This is an interesting question which has been brought up by the New York state commission of prisons in its an Ul"" a ue commission reports hi me startling hgures ; out of 102,f81 committments for the year just closed, of the persons committed were to jails and 3,G15 to the penitentiary j tor the single offense of drunkenness On these figures the commission bases some very pertinent remarks and rec ommends that the law should devise some other means for dealing with inebriates. T" fo 11 rvi inning it i .1 .... wuii1OTn,u argues mat mere is no element of malice in the offense of drunkenness, that habitual drunken ness results from mental weakness and that the treatment should be similar to other cases of abberration. There is a difference between the man who can not control his appetite, argues the commission, and the man who wilfully and maliciously commits an offense against the person or property of an- othtT. The law should rpcnwnio tho iistinction, thinks the commission, and it s recommends. The question which is thus raised is an interesting one, interesting not only 111 New Yurk but pvprnrlioro fr - . . v . .

About every quarter you may see where some New York school teacher enters special pleadings to his board of trustees for permission to spank some unruly boys in his school. Sometimes the trustees say yes and eometime no But the very fact that the matter submitted to these officers at all is a guarantee that this trouble will con tiuue. There used to be in this State a code of ethics for the adjustment of this particular matter, which is far better than the New .York plan. We venture to say now, iu thij 20th cen tury of culture and great progress, that the pity is this good unwritten law has ever been overruled. The first Mon- day in August was when we used to start the school, after the crop was laid by, the wheat threshed and the turnips sowed. We were in a hurry to get off, for then we had to stop when fodder was rie. So if the teacher did not give "todder time the boys of the family were out that much, for they al ways had to stop and pull fodder, whether school kept or not. When the dinner basket was all fixed, the books ftnd slate we had no tablets then the last pirting injunction was: "If you get a whipping I'll give you another when you get home." This may sound a little harsh' now. but that it was a trouble saver, both to the boys and to the teacher, does not admit of a doubt. It meant to the bov that therp was no court of appeal, and at the same time it was a suggestion of the co-operation of teacher and parent, which is so necessary to the successful administration of a school. Nobody expects New York parents to do this; in facs, nobody expect arents any where to follow this barbarous (".') cus tom, but if there could be some sug gestion of students that teachers are master of the situation, it would be better for schools and for teachers.

One day, at last, the sufferer owned that he was in love. "Well marry her," said the chief. "Oh but," here the young man near ly broke down, "she belongs to one of the leet families in the town the par ents will never consent." "1'ooh! Your position is good, your name fionorable; they won't refuse. I will demand the girl for you. Does she love you?" "Yes, but it's no use; ber parents won't listen." " ell men elope with her. Do I know the girl!" "Yes; she will be at your ball next Tuesday." "Now, listen to me," said the em ployer. "Leave the ball quietly with her. Joseph, my coachman, will wait iur y ou at me uoor ana drive you to the station. He will ask you no ques tions. When you are out of the way I will see the father and settle everything for you." "Is that really your advice?" glee fully exclaimed the youth. "Do you want me to do it?" 1 es, 1 command you to do it. Now cheer up." The next day the clerk proposed the plan to his sweetheart, who made some objections at first, but, overcome by his reasons, she said at last: "Well, if he really means it, I must obey."

T I . 1 , ine next aay ne wrote: "Come back; all will be forgiven." Atlanta Constitution. Congress has of late years concerned itself with the preservation of forests and other works of nature against the steady inroada of material progress and commercial vandalism. In this line, the pending bill to prevent the de struction of the few remaining giant redwoods of California by lumbermen is interesting. These Titans of the forests are well worth the respect of even our modem commercialism. One fine secimen re cently felled on the Pacific slope was pronounced by scientists to be 2 171 years old, and yet it was perfectly sound and had for unknown centuries held its proud head to the blasts at a he'ght of 300 feet above the ground. ccording to what science read on its prostrate trunk, this monster tree began its existence in 271, B. C. In 245 A. D. it passed through a great fire, and 10o years were consumed in heal ing the burn. For l,19o years the great tree grew peacefully. No man may tell what happened beneath its mighty limbs. Nations were born and died while the Sequoia drank the rains and breathed the sunshine and added slowly to its stature. In 1441 there was another tire and! oj years were required to hide the scars. In loSO came another burn, which was healed i (.'7, when the giant had passed the age of twenty centuries, there came a tremendous forest tire, burning a sear feet wide. When the tree was felled in l'.HXj the width of the scr had been decreased to 14 feet. In each of the three older burns the wouuds were fully covered, and the new tissue above was even and continuous. Surely such a record were enough to give pigmy man pause in his vandalism and set hii to moralizing the ooen book of nature. A living thi ilP fin vpn. o r --- erable has the right to continued life, and its destruction seems worse than sacrilege in nature's temple. The idea may be sentimental, but public sentiment approves of the pre servation of the California redwoods. Number 57. HORSE HEN!
