The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1881-05-25


The Detroit Free Press estimates the nuns
Der of liars in the country at sixty per cent. of
the entire population The Investigations Of
the Free Press have probably been confined to
people directly under the influence of that
paper, and its estimate Is doubtless too high,
altogether. II Is known that great many
people who we're formerly liars have given up
the practice during the past few years, dis
couraged, and are now telling the truth, all
most entirely. They started out with high
ambitions and bright hopes, but western
journalism has made wonderful progress re-
Gently, and they skunk out of tho ranks by
thousands, and now If a man calls them a liar
they deny it, Well everybody cannot succeed
there always has been, and there always will
be, a few at the head Of any profession, fol-
lowed by an army of underlings, Of mediocre
ability, who don't amount to anything and
never will.

GERMAN GIRLS. Their life Ia far different
from that of American girls, and we could
hardly fancy anything more prosy than the
home life of tho high and we'll born German
girl. They are educated precisely alike. the
range Of study being limited. The common
branches, French and sometimes English, aud
d few small ornamental accomplishments,
complete the list. The statement that the
American girls study the sciences, and some
times Greek and LATIN causes from them
manifestations of surprise The traditions
and prejudices of their class are carefully i'm
culcated. Any woman who does think or
act in opposition to the conventional standard
Is looked upon with distrust. But their do
mestic education is carefully attended to I;
whatever their rank, they master all branches
and steps Of housekeeping. Their wedding
trousseau and outfit In bed and table linen is
generous In quantity and beautiful in texture,
and usually made by their own willing hands.
An engagement with them Is as solemn and
binding as a marriage contract, and unfaith-
fulness in either sen Is an exception that meets
hearty condemnation. Their simpleness and
quietness OF life is reproach to the lives OF
the idle, ease loving, frivolous girls OF many
other countries.

doing, rubbed off ring presented to him by
his snamoTata, which fell into the sea. His
position was an awkward one, as she had
