% HAT old adage, Tt takes a thief to N catch a thief" has been tried and V found wanting.

SPARE THE ROD.

In the good old days the village schoolmaster
used to gain the confidence of the villagers and
the respect of his pupils by generous sometimes
perhaps, too generous-ap application of a birch rod
or hickory ruler. The welder of the rod did not
always exercise wise discrimination in it's appli-
cation; he did not recognize the high fnancier in
the youth whose arithmetic was faulty, and the boy
who spelled like the word sounded was a genera
ton or two ahead of his time. The results of the
schoolmaster's efforts to impart knowledge by
of force were not altogether satisfactory, so
the paddle was discredited and discarded long ago.
But when the birch went out of the scheme of edu-
cation, the obvious fact lost sight of that a
sound thrashing has certain disciplinary effects
upon the youthful recipient which no other method
of suasion has displaced. Boys will be boys, and
they will, some of them, be bad boys, if they are
not held In check and it that corporal pun
ishment is about the only effective method which
will render them amenable to the rules and laws
laid down for their guidance In recognition of
this fact and the growing laxity of discipline in
the public schools of New York City, the board of
education has passed ruling that corporal pun
ishment may be inflicted but "only in extreme
cases and after the parents permission has been
secured" When the ruling was left to a vote of the
school principals, they stood 209 to 101 in its
favor
In the use of the rod we seem to have had the
two extremes, and drifting unconsciously
into the happy mean. The old time schoolmaster
tried to pound the three Rs into the youngster
with rod; the later extremists tried to teach
obedience and maintain discipline without the rod,
Now the incorrigibles receive such necessary
thrashngs will guarantee decent respect for
the rights of their schoolmates their teachers and
for the laws and rules of the school In the mat
ter of conduct, the result will be watched with in
terest by those whose work is in any way asso-
cated with the training of the young idea

Episcopal bishop of New York never heard Like
Brutus, the bishop is IAN honorable man." and we
have not the right to doubt the accuracy of his
statement. Still, if the bishops deafness be moi
beyond human aid he should consult an aurist, or
possibly he may not, on the Day of Judgment,
hear the invitation of Our Lord to ''the Blessed of
my Father" to center into the Joy of the Lord" 1t
is passing strange that the Right Rev Father in
God could hear and accept invitation to assist
at the opening of a saloon hotel in his own city
and yet not hear of the~ Lamp" or its editor, who
is doing much IN his own or neighboring do
cese to save the tottering building which gives
spiritual shelter the bishop, from crashing into
the Unitarian and hereticaI homes around him.
And now, it may be asked why Father Paul and
the7,000 within the Episcopal church who have not
fallen down before the statue of Baa do not follow
TO its logical end the guiding principle embodied
in the motto of the Lamp THAT we all may
be one" Why do they not enter into the Ark, the
Holy Roman church. mother of all churches and
of all the faithful, the church God has chosen to
unite his children in the same faith and in the
charity and in the same oneness! We do not
know. We can only repeat with st. Paul For
what man knoweth the things of a man, but the
spirit of man that is in him! So the things also
that are of God, no man knoweth, but the spirit
of God" Why Manning, Newman, Frederick Oak
ley, Faber. Dalgairns and so many others of the
Anglican church entered the Ark of the Covenant,
and Hurrel, Froude, Keble Pussy WHEREFORE and
their companions of unblemished lives and vast
learning, paused at the gangplank and turned aside
is to us mystery. The spirit of God breathed
where he wills and it is not for to search the
inscrutable Of the good faith, the honesty, the
clean lives of men like Father Paul we harbor no
doubt But they not welcome where they are;
they disturb the spiritual sleep of their religious
brothers, but do not wake them, and, may we say
reverently, cannot. We have said that Father Paul
has entered the road of perfection, May we re
mind him that the road ends at the Vatican!

INDICATED.

