France Getfind Aiarrned-

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.--Herdld Paris spec
ial /: Regarding the retaliation proposed in
Washington against the prohibited importa.
tion into France and Germany of American
pork, La France publishes most sensible
and forcible leader, protesting against the
present policy Of prohibition, and clearly
demonstrating that France will be the great
est sufferer. "The bill of NJ. Bert is most alb
surd and most dangerous measure. Official
returns show that the value of imports Of
pork fell in last year from $1,000, 900 francs
to 10000 francs, subjecting the ports Of
Havre, Bordeaux and Marseilles to loss of
at least that amount of trade, and depriving
the poorer classes of cheap and nourishing
food. Chambers of commerce throughout
France, the Academy of Medicine and Coun.
Gil Of Public Health have protested In vain
against the action of the Government. The
war against American pork was begun and
continued In the interest of ring Of protec-
ZIONIST pork packers and raisers at Nantes,
who want to monopolize the home market,
and now it Is high time that the French peo-
pie should open their eyes to the danger
which Is now menaceG by American repris.
ais. The reports of American consuls to
their Government have directed attention to
the alleged adulteration Of French wines.
Analyses Of municipal laboratories of Paris
lend color to this charge, and they perhaps
give cause TO the action of American Con-
gress. If the United States restrict or pro-
hibit the importation of French wines,
another enormous loss will be inflicted on
French commerce, and this at the very mo-
ment when our economic disturbance and
diminishing exports are greatest. In the
event Of such prohibition $500 900 francs
will be lost, thus making a total Of nearly
0,0OO,0 900 francs, and thus paying dearly
for the protection Of few pork-packers ct
Nantes.

Madisonian. 18Th.

One day this week, in looking over an old
number Of the Montana Chr,s,ian Advocate, a
so-called religious paper, we came across the
following In some alleged correspondence
from resident of this city: az fear my letter
Is almost too long now, but want to tell You
what mamma and I saw yesterday. After
Sunday school we went to call on two aged
ladies who are invalids. As we stepped upon
the sidewalk, on the corner of Wallace and
Idaho streets, where there Is saloon, We
saw three boys standing ut the bar, hitting
their glasses and pouring the whisky down
their throats. We had never seen such a
sight before, and mamma exclaimed right
out: ooh, dear! IL almost kills me to see these
boys starting on the road to ruin. Can there
be nothing done to save them" Yon would .

Schools, Teachers, and Parents.
Salt Lake Tribune.

The workingman member of Parliament,
Mr.. Burt, has been giving in England his
"American Impressions. Among other
things he is delighted with the American
school system, and sadly admits that there
Is nothing in England to compare with it.
The free school system of the United States
is very grand, truly, but we wish there was
more that could be said in its praise. 1t is
not perfect. 1t fails TO turn out students
prepared for wrestle with this world.
What to do In order to be useful, young men
and women have to learn after they leave
school. When the system shall have been
perfected, and pupil leaves school, it will
be with the definite understanding that his
or her education has been with a special
reference to some line of life which is to be
followed on to such perfection that so long
as health lasts it will be possible for him or
her TO do something which the world will be
sure TO want, and that hence independence
shall be secured. That this is not so now
we hold to be more the fault of parents than
teachers. Not many parents take an absorb
ing interest in the education of their chill
dren, not many study enough the character,
traits and capacity of their children TO give
a teacher an intelligent idea of the bent of
their minds and the studies they ought to
pursue and not one in three would second
the efforts Of their teachers in giving prac-
tIcal direction to the studies of their chill
dren. Poor mothers are not anxious that
their daughters shall learn enough of prac-
tical life to fit them TO be thorough house,
keepers. OF course not. 1t might take from
their lily white hands something of their in-
candescent splendor, and discount their
chances Of marrying some millionaire. And
other fond mothers would rather see their
SONS studying Latin than mechanics, lest the
latter school might interfere with their be-
coming Presidents of the United States.
Other mothers will not permit their daugh-
tiers 10 learn any useful work, lest their
hands be enlarged, but they would like to
see them ride hard mouthed horse an hour
daily, because, though hard on the hands, it
would be so elegant. All these things are
cruelties TO children. The first lesson that
should be learned is, that nothing which Is
good, and which in any honest field Is an
assistance TO mortal, ought to be ignored.
For instance, did any woman ever grieve
over the time lost in becoming an accom-.
plished cook? And how many have be-
walled the fact that when young they neg
lected to acquire 1t. How many thousands
of boys are annually becoming hoodlums for
the simple reas On that they have never been
taught how to do well any necessary thing.
While this spirit exists among parents the
schools can never become perfect. Foru-
nately they are steadily improving. Teach
ers are learning that boys and girls have eyes
aud hands that need training as much as
brains, and the fact that mechanics and the
practical sciences are Just now scoring more
triumphs than are being won in the purely
intellectual schools, is giving new dignity
to labor which will by and by bear fruit.
