CHILDREN'S MANNERS.

A foreign guest now in Chicago has
expressed at woman's club the
! opinion that the manners Of American
children do not compare favoraDly
with the manners Of European children
| of like social grades. There was some
surprise at the statement.
While the guest transgresscd
propriety in uttering an unwelcomo
truth at social board, it was the
truth. Generally speaking. the
manners of American children VINO
ought to have been brought up more
gently are inferior to the manners OF
European children.
In no well-regulated home of the Old
world does a child of even the poorest
parent sit or think of sitting while it's
elders stand.
In no refined European home does
son or daughter fail to rise when
parents enter the room or hesitate to
offer father or mother, elder brother or
sister chair or other courtesy
suggested by the circumstances.
If elders rise to leave the room
European children hold open the door
until after their departure. European
children Of fine breeding always salute
their elders on entering or leaving tee
house. Difference to age and 70
woman, habitual loyalty and protection
for younger members of the family.
The American child practices selfish
ness from the time it is old enough TO
be pampered until it is able to set out
in life for itself.
The conduct Of American children in
public is convincing mirror of their
selfish uncOuthness in private.
Of course, there are exceptions.
If there were not we would be rightly
adjudged nation Of barbarians.
The pretty habit of the youth kissing
the hands of elders of both sexes pre-
walls in Europe 1t may seem toe
courtly for American ideas. But it
serves to make youth in Europe seem
more gracious, more generous and
more engaging to American observers.

BLACK AND GREEN.

An American writer tells a good
story of his college days. 1t relates to
negro gardener, jolly fellow, with
whom the boys used to have consider
able sport. Sometimes he would floor
them with his repartee.
One day in spring Sambo mad been
burning the college green ia order to
get rid Of the old withered grass. A
freshman came along, and, thinking to
have some fun, shouted:
Say, there, Sambo, you ought not to
burn thai stuff
''Why?" inquired Sambo.
Because" replied the freshman,
it'll make that grass as black as you
are"
We'll. massa," retorted Sambo.
'dat,s all right. Yes dat's all right
Never you fear; dat ere grass II come

! ter, he is still its enemy, as far as he Is
personally concerned, as he has said Oh
several occasions that he would never
| learn to ride wheel as long as he was
able to mount a horse. But he is too
good a soldier to allow his personal
| animosities to interfere with his judg-
| ment
Another leading European military
| authority, who has announced himself
as favorable to the use of the wheel i'll
the army, is General PliOutzensky, a
distinguished Russian soldier. As yet
Russia has done nothing in the way Of
employing the bicycle, but the intro
ductiOn will be made in short time.
| it is believed, nov that the car has had
an opportunity of seeing the work OF
the regular French soldiers on the
wheel
Germany, always on the alert to i'm
prove its military status, has been eX-
perimenting with the wheel for nearly
ten years, but has not progressed as
much as France. The competition be-
tween the armies OF these two nations.
however, will probably do more to per
feet the wheel for military purposes
than anything else. France and Ger
many have the best war balloons the
world over, and the best trained
pigeons for carrying dispatches. Ger
many has the finest kennel of trained
war dogs for use in the battlefield to
hunt up the wounded, and while France
is beaten in this respect. she has the
most practical submarine boats.
Every movement in military affairs
made by the one is taken up by the
other and improved upon if possible
SO it is quite natural to depend upon
the military rivalry between France
and Germany for the perfection Of the
army bicycle
Many modern war contrivances have
originated in the United States to be
perfected in Europe. The most notable
case Of this kind is the war balloon.
To Gen. F'itz John Porter Of the north
ern army in the civil war of the United
States belongs the honor Of first using
the war balloon, yet many OF the Euro
pean powers have superior systems Of
aerial navigation to that employed in
the country where the first practical
test was made.

regular French army. has done more

The Press.



To those unfamiliar with the heal
ing system known as Christian Sci
ence, there may seem to be a lack of
wisdom in discarding the Well
known and long-establiShed systems
of healing by drugs and other ma
terial means, and trusting to a sys
tenn which, to them, is unknown and
uncertain. This is true of our news
paper friends who have not inves-
tigated Christian Science as well as
of others.
We are nevertheless aware that
fair-minded newspaper men, even
though they may not indorse Chris
tian Science, do not wish to do it and
its adherentS injustice. Their nat
ural desire is to treat it fairly, and
give it the credit to which it IS en-
titled.
This suggests the question wheth-
er, if they desire to publish anything
| relating TO Christian Science, they
can occupy this fair attitude toward
it unless they take reasonable pains
to inform themselves IS to what
Christian Science is, what it pur-
ports to be able to accomplish in the
way of healing disease and what il
has actually accomplished and is ac-
comprising.
If, as the result of such investiga-
ton, the newspaper authorities
should become convinced of the heal
ing efficacy of Christian Science, and
that in fact it is achieving healing
results in many cases where all other
systems have failed, then surely
their inherent desire to encourage
the sick and suffering in obtaining
| the greatest possible measure of aid
and relief. would lead them TO a can
did recognition OF the Christian Sci
ence claims and methods. SO fan
from charging to Christian Science
| deaths supposed to have resulted
from neglect or failure TO employ the
ordinary means of relief, they would
take pains t % inquire into the facts
of each case and report accordingly.
Christian Scientists are well aware,
as are others, that all who assume t6
be Christian Science practitioners
are not such. that some of them, in
| deed. are as far removed from genu.
| inc Christian Science as Is possible.
Christian Scientists only ask that
the same fair treatment and just dis
elimination be accorded them, II
this regard, that Is vouchsafed tC
other systems
We are glad TO say that the present
tendency OF the newspapers Is TO Il
| treat US, and we know that this ten
deney will increase as time goes on
Richmond daily palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1876-1904, 1900-03-06

and the benefits of Christian Science
become better known.
To the newspaper fraternity who
desire legitimate aud candid informe-
ton only for legitimate and G nd d
uses, Christian Scientists will afford
every facility IN their power in the
way of furnishing information.
There Is plenty of evidence
to be had, although there are
some cases where. for obvious
reasons. publicity is not desired
by those interested: and their wis 5
should be respected. There are, on
the other hand, mer instances
where the beneficiary is only too
glad to make known the fact of hav-
ing been healed The Christian
Science publications, extending buck
for many years, contain testimonies
from thousands OF this class.
In view Of the whole situation,
therefore, we feel warranted in ask
ing, and do hereby respectfully and
earnestly ask, u newspaper friends
to look into our methods, sat
isfy themselves as to the work ac-
complished and being ac :omplishcd,
and then give Us such a hearing be-
fore the bar of public opinion az is
justly ours.
We especially ask that particular
cases, where rumor would often place
Christian Science in a false position,
be fairly looked into and treated in
accordance with the facts.
We feel that we are but asking
simple justice when we suggest that
the good Christian Science is accom-
plishing should be fairly placed be
fore the world, while careless mis-
representation should be avoided.

Some people do not seem to be
aware shat cards of thanks and obit-
uary resolutions are not news and
that they are of no interest to the
general public. Newspapers charge
regular advertising rates for publish
ing them. Otherwise they would
have no room for other kinds of mat
ter. The charge for printing such
things is made to discourage their
publication. People all have sorrows
and everybody knows that the
stricken are grateful for sympathy
and kindness without publishing the
fact in the newspapers. As for reso-
buttons of respect they are as a rule
a mere stereotyped formality that
may serve a purpose on the records
of societies and organizations bu,
have no appreciate meaning to the
general public.
