SAD AND BAD.

A clergyman at Birmingham, Eng land, thinks he has discovered some
 dishonesty in business as she is done
 in his neighborhood. He has set down
 some of his thinking as follows: Q) Compulsory lying."-One kind of cof- fee does duty for several; one kind of tea for all prices from Is. Cd. to 2s. 6d a pound. Two or three prices asked for
 the same article. a(This applies to rice,
 sago, tapioca, entrants and sugar; the same sugar offered in blue or white pa- per, as the case may be, at different
 prices.) @ voluntary lying."-The man is behind the counter to sell goods. Ninety-nine governors out Of hundred do not care what means he uses so
 long as he does sell. Short sales mean eventually "the sack" (S) A man told me he had known, as an extreme case, ten prices asked for the same thing. The same article is taken away and brought back again, to be offered at a different price, it being represented as of better quality. (D A draper's as- sistaut, encouraged by commissions to goods as 'all wool" when they are not. (5) The same kind of saul sages offered at 10d. a pound and Sd. a pound to delude customers. (6) Wiltshire bacon'' from pigs that never saw that country. CD Pictures sold as "old masters" that have been "faked.'' (S) Furniture represented as "old oak" Tapestry soiled and stained to appear old. (9) A clerk ordered to make out two invoices of goods sent abroad, one for the agent giving the real value to sell at, the other for the customs officer on which he would charge duty.
 Sad enough and bad enough. How thankful we ought to be that all this is in Birmingham, and not in our own be- loved New Haven.

CHEERING UP.

Blessed be all, of whatever age or
 condition, who carry the oil of good
 cheer, who are in the cheering up''
 business. If We only knew how many
 sore hearts there are around us we should be more kind and patient, and
 more tender in our speech. For in-
 stance, this which was told by an ob- server; pS ople were cross and not at all kind that day;s women were i'll tem- pered and snapped at the conductor ' of the trolley car: it is so easy to snap when 1t is muddy and drizzling, and 1 you din't feel just right. A big, red raced man cama panting and putting up on the car steps, and soundly be- rated the conductor and the whole railway company because his peremp- tory signaling had. not been seen as 1 promptly as he thought it should have been. A little maid sat opposite in q blue Tam-o- -Shanter, and took it all in with her grave, round eyes. She mad bunch of nodding pinks in her hand, and she made you think of flower, somehow. Children are such initiative things! It was not at all sur- prising that she had caught the spirit of the Othsrs; her little brows drew together, and her dainty fee, spurned at a big brown bundle that happened to touch the tips of her little shoes.
 How dreadful crowded this car is!'' she said, in disgusted tone She gave a good scowl to somebody hang ing by car strap whose loose sleeve happened to touch the tassel of her cap, and so brushed it trifle forward. Her mother, bsing in the same state of mind, did not notice her little air of Vexation. By and by the conductor came around, and in edging his way along from seat to seat happened to hit the large doll which she carried
 Ihere," she cried angrily, for all the world like the older people around her;

A VISIT TO A TURKISH SCHOOL.

Let us visit together one of the se- lcondary schools for girls, of which there are sixteen in Constantinople,
 These schools are called Rushdle. A
 Rushdie school is one just above the primary grade, corresponding practical ly to as5 condary school. Yet Rushdie schools for girls are still very ele- mentary and differ also from the secon- dary schools of other countries by having more handwork. 1 am sure
 that there is no other city in the world in which education for girls has advan ced to the stage of nominal secondary schools where visitors are received with such leisurely and deferential politeness as in Constantinople. All is leaid aside in order to entertain us
 and the four teachers attended us in a body, with their hair adorned with

