ETHICS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
NOT less than six hooks have been

ETHICS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Not less than six hooks have been
written in the last year upon ethical
training in public schools. Some of
the arguments in favor of teaching
morals in schools are based upon the
assertion that the homes of the coun-
try can no longer be depended upon
for the inculcation of moral lessons
and this too upon the flimsy pretext
that the complex civilization of city
life in a change from the home to
apartments, the ease of divorce
and the greater freedom given
to children have loosened
the home tie and impaired the moral
example of the home.
1t is also asserted that the press of
business has changed the custom of
fifty years ago in the loss of the habit
for parents to converse with their
children on moral subjects and the al
most total destruction of the family
altar. 1t Is therefore urged that the
children be taught ethics in the
schools. No one can object to moral
lessons being taught in the schools,
but they will insist that they shall be
taught by the example of the teacher
which GU be made effective i'm so
many ways rather than by ENGRAVING
upon the public school doctrinal les
sons according to the belief of the
teacher.
In the first place the examples cited
in support of the theory are unfair,
because they are not true. We can
not agree that parents are any more
remiss now'than they were fifty years
ago in conversing with their children
on moral subjects or that tine family
altar has become obsolete. 1t may be
that parents do not teach the same
radical puritanical ideas that they
did fifty years ago, that the
theatre was the open doorway
to hell or that pleasant
conversation between neighbors on
Sunday was an objectionable sin, but

we do assert that as the essentials OF
religion have grown and spread
among the people, the family, the
Sunday school and the church have
been quite as active in their inculcation
and we claim that the world is better
than it was fifty years ago in all the
essentials ola Christian life. Broth
erly love has broken down the old
barriers, the white wings of charity
have lowered over more homes and
higher, intelligent, moral sense
is more diffused and governs
in all communities to
greater extent than fifty years ago,
If the degeneration of the home is
true, then the public school is not the
place to commence the reform. Let
the church take hold of the homes
and reform them into schools of ethics
for the children of the family. 1t
would be impossible to eng raft ethics
as a distinctive branch to be taught
in the public schools. Any such at
Tempt would destroy thu schools. Be-
sides the objection to any connection
between church and state, no two
wo I'D agree in regard to the code of
ethics to be taught.

And Then John Davis, a Memphis Bar
tender, Finished Mixing q Cocktail.

MEMPHIS, Dec. 25-Tonight Ed
Ryan entered the saloon of John Shea
OH Main street. where John Davis,
barkeeper, works. Davis and Ryan
have had several fights in the past
month in which each was considerably
injured. On entering the door Ryan
pulled revolver aud began shooting.
Davis saw his reflection in mirror
behind the bar, wheeled around and
returned the fire. Each fired six
shots and when the smoke cleared
away Davis was found completing
the cocktail upon which he was at
work at the opening of the trouble

THERE are two immigration hills.
One bill will be presented to the sem
ate by Mr.. Chandler after the holt
days and the other will be presented
in the house by Mr.. Stump OF Mary
land. Mr.. Chandler's bill prohibits
emigration from every country but
South America for one year. Mr.
Stump's bill provides for foreign in
spection and consul certificates.
Neither bill seems to meet general ap.
prevail and it is likely some co mpro-
mise will be effected. Some such bill
will pass both houses in January in
order to fully protect the country from
the Infection of cholera. This Is a
necessary measure and it is gratifying

the emigration laws with permanent
restrictions are not regarded as neces.
sary by our representatives in Con-
gress.

quite common half a century ago.
Men who belonged to the Southern
armies and passed through the fire OF
war established such reputation 1or
courage that it is useless for them
either to seek such satisfaction for
wounded honor or to accept chal-
lenge. l
Not being concerned ABOUT
their reputation for courage gives
them courage to refuse to yield TO
barbarous code of so.called honor. IL
requires the highest kind OF courage
to refuse to fight duel, and as men In
the South generally have that kind OF
courage, the custom has gone happily
into disuse for certainly sit Is more
honored in the breach than the OBJ
servance.n Since men have lost that
timidity that made them slaves to a
cruel and infamous code, they nave
found that it is possible to live upon
such high plane that difficulties are
not met and ale unnecessary. Man
hood is higher now than it was
when such a code held sway, and the
true test of mans courage and man
hood is measured by its ability to
control himself. A n an who cannot
control his own temper and gives way
to its violence is no man, he lacks all
the essentials of gentleman. The
best evidence of this higher man
hood in the South is the absence OF
the code duellO

THE SALVATION ARMY.

