it maliepeace." In ancient
Rome the fasccs OF the l~ictors. with
which they cleared the way for maGis-
tratcs. were formed with rods OF birch.
and their influence was sufficient to In

saying that to carry ont the plans 81 the

the navy Is everything and the naval
board has run too much in the direction

the naval officers are like the farmers
who want to raise the biggest pump

Germany to excel the United States.
or course, the naval officer wants the
biggest navy in the world, but why
should the taxpayers submit to such
a scheme?
