AYER’S Cherry Pectoral.

No other complaints are so insidious in their

attack as these affecting the tliroat and lungs;

' none so trifled with by the majority of suffer- ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex- posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal sickness. AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL has well proven its eflicacy in a forty years’ fight with throat and lung diseases, and shouid be taken in all cases without delay.

A Terrible Cough Cured.

“Tn 1857 I took a severe cold, which affected my lungs. 1 had a terrible cough, and passed night after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. 1 tried AYER’s CHERRY PEc- TORAL, which relieved mv lungs, indueed sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for the recovery of my strength. By the continued use of the PECTORAL a perma- nent cure wae eifected. I am now 62 years old, hale aud hearty, and aim satisfied your CHERRY PECTORAL saved me.

Croup. —A Mother’s Tribute,

“While in the country last winter my little boy, three years old, was taken ill with croup; ts seemed as if he would die from strangu-

tion. One of the family suggested the use of AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL, a bottle of which was always kept in the house. This was tried in small and frequent doses, and to our delight in less than half an hour the little patient was breathing easily. The doe- tor said that the Cuexry PrcToRaL had saved my darling’s life. Can you wonder at our gratitude? Sincerely yours,

Mrs. EMMA GEDNEY.” 159 West 128th St., New York, May 16, 1882.

IT cannot say enough in praise of AYER’s CHERRY PECTORAL, believing as I do that but for its use I should long since have died from lung troubies. E. BRAGDON.”

Palesiine, Texas, April 22, 1882,

Wo case of an affection of the throat or lungs exists which cannot be greatly relieved by the use of AYER’s CHERRY PECTORAL, and it will always cure when the disease, ig not already beyond the control of medicine.”

‘LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Corporal Punishment in Schools. | Sir,—‘ Teacher,” in your Tuesday’s issue, | gives his views on corporal punishment, and very queer views they are. He says that those who are opposed to flogging in schools, jare mostly always found to be very cruel a! home. In some instances this statement may be borne out by the facts, for there are some parents who >elieve in flogging children, and prefer to have it done at home, believing that it if has to be done at all it is best to inflict it under the parental roof by themselves, and in the presence of

happens to be any. But because, some parents are found to beat their children unmercifally at home, this should be no reason why the same children should be unmercifully beaten when they go to school by a fresh Wand, that of the teacher. 1 take it that itis the children themselves who are most interested in the flogging business, and it surely cannot be calm to their feelings to know that because they are beaten with many stripes at home, they should also be beaten by many stripes when in school. Strange logic, and crue! as it is strange. Coming from a man who tells us he has been a long time in the service of teaching, simply means that many a poor victim has suffered in the flesh in the past, and that many a poor fellow has good reason to remember the bitter experiences of his school-bey daye,

Bat we are told by your correspondent that teachers not only have the privilege, but that they also have the legal right to infliet corporal punishment ; and for the law of the matter we are referred to the Stipendiary Magistrate’s opinions. Mr. Fitzgerald is represented as having decided how far a teacher may go in * maintaining order.” Hecan, we are told, inflict cor- poral punishment, ‘‘and that only when such punishment has been inflicted to the extent of permanent bodily injury, des the teacher become liable to: an action for common assault.’ That is, a teacher may break an arm, or a leg, of a pupil under his charge—for that need not necessarily lead to permanent bodily injuary—send still not be liable to an action for even common assault. He may beat with a ruler, pound with a stick, kick, evff, pull the ears and otherwise maltreat ab y or girl whom he considers a little refractory—and where is the boy that doesn’t refraci a little some- times—and still the law must not, and does not, according to this authority, provide for any redress. I have far too high ap opinicu ef Mr. Fitzgerald to believe that he ever gave expression to such opinions, either from the bench or the platform, as ‘* Teacher” has seen fit to put into his mouth. The Schoel Law doea not give teachers any authority whatever to ioflict corporal punishment. To the Trustees of each school is delegated the power to deal with refractory pupils; and I am sure no one would Jike to see authority given to them to use tho rod with impunity when dealing with other people’s children, what- ever may be said of their treatment of their own.

The teacher, I repeat, has no more legal right to assault a child at school, than he has to assault a child or a grown person anywhere else. It he should attack and beat even the very smallest one under hi charge (and the smaller the child the les» excuse there is for the beating), he onght to find the walls of the schoolroom too thin to save him from condign punishment.

Iu conclusion, let me ask ‘* Teacher how would he like it if he were treated himself after the manner he recommends in the case of children? Suppose he were 2 scholar, in a school kept by a map as mucl)

”

little six and eight year olds now under hi« charge, and he should happen to fall asleep, or laugh out loud, or do something worse than either,—how would he like the big master, in such a supposed case, 14 or 15 feet in height, and a stick as big asa longer, trash at him and belabour him ‘‘ to the extent of bedily injury ?’? He would uot like ita bit better than youor I, and still he is afraid corporal punishment will be done away with in schools, and that little children shall go untrashed.

For wy pact I den’t believe in letting teachers have their own way in this matter Hence, I think the law should step in and regulate them,

Yours, &c., R. P.

Death in the Frog.

