Spare the rod and spoil the child, is a proverb often quoted, and undoubted ly it many times turns the scales in fa vor of a “whipping” in the mind doubt ful if that is just the punishment need ed. One may abstractly believe in cor poral punishment, but when it is put in nractice, our having the real welfare of a child in view cannot be satisfied with the result of such discipline. Do we want a child to obey because st must, or through love and trust? A great step is gained when a child is assured that its own good is always the object of our discipline. Will a child believe this when a blow is struck? A blow is al most always the result of impatience if not anger. Jean Paul says “Parents and teachers would more frequently punish according to the line of exact justice, if, after every fault in a child, they would only count four and twenty, 1 or their buttons, or their fingers. ” When a child is struck by a mate it strikes back; it is at once angry. The child is I afraid to strike a parent, but the feeling with which it could be done is arousea and nothing but the superior strength of the parent subdues the child, and be cause it gets no relief from striking back the anger aroused is all the more dan gerous; it reacts on the child and each time it occurs gives another chance to , develop a set of feelings that bad much better not be aroused at all. Inharmo I nious conditions between parent and of a child's child will stunt the growth [ nature, and there w rill come a time in the future when the chasm between parent and child will be too broad to Dridge over, all because of careless and injudicious treatment, begun when the child was nothing but a bit of soft clay and could have been so easily moulded if we could only have looked ahead and seen what was to be the consequence. A youug child is a mass of possibilities. Much depends upon the conditions of development There is a decided, latent brutal force foree in every child, and it is to this that we appeal when we resort to corporal punishment. The sense of shame is deadened in a child that is punished with a whip, and then he is an easy prey to the vices that are around him. Felix Adler goes so far as to say in one of his recent sermons to parents, that if whipping was forbidden by law, there would be a large decrease in our criminal classes in the next generation. It is strange, but can be proved by sol diers, hunters, by incidents in the French revolution, and by the treatment of slaves, that wrathful cruelty can be fanned into pleasurable sensation. As it is an assured fact that this cruelty exists in human nature, is it not a posi tive wrong to do anything to develop it? Is it not better to avoid all chance of its being made a prominent feature in the character?— Hone Dalton, in (Jood- Housekeeping. pyThe Taylor System of Catting and Fit ting employed. “Mamma, what’s hereditary?” asked Bobby, laboriously tripping over the Third street, Next to Bishop A Kay’s store , syllables of the long word. “Why, it is McMinnville.

When a diamond merchant speaks of a gem he means something in which there is uo fault or flaw, no im- yerfection of color, shape or cut The ifference between a gem and a dia mond may be as wide as that between a ’plug’ horse and a thoroughbred racer. One stone may be worth 830, aud auother of exactly the same size I may be worth f 100, or even more. Not one person in a thousand can tell agem from a fairly good stone. The weight, also, is small index to the size of a dia mond as it appears iu a setting. A karat stone may appear as small as this—o— or it may be nearly twice as great in circumference, like thia—O. A gem must be cut so correctly that a hair's- breadth is far too wide to measure the filane of the different facets by. Every acet must be of precisely the same size as every other facet of like position. Its angle, too, must be geometrically cor rect The glory of a diamond is its re fractive power. Without light the dia mond is as useless as a pretty picture, though it is a very common belief among people who have never handled diamonds that the stones have light in .U ----- I----------- - them --- ------------- themselves, mating brilliant even in complete darkness. Another com mon error is that the diamond cannot I be broken or injured, and 1 have known of fine stones being ruined by foolish persons who hit them with hammers in an effort to illustrate the hardness of their gems. The diamond is very brit tle and is easily injured bv a slight blow or fall. Diamonds will burn, too, under a heat sufficient to melt bar iron. They are nothing but pure carbon, and they may be reduced to graphite and finally to carbouic acid gas. The purest stones are highly transparent and col orless, but more generally there is some tint, like white or gray. Brown, blue, green, yellow and red are very rare, while black is met with once in a life time. In all my experience I have seen but two blaelf diamonds. John Rice, of the Tremont House, owns one of them. The other is in New York.”— Chicago Herald. The Pink and White Terraces, whioh were ruined by the recent vulcanic eruption, were regarded as the greatest natural curiosities in New Zealand. Froude and Sala have described their beauties in recent publications. The terraces were of pink and white crystal, over which the water flowed, forming a •cries of cascades. Senator Jones, of Florida, who an swered to roll-call in Detroit during the entire session of Congress, drew his salary with notable regularity, collect ing it the fourth day of every month through a Detroit bank. He still draws it, although he declares, it is said, that he will never return either to the Senate or to the State from which he was sent to the Itonata. He refuses to resign and has opened a law office in Detroit. The sweet pea is now fashionable.

In 1881, in the Sagadahoc County court, held in the oily of Bath, Me., a case for assault and battery came up for trial: Mrs. O. vs. Mr O.; Judge G. for plaintiffand Lawyer L. for defend« ant Mr. O., by the way, kept a gro cery store in a small country town, also the postoffioe in his dining-room and sitting-room. Mrs. O- had testified that Mr. O. had I lushed her with such violence that she ell from a platform to the ground and injured her side in consequence of the fall, etc. When Mr. O. came upon the stand he swore that Mrs. O. first pushed him. As Judge G. rose to begin the cross- examination of the defendant Mr. O. braoed up with an evident determina tion that*the lawyer should nut “brow* beat” him. Judge G. Mr. O., what is your bust* ness or profession? Mr. O. —I am a merchant, sir, and a government officer, sir.

Mr. O.—No, sir. 1 said that I push ed her, and she fell down. But first •be pushed me. Judge G.— How hard did aha push you? Mr. O —She pushed me as hard aa 1 pushed her, sir. Judge G-—Did you lose your equili brium when she pushed you? Mr. O.—-No» sir, 1 did not lose my equilibrium. 1 had no equilibrium to lose, for 1 never had any, sir [very em phatic]; and 1 don’t think that you aa a lawyer hgve any fight to ask me any such questions, sir.
