' Tommy went to work and succeeded better than he expected to but a good deal of his time was spent in watching his strange com- panions, and raeing how neatly and taste- fu'ly they did taeir work. Oa the morrow Tommy worked hard to make up for the day before. About mid- day he master came to inspect each one's work. When he reached Tommy's table he turned each face over and looked at it carefully. "Here,.what does this mean?" he asked, as he picked up the last face, holding it so that all might see. A loud laugh followed from every one the room, and no wonder. Tommy in his hurry had put in one dark brown eye and one blue eye. "What shall be done with him?" said the master. Many were the methwds of punishment proposed, but none seemed to be Mvere enough. "1 know," said one at the last; "make him swallow one of those wax dolls tha*- spoiled in the making." " Yes, yes," said they all " that i. just the thine." " Get the largest one yon can find," said the overseer. Soon tbey brought itâ€" a doll twice as large as Tommy. In vain he protested against it, and said he would not do it. Tbey held him forced his ncouth open, and â€" Tommy ia some unaccountable manner, found himself baok on the grass right where he had started from. The first thing he did was to feel his throat, to see if he had really swallowed the doll but concluded that he had not. Then he found he was his natural size. He got up and turned over the rock where he had seen the gnome, but unearthed nothinir but a big black cricket. By this time he was fairly awake â€" for he thought he must have been asleep, " though it was a wonderfully vivid dream," as he told his mother afterwards. He went to the house, hoping all the morning*, work had been a dream. But he knew by Susie's looks that her lost doll had come to life, and being thoroughly sorry by this time, ran up stairs where he kept his pennies, took them out and went to a store and bought the big- gest doll that conld be bad for the money. Tommy was a changed boy after his visit to Gnomeland, and though it wa. only a dream, he was careful of Susie's playthings, lest n e might have another trip there. Beautiful Swiss Gustoii. As mon as the sun ha. duappeared in the valleys, and its last rays are just glimmering on the snowy summits of the mountains, the herdsman who dwells on the loftiest peak takes his horn and trumpets forth, 'Praise God, the Lord I" All the herdsmen in the neighborhood take their horns and repeat the words. This often continues a quarter of an hour, while on all sidos the mountains echo the name of God. Solemn stillness follows every shepherd on bended knees with uncovered head, oflfcrs his secret praytr. By this time ic is quite dark.

A We. â- ttter Tklak. tta. 1 aho«M»el fiirt. ^The quertion aa t3 the proper mode of ia- flioting oorparal punishment f. one that ha. been ktrongly debated. There is no doubt ttat it .hould never be plaoed in the power of pupilt or aHiatant teaoher. tl.e head master or mbtrem ahonld alone have the power to punish. The question that ha. been raiaed a. to whether girU .hould be exempt from it i., to uy the least, child ish. ThoM who know anytiiing of the work- ing of ordinary Mhool. are well acquainted with the fact that, when girl, are prone to be troublesome, they are infinitely more difficult to manage than boys, and that there are always in every large school some few who are amenable to no other dioipline. They must either be dismissed, ti their in- evitable min, or they must be allowed to remain and practice their wilful{disobedienoe to the. destruction of the discipline of the school and the corruption of the other pupils. To say that such girls should not be sub- jected to the only treatment that can avail for their reformation i. simply part and parcel of the maudlin innane sympathy with the WTonr-doer that is charaoteristic of a small section of people at the present time. Much outcry has been made against Uie degrading efiect of corporal punisbment. As often inflicted, the outcry is not without causel; but that a boy or girl can be degrad- ed or injured by being caned across the shoulders ia a fiction. All impulsive puni- tive acts should be interdicted. Boxing the ears is a most injurious mode of punbhment it often causes sovere and permanent inj jry to the brun. Striking the hands with a cane, much more with a hard wooden poin- ter, is objectionable, a. being liable to injure seveiely the tendinous tissues and numerous joints of the wrist and hand, but birching across the shoulders where the broad, flat bones and ribs are good bulwarks protec'.iog the vital parts, is a power that should be in- trusted to every head teacher in every school, a power to be most rarely used, but always to be held as a Nemesis that is ready to overtake the evildoers. It may be said that such sentiment, are unnatural and not in accord with the highest philosophy, but to take example from nature, pain i. to be regarded as an institution ordered by a higher than human intelligence that pre- vents us from injuring our own bodies and so tends to our preservation. There is no law, human or -divine, that prevente our utilizing it for the lenefit of our children. â€" [The London Queen. Bounced. A friend of mine is the mother of two fine boys, aged respectively three and one- half and one and one-half year?. The elder, a fair specimen of the. enfant terrible type, had just been forcibly suppressed by his mother in the midst of a cirou. performance, and having been calmed down sufficiently to assume the role of host, was reviewing his recent acquisition, for my entertain- ment. He was intently engaged in Txplain- ing some pictures in a new Ixwk of which be was very careful, when his baby brother toddled up and besan patting his little fat hands over the page. Quick a. thought Jnnie caught up the intruder and with an inimitabltt little nod and " 'sense me a mo- ment, please," tugged the unresisting cffan- der o£r through an intervening room to his mother, who had been called out to superin- tend some household matter, and thrusting hu burden (almost a. big as himself) upon her, with "heie, take the baby, mamma, please," ruahed back to my entertainment with an inexpressible air of relief.â€" [N.

