CareIessness in Behavior.

The traditional freedom and natural
ness of American social relations have n
charm and value when under proper
training they are made to promote in both
boys and girls mutual respect and unaf-
chaperoned companionship of young poo
pie which so shocks foreigners results
for the most part in virtuous affections
and happy marriages. But this is some
thing far different from the license and
disregard Of decorum which is becoming
alarmingly prevalent, not among the low
or orders in the social scale, but in fam
lilies which are considered intelligent and
we'll bred. The manners of young men
have degenerated. They will act and
speak in the presence of women in Il way
that would not have been tolerated gen
Grafton ago, and young women who are
unquestionably without evil intent will
conduct themselves as no woman could
have done few years ago without seri-
GUS damage to her reputation.
There is evidently need of revival OF
the questionable art of bringing up chill
dren. Boys and girls are growing up tc
be lawless. Lacking respect for author.
ity and conventions, they easily lose re.
spect for the virtues which authority and
conventions seek to guard. Laxity IL
homes and schools, contact under unfa
vorable conditions of young men ant
women in business life, the rush, self
ishness and bad manners of our crowded
streets, shops and public conveyances
all tend to the destruction Of that good
breeding which commands respect ani
nurtures modcsty.-New York Tribune.

Men with Small Capital.

1t has been objected by some that tech
meal education should not be fostered
with public funds because the fields for
Its employment are being rapidly pre-
empted by the trusts and gigantic COM
binations of capital in manufacturing and
other productive technical industries,
Frequently we are told that the man
who has only skill and small capital is
being put out of the way of business and
success by the ovcrshadowing combines.
Yet it should be plain to any observer
that there are hundreds of profitable tech
meal industries TINT the trusts have not
captured and, in the nature of things,
could not consolidate and control. The
profit to be made from them in any given
locality is too small to engage the Gu
pidity Of trust and yet is sufficient to
amply repay the enterprise and industry
of a small operator. Now inventions are
creating new industries almost daily and
In the exploiting of these the man with
technical education and small capital
finds plentiful opportunities for steady
occupation and satisfactory returns.
We find from the census that in 1890
there were 0,977 manufacturing estab.
lishments in the city of Chicago. There
were 19,203 in 1000, or an increase of
nearly 100 per cent. But the average
