Hardly Probable

A Milwaukee newspaper published
a story about dark-haircd girl and a
liSht-haired girl, room-mates in a
boarding school, who dressed one
morning in the dark and each braid
ed the others switch in with her own
hair, SO that their heads at the break
fast table looked like confused check
er boards. The improbability Of the
narrative has been noted by several
journals, one Of which thus expresses
its incrcdulity "This is the very first
time that any mere dewspapcr writer
has dared to suggest that a couple Of
young women ever dressed themselves
in the dark and without the services
Of tile mirror, and it is to be hoped
this ridiculous kind Of literature will
be discontinued ut the outset"

Cotton Mills.

Tie Philadelphia North American
speaks thus cncoura9ingly Of the cot
ton manufacturing future Of The South
ern States "Thrre is little doubt
that the cotton manufacturing in the
North will become a thing OF the past
within n generation after prosperity
is restored in the South. 1t will no
longer pay to carry the raw material
hundreds of miles and transport coal
and supplies to the colder climate OF
the North when both can be saved bv
the erection Of mills on the spot. New
England will lose her cotton mills
just as she lost her glass factories,
when the manufacture was begun al
PlItsburg, and the freight on coal and
sand saved. The future Of the South
is in her own llandS, and She alone
holds control of her destiny" Trucl
words were never uttered. All thai
remains for US TO DO is to be true to
ourselves and the predicted prospcri-
ty Of our beautiful South is certain
TO be realized.

mc5tc shameless and disgracerul scene
""as enacted 10y Mr.. Conkling, of New
York, and Gen. Burnsides, Of Rhode
Island, Which threw that body in tic
utmost confusion. IT is said the lie,
or its equivalent, passed freely, ac-
companied by the strongest adjcc-
lives to aggravatc the insult. Blows
were not reach d bot the disgrace is
all the SAME if they had been.
For the sake of the dignity Of our
government it was hoped that the
introduction of Southern grace and
pride wOu:d mellow down the hard
tempers aad improper speeches of
Northern ',ull-duZcrs and non-con
batants, and restore our national Con.
grcss to something like its former
propricty and responsibility. II
seems, however, every grace will fail
until that body be purified Of its old
Radical elements 50 accustomed to
the disorder and billingsgate Of pow
vows. This is, we believe, the sec.
onu scene Of the kind since the intro
duction Of the Southern element, and
we are proud TO say both were he,
tween parties of the same class.

of Col. Herbert T.. 1Iill, Assistant
Adjutant- Gencrat of the State of
Massachusetts, at the head Of 1900
Of the citizen sol6icry Of South Caro-
lima. This officer, but few years
ago, was arrayed in battle line against
the very men at whose head today he
was riding. Then lie believed. thcm
to be rebels working for The dcstruc-
ton OF his country; they, believed
him to have cspoused the cause of q
tyrant for the oppression Of the South I:
now the difficulties have been adjust

''livo Yankee Of Massachusetts rides
proudly and triunphanlly at the
head of a .column Of l 800 South Cars

union that brings them thus SO. pleas

| Interview with j. III. Smart, Indiana
State Superintendent Of Education
"What il the chief agency in the
degradation Of our young people, SO far
as II occurs?r
"Well, should say that bad litera-
ture Is the devils most powerful weapon
lin this work.
Then an education means a good
deal more than the mere acquisition Of
information 2.
Yes, sir. Our best teachers UNDER
stand very well that taking out child's
brains and SIT fling the vacuum with a
few books is not education. As has
been well said, IL you train mans
body only You make magnificent brute !;
IL yon train his body and his mind you
have magnificent scoundrel. and IL you
train his body, his mind and his heart
you have a magnificent specimen OF
manhood. Right education will make
manly men and womanly women. The
school plays an important part in the
work, but there are other agencies OF
just as much importance and with whom
the responsibility must certainly be di-
vidcd."

4 First-bc true-be genuine. No edn-
cation is worth anything that does not
include this. A man had better not
know how 10 read-hc had better never
learn letter Of the alphabet, and be
'truc and genuine in intention and IN
action, rather than being learned in all
sciences and in all languages, TO be al
the same time false In heart and counter
felt in life.
Second-Bc pure in thought, language,
pure in mind and body. An impure
man, young or old, poisoning the socic-
lty where he moves with smutty stories
and impure examples, is moral ulcer, a
plague spot, . lcper who ought to be
treated as were the lcpers OF old.
Third-Bc unselfish. To care for the
comforts and feelings Of others. To be
generous, noble, and manly.
Fourth-Be self-rcliant and self-help-
'ful even from early childhood. To be
industrious always, and self supporting
~ the earliest proper age. Teach them
that all honest work IS honorable, and
that an idle. useless life Of dependence
on others IL disgraccful.
When q boy has learned these four
things. when he has made these ideas a
part Of his bcing-howcvcr yorng he
may be. however poor. or however rich
he has learned some Of the most i'm
portant things he ought to know when
he becomes man.
