Easy to Run a Newspaper.
New York Post |


The bar room journalist stands In
the stores with his back to the stove
and tells how he could run a newspa-
per; how be could be as independent
as a ho. on ice, and call things by
their right names; how he would ex-
pose corruption 10 high places: how
he would write good common sense.
and none Of your frivolous try TO be-
funny stuff. Then he criticises other
peoples methods OF conducting news
papers. and just wishes some one
would give him a chance TO show his
journalistic ability. The way to cure
one Of these chaps Is to get him To
write very sensible article every
day for week. Before the week is
out he Ia sure to be pumped dry. and
will gap worse for an idea than a
chicken does.

The Cultivation Of Self Respect.

A child that Is uniformly treated
with courtesy, with consideration,
with Justice, will unconscieusly deem
himself worthy VI such treatment, and
will become worthy OF it. unlesss he
IL by nature wholly base; and he will
unconsciously treat others as be is
treated. 1t is fearful thing to give
a child the lie, to accuse him of steal-
ing. to accustom him to unexpected
and unmerited cuffs and blows. He
may have been guilty OF an untruth
and OF theft, he may merit punish
ment. but the wise parent never will
admit into the household vocabulary
the terrible words thief and liar, and
will never permit in himself or others
the hasty blow, the bitter taunt, the
stingiDg epithet: the refined aud ed
ucated parent can never tolerate Ian
guage such as we have indicated.
Bitter words are more cruel than
blows, and infiict more lasting inju-
ries. Care in the choice OF associates
will do much to foster proper self-re-
spect In q child. Some mothers think
their sons and daughters can go
where they chUose aud play with

q greater mistake. As well might
one think 1t no difference what air
we breathe. Children are quicker
than we to catch the tone OF associ-
ates, to pick up slang words. bad
grammar, vulgar ideas,-these often
seem to be taken in through the very
pores. as typhoid poison Ia when least

A BOYS Sermon.

The Young Folks Gazette tells the

looking In all directions for a
stream or even q house where he
might refresh his tired thirsty horse
with a good draught OF water. While
he was thinking and wondering he
turned an abrupt bend In the road
and saw before him a comfortable
locking farm house, and at the same
time a boy ten or twelve years old
came out into the road with q small
pail and stood directly before him.

Those who cannot themselves do
good services are but as one to q
thousand compared with those who
can see faults In the labor of others.
To put ourselves in . passion, In
consequence OF the misconduct OF

behavior, but it has also something
generous about it: for we are very
clearly annoying and furnishing our

to have been the sufferers.
We both read and hear bitter CON-
plants about the uncertainty Of hu-
man affairs; and yet it Is that un
certainty alone that gives life its
relish, for novelty is the real and radi-

A Sunday In Paris 10 Is thoroughly

was the least matter thought OF by
most people. They have their horse
races and their elections on Sunday,
their thesters and operas give the
best performances In the evening, and
the exposition on Sunday drew its
largest crowds. In fact. the day Is
treated as day OF extraordinary
merry. making, and % holiday which