' I am afraid yon are too small to go alone and carry the pitoher," .aid mamma, .trok- ing the yellow curl.. "No mamma I've been with Walter lote of times, and I'll be ever so careful, and not spill a drop." The dairy wa. only at the other end of the block, and it wa. not yet .ix o'clock zo mamma decided to let her go, and F.dith started off bravely, with the money chink- ing in the pitcher, while mamma stood on the steps and watched the bright little head until (he tw it safely in at the dtdry door. "Why, this is Dr. Djkcre' little girl I" .aid the man. "VYhere*. your brother?" "He's gone. Mamma wanta a pint of oream, and Fm going to take it to her. "Well, that' nice.

The dairyman came to tha door, and wait- ed until she was down the .teps «nd on the pavemer t beiore he ^ave her the pitoher. It was not heavy, but it was so large that the cream would not spiil if it should splash a little. Edith carried it very crefully with both hands, and walked slowly. Mamma looked a long way off standing on the steps, and she felt very serious as she made her way along but the other people must have known what an important errand the was on, for they took care not to run against her. She was almost home, only four door, away, and was thinking that perhspis mamma would let her go every night if .he did not spill any, when something brushed against her so suddenly and so hard that she tdmost dropped tbe pitoher. It was only a collie dog who wanted a drink. He was too polite to push over a little girl so, when she backed up against the lamp post, he sat down in front of her. waggin? bis tail with all its might, and look- ing straight into her face, a. much a. to uy, "You know what I want. Please hand it over, and we won't have any trouble." Now Edith wa. more afraidof a dog than anything else in the world, but .he wa. not going to lose the oream. She looked at the ome steps, but mam.aia had been called in for a minute, and theire wa. nobody pa^.ing just then. "Go* way," she said to the dog; bu" he Iragan .uoh a big wag at the end of his tail that it went aO through hiib. and oame oat in a whine. And he put his head down and opened his mouth very wide. He looked Uke the woU in "Bad Biding Hood." MaylM he would eat her up, oream and alL And .he held the pitoher harder than ever. Jut thaa a boy oams along. " Don't be afraid I" he .aid.

"I'll take yoa home," uid the boy: and he offered to carry the oream, but Edith would not let that go ont of her luuids. But she was glad to have him walk with her, and keep the dog on the other ride of liim, until, they oame to her home. " And I never .pilled a drop, mamma," she uid as .he gave ap the pitoher. "That' a aioa Uttle girl, Trkk," uid the boy, as he wriked olf. " Dan't yoa erer frighten her again." And Triok looked at Itfm very hard, and then he wfaiked.

Accordingly, you will find that themost naked tribes of Cenirdkl Africa, al- tnongh they oan do without everything that we have oome to regard as neoeaaities of life, cannot do without either their nose-ringe or tbeir lip rings or their ear-rings or some other articles of peieonal adornment which minister, to their .elf nktiafaotion, aad which even canise. envy and jealousy to everybody else.

A very beautiful and youthful appeving society woman of New \oik, the preserva- tion of whose skin is remarked upon by her acquaintances, says that whenever she ia going out in the evening she prepares her toilet with the exception of her dress, wrings a wash cloth ont of as hot water as she oan bear, smooths it out over hei face so it will touch every part of it, and lies with it on her face for half an hour. When she re- moves it every wrinkle and line has diup- peared. An English lady over 60 asserte that her lack of wrinkles is due to the fact of her having used very, hot water all h«r life, which ' tightens the skin and smootha out the lires. Another celebrated beauty attributes her preservation to having never used a wash cloth or towel on ber face, but ' having alwav. washed it gently with her hand, rinsing it off with a soft sponce, dry- ing it with a soft cloth, and then rubbinit it briskly with a flesh brush. She used castile soap and very warm water every night, with cold water in the morning, and if she were awake late at night she always- slept a. many hours in tbe day a. she ex- pected to be awake at night. Another- student of the toilet asserts that she pre- vents and obliterates wrinkles by rubbing the face toward the nose when bathing it, and Ella Wheeler Wilcox asserte that she can eradicate a permanent wrinkle by the use of almond water and friction.â€" [New^ York Sun.