There is a legend that once upon a time an innocent man was placed in a massive stone cell, which was so constructed that the heavy stone walls closed a little each day, so that het could {know that a ter- rible death awaited him. The unfortunate brakesman whose foot becomes inextricably caught in a frog or guard rail must ex- perience similar emotions to the manfin the call, for general'y the predicament occurs when either a car or engine is approaching, which is sure to kill the victim or leave him a physical wreck. A prominent surgeon of 'St. Paul says that within seven years ho has ;neticed professionally twenty-six cases, fourteen of which were fatal, wholly the result of persons being caught in \these relentless iron bovot- -jacks, and all /employes with but one exception. Last fail a Jady in Streator, Ill.,-was crossing the | euilbdind track with her two children, when her foot became fast ina ‘* frog,” and in iher frantic efforts to free herself, and also to save her children, she wedged her foot tighter, a heavy freight train came along and killed her and one of the little girls. Two states have enacted laws com- Siting railroads to guard the cavities which occur in tracks, and the time cannot be far distant when the law will be universal, as itshould be. Railroad men pay too little jattention to these matters. Humanity

would dictate that every means should be jemployed to eradicate this source of 80) many ghastly casualties.

Submarine Navigation.

The inventor of the Nordenfelt gun, «ho | has been devoting a good deal of attention ito the problem of submarine navigation, ‘has designed a boat which appears to be ‘considerably in advance of anything here- tofore constructed. The idea of building a boat capable of beivg operated beneath the | surface of the water is not at all a new one, |and in his exp-riments Mr. Nordenfelt has had the advantages of knowing the causes cf many previcus failures, and has been able to utiliza the experience of other inventors. The Nordenfelt boat is cigar shaped, with a projection on top supporting a glass dome, which enables the com- mander to see his way, and may be pushed \aside whcn on the surface, to enable the crew to get in or out, The hull is siaty- four feet long anc. nive feet in diameter im

the centre. The mode of sinking the boat is in some respects novel and is considered sefer than

the methods adopted by other inventore. Enough sea water is taken in to reduce the buoyancy of the boat sufliciently to sink everything but the conning tower beneath the surface. When it is desired to sink still further a couple of suitably-adjusted propellors are set in motion, and by these the boat is forced down to ary desired depth and held there. In the event of an accident to these propellors, or when it is desired to come tv the surface the pro- pellors are stopped and the reserve of bucyance which makes some force necessary to hold the boat down at once carries her to the surface. attachment the propellors cease to work below a fixed depth. The boatis kept on an even keel by means of two horizontal rudders controlled by a pendulum inside the hull. The motive power is steam generated in an ordinary marine boiler with a forced draught. For submarine work arrangements are made for eccumuiating and storieg on the surface the power re- quired. Sufiicient power can be stored to propel the boat 16 mules ata speed of three knote. On the surface the boat has at- tained aspeed of alittle over eight knots, and has covered a little over 150 miles with- out recoaling. No compressed air is car-

ried, the crew depending wholly on the ordinary amount of air contained in the hull, but this has been found svuflicient to remain below the surface six hours without inconvenience. At the. ex- periment recently conducted to deter- mine the efficiency of this remarkable

boat, representatives of ail the European powers were present, and also representa- tives of Brazil and Japan. A boat poseecs- ing such qualities as those attritbuted to the Nordenfelt boat will intreduce a new element in marine warfare. Possessing the power to sink and remain beneath the sur- face for hours at a time, the most powerfui ironclad would ‘fenceless against the attack of this new foe. The blow would be quick, without warning or any ‘uzpicion of danger. The only alternative would seem to be to meet thes attack of submarine boats by other boats of a like character. The naval engayemeuts of the future may be decided below the surface.

The Fali of Khartoum.

—_—

The chief item of _ interest in the late English papers is the im- portant document lately issued by

the Wer Oilice containing Major Kitch- ener’s “Notes of the Fail of Khartoum.” The narrative is deeply impressive, and no one can read it without feeling moved. It is difficult to restrain indignation as the reader reaches the closing words of the dark and dismal story. ‘‘Never was a garrison

30 nearly rescued,’ says the report, ‘never was & , commander so sin- cerely lamented.’ Gordon’s defence

of Khartoum must live in history as one of

the most picturesque and gailant deeds ever known to arms. He made a brave fight of it, and fell not from treachery

within, as we have been led all along to suppose, but through tho sheer exhaustion of his followers, who, ill and half starved, were powerless to long withstand the ter- rific onslaught of the Mahdi’s hordes. The black troops loved and venerated Gordon, They were faithful to the end. He had them under wonderful subjection, but their hearts were his, and he raled them wiih kindness ard gentleness. The little garrison did yeomen’s service dur- ing the last terrible days. Reduced to the flesh of rats and cats for food, they continued to resist the assault of the enemy, until human enduranee could stand no more. The army which should have reached Khartoum a month before it arrived, failed to come, and the grandest name in the annals of modern chivalry perished nobly, a prey to the supineness of the Government, and the victim of criminal delay. Farag Pasha has not turned out to be the traitor we all believed him to be. He had been importuned to deliver up the city, but no proof exists that he did eo ; ‘*indeed,’’ says Mejor Kitchener, ‘‘ the accusations have all been vague, and are to my mind the outcome of mere supposition.” A recent writer in one of the magazines showed how four precious days had been lost by the commander of the relieving force. On that officer much of the blame must lie, but on the Government of the day must rest (he onus for the tragedy and the death of the splendid hero. The carnaage of that last fight seems to have been terrible, no fewer than four thousand people having been killed. The ‘‘notes” are painful reading, but it is right that the whole bitter talehas aeached the public eye. Of tho perfect truthfulness of the re- cord there is no doubt,
