EXERCISE OF DISCRETION,

Dangerous Quality.

Why ya,Or without Consideration Is a
Dangerous Quality.
The discretion which is said to
be the better part of valor" is not
usually understood to be a quality of
which the possessor has any particu-
lar reason to feel proud; it is looked
upon. indeed. as an indication of
something very like cowardice Cow
ardice in a man. fortunately for this
country. is looked upon by ali classes,
from the ragged vendor of evening
newspapers to prime minister. as
the one social sin for which there is no
forgiveness, hence the imputation be-
comes a serious one. As matter of
fact, however, it is pre-eminently true
that discretion is the better part of
valor." Nalor without discretion. so
far from being a useful quality, is apt
to be a very dangerous one. The
valor of our private soldiers is beyond
question, but the exercise of the dis
cretion which controls it is fortunately
not left to them; if it we're we should
have splendid instances of bravery. no
doubt, but our army as an effective
weapon of war would soon cease to
exist.
Discretion is the tie which binds to-
gether all the faculties of the mind:
without it. they have no more cohesion
than loose bundle of sticks. He who
enjoys the proper exercise of this
faculty enjoys it, unfortunately, to the
exclusion of countless numbers of his
fellow-beings. 1t is faculty which
can be developed by practice, and it
can be lost by disuse, following in
this respect the Darwinian order of
things. Soldiers taught to perform
their different evolutions at the word
of command. act mechanically at last,
depending upon the volition of some
body else instead of their own. Re-
lieved from the necessity of consider
ing what course they would, under
particular circumstances, adopt, they
cease to consider about it altogether,
and if at some supreme crisis they are
deprived of those who have done the
thinking for them, they are as incapa-

An Affection That Is Easily Cured II
Treated in Time.
A recent writer on ophthalmic sur
gerry calls attention to the fact that
many cases of ''squint" in children,
which, if left to themselves, become so
pronounced that only a surgical Oper-
alton can be of service to them, would
be easily cured by the use of proper
spectacles if seen by competent spe-
cialist in the earlier stages of the af-
lection. The present generation. he
says, has witnessed many improve
ments in the operation for squint The
objects to be aimed at by operations
have become well understood. But it
is stated that board schools and
other educational establishments are
still busily engaged in manufact-
uring fresh cases, though. thanks
to improved spectacles. there are now
fewer squints requiring operation than
formerly. Age is hardly bar to the
wearing of spectacles, quite young
children soon becoming accustomed to
their use. It is possible that en-
thusiastic specialists may sometimes
carry their principles too far. The
sight of so many boys and girls in
streets rand schools and Offices with
.-spectacles on nose" is not encourage
ing. Still, if many of the youthful
patients are merely undergoing atem-
porary treatment for squint, there is
less reason for regret Undoubtedly
it is better for child to wear spec
tacles for few years. and thus to be
cured, than to have to run the risk of
tendon section in later life.-L0ndop

THE BAD OLD TIMES,
For a Change. How Does the Foregoing
Caption Look?


We have long been accustomed to
the other phrase, 1.-The good old times;"
let us change it. There were bad old
times Of the French revolution, when
blood flowed like water and the great.
est murderer was the best fellow
There were worse old times before the
French revolution; times of tyranny
and royal caprice and unutterable de-
bauchery in high places; times that
could only be purified as by fire.
There were the bad old times of the
middle ages in Europe, when children
were allowed to have their feelings
wrought up so that they would enlist
by the ten thousand in a hopeless cru
sade against the Moslems, only to die
by the ten thousand.
There We're the bad old times in En-
gland when it was perfectly respect
able thing for a gentleman to get
drunk once in awhile, and when no
one was read out of good society be-
cause he was gambler, and when
women labored half-naked in the coal
mines. worse treated than the donkeys
themselves.
There were the times when only the
few could obtain an education. and the
masses could scarcely hope to get
above the condition of their fathers.
There were the bad old times in our
own land when there was only one
processing Christian to every fourteen
of the population. instead of one in
five as at present; when our rulers
were pronounced atheists and our
scholars were pronounced skeptics.
There were the bad old times of sla-
very and disuniOn and civil war and
carpetbagism. There were the bad
old times when not one voice, even of
one crying in the wilderness, was
raised against the curse of rum-selling;
when some ministers of the Gospel
themselves tippled at each house on
their round of pastoral calls. and the
members of the flock were not slow to
follow their example.
Let US thank God that the bad old
times have gone never to return. az
we hope. The new times are not as
good as those that are coming, but
they are better than the past, and the
Eastern sky is Frightening. Golden
Rule.

EARLY WINTER STYLES.
One Form Of Excitement in Which Fashion
Leaders arc lndulginE.

Ono Form ofExcitement in Which Fashion
Leaders arc INDUCING.
Come over, come over to me-" Il
the appeal which most fashionable
women are now making to their dress
makers. and. judging from the novel;
ties which these same dress-makers
are bringing from across the waters, the
costumes of this season bid fair to be
more beautiful and bewildering than
ever. One novelty which will, we
hope, not reach us is the bull-fght,
which since and during the Exposi-
ton is one form of excitement in
which society in Paris INDUCES. This
barbarous entertainment has given a
Spanish tinge to every thing. and the
toilettes most in vogue are those
which are suggestive OF the arena
Hence We have the picturesque SOM
brero, the dashing toreadore. the mata-
dore. and last but not least, the CO.
quettish mantilla, gracing the heads Of
the votaries of fashion. The mantillas
fastened to the head at the back with
the high comb will be very becom-
ing and popular headgear for evening
wear this winter. Even the bright red
cloth which is waved to excite the bull
to combat is worn by the ladies on less
exciting occasions. 1t is folded di-
agonally, making a three-cornered
kerchief, the two ends of which are
knotted in the back of the neck. while
the point falls into the opening of the
dress in front. The Spanish wrap is
represented by the short senorita with
epaulettes. which is becoming sub
stitute for the English jacket.
The new fall goods. cashmeres,
cloths, cheviots and diagonals come in
divers designs, of which the large
plaids, discs and broad stripes are
most favored.
A very attractive costume has a
coat of white-striped Eton cloth, with
chemisette and cravatte of white silk.
An elegant directoire gown has the
waist, triple revers, and cuffs on one
mass of gold embroidery.
Handsome dinner and reception
dresses are made of new material, shot
moire, interviewer with gold or silver
threads, upon which the gaslight has
magical effect. Peau de sole and
brocade are also in demand in broad
stripes in three colors or in large floral
designs, which almost completely hide
the ground tone Of the material.
The new shapes in hats show lower
crowns with broad brims. profusely
trimmed with ostrich plumes, which
lie fat on the brim and droop over in
the back. For the capotes and toques,
which are as fashionable as ever, vel
vet flowers in all varieties, with the
addition of broad ribbon.
At the theater diadem of flowers
or fruit will serve as a su bstitute for
the tall hat which has so long annoyed
the unfortunate possessor of the seat
behind it. A diadem of deep-red
grapes is especially becoming to
blondes, one of green ones to bru-
nettes.
For dress trimmings the fringes in
all widths and colors are the favorites;
those of cut Jet have most brilliant
effect, as with each motion of the
wearer the lights and colors vary.
Next come the pinked out ruches and
broad bands of Hungarian velvet. usu-
ally in two colors. Velvet will be the
material par excellence for fal, and
winter wraps and for winter polonaise,
which is again a favorite of fashion
