Would Restore the Rod.

Corporal punishment in the schools
of New York was abolished more than
thirty years ago-to be exact, in 1870.
After this long disuse, the Globe says.
a powerful movement has been started
for its restoration. No less than eigh-
ty-seven of the principals of New
York have Joined in an appeal to the
Board OF Education for the right to re-
establish the old method of enforcing
discipline and intoxicating in the youth
full mind a love of learning.
Since the prohibition of the rod the
only permitted ways of enforcing dis
cipline have been by censure, marks
complaint to parents or transfer to
truant schools. The principals, or the
great majority of them, say that for re-
fractory pupils this punishment is not
sufficiently biting. They want author
ity to play upon physical fear as a mo-
tive controlling conduct. They point
out that in many of the homes from
which pupils come the rod, the slipper
and the hand are diligently employed
to stimulate obedience to and respect
for parents.

THREE WORDS OF VALUE.
They Cost a Railroad $4,000 and
Were Cheap at That.

1t has been said on good authority
that the highest price ever paid Tor
a writing was given a lawyer in this
immediate vicinity, says the Pniladel-
phia North American. A certain rail-
road company had lost enormous sums
of money through damage suits insti-
tuted by those injured in grade-cross-
ing accidents. This company had
been most particular in the matter OF
erecting signs at each crossing, but
jury after jury decided that these
were of small moment, since the
warning they conveyed was to look
out for the cars" or "look out for the
engine" and in almost every instance
it was conclusively proved that the
damage was caused by that part of
the train not mentioned. So in des-
peration the railroad commissioned a
lawyer of wide depute to compose a
sign that would hold" in court. After
some days the following sentence,
written on large sheet of paper,
came from the man learned in the
law:
"Stop! Look! Listen!"
Following this came a bill for $10,-
900. So when you hear some long
tongued individual boasting about a
dollar a word Mr.. Kipling gets, or the
surprising sum paid Richard Harding
Davis Tor articles describing the war
he didn't see, dismiss the being as a
dealer in ant.hills, for the lawyer
aforementioned got a check for the
amount named, and SO far as history
enlightens us, no one ever before re
ceived so much as $4,000 word.
Before the end of year the lawyer
was informed by the president of the
road that the new sign had saved
many times its cost

Heiress Fine Candy Maker.

IN the slightly improbable event that
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, already pop.
ular among New Yorl's debutantes of

an impecunious condition, she would
be able to make a fair living as
bonbon cook. Every school girl can
make taffy of course, but the Wander.

rudimentary affair She is learned in
the construction of nougats, cream al
monds, chocolate creams, caramels and
even candied fruits, all of which she
is able to manufacture with the skill
of a French confectioner. And she
delights in preparing such CONNECTIONS,
the result being that her chums revel
in all sorts of toothsome things with
out squandering their allowances in
sweetshops.

With sitting heat, heaving it up in sleep.
And waking me to weep
Tears that had melted his soft heart;

Merciful God! such was his latest prayer,
These may she never share,
Quieter is his breath, his breast more

Pe- ma.

DR. LLEWELLYN JORDAN, Medi-
cal Examiner of the U. S. Treas
ury Department, graduate of Co.
lumbia College. and who served three
years at West Point, has the follow
ing to say of Peruna:
"AYow me to express my grail
fude to you for the benefit derived
from your wonderful remedy.
One short month has brought
forth a vast change and i now
consider myself q well man after
months of suffering. Fellow suf-
ferers, Peruna Will euro you."
A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven its merits so
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against So
called patent medicines and recon-
mend it to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position
in medical science. 1t is the only in
ternal systemic catarrh remedy
known to the medical profession to-
day. Catarrh, as everyone will admit,
is the cause of one-half the diseases
which affiict mankind. Catarrh and
catarrhal diseases affiict one-half of
the people of United States.
