POPULAR IDEALS wITHER.

One by one have our popular ideals
been destroyed. First, we learned
with great deal of secret grief. that
Santa Claus. the dear old fellow who
was the idol of childhood's days. had
no existence save in the kind hearts
of our parents; then Jack-and-the Bean
Stalk, and the Goose that Laid the
Golden Egg also withered before the
advance of years. Following in quick
succession other ideals were swept in
to oblivion
Then We were told that the story Of
William Tell. while heroic and romantic.
had no foundation in fact. Next the
Man in the Iron Mask was knocked to
the four winds by some low fellow who
had been delving beneath the surface
and had discovered that the face-cover
ing was nice soft velvet instead of cold
and cruel iron. Again, we were told
that Napoleon never used the words:
THE old guard dies, but never surren-
ders;' that "StonewaII" Jackson never
uttered the words that were ascribed
to him and which caused him to be
re-christened on the field of battle
up guards and at them" also has
been proven not to have been shouted
by the Iron Duke on the field of Water
loo.
All these and many more popular and
pleasing ideals have fallen cold and
dead before the remorseless hand of
the deliver after truths, but the latest
is the worst
A professional hygienist has been
getting in his deadly work on the
succulent oyster, and bids fair to prove
that the idea that the bivalve lust
about digests itself is all wrong. He
says that the oyster is three and a half
hours in digesting, and as an after
theatre supper is about as suitable as
lobster salad topped off with hot
mince pie and plum pudding!

AN EQUAL MORAL CODE.

The ladies of Washington, D. c.,
have manifested their approval of the
moral attitude of Judge Jere Wilson
in the Breckenridge trial He laid down
the principle that there must be but
one code of morals for man and wo-
man, a sentiment which all pure wo-
men will endorse and which most men
claiming to be respectable will agree
to in word if they do not altogether in
deed.
Her and there we find dissent from
this rule, and among those who con-
tend for the contrary is our esteemed
Provo contemporary-the Dispatch.
which says:
The verdict cannot be in any sense
made to do service as a vindication of
womanhood. God forbid it. 1t is said
in justification, that there should be no
distinction between the man and the
woman in such matters That's a
beautiful theory but it is unreasonable
and 1t is against nature A man NAV
err but still his home, his wife and her
babies be as pure as the snowdrifts
upon the summit of the mountain
peak, but if the woman errs the home
nest is befouled. The blood of her chill
dren contaminated at the very foun-
tain head This is the difference and
upon it are based the social laws
which hold the woman the guiltier of
the two.
There is a certain amount of truth
in what the Dispatch says, but it APP
pears to misunderstood the rule and
also the situation. 1t is not argued
that when a woman sins in the way
Miss Pollard fell the consequences are
not more serious and evil than those
which follow male unchastity. But the
principle is enunciated that purity is
required of both sexes equally. Why
should there be a moral code for women
and none for man? Or why should
there be requirements as to marital
fidelity of the wife more than of the
husband
In the case under consideration one
Of the parties was unmarried, the
other married. If there is any differ

A NEW KIND OF CRUISER.

