AN EPIDEMIC OF

MURDER,

(Quebec Telegraph.) W hat is coming over the country? Hardly a day passes of inte that the community is

nt startled and borrified by the news of some fresh murder, suicide, or other ter- ribie deed of blood and crime from which civilized humanity revolts. That we are just sow passing through an era or epi- demic of murder 1s as unquestionable as that this Province, hitherto so mortal, co.paratively speaking, and so happil? free room there awful tragedies, is now

hav »g more than its usual share of them, and tast acquiring an unenviable repu- tation for bloodthirstiness and sav- agtrv. To what are we to attribute this melancholy state of tuing-? Force of ex- ample on weak or brutish minds, the grow ing irreligiousness of the age, or the want of proper educational facilities and advantages among the masses? We are not prepared to say which, but it ie very probable that all these causes have been more or less contributory .o the present murderous aod deplorable ontbreak at dittrent poists of the countrs. The Raw. butchery, the murders ai St. Lidoire and St. Canut, the frqnent e#ui- Ciles, and the myrterious disappearance, if not murder, of a prominent Montreal capitalist named Lewis, are all so many start! og eviuences ofa growing disregard for the ranctity of bumea life, which urgently calls for the most serious cousiieration by all thoughitul minds, and the prompt application of the sharpest

To soothe @ nervous, excitable child by work iv generally considered uowise and uns. entific, while some ardent child-lovers go yet farther aod call it downright cruelty. Bu: tv one who has studied child nature thoulitfally and continuously the idea becomes @ reality, oot an alarming theory, aud « f.ct which has been too of.en over - looked by tender parents. The adult is but «a child of lurger growth, and the ttate of mind of the average man when kept #t home, awzy from his work, but illustrates the point. Ob dear! [am just worn out,” said a wife to me. “John’s offi e wa~ closed to-day becanse there was adesth in the firm’s family, and he’s teen athome. He is so restless and fussy th. i just ures meup. He fixed up a tew | wie things about the house, read hie pap-r, and then he did not kaow what to du wih him-elf, and I did not either. He scol‘ed the children, snapped the cook, and set things generally. I jost dread these dave. Hie wheel is being repsired or 1 wouidn’t bave Leen so bad,” sighed luc weary woman.

A~ witb the rertie«s man so it is with tie child in a lesser degree. Pay all the if .« anid nothing else but play unsettles him « «i keeps him in @ state Of nervous ex- vitemeat, The play c.n be chaoged with the thouzht lett as soon as beguu, and the nervous energy flows off like the current of « loowe eleciric wire. Coildren are ed- ucatd by wholesome habite, not by rewards aud pusishmeats, and one of the tirst and most healtbful of habits is that of se.f-contrul and the power of concentra- tion. When au exc-tabie child bas noth- ing more tu du all day long than play, tue litle fancy snd imagination spend them- selve- in ceaseleses change. But if a little real work be given, the tiny miod mast hold itself steady in order to accomplish tie task, and during the brief period the overstrained wuerves get a rest. To ie sure, the nerves ure iu use whise the little task is under way, bat the slight sustained effort has a tonic tfturt. Other faculties have a chance to cume into play, which gives the balance which purposeless play cannot give. The ambition is stirred, the mind is steadied, contivuity of purpose begins, and the ex- citable pature gets # short period of actual cain.

“Bat,” eays an alarmist, “you would not tave a siender child like mine do any work? Thedoctor sayeI mu-t let her run wild till she gets « strong body, and then she will learo fast enough.”

Yee, I du mean that just such children

In London, which is not only the lar- gest city in the wor'd but one of the best governed, they are preparing to atil'ze the heat produced by the street lamps. It is estimated that heat wasted by the London street lamps, if turned to practical ac -ount, would furnieh 120,000,000 gallons of boil- ing water a year,or about 125 gallons a lamp daily, without any additional cost except the expense of putting up the apparatus. A copper reservoir of ornamental design 6 accordingly being placed at the top of the street lamp, which adds to rather than de~ tracts from its appearance. This hangs aboat one foot above the gas jet, sv that it receives all the heat, and ie large enough to hold four gallons of water. Two pipes connect the reservoir with the pavement. Oneof them taps the water main and the other furnishes an escape for the overflow into the sewer. ing a ha’penny into the slot a vaive opened and a gallon of hot water i released, which can be drawo off by turn- ing a key of the faucet.

geois, the three- year-old son of Mr. Albert Bourgeois, of the I C. K., wax the victim of a shooting accident at his home on Low- er Robinson street on Saturday. The little fellow accompanied by a girl named White, a few months his senior, whose parents live upatairs, went upto the attic of nis father’s house, and while rummag- ing around the girl found a revolver which turned out to be loaded. The revolver was used as a; play-toy, and had not beep in use very long before the weapon was discharged. The buliet passed through the little lad’s upper lip, colliding with the roots ef two of his teeth which broke the force of the lead and thus saves his life. The ball brought _up at the root of the mouth, but it’s force being spent did no further damage. The bullet was recover - ed. The bullet was a 32-calibre revolver, and young Bourgeois’ life was only saved by the ball coming in contact with his teeth.—Moncton Times.

Granp Rapips, Mich., November 28 —H. A. Greenley, aud five other veterans Grand Rapids husters, returned from Luce Co. with 25 deer. One day, while Greenley was out alone, he shot a large doe. Her dying ruo carried her to a bar in the mid- die of the lake. Greenley stripped to his uodersbirt and started towade out. There was ice upon the water, but he broke that with his hands and went out until he was up to his armpits, and could go no further. His flesh was torn and Jacerated, by the brush. After trying several places, be finally pulled off his only remaining gar- ment and planged in. O. Woodworth, another member of the party, reached the place in time to see Greenley climb upon the bar, grab the deer’s horns, and push back to ahore with his prize. Mr. Green ley donned his clothes ina hurry took a sip of what all huoters carry for such emergencies, and has not felt the elighest inconvenience from his swim it ice.