Another wealthy and beautiful So
ciety young lady, Miss Van Orden OF
New York, has laid aside her dla-
monds and costly gowns and joined
the Salvation Army. She made her
first appearance on a Salvation Army
stage with a tambourine in her hand
Sunday. Modestly and with the gen
tie voice of an educated lady she told
of her doubts and difficulties and was
not satisfied until she gave up every
thing for God and then kneeling, she
invited the vast and fashionable con-
gregation to join her In prayer,
The tambourine and drum, the street

sion and persecution of the early

it will come to naught; but If
it be of God it cannot be
suppressed" or words to that effect.
No man has any right to condemn the
methods of others. If those engaged
in the Sa walton Army are earnest

THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.

Senator Sherman has given notice
tn the senate that he would call up
the Nicaragua Canal bill at an early
date and would endeavor to secure
prompt action upon it. The new Dill
is substantially the same as was pre-
sented to the last congress, including
a proposition to guarantee oonds Oh
the company by the United States TO
the extent of 500 100000 to aid in the
construction of the canal.
The new bill contains provisions
which increase the Obligations
of the company as well as
the security of the government
In the second section the real and per-
sonal property of the company, ana
its franchises, are included IN the IL
abilities. In the third section pro-
vision is ma je that all stock heretofore
issued shall be called in and Cancelled
and that all bonds issued shall DE re-
deemed and Cancelled and all obllga-
tions on the Canal company satlshed
before the act takes effect
The bonds are made redeemable al
the pleasure of the United States
after, 1908. A mortgage must be exc
cuted to the United States by the COIL
pany, containing provision Tor q
sinking fund for the payment OF the
bonds at maturity, the rigb: of fore
closure on the part of the United
States beginning with any default OF
the company to pay interest or ID
other respects before the canal is put
in operation.
There are other provisions in re-
gard to stock issued by the company
The stock is limited to 500, 600, 900.
Twelve million dollars is to be retain
ed by the sompany. The amount
stipulated to be delivered to the gov
ernments of Nicaragua and Costa
RIGA according to the respective con-
cessions, and the remainder to be IS
sued to the United States, full paid
up and not subject to assessment,
and which are to be voted by the
president of the United States or his
proxy and but three directors are to be
selecte d from the holders of the stock
other TT an that owned by the United
States. The last section provides that
ten directors shall be appointed by the
United States and not more than five
shall be appointed from one political
party.
This is very important scheme, in
behalf of our commerce but with the
example of the Panama canal transac-
tions fresh before us it becomes doubly
important to guard against all frauds

Give Your Trees A Fair Chance.

Many orchardists, in their natural
eagerness to receive paying dividends
for the labor and anxiety in bringing
their orchards to productive state,
allow their young trees to overbear.
Caution should be used in this re-
gard, for nothing exhausts the vital
ity of the tree so much as early over
production Especially is it a tax
upon the resources of the tree to ma
ture the seed (natures only !care in
fruit production) and it follows there
fore that vigorous thinning, or in
deed the removal of a very large pro
portion of the fruit from trees in
their early struggles of production,
is most iudicious A few specimens
only should be allowed to adorn the
tree in its first efforts, no matter
how high the market price for fruit
may be at the time. Fruit Grower

Good for Poultry.

