Burns, Des Moines, '+ lowa, physician and lecturer, deciared | that a nation-wide revival ot old-fashion- | ed spankings, judiciously adininistered to recaleitrant little boys and girls, would . be a blessing to the country as well as to i the individual who are spanked. Babies t of the cradle age, before th:y can talk, | asserted by Dr. Burus, begin to show | their independence and tyranay, and fool- . ish mothers, instead of doling ot deserv- . ed punishment, preserved the peace by . giving bribes, petting and making extia- | vagant promises. : “Parents are entirely too anxious to | sympathise with therr children, instead ' of considering whether their children - are in the wrong,”” thinks Dr. Burns. ? Judicious application of the old hickory . vod is the remedy which he beieves will . reveperate the raising genervation.— The | Youth’'s Instructor. ; The use of the strap at the right ; time will brieg many unreasorable :nd | sinful youths to their senses.

Londen, May 12th. —Queen Marie of Rumaunia came back to Great Britain to- day to pay a state visit to her grand- mother’s old home, Buckingham Palace, and the welcome she received was truly Vietorian in its splendoar. Battalions of brilliantly uniformed troops and mounted bands lined the route from Victoria Station to the Patace. Behind the soldi- ere surged thousands of pegent-loving Londopers, to whor the sight of Royalty in curriages 18 ever a signal for enthusi- astic salu‘ing, gentlemanly hat waving ano jdecorons cheering, which although not too loud voiced, indicates the warmth of heart of loyal subjeets. King Ferdi- rand, very much like King George in military uniform, rode in the front car- ringe, follewed by the Queer and Queen Marie. All eyes seemed centred on the beautiful woman whose romantic politi- cal expioits and heroiec war efferts in her middie Buropean Kingdom made her as well known in Great Britain as at home. After introduetions at the Palace, Queen Marie and King Fedi- nand went t 0 Whitehall, where they laid a wreath on the cenotaph., Tomor- row the Rumanian rulers wil visit the Guiidball and receive the freedom of the City. The four days of the state visit will be erowded with balls, re- cepiions and dinrers. The Prince of Wales met the visiting King and Queen at Dover and accompanied themn to London. Accordirg to the Foreign Office, there is no political significance attached to the Rumanian visit despite the faet that M. Duca, the Roumanian Foreign Minister, accompanies the Sov- ereiuns, It is stated that Anglo-Rouma- ninn reiations are already most friendly and that further treaties are not likely to be n<eded.
