GAMING The CyLPRlT.
The Marks ~ Leaves Look Worse Than
the Whaling Feels.

In London police court recently a
teacher ia q public school was prose
cuted for assaulting a pupil by Gaming
him. The magistrate decided that he
had not used undue violence and there
fore discharged the master.
In thi, case the father of the boy
who had been caned took him to a
physician on the evening Of the day
Of his castigation and this doctor found
about fifteen wheals on the lads back.
This was evidence of severe punish
ment, but the magistrate considered it
was not too severe for the offense
which had caused il, and said that
parents had formed an exaggerated
opinion Of the amount Of force that
had been used.
Commenting on this the London Ian
Get says
"A blow from a cane causes at the
time an appreciate amount of pain
(Which. by the way, is what it is in
tended TO do. but it leaves behind a
mark quite out Of proportion in its
formidable character to the amount of
suffering which it causes after the first
sting has been endured If any one
doubts this. having perhaps avoided
the opportunity to observe it in the
course Of an exemplary boyhood, the
experiment is easily made. Any small
boy will be willing to do his share by
inficting upon the seeker after truth
a sharp cut or two, the results of
which viii no doubt be distinctly felt
for Il time, but only for about an hour
while there viii be visible on the well
protected and tender skin of the back
fos some days wheals which would
harrow the heart Of any mother"
In other words, boys back after a
Gaming looks far worse than it feels.

Ia correct, the American farmer, man
for man. produces twice as much as the
farmer OF Europe, and in doing SO he
takes four or five times the area on
which to do it. American methods are
modern than those of Europe, accord
ing to the Congressman, who finds that
in the countri es across the sea the
whole family labors in the field, and
thus Europe has the peasant farmer,

not court.

DE 40 PRIEST WAS
 IDEAL CLERGY MAN
9Conmunicated. )

Tn the death of F'r. McElroy, an ideal priest is removed from the ranks of the Catholic clergy of this diocese In applying to him the term an exaggerated or superlative tribute. He possessed in a full measure the qualities which combine to make the true minister of God. In the first founded on a basis of sterling char acter. He was endowed with the finest natural traits He was scru- pulously honest with himself and his fellow men. The purest aspirations always actuated his conduct.
 In his student days. he applied him self to the work of preparing for the priesthood with the intense devotion and zeal, which have distinguished his work since his ordination. As a can didate for the ministry, he showed marked ability in his college and only a profound and accurate knowI- edge of the doctrines and philosophy of his religion, but supplemented that with a broad and liberal education. He was man of wide and general reading and of scholarly attainments.
 But it was in his loyal and self sac rificing service to his religion and to the congregation to which he was called to minister, that his most eff fective work was accomplished The spiritual welfare of his flock was the thought ever uppermost in his mind. That was the goal toward which has activities were directed.
 No Thought of Self.
 He had no thought for. his own in- divfdua1 comfort or for his own ma teriaI welfare He fully realized that as a chosen and ardent servant of God, the spiritual needs of humanity were to be the object of his care and solic1tude and no selfish considera-
