The Marks It Lsaves Look Worse Than
the Whaling Feels.
In a London police court recently a
teacher in a public school was pros^-
cute^ for assaulting a pupil by caning
him. The magistrate decided, that h«
had not used undue violence and there*
fore discharged the master.
In this case the fatfier of the boy
who had been caned took him to a
physician on the evening of the day
of hiS’Castii^ation and this doctor found
fttHMit fifteen wheals ou the lad's back.
This was evidence of severe punish
ment, but the magistrate considered it
was not too severe for the oflTetise
which had caused It. and said that
parents had formed an exaggerated
opinion of the amount of force that
had been used.
Commenting on this the Loudon I..aii-
cet says:
*‘A blow from a cane causes at the
time an appreciable amount of pai6
(which, by the way. Is what it Is in
tended to do), but it leaves behind a
marie quite out of proportion in its
formidable character to the amount of
suffering which it causes after the first
Sting has been endured. If auy one
doubts this, having perhaps avoided
the opportunity to ol>serve It in the
course of an exemplary boyhood, the
experiment is easily made. Any small
boy will be willing to do his share by
inflicting upon the seeker after truth
a sharp cut or two. the results of
which will no doubt be distinctly fett
for a time, but only for about an hour,
while there will be visible on the well
protected and tender skin of the back
for some days wheals which would
harrow th© heart of any mother.”
In other words, a boy's back after a
caning looks far worse than it feels.
HARDY TUSCAN WOMEN.
One Vigoroue Old Dame Who Acted a«
a Mountain Guide.
Illustrative of the hardiness of wo
men in Tuscany, Sir Francis Vane re
lates in ‘‘Walks and People In Tus
cany” the experiences of two Eng
lishmen who were traveling ia Ital^
and who appealed to a village imlKeep-
•r for a trustworthy guide to cMidiict
them over the pass between the aaoun-
tains of Rondinajo and Tre Potenze.
To their surprise an old wemafk ap
peared and announced that she bad
come to make arrangements for the
Journey. They concluded she must be
the mother of their guide.
"What was our amazement to learn
that this elderly dame was our destin
ed leader, and indeed she was got up
for the fray In long boots and short
skirts.
‘‘On we tramped, she always ahead,
walking with a fine military swing
which a lifeguardsman might have en
vied. The path was difiicult and could
not be used by vehicles. Our guidie
led us up the steep way which follows
a smailv and rushing stream issuing
from out the side of Rondinajo, and up
it we ascended for an hour or more
until the pass was reached.
“We here had the merciful iatentioB
of sending the old woman back, an
intention, however, she very strongly
opposed. It was only by alio whig hec
to come fiosae few miles farter ou that
we could induce her to leave us before
■be had seen us safely to th» end of
the Journey.'’