|
| People who are interested in mari
time matters-and there are quite a
number of them in these parts, al
though there is not much cruising or
even boating on the lake-will prob
ably regard with some curiosity the
style of cruising boat recently made at
Quincy Point, Massachusetts, for w.
A. Harvey, man who finds pleasure
| in sailing through weather which
seems like labor to the majority of
amateur shippers. His idea was to
make comfortable, staunch, cruising
boat, with as much room as could be
handily put inside of a craft of such
small dimensions and speed was the
last requirement. The designers there
fore planned the interior and then pro-
ceeded to build boat around it, The
result is boat of the most wholesome
appearance.
1t is twenty-one foot water line
''knocka bout" with two mahogany
sideboards, and following is a descrip-
ton given by the Boston Transcript;
She is 80 feet over all. Z feet 10 inches
beam, feet 6 inches draught, will
carry 4,4OO pounds of iron on her keel
and $50 feet of sail The cockpit is
Wen arranged, the coaming being set
directly upon the deck, 16 inches from
the well, thus giving a high cockpit.
which will drain easily. The standing
room is feet by feet inches. Co
ing below, the cabin is to be finished in
mahogany and white paint, making a
light and at the same time a rich inte-
rlor Here is head room of feet 9
inches, which would only be possible
in boat built with composite ribs as
she is. By this construction at least
three inches is saved on the setting of
the floor timbers. Down the middle
OF the cabin runs an aisle, and on each
side sofas fifteen inches wide, which
can be pulled out at night to a width
of twenty-five inches and then leave
passage through the cabin. Back of
each sofa is wide Shelf and at the
after eEd of the sofas two long lockers
Tor hanging up clothes at full length.
At the forward ends of the sofas are
the sideboards of mahogany surmount-
ed by small lockers. Forward is the
galley, separated from the cabin by a
portere. Even the galley or the
greater part of it, is under the house,
and has ample room for man to sit
while he attends to the preparat ton of
his mess on the oil stove Here will
be the ice-box, dish racks, folding
wash basin case, and general stores.
Another excellent idea of the own
er's is the adoption of the pinnacle
arrangement of the old fishermen. 4
small light of glass will be let into the
after wall of the house just above the
locker on the starboard side, and Just
behind this will be set the compass.
with lamp for use in night sailing.
BY this plan the man at the helm al
ways has the compass where he can
see IT.

man has no more moral right than a
woman to engage in surreptitious and
unlawful relations that the sentiment
uttered by Judge Wilson receives ap-
plause.
A young man who seeks union with
virtuous girl ought to be as morally
and physically pure as he requires her
to be. A husband who demands the
fulfllment of the marriage contract by
his wife ought to comply with it him
self. That is the moral code brought
out in the trial that has attracted so
much attention, and it is "a beautiful
theory because it is right and there
fore ought to be maintained in prac-
tice
But the Dispatch seems to have
somehow obtained the idea that this
was a. criminal trial in which both
parties were at bar instead of a civil
case against the man only 1t says:
eve can have no complaint of the

and if so how much the plaintiff was
entitled to by way of damages. The
jury could not give the defendant ten
years or one day in the penftentiary.
1t was not penal question Breckin-
ridge was not to be punished, nor was
Pollard to be rewarded And she was
not on trial at all. Why then cry, "Out
upon that jury?"
The woman is punished, though not
by process of law She is barred out
of society. A reproach will be upon
her through life. Her own sex will re-
pudiate her as unclean. But the man
will sit in Congress. He will probably
be reelected. He will be received in
high life drawing rooms. With some
people he will be lfonized. 1t is
against this inequality that just people
rebel, and it is to establish an equal
moral code that those who approve of
Jere Wilson'S utterances express their
sympathy with his sentiments. We
believe they are right and add our
voice to their applause.

TREE INSPECTORS.

Pleasant Grove, April IL, 1894.
To the Editor of The Herald:
Dear Sir-Will you please inform me
in your next issue who has the ap-
pointing of tree inspectors? Does each
county court appoint for it's own
county or is it done by the territorial
officer? If possible answer in your
next issue.
AN OLD SUBSCRIBER.
Our friend has not been diligent in
his reading of The Herald or he would
not have had occasion to ask this ques-
ton. We have published the law and
also instructions as to its fuIflment.
The County court in each county is
required to make the appointment of
inspectors, and the Probate Judge to
make a proclamation as to the time
and manner of spraying trees. In most
of the counties it may as well be taken
for granted that every tree in every
orchard is more or less infested with
fruit pests. and the spraying be made
general.
The Herald has advised people own
ing orchards to club together and get
a spraying machine for use among the
purchasers. in rotation, or to make ar
rangements with some person owning
a machine and who understands what
is needed to comply with the law, to
provide the ingredients and do the
spraying at. SO much per tree or by
special contract as may be agreed.
