Per Annum in Advance.
Whippins Mchooln.
It is easy to see that corporal punish
ment in schools will soon become a thing
of the past.
At the recent National Educational
convention in Minneapolis, where thou
sands of teachers were gathered from all
parts of the country, this subject was
freely discussed. Whipping in schools
found very few advocates, and it was
clear that an overwhelming majority of
the teachers present were opposed to it.
One of the most pronounced opponents
of the system is Dr. Wm. T. Harris, Uni
ted States commissioner of education.
He rejoices in the general disuse of the
rod in our schools and declares that the
abandonment of corporal punishment
and physical coercion is the greatest ed
ucational reform that has occurred in
forty years.
There are few cities in the United
States now where corporal punishment
in the public schools is permitted and
few pprents are willing to send their
children to private schools where they
are liable to be lashed. Public opinion
has set so strongly against corporal pun
ishment in schools that in almost every
instance of its application there is a pro
test on the part of parents or guardians.
Many teachers who were formerly ar
dent advocates of corporal punishment
and have abandoned it, testify that their
new method has produced more satis
factory results than the application of
the rod.
Os course it will take some time to
convince all teachers and communities
that discipline may be maintained better
by throwing the rod aside than by using
it, but the trend is going steadily and
rapidly in that direction. —Atlanta Jour
nal.
■low io Prevent Pneumonia.
At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know of
no better remedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. We
have used it quite extensively and it has
always given entire satisfaction.—Oola
gah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be a certain preventive of pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have
used it for colds and la grippe we have
never yet learned of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia. Persons who
have weak lungs or have reason to fear
an attack of pneumonia should keep the
remedy at hand. The 25 and 50 cent

Don’t be persuaded into buying lini
ments without reputation or merit—
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm costs no more,
and its merits have been proven by a
test of many years. Such letters as the
following from L. G. Bagley, Huencme,
Cal., are constantly being received: “The
best remedy for pain I have ever used is
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and I say so
after having used it in my family for sev
eral years.” It cures rheumatism, lame
back, sprains and swellings. For sale

SOME AFRICAN MONEY.
It Consists of Slaves, With Babies and
Children For Small Change.
Any recital of recent currency experi
ences would be imperfect that failed to
call attention to certain anomalous fis
cal troubles that have lately befallen the
people of one of the negro states of west
ern Africa, and which have not yet
passed into history to an extent that
they merit.
As is well known, the governments
of the leading states of Europe, with
a view of increasing their commer
cial advantages through the acquire
ment of netv markets, have, within a
comparatively recent period, greatly in
creased their territorial domains and
government in and over what is regard
ed as uncivilized Africa. Thus the Brit
ish government is rapidly occupying a
vast tract of territory geographically
known as Nigrita. from the circum
stance that it is traversed by, or is con
tiguous to, the ancient and once myste
rious river Niger; and one of the Nigri
tian kingdoms that has most recently,
and after considerable fighting, passed
•under Brifish rule and. European ideas
and., enterprise, is that of Nupe, which
through a considerable Arab population
is to an extent a commercial country—
and to whom the advent of the English
was probably not unwelcome. The cur
rency of this kingdom and its popula
tion was mainly slaves, with, inferen
tial!?; si”;'' bab’-'s and children serving
as subsidiary money media.
It might also perhaps be inferred
that white babies would be considered
a counterfeit circulating medium and
octoroons bimetallic. The carrying round
of two or three babies to make change
would certainly be rather difficult, and
when they cried it might be regarded as
on account of inflation. But anyway a
serious financial difficulty is reported
to be impending in Nupe; for as the
British government does not sanction
or tolerate slavery the interesting ques
tion has naturally arisen, What are the
people of Nupe going to do for money,
or rather for currency? Will a party
arise, as in the United States, who will
manfully contend for the mAiiitenanee
of the “dollar of their fathers?’ ’ Will
not some “Nupean” Bryan set forth in
fitting language the wickedness of the /'
demonetization of former Nupean cur- \
rency? >
What better use can Senator Tel
ler make of his disquisition on the
benefits that accrued to the ancient
Spartans, when they substituted iron
money in place of their former cattle,
cow and pig currency, than to send a
large number of copies of it for general
distribution on the banks of the Niger?
How the heart of ex-Senator Peffer of
Kansas must rejoice at the historical
vindication of his axiomatic financial
principle that “it matters not of what
money is made or what its intrinsic
value is!”
Would it not be the part of wis
dom for President McKinley to in
struct his monetary missionaries, after
they have got through with their search
in 'Europe for information about cm>- —
roiMT around Africa,
journey to . 9 the/
Nupe and learn frtaQvthe *- P
opinions as to the effect ™
contingent on a successfnP'lf. .<nunt;
and also whether their former kioney
had not much to commend it by reason
of its remarkable properties for (leg)
circulation? It certainly could not have
staid long in one place without watch
ing.—David A. Wells in Harper’s
Weekly.
Ctaaket Too l.arge For Hearne.
San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 14. Mrs.
Theresa Cardoza, a well-known resident
of this city, who died on Saturday, was
buried yesterday in the Italian cemetery.
She weighed over GOO pounds and the
undertaker had to break down the stairs
of her late residence in order to lower
the body into tbe hall. A special casket,
bound with iron, was constructed for tbe
remains, and as it was too large for any
hearse in the city, it was taken to the
cemetery in a heavy express wagon.
Mrs. Cardoza had been married twice
and leaves five children, the youngest
being eighteen months old.
By the old Saxon law a maiden and a
widow were of different value. The lat
ter could be bought for one half tbe sum
which the guardian of a maid was entitled
to demand. A man, therefore, who
could not afford to buy a maiden might
•erhaps be able to purchase a widow.

The following is a copy of a sign in a
remote Georgia county: “A Few Bright
Scholards Takin to Lem Writin, Spailen
an Figgers.”
A traveler, noticing the sign, asked
the principal There he had graduated.
The principal pointed to a cotton field
near by and said, “Right over thar, sir,
behind a Georgia mule, under a July
sun.”
A Kansas paper boasts that a recent
ball in that State was attended by two or
three hundred people, none of whom
wore a dress suit, and yet all had a good
time. Perhaps so; similar affairs in
which dress suits do not figure no doubt
occur in the Fiji Islands and the land of
the Hottentot.
Finny Mianieae Twim. «
There are two catfishes joined for life
in a Siamese-twin fashion. They were
caught at the mouth of the Cape Fear
river, in North Carolina.
The skin which joined the fishes on the
breast was not particularly different
from that on their bodies. It was so
flexible that the fishes could swim to
gether in the natural position. One of
them was much larger than the other—a
fact which must have had its disadvan
tages for the little one.
The total expense of the investigation
of judges last year, including all the ex
penses of both the sessions of tbe com
mittee and the special sessions of the
house, amounts to $10,098.49.