be served first in an anteroom on the walls of which we see quaint, inter estng pictures Of Mecca and Medina.
 We then enter two large rooms with laaiesd windows, opening into each other, where over one hundred girls are assembled, the oldest being about fifteen. Each girl has spread her finest plEce of embroidery on her desk for our insepction, some of the pieces be- ing very elaborate and well finished.
 The girls follow us with their bright eyes as we pass from one desk to an- othsr, and finally we are seated before the blackboard, with the help of which the accomplishments of the pupils are freely displayed. They can multiply small numbers; they can read and write; and they can chant we'll from the Koran, which is the most pictures que thing that is taught in these school All the girls in the school have Kor- ans printed in gilt letters, and a pretty young girl with sweet voice steps forward at our request to chant one of the suras. But while formerly, the Koran was the only reading book in the schools, we notice that there are now readers quite modern in char acter, containing harmless stories that young children can understand, and from one of thsse, a chapter called The ood Neighbor," is also read Further investigation shows that the course of study includes not only acre. full teaching of the Koran, sAbrabic, and Persian, and some arithmetic bur also practical lessons in composition, geography, history, and elementary science. Girls of the middle and low CT classes go to the Rushdie schools, and the latter are sometimes patroniz- ed even by the higher classes.
 In all the schools, boys and girls have the opportunity of committing to memory the whole of the Koran, aI- though this accomplishment is not so freqent as it~was formerly. A boy or a girl wha has done this is called HafiX, and boy Hafiz is often invited to chant in the mosques. Although it is not the general custom for girls to chant in public, they sometimes do it under the age of thirteen. Thus, for instance, young Hafz might be told to appear at St. Sophia at certain hour every day during Ramazan to chant the Koran, for which sh2 would be paid perhaps 300 piasters (about$13) for month. It may happen that a boy or 6 girl becomes a Hafiz before the age of twelve The Rushdie schol that l have described has one educat- ed Hafiz.-Forum.

CANADA ALL RIGHT.

Canada, or at least part of it, is feeling better. Having withdrawn her army and navy from Canada, says the Toronto Sun, England now Hooks evil dently to the tacit alliance with the American republic, which she has for some time been assiduously courting. Her confidence is well founded. Blend ed as the interests of the people of the United States are with ours, and large as are the investments of American capital here, interlocked, too, as are the territories, the American government could never look with indifference on a European invasion of Canada. Sem timent of the strongest kind would conspire with interest in warning off the invaders. Canada is perfectly se- cure if British Imperialism will leave her in peace"
 Of course. And if British Imperial ism presses too hard on Canada she can cut loose from it, and come under the more benevolent and benefcent United States Imperialism.

Sunday Baseball

To Editor of Journal and Courier:
 Ministers probably abuse the privilege
 that is given to every one to address
 the p~ople more than any other set of
 men-but the American public is used
 to hearing, reading and laughing. Con- Isequently, when the Rev. MT. Mossman, purVeyOr of the only correct morals and ethics, takes up the burden which he l assumes is cast upon him, by writing a letter on Sunday baseball, the people are indifferent. Let him spout, proba- bly thinking that it might make him more lacking in correct regard for oth-
 trssif he keeps his illogical thoughts in. Look at this precious bit of humOr: And is there any doubt, from a moral
 point of view, as to whether or not the Sabbath is as well worth saving as the saIoons?' What have saloons to do with the question?
 The case is a simple one for him who wishes to be fair and moral, and is briefly this: Isn't it just as moral to play baseba on Sunday as to go fish ing or play golf? It is apparent to most thinking people that it is far bet ter for morals and the proper teaching Cf Christianity and respect for the Sab- bath that ministers should not show any unfairness, and it is irreconcilably unfair to prosecute baseball players, and not golfers.
 It is legally wrong to fish, play golf. keep saloons open and play baseball on Sunday. If the saloonkeepers start a crusade against violations of the Sum- day laws, and are themselves careful to respect the law and the moral rights of othsrs, and the churches, through their start similar reforms against Sunday violations, ignoring clubs to which some of the reformers belong and which openly and fiagrantly violate the law, then the saloon, in this particular case, is more moral than the church and would be better worth saving than the Sabbath, if the saving of the Sab bath is only to be accomplished through gross injustice and moral wrongs.
 The church to-day if 1t is to be use- full in directing mankind, must show more clearly than ever before that it lives in the spirit of Jesus, for dog natfc theology is accepted by compar- atively few, whether members of tht church or not. QUIDNUNC.

Seeks Immigrants to Replace Negroes.

Arthur Roscower of Goldsboro,
n. G., is in Denver on q mission
of inquiry regarding how Colorado
has progressed. He has been
commissioned by the governor of
his state to visit the North and
West to report ON the industrial
situation, having reference more
particularly to emigration. North
Carolina has determined to be rid
of the Negro and to employ in his
place the new citizens of the re-
public. The races from the South
of Europe are not wanted.
"This question Of drawing the
immigrants from Europe to the
Southern states is attracting a
great deal of interest, not alone in
North Carolina, but in a number
of the states that have been class
ed in the "black belt" said Mr..
Roscower last night. "At the
next session of the legislature in
in our state law will be passed
providing for a commissioner of
immigration who will be stationed
at Ellis island. New York. His
duties will be to select the best
homeseekers and induce them to
settle in the state of North Caro-.

groes are worse than useless and

have decided to get rid of them.
