Australian Manners.

Every Australian colony, however
strong its aspirations to political indie
pendence, is influenced in what may be
called its manners by the mother coun-
try. Australia began its political life
with as close an approach to an aris-
tocracy as a new country can make, in
the shape of the "squatters," most of
them capitalists or scions of good fam
lilies from England. These men OBJ
tanned very large grants of land from
the government for sheep-farming,
which they managed in the beginning
with convicts whom they hired from
the state, and whom they were permit
ted to fog in case of misbehavior. Their
life, in short, was very nearly that of
the old cotton-planter in the south. with
the "patriarchal" element wanting.
The first work of the new democracy
was to overthrow them, and take their
tracts of land from them. But il did
not succeed, and has not succeeded, in
preventing the formation of an upper
class Of the English gentleman" type.
This is what the successful Australian
still strives to be. He does not become
"a man of the people" in our sense. and
does rot boast of his humble origin and
early struggles as much as our mil
lionalre is apt to do.-E. l.. Godkin, in
Atlantic.

TELEPHONES IN THEATERS.
Ways in Which They Facilitate thu
business of the House.

In the best theaters the use of the
telephone has been most comprehen-
siyely developed. 1t connects the man
ager with all the departments of the
house. Seated in his sanctum off the
box office, he is in equally prompt and
eXpedient touch with the treasurer,
whose life is being made weary with
dead beats and professionals So
Letting the privileges of a perform
ance of which they will oftef be the
most uncharitabe and uncompromis-
ing of critics, and the Cerberus at the
stage door, who has scarcely less oner-
GUS duties, keeping stern front
against too susceptible 'Johnnies" and
taking charge of the current of the
outside business that sets toward the
back of the house from morning to
midnight.
The telephone also enables the man
agcr to speak with the engineer, who
regulates the steam effects on the
stage, the temperature of the stage and
the auditorium, and the general venti-
lation of the building. The electrician
may be consulted when there are fuctu-
atoms or Interruptions in the supply
of current, or instructed to turn on an
extra bank of ornamental lights inside
the house when the sight of the legend
standing room only in the lobby
warns the managerial heart. When
there is big line" at the box office,
the manager may telephone to the
stage manager to hold back the ring
ing up of the curtain, which saves
those already seated from being dis
turbcd when the play begins, and the
late corners from disappointment,
One specially interesting use of the
telephone in the theater is that made
by the physician attending the play,
He leaves his seat number at the box
Office, so that if he is called up during
the performance he may be immediate
ly warned by an usher. He can thus
find out whether the case to which he
may be summoned is urgent, or wheth-
er he can go back and enjoy the rest
of the play.-Chautauquan.

NEWSPAPER REPORTERS
A Defense of Their Reliability

A very common error is pretalen.
that the work of reporters, given =
newspapers, as rule is not entitled T.
respect or eredence. 1t is generall,,
assumed that the reporter writes ehies
ly or wholly to make sensation, or !,
some way interest readers without "a
gard TO facts, while just the reverse
is the truth in all reputable newspaner
Establishments.
1t is safe to assume that the state.

quite as truthful az are the general
statements from the pulpit when the
minister gets outside of strictly re-.
Iigious teachings, and very mneh more
truthful than are the public expires.
sions of most if not all of the Leading
professions. With very few exceptions
the management Of our leading daily
newspapers enforce truthfulness and
fairness as the supreme attributes for
a newspaper writer, and yet it is com.
mon for all who are displeased with any
repurtorial statement to say that ITS
mere newspaper story.
1t is true that there are a few con.
spicuous exceptions to the rule that
governs the reputable newspapers OF
the country. Two newspapers in New
York have brought more discredit upon
the journalistic profession during the
last year than all other causes com.
bined. They have done it by catering
solely to the most prurient tastes of tbs
public and to the most vicious sensa.
tionalism. They are not respected by
the public and should not be, but they
do not represent the progressive jour.
nalism of the country, and they have
been more severely criticised by the
public press generally than by any
other class.
Not only are the managers OF our
leading newspapers entitled to great
credit for the serupulous care they en-.
force on their reporters and CORE.

exact fairness as is possible, but the
public little know the ceaseless care
that is exercised in every reputable
newspaper office 10 prevent the publica-
ton of even the truth when it would be
more harmful to publish than TO sup
press it. There is not a week, indeed
hardly day, that the newspapers Of
this city do not suppress the facts
proper for public information which
would make a most interesting story
solely because it would bring flood
of sorrow to the innocent and helpless
and cast an imperishable shadow upon
their lives. With all the errors neces-
sarily committed in a newspaper office
by reason of the haste with which the
articles must often be prepared, the
public little know with what thorough
integrity the newspapers, as rule, pro

suppressing legitimate and interesting
information. The skeletons of hun

guarded in the newspaper Offices of tht

NATURE STUDY IN MAINE.
II Left an IndeIibIe Impression Upon
the PUPILS

State Superintendent of Schools Stet-
son was visiting a school down in Penn
broke, when he got into the pleasant
mazes of nature studies and asked some
interesting questions about the little
things of the world above us.
How many seed compartments are
there in an apple?' he queried. No
one knew. "And yet" said the state
superintendent, "all of you eat many
apples in the course of a year and see
the fruit every day, probably.
"You must learn to notice the little
things in nature. Now, perhaps some
little boy who has driven the cows TO
pasture every day this summer can tell
me on which jaw the COW has her
teeth?"
No answer. Rather was there blaul,
establishment at last pierced by one
little fellow volunteering the informo-
ton that our COW has teeth on both
jaws, cause she chaws hay all up fine"
II that is so, my boy" replied the
head OF the state schools. I'D advise
you TO sell that wonderful COW with
teeth on both jaws to some museur,
I'm afraid, children, that YOU haven't
studied nature quite closely enough -
You may be sure that the talk of tbe
state superintendent deeply IMPRESSED
the children. They earnestly discussed
the matter at recess time, and the
teacher the next day overheard this con-
rersation in the play yard:
\ little girl got some of her compan-
IONS around her and gravelv said.
