GUILTY.

NJ J Savage, in recent essay, after
conccding all sorts of virtues to the news
paper, and enlarging upon the great good
it has done, the high Office it fills, the part
it plays as an educator, and its mission in
preaching the brotherhood of man, begs
the privilege Of complaining. His COM
plants are that the opinion of the
newspaper is invested with too much i'm
portance by the newspaper class; that
superstitious halo surrounds that which IS
printed, and which in MS or vocal dcliv-
cry has little influence; that papers are
unwilling to admit their errors, and insist
upon a sort of infallibility; that there IS
too much reliance upon partisan bias; that
the disposition to impugn the motives of
an opposition writer is increasing; that
the allotment to correspondents of almost
despo,ic power is great wrong, the regu-
lars caring more to make points" than to
be fair and judicial; that the belief is
growing among newspaper men that the
average reader wants peppery gossip-that
is, the Police Gazette style is Invading the
regular Offices; that indulgence in muse
Gus and repulsive details is increasng-as,
Tor instance, in the case Of the illness of
General Grant; that the tendency is to
invade private life and dish up scandal,
and even to manufacture it out of meagcr
text: tia; enterprise, instead of conscience
and ability, is too largely required of re-
u0rters, without whose Office there
can be no newspaper; that the
burdens put upon reporters are out
of all proportion to the expectancy of good
and honest work, or fair represontation-a
rs, for instance, where one reporter is re-
quired to catch up the points of
half dozen sermons in one morning dcIiv-
cred at widely separated points, and as
result manufactures 4 good part Of the

ated upon knows anything Of the matter III
hand or not, nor how much he protests
against being dragged " to the fore" that
in interviews the reporters seldom give the
conversation as it occurs, and as frequent
~ as not, from his rough notes. makes an
as in print of his victim that the news
paper is overanxious TO herald the news Of
ghastlv crime, and enlarge upon its hor-
rors; that the newspapers are active inAu-
ences in cultiyating Pcssimistic opinions,
due to the methods employed in reporting
scandal, crime, outage, misfortune and the
failure to note good deeds, and to inform
the people regarding the good men. good
women, and the good generally of much
abused society. To all which complaints
by Mir. Savage the newspapers Of the day,
if honest with themselves, will frankly,
and with humiliation, plead guilty

lish branches is becoming the exception
instead of the rule The Health Journal
is, of course, specialist, and to its vision
no better instruction can be given girls
than how to rear the progeny with which
they may be blessed or cursed when they
are married. 1t does not pause to con-
,, slider the qualifications that teachers must
have, to cope with this new-fangled idea,
! aud the fact that new corps of instructors
would be absolutely necessary.
We are perfectly willing to admit that
if maturing girls were taught more than
they are concerning their duties and re-
sponsibilities when they shall become
women, it would be better for them and
the race. But the public schools are not
the places for imparting such information,
since all that could be taught there with
propriety must be of such a general and
superficial character as to be practically
yalueless. But an invulnerable objection to
the whole scheme is the overlooking Of the
schools

in the schools now. The rage of the day
is, whenever deficiency IS discovered in
the social system to run 20 the schools

LABOR AND THE CHINESE eUEsTION

The Week, Of Toronto, declares that

true, ard labor would be traitor to itself
if it was not at the bottom and top OF, and
all through the legislation referred to. 1t
is for labor that The legislation is had; in
the interests Of labor that the Chinese are
excluded For we, of America want labor
to occupy its fair and true position in soci-
ETY., and that position one of freedom,
dignity, and compatible with our civiliza-
ton This it cannot have if forced to the
level of Chinese labor by competition.
The Chicago Current, referring to the mat
ter, says: When an idea lsuch as love for
the Chinese) has proved its inexpediency
why not abandon it ?" The Chinese and
Americans cannot live here together
Better by far a modus tjrend with the

Of Wakefield Miss Terry IS an artist OF
high merit but, outside the confines OF
England, it is a disputed question as to
whether Mr.. Irving is an actor of lofty
merit or not. The burden of critical opin-
ion to this time is that he is one of the
most remarkably successful of managers,
and has made his talent as such play d.
rcctly into the hands Of his reputation as
an actor. Il is safe to say that "Olivia's''
success is due more to Miss Terry's art and
Mr.. irying's irreproachable management
than to Mr.. Irving's acting.

The first snow of the winter does mol
make good strong snow-blocks for the igloos,
however deep it may fall and from the time
there is enough Of it, the Eskimo often have
TO wait three or four weeks before it is fit
for building. As it gets too cold in their
summer sealskin tents before this time
comes the natives generally build prelimi-
nary houses of ice, which, singular as it
may Seem, are much warmer than the tents,
but not as comfortable US the houses of
snow When the ice has formed to about
six inches in thickness ON some luke close
by, they cut out their big slabs Of ice for
the sides of the house. Imagine any ordi-
nary sized housc-door to be slab of ice
about six inches thick; then take half
dozen to dozen of these DOORS and place
them in circle, joining them edge to edge,
hut leaning in slightly, and you will have
formed your curious house of ice. Over
this circular pen of ice--which you can
initiate on q small scale with circular row
of upright dominoes on their ends and join
ed edge to edge-the summer sealskin tent
il dashed across poles for roof, and the ic,
house is complete. BY aud by, this roof
sagging with snow, may be taken off and
dome of snow put on, which gives moie
height and consequently more comfort
Before these houses get covered inside
with the black SCOT from the burning lamps,
and before the snow outside has drifted up
level with the roof, n night scene in q viii
