ANOTHER MATING SALE.

Never in the history OF Mating sell
ing have Mattings taken the place OF
Carpets to such large an extent as tits
season. We knew of this when we
placed our orders for Mattings last July,
all to be delivered before the lst OF
March. Delay in the voyage landed us
last week ESQ rolls, which we refused to
accept, as in the mean time We bought
from other sources The makers, rather
than to have them shipped back, allowed
MS large discount, which brings these
Mattings far below our usual bargain
prices. You may expect big things.

GOOD AS WELL AS BAD IN
EVERYONE.

| have contended that there are
good tendencies as we'll as bad in
everybody, and that the two ex-
tremes of the social scale are not in
herently SO very far apart in a moral
way. But it is conceded that the
conscience-the moral sense-refects
the individual environment. It will
further be conceded without argu-
ment that the time of Elasticity dur
ing which conscience is forming is
the childhood and adolescent period
of the individual. Now, what is the
environment in which these habitual
criminals are usually reared? Why,
an environment of crime. Jeers and
curses are the first sounds to greet
the infants ears. By example, if not
by precept, it is taught that the OBJ
ject of living is to secure as much as
possible from ones fellows with the
least possible return; that sin con-
sists in being found out; that sue
cessful and undetected crime is the
most laudable of acts. Wax to re-
ceive, marble to retain, that young
mind was craven deep with the lines
of wrong living. A subtle poison per-
meated every cell of its body; what
wonder if it henceforth gave out none
but poisoned thoughts? Itwere con-
trary to all experience to expect it to
do otherwise, for the environment
which counts in moulding us is that
with which we come in immediate
contact during the formative period
of life. The highest thought, the
most elevated morals, of any genera
ton, are, in a sense, the hot house
cultures of that generation. Just in
proportion as they rise above the av-
erage understanding and morality of
the time, they tend to become un-
stable. The lower, the more primi-
tive, instincts lie deeper in the grain
of the organism. Left to itself, the
organism will revert to them as surely
as the hot-house plant run wild re-
verts to it's primitive forms. In the
one case just as much as in the other,
careful training is necessary if the
best result is to be obtained. The
flowers of the human mind do not
bloom on human weeds.-From

DIR. NANSEN's EXPEDITION.

Until full and definite information
can be obtained as to the result of
DR.. Nansen's exploration into the
polar regions it cannot be determined
whether or not his expedition has
brought any new and important con-
tributions to science. So far as is
known it seems that he failed to
reach the pole by about four degrees,
but that he has achieved the proud
distinction of getting farther toward
the goal of his journey than any of
his predecessors. 1t is reported that
when he reached the Seth parallel he
was compelled to turn back because
he had not enough dogs to carry the
sledges.
At all events his journey can hard
ly have failed to be fruitful in secur-
ing some information as to many i'm
portant facts respecting polar life.
Even if he has not been able to ex-
tend the lines of arctic lands and seas
on the map he must have learned
something regarding the nature of
the polar sea, the perils which ex-
plorers must meet in these very high
latitudes and the general nature of
the animal and vegetable life there.
Above all, his success in reaching the
seth parallel will be standing en-
couragement and incentive to the ad-
venturous spirits who are to come
after him.
Possibly it is true that the discov-
cry of the pole itself would add COM
paratively little to our knowledge of
the earth's geography; none the less,
that praiseworthy curiosity which
eventually will lay bare the secrets of
the most remote and inaccessible
corners of the earth will not rest until
it is satisfied. Sooner or later the
pole will be reached, and DIR. Nansen
will take his due share of credit
among those who made it's discovery
possible.-Chiedgo Record.
