A FAMILIAR FALSEHOOD.

When a customer seeks to pur.
chase some well-known, widely ad.
vertised, standard article, and the
dealer tries to sell him something
else claiming the offered substitute
to be "just as good" that dealer is
guilty of fragrant falsehood.
II the substitute were just as good
it would sell on it's own merits and
would be called for by customers
instead Of having to be unloaded
upon them by means of falsehood
aud deceit.
The very fact of the comparison
"just as good" proves the claim
to be untrue. We measure up, not
down. We measure the less by the
greater, not the greater by the less.
When, therefore, some unknown
or little known article is ranged up
for measurement by well.known
standard article, the very fact of
such measurement and comparison,
stamps the substitute as lesser
thing than the standard article with
which it is compared.
But this is only half the truth.
By this we prove the claim "just as
good" to be falsehood, but the
extent of that falsehood it is i'm
possible to estimate. "Just as
good' means, in general, adultera-
ton in place of purity, an uncer-
tain quality instead of certain
quality, cheap material of good
material. And beyond all this the
adulterants may be not simply
make weights and cheats, but in
some cases may be dangerous
poisons.
When the dealer says "just as
good" ask yourself "just as good"
for whomi You will find in the
answer to that question the motive
Of substitution, which is the extra
profit paid the dealer by the sale of
the substitutes and limitations of
standard wares. Practically the
dealer says, when practicing the
gentle art Of substitution, "This is
just as good for you, because it is
4 great deal more profitable for me,
and anything is good enough for
you which increaseb my profits. -

THE DANGER OF mlLITARIsm.

General Floyd King, at the time
a prominent figure in Louisiana
politics and a member Of the forty
ninth congress from the fifth dis
trict Of this state, is passing a few
days in the city. The general has
lived elsewhere for several years,
but has not given up his residence
and citizenship in New Orleans.
Speaking to party of friends in
the St. Charles lobby last night, he
remarked upon an editorial which
recently appeared in the Picayune
anent the naturalization Of the
state militia. "That editorial, !"
said he, Expresses the views Of a
deep thinker, and one thoroughly
acquainted with the trend of affairs
at Washington. Some years ago,

appropriation from the United
States treasury for the purpose Of
military education in the state

citizen soldiery. but they amended

The Attributes Jean Paul Dresser in
OF the Teacher. The Higher Lar says
that, aside from native refinement,
culture, and experience, which are
obviously essential, there are four
attributes that go to make a good
teacher. First and foremost is
sincerity, because sincerity is the
bone and sinew of all that is healthy
and wholesome and religious. In
short, sincerity avails. The second
attribute is disinterestedness. Per-
sonal atmosphere is what educates,
to be sure; and yet education, to
be itself, must at same time be i6-
personal in a way,-that is, the
teacher must work directly for the
welfare of his pupil, and not his
own advantage. Desire to enlighten
others in the proper motive of edu-
cation; but this disinterestedness
is uncommon,-more so than we
suppose. The third requisite is
sympathy. If, as far as you can,
you put yourself in the pupils
place, feel his trials and struggles,
his joys and sorrows, you may ap-
preciate and understand: only then,
as a teacher, may you have patience
and charity. To be a child with
to see with their un-
schooled eyes, feel with their tender, |
new-found feelings,-that is the
way to gain their confidence. And,
having gained the confidence of a
child, what can you not do! Fourth
and last, teacher needs enthusiasm,
that larger, diviner sympathy.
in the best sense, is
appreciation of God, his perfect
love, wisdom, beauty, order. And
part of that appreciation is the
recognition Of the divine in every
man, his possibilities of growth
and the desire to further that

treasure and blood. The right re-
gulation Of wealth, so that men
shall neither be punished for being
rich nor be given boundless license
because they are so--this is the
riddle which, through all the ages,
the sovereign peoples have sought
to guess.
In the beginning, the business of
contracting railways was entrusted
to private hands, there being a
natural and most commendable re-
luctance to extend the sphere of
government. 1t was thought that
the doctrine of "laissez faire"
would serve the turn--that COM

prices of commodities are adjusted,
in automatic fashion Nobody out
side madhouse would to-day put
forward this dream of an industrial
Utopia, except for purposes of
badinage; for it is now seen, as in
deed it was always clear, that the
highways of transportation are
natural monopolies, and that the
only question is whether the state
or a few individuals shall possess
the golden privilege. And now,
the beginning of the end has come.
Not only are the great systems of
railway passing into the keeping of
the favored few, but the control of
the luxuries and necessities of life
is also in the clutch of the same
coterie of plutocrats for whom the
trusts are but noms de guerre. Ac-

law, no man may be a judge in his

THE PROBLEM OF THE TIME.

Inc ueVelopnenl OF great proU
lem, half economic and half moral
is of all things the most worthy OF
the philosopher prayerful thought
In the ultimate result, it is the
things Of the spirit that really
count-it is the dreamers that truly
shape the destiny of the race. The
values with which the exchanges
play are not created on the marts
of trade, but are symbols of deeper
realities--seedtime and harvest, war
and peace. love and hate, hope and
despair. AS matter of fact, the
tinanciers are quite sure to miss the
significance Of changes which have
to do with the very springs of a
nations being, for the simple rea-
son that the stress and tumult of
commercial life leave neither leisure
nor inclination for the patient toll
of the creative thinker. On the
eve of the war with Prussia, the
Paris Bourse gave no sign that
France was about to embark on an
enterprise which would test the
heroism of her people to the ut
most, nor did the London Stock
Exchange have the faintest concep-
tion Of the consequences which the
South African embroglio was des-
tined to involve. In the beginning
of our own civil conflict, the shrew-
dest men Of money utterly failed
to grasp the terrible meaning of
death-struggle, in which millions
OF Americans were to stand for
infinitely dearer than
life.
This nation is now confronted |
with a question which, in all coun-
tries and in all ages, has been the
crux of the problem of government.
To the masses of the people, the
question has not as yet presented
itself in the crucial form, but events