When the dangerous alarm clock goes off early
IN the morning to arouse from Sleep the
desire to roll over and have one more snooze before
springing from bed is well-nigh universal 1t is
so, at least, among the male members of the hui
man race. The desire of boy to lie abed after
being called is usually attributed to his general
cuSsedness; that of man to innate laziness. The
knowledge that this peculiarly of the genus homo
should be the subject of scientific research will be
received with pleasure among all those who have
felt the strong inclination to take one more nap
before taking up the burdens of the day. That the
result of the scientific research should be the dis
covery of deep psychological reason for the pc
cullar Discrimination to arise is gratifying indeed
to all who turn OUT only after several untimely
warnings,
Dr. Savary of Paris who, are assured is
very noted and well-known physician and psychol-
oglst has issued warning against getting up in
hurry lie says the man who jumps out of bed
as soon as he awakes is committing sin against
health and endangering his sanity Though this is
the first time DR.. Savary of Paris has come to our
notice, the rare intellectual attachments of the
doctor are at once recognized. We have known for
many years that there was some pathological fact
behind the instinct to lie abed and the discovery
by DR.. Savary of Paris is complete vindication
of our knowledge. In the discovery, too, there is
a vndlcatlon OF the instinct which for thousands
of years has guided the human race Those know
ing ones who tell us the lark is up to meet the
and the early bird catches the worm must
henceforth and forever hold their peace or be eter
nally consigned to that inferority which is so
plainly their due. Instinct and scientific knowl-
edge are against them, and in obedience to that
instinct, reinforced by the scientific discovery of
Dr. Savary of Paris, shall defy insanity and
insure health for ourselves by continuing to get
up only after repeated warnings that we will be
late if we don't hurry.

whether caused by mince pie (and do not for
moment concede the point if the genuine article is
meant) or other overindulgence, is a weighty
theme. But nasmuch the statement joined al
coholic stimulants with mince pie before a com
mittee of congress considering bill to regulate IN
terstate commerce in deleterous articles of food
the relative merits of the pie of commerce and the
whisky of commerce are brought before the Ameri
can people for consideration. Whether the traf-
fc in these things should be regulated is the issue
before congress. The answer is plainly told in
the statement of the proposition The original
package pie causes indigestion and alcoholic slim
ulants produce drunkenness and indigestion and
drunkenness prolific causes of crime That
which causes crime and congests the jais is
worthy of any national legislation which tends to
discourage or to prevent interstate commerce in it.
But in the general condemnation of the home
wrecking mnce pie, broad distinction should be
made in favor of the genuine article, whose odor
excites to pleasurable anticipation, which is not
dissipated by the realization of eating.

PIE AGAIN.

There appeared before a congressional com
mittee last week an ingenious disputant who sol
EMMY asseverated his belief that the indigestion
which follows overindulgence in mince pie is as
potent cause of crime as the drunkenness which
follows overindugenee in alcoholic stimulants
Just how the defamer of the festive mince pie ar
rived at such belief-or that it is in any case an
inducer of dyspepsia-is expainable only on the
hypothesis that he ate even small portion
of mince pie like mother used to make" His
experience with mince pies must be confined sole
ly to those brands which come in packages and
which have no resemblance to the genuine article
made of cider and apples and rasins and meat
and other things known only to mother. and
piece of which, set steaming before youth whose
appetite had been satisfied with turkey and mashed
potatoes, so tempted the palate that nought but
inability to hold more prevented him asking for
another piece. But all this seems foreign to the
question raised by the assertion of the gentleman
concerning the relative causes of crime of mince-
pie indigestion and the intoxication of alcoholic
stimulants.

1t may still be pointed out as a significant fact
that murders in Utah nearly always intimately
associated with saloons That foul murder in
Price last week occurred just outside of saloon
and the connection with it is so close that every
body may see it. The proprietor of the saloon
where murderer gets bad liquor which leads hin
into crime seems almost like an accessory before
