DEMORAITZING

F. The effect of the falsehood habit turns
upside down the whole moral and order
of a family. 1t provokes. annoys, tor
lures, misleads. 1t breeds hate ard
destroys harmony and love. If you wish
for love, never deceive. A man who finds
his wife is cOncealing a part of the truth
suspects more, and worse. 50, too, when
the wife finds the husband untruthful.
1t is the worst possible policy. simply
as policy. Society suffers as badly as

is, when found cut, a hundredfold worse
than if the truth had been known at

HOW a LIE REcoMEs FACT.

i 1t is one Of the curious arrangements
OF nature that q person who has told q
lie after telling it several times, sets to
believe he has tod the truth. That Is,
he has lied himself cut Of the truth, ana
turned a lie into a fact. The damage of
the occasion may not be great to the
party to whom the lie is told; but the
effort on the one who tells the lie is
Overwhelmingly bad He forms a habit
of calling black white till he becomes
truth blind-he can nos tell lie from a,
fact. 1t dees not need much foresight
TO see that the evil will intensity, and
the whole character be tinctued with the
effect
The woman who lies is worse than the
man who lies. There is nothing i'll the
structure of society that makes lie
necessary or excuses falsehCod in either
man or woman. But the woman is so
much closer in its early years to the
child that she is bound by every consid-
GRAFTON of honor and decency to crea ae
in it and about it an atmosphere OF in
compatibility and truth.

TIE New Theory.

We have been taught, and hsye
taught our children, that America
was discovered by Columbus in 1892
Now it appears that the discovery
was made as early as the year 40 A.
ID. Recent discoveries, among the
ancient archives of the city of Pekin,
made 10y officers of the allied army,
and received by the State Depart
ment at Washington, allege that FIVE
missionaries crossed the Pacific from
the eastern coast of China until the
Western coast of this continent was
sighted, then sailing southwark
landing in what is now Mexico, near
the peninsular of Youcatan.
This, if true, will solve a mystery
which has puzzled students of Amer
lean history for centuries, and will
change, materially the histories, and
possibly the maps, which are used in
our schools.
