The Ethics Of journalism.

George William Curtis has a long
article on newspaper ethics in the
Harper's Monthly for April in which
he discusses the question, "Can a
man be a BLACKBOARD in journalism
and a gentleman in private lifeYn OF
course Mr.. Curtis settles the matter to
his own satisfaction, and we presume
a certain element Of superfine diet
tamil will agree with him in all his
conclusions. But we cannot help
thinking that the same modish finick-
ing punctilio which weakens Mr..
Curtis opinion on all other subjects,
stays with him ven in the discussion
of the profession of which he is so
distinguished a light.
The word gentleman is perhaps the
most elastic word III the English Ian
guage. Hardly any two people who
use it mean just the same thing. The
ideal which it represents differs as
much in various minds as the minds
and their owners differ from each
other. Indeed it is hard to arrive at
any one solitary principle on which
all agree. or any one limit which any
great number would coincide upon in
defining a standard of gentlemanliness
On the one hand we are bound to be-
lieve that truth is the primary quality
in Natures gentleman, and yet there
comes a time when Ito perjure one
self like a gentleman" is the highest
law of honor. To do justice to all
men, and above all to treat interiors
with consideration, is another cardi-
nal principle of gentlemanlike con-
duct, and yet it is conyentionally re-
quired that a man should pay his
gambling debts. ven though his
shoemaker's baby die of hamilton be-
cause he has not paid his bill. Prob
ably it may be said, however, that
there are two ways of defining a
gentleman; the one SO liberal and ex-
tensive that the man who sweeps the
street crossing may come in under it;
the other so narrow and constrained
that there is hardly in it for
anyone but Mr.. George William Curtis
himself.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
this is the guage that gentleman uses
in handling the question stated above.
As he understands it the word "black-
guard" should be defined as including
every man who did not fit the most
conventional and high flown definition
of a gentleman. Thus we discover
that TO talk about oneself or ones
achievements-in plain English to adj
vertise the wares one has for sale-is
an objectionable violation Of the code
OF gentlemanIy conduct. Equally, ito
rail vociferously" against ones oppo-
nents, ito take an insulting Tone" or
the direction of statements of fact to
prove a special case are in Mr.. Curtis
estimation conduct for which a man
would be ''metaphorically kicked out
of a club
OF course there is something in all
this, properly understood and pro-
perly limited. Shouting for the sake
of shouting is Objectionable; gratui
tous malignity is criminal. and de-
liberate falsehood to make a point is
scoundrelly. But to carry Mr.. Cur
it's ideas 10 their ultimate results and
TO combat, in this age of torpedoes
and rihed cannon, with the reeds and
rapiers .of faneiful chiyalric contest
would, in our humble Judgment, be
rs grotesque in newspapers as it would
in the conduct Of armies.

Training Girls for Housekeeping.
There are the studies that must not
be interrupted; social exchanges to
be duly met, a certain amount ofsew-
ing and reading to be accomplished,
out OF door life in abundance and
enough sleep to insure health, to be
secured.
The most efficient, ambitious mother
is often necessarily absorbed with
other interests than adapting her
spare moments to the intervals OF her
daughters leisure; and the completion
of house duties is imperative and can
not wait for the hand of a novice.
How would it do to begin the house
keeping lessons when the daughters
are five and six2 Teach them TO han
die their toys nicely and to arrange
their playhouses conveniently for
dollie's comfort. As they get older
show them how to dust and
how to sew, using dolls pat
terms, and when the study hours be-
gin TO grow longer let them once or
twice a week do some genuine house
work, like the thorough sweeping of
their own room, or making a certain
kind of bread; the coffee for break
fast; from time to time a staple dish
desserts will easily follow. During
vacation with lots of fun in betweeD)
let them make out the programme OF
two or three days work, submitted
the day before to the mother, to be
carried through by them, with the ex-
ception of emergencies.
Let them contribute a share in the
Inequalities of their home. Who is q
more attractive hostess than the
accomplished daughter, gracefully
and intelligently entertaining guests
in the home of her parents? And how
easily and naturally all her CROWNS
duties will fall into line in the home
that follows that of her maidenhood.

KiplIng IN women.