Glover is becoming recognized
article of food for fowls. While half
a ton of wheat produces less than a
pound of lime, white clover contains
over thirty times as much and red
clover about % times as much. Clo-
yer will supply all the lime the hen
requires, and as a flesh former and
albumen producer clover contains IL
percent and corn fraction over 10
percent. 1t is, therefore, equal to
corn or wheat, pound for pound, as a
fesh-forming nitrogenous food. Corn
however, contains sc percent of heat
elements and clover 30 percent. OF
the phosphates clover contains seven
times as much as corn, ten times as
much sulphur, ten times as much
magnesia, four times as much soda
and fully as much dry matter. With
SO complete food as clover hay Zone
especially adapted for producing
eggs is it not plain that the farmers
for years back have been feeding hens
in the most expensive manner, and
depriving them of the very food most
essential for their success?
Unfortunately for the hen she pulls
her food from plants Give hen a
mess of clover hay. thrown into the
yard loosely, and she can not eat it.
She must have one end of the stalk
fastened to the ground, as she cannot
pull off the leaves if the stalk yields
to her efforts. She can 90 into the
field and pull from the standing grass
but after it is cut she can not eat it
except at the risk Of swallowing
pieces several inches long, which may
cause her to become crop-bound; but
if the hay is cut iuto short lengths
she can pick it up the same as sh'
does corn or wheat.

PAINTINGS THAT WORK.
Wonderful improvements Have Been
Made In Mechanical Toys.

"The toys which small boys desire
nowadays are of the sort that will
really work and do something" said
dealer on Pennsylvania avenue to
Washington Star reporter. For ex-
ample, here is Il typewriter that works
very well indeed for the price, which
is only 81. A magic lantern that will
afford Il great deal of amusement can
be had for the same price. For IS |
will sell you an excellent practical
camera.
Stationary steam-engines for toys
are now made in wonderful variety
of patterns aud at surprisingly low
cost. This one sells for 81. 1t is rs
good as could have been bought ten
years ago for 81, This, you will OBJ
serve, is steam pile-driver in minia-
ture but complete. The engine raisos
weight to the height of about
eighteen inches, and let's it fall about
once every fifteen seconds. You can
drive carpet-tacks with it admirably.
This is a steam-crane which picks
up objects with hook, and carries
them about. Here is steam pump
which really pumps water, and
squirts III through hose. lhe prln-
ciple is just the same as that of the
ire-engine.
But, in my opinion, none of these
toys are equal to this locomotive en-
gine, which does everything that n
big locomotive can do. One puts
water in the boiler and il is heated by
means of this spirit lamp with three
Wicks, which AS YOU see is slid in be-
low.
There is even an automatic safety
valve which is lifted in case the steam
pressure becomes too great. This
locomotive, rs soon as it has got up
steam, will run on circular track for
half an hour without any additional
supply of water or fuel. Together,
with the track and this handsome par
lor car, it only costs 81. Every infant
should have one."

Farm Notes.
Eggs in Winter.

If you wish to get eggs during the
season of high prices keep only early
hatched pullets and hens that have
molted early.
Feed the hens by I Il, m. ON equal
parts of ground oats, bran and corn
meal mixed with the scraps saved
from the table or with boiled small
potatoes, eabbages or other vege-
tables. Feed this warm and let the
fowls have all they will eat, At noon
give them wheat and barley one day
and buckwheat and oats the next.
At night give them "A generous feed
of whole or cracked corn.
AT least three times a week feed
meat. Scraps and odds and ends of
meat for fowls can be got from the
butcher for a small sum. Prepared
meat can also be had of poultry sup
ply dealers. 1t should always be
cooked before feeding it.
Green food must be provided. The
fowls like cabbages and will eat them
raw with avidity. Give them plenty
of bones either in \ pulverized state
mixed with the soft food or in a gran
ulated state so that they eat them as
they would grain. Supply them with
grit to assist digestion. A convent
ent and cheap form of this is in the
shape of ground oyster or sea shells.
And keep fresh water always before
them.
The droppings should be removed
at least once week and coal oil
poured over the roosts and dropping
boards. Once a month clean out the
nests. Burn the old material and
put fresh hay, straw or excelsior in
its place. Open the windows to the
house and give it an airing every
morning, and at night leave the ven
tilators open little way