Rudyard Kipling, although accused
of being a bit cynical in his conversa-
ton and not a woman's man, says
some very dainty, delicate and whole
some things about women in general.
He etches them in his picturesque
stories with quick, direct strokes-in
a delightful, thoroughly masculine,
viriIe way, which somehow gives the
compliment a palatable flavor of sin
certify not unflattering to the average
oma The women may say they
''do not like Mulvaney nor understand
his rough jokes" but no woman could
fail to appreciate this remark:
when a man does a good work out
of all proportion to his pay, in eve
cases out OF nine there is a woman at
the back of the virtue. The two ex-
captions must have suffered from sun
stroke.n
Perhaps this is not so good, but
there's a spice of truth in it.
THE silliest woman a manage a
clever man, but it needs a clever wo-
man to manage a fool"
Here a suggestion for wives to con-
slider when composing curtain lee
tures;-
Speaking to and crying over a
husband never did any good yet"
What woman would ever aspire to
be logical or ever try to bring from a
fine premise down through eonvinc-
ing gradations of argument an I'M
answerable conclusion after reading
this
"a woman's guess is much more ac-
curate than a woman's certainty" /

judges will agree to that.

Not Rest, But Change of Occupation.
As for the feeling that we need rest,
rest, rest, it is often a fallacious one.
1t is action which makes muscle. The
spirit of life enters into us when we
take a vital part in today. Often we
suffer from rest. A change of occupa-
ton is what we most need, as a rule,
and the relief hours of an active per-
son turn out to be very intelligent.
We must rest, but we need not lose
our electricity, which the will, the
thought, san command al all times,
and which ought to be on guard, like
an orderly. to summon us when we
should become alert. Headaches evap-
crate if we must exert ourselves for
those we love, or we almost forget the
pain, which is the Ill thing, and i'll
temper cannot flourish unless we have
idleness in which to reflect upon the
notes belonging to some one else.
With energy leading the way, ennui
lifts from the horizon, and we see
color and distance again. There are
women who labor dav by day in hun
ger and despair. 1t eeins as if others
might labor in comfort and health, in
stead of sitting down to lassitude and
sighs.-HQrOeT'S Bdzdr.

New Circuit Transfer system.

A system has been designed to meet
q new but promising demand for the
use of private telephone and telegraph
facilities by subscribers whose business
with their correspondents at distant
points will not warrant the expense of
a wire for their own use exclusively.
The new system transfers a wire stimuli
taneously at both ends from one pair
of subscribers to another every five
minutes if desired. The service is di-
vided into segments, and If a subscriber
and his correspondent are connected at
one segment they can communicate for
five minutes each hour by paying the
minimum fixed yearly rental for these
facilities.
Should they find that their business
required ten minutes each hour they
could be connected TO two adjoining
segments, or, If preferred, to one seq
ment on each side of the segment cir
Gle, which would enable them to com
municate for fye minutes every half
hour. Other subscribers would have
the line for whatever portion of the
time they arranged for the object be.
ing to accommodate subscribers with
whatever facilities they choose to pay
for.--New York Telegram.

An Apt Rebuke.

There is a Unitarian clergyman who
Is not without power of keen retort,
and who is none the less gifted with
the grace to command his tongue
rather than allow his tongue to com
lnand him. He has in his congregation
one of those women who make pre-
tense of frankness an excuse for rude
ness. and who are given to boasting that
they are plain spoken, when the truth
is that they are simply i'll bred and in
solent. This especial lady is wealthy,
and there are not many in the list of
her acguaintances who dare rebuke
her, albeit they 30 together console
each other for the wounds they suffer
from her tongue by abusing her
roundly.
1t chanced that one evening the lady
and the clergyman were partners at
whist at the house of common friend,
and so successful were they that they
won almost every game for the even
ing. Like people who are fond of hay
ing their own way, the lady was in high
humor over the success, and when the
play was over she pushed back her
chair from the table with the char
acteristic and graceful remark to her
partner:
'You do play a good game of whist,
Mr.. Blank. If you only preached as
well as you play whist it would be a
treat to go to church to hear you"
The clergyman was quite equal to
the occasion. He kept his temper and
his face under perfect control as he re-
piled;
Thank you, Miss Sharp; but you
know anybody can learn to play whist,
while genius and good breeding come
by grace of God. Boston Courier
