The Curse of America.

The curse of America is it's lack Of
discipline. In the family, the school
and the college youngsters grow up
to do as they please. There is a
mawkish sentiment which is evidence
of degeneracy and which prevents the
old-fashioned, wholesome enforce
ment of authority among children and
youth. 1t is not good for society and
not good for the individuals.
In every family and in every school
it is desirable to have some stringent
regulations, if for no other a
than having them complied with. The
best foundation for character is the
habit of submission to authority, and
the time to acquire that habit Is in
childhood and youth. None can ever
become so competent to wisely direct
as those who have first learned to
obey.
The ~looseness and instability in
American character has it's beginning
In the ~looseness and instability of
family discipline and in the insistence
of silly and inefficient parents that
the same %looseness of discipline shall
be carried into the schools, from
which it easily extends into the col
leges. The fledgeling in college will
turn out a much more useful member
of society if he is made to behave
himself or clear out.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

THE NEW YORK EDITORS.
Frec-and-Eas Remarks About Them
From Kentucky.

Why, the successor of Charles A.
Dana-Mr. William M. Laffan-would
be more at home, and cut a great
er figure, in the Office of Figaro, in
Paris, than in the office of the Sun,
in New York; an artist and a Judge
of art; exquisitely accomplished in
the classic lore of many lands; an au-
thority in pictures, poetry and music.
But what does Mr.. Laffon know-we
shall not say ~care--about Hell-for-
Sartin and Yuba Dam, not to men
ton the boys around our own Confed-
crate Crossroads? Nothing, nothing
at all, though the Courier-Journal
has tried in vain these many moons
to teach him!
Mr.. Charles R. Miller, of the Times,
has drunk too much of the waters of
the Kennebec and the P~enobscot, to
reck much about the waters of the
Tombigbee and the Caloosahatchie-
to say nothing about those. of the
Ohio and the Mississippi-whilst Mr..
Bennett, the younger, Mr.. Joseph
Pulitzer and-as we have been told
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, spend most of
their time abroad!
This will account for the failure of
newspapers thus controlled and con-
Quoted to interpret the residue of the
country west of Buffalo and south of
Jersey; politically not even able to
reflect the elmer lights" of Greater
New York. What is Tammany Hall
except a rebuke to the daily newspa-
pers of the Great Metropolis? What
was the Hearst-Parsons dicker (uuite
to forget the Murphy-Connors dicker)
but another? When did any of them
control a State convention-or come
within a thousand miles of forecast
Ing a national convention-or elect a
Mayor of New York since Gibbs was
hung, or cen since Greeley died?
They are always left at the post, as it
were. Somehow, the event comes out

MISUNDERSTANDING
La Sale, a Lumberman, Tramps
II Miles to Invite Arrest.
Assailant Has Wilderness Hotel Keep
er Lock Him in a Room-Victim
Upset Table at Meal.

Watertown, N. Y.--Leon La Sale
is now in custody at Cranberry Lake,
in the Adirondacks, after having tel
ephoned to Nylie Hyland, Sheriff of
st. Lawrence County, that he had
murdered Charley Jonchas, a French
Canadian, who worked for him in a
lumber camp on the Grasse River, st.
Lawrence County.
Come to the woods and arrest
me; l have murdered a man. was
the message La Sale called over the
telephone to the Sheriff's office in
Canton, fifty miles away, and he gave
the message after having followed a
wild trail twelve miles from the lum-
Der camp to the nearest telephone
station, at Windfall Settlement, a
clearing a few miles from Cranberry
Lake. La Sale committed the MUIR
der shortly after noon, and a few
minutes later hit the long trail to the
telephone. Arriving at Windfall he
got into communication with the
Sheriff and the District Attorneys
office, and telephoned the nearest
constable, Herbert Deane, who lives
at Cranberry Lake Settlement, ask
ing him to come and take him in
charge until the arrival of the Sheriff.
Following this preliminary prepara-
ton he directed the hotel keeper in
Windfall to lock him Up. Constable
Deane took La Sale to Cranberry
Lake Settlement late in the after
noon, and he is locked up in the Jail
there awaiting the arrival of Sheriff
Hyland.
La Sale had charge of a lumber
camp in the Grasse River below Gran
berry Lake. Upward of twenty
French Canadians were working for
him in the camp. Sunday was their
holiday, and some of them went out
to the clearing, got a sack filled with
whisky bottles containing whisky,
and the orgy was on. La Sale at
tempted to control it, but was not
successful. Affairs reached a climax
at the dinner table next day, when
Jonchas failed to heed La Sales
warning and overtu rned the long
board table, throwing all of it's con-
tents of pork, beans, beef and black
bread into a heap on the floor. Words
ensued. Jonchas is said to have
threatened to strike La Sale, and La
Sale pulled his gun and fired the
shot which killed the FrenchmaE.

who, having once looked into the
face of each of those soldiers that
made up the grand army which Ma

the soldiers name, would know him,

twenty years later? Think of a gen.

the muster roll of an army of 1O0,-
600 men. Such, however, would
seem to be the fell power of eye and
memory which belongs to Detective
William P. Sheridan, of Mulberry

that he has filed away in his brain,

CARLETON READS TO SAILORS
Famous Poet Entertains Bluejackets
on Board Warship New Hampshire.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-On board the bat
tleship New Hampshire, in the Brook
Ign Navy Yard, Will Carleton gave
one of his famous readings the other
night. 1t proved to be a most enter
tanning affair and the 800 guests en-
joyed it immensely.
About 100 of the employees of
Everywhere, the magazine which Mr..
Carleton edits, were first treated to a
dinner at the Y. M. G. A. Navy Aux
iliary Building. Then the party
walked to the Navy Yard.
On the ship the sailor guests soon
assembled and all we're seated be-
tween decks on long white benches.
Everything was as white as soapstone
could make it, and except for the
shining guns and the steel walls one
would hardly have believed himself
on board a battleship. The enter
tainment was begun by a solo sung
by Miss Ada A. Borden, after which
MI. Carleton gave his talk and read
ing. Laughter and tears mingled in
equal profusion as the poet read "A
Baseball Story" ga Song For Our
Fleets" Greater America" Fare
well to Gridley," etc., etc.
At the close all joined in singing
patriotic airs and the ship fairly rang
with the voices of the gallant jackies
and the fair maids.

Street Cars For Shanghai.

The problem of tram traffic in a
Chinese city presents peculiar diff
~culties, in view Of the crowded condi-
ton of the streets and the lack of ia
miliarity of the people with time saw
ing devices generally. The construc-
ton of a new tramway system in
Shanghai has been practically COM
pleted, although the current will be
turned on at first only in sections
where the inexperience of the Chinese
drivers and conductors will be less
likely to have bad effects. Upward
of twenty-three miles of tracks have
been laid, and the tram routes have
been divided into eleven sections,
over which the passenger is entitled
to travel-the first class fare for one
section being only two and a half
cents. Each a is divided into two
compartments, not on a colCr basis,
but rated according to fares paid. The
cars are lighted by electricity, and
notices posted in English, French and
Chinese warn passengers against
smoking, splitting or bringing dogs on
board. A notable feature is the en-
tire absence of advertisements on the
ears.-Zion's Herald.

it's old habits, although 1t may have
reformed temporarily.
with my system the entire struc-
ture is changed. 1t is a different
structure entirely, and the child in
order to get back into it's old habits
must not merely 'backslide,' but build

ference between the two?

my school this year.. The first will be
art, with special attention to music
and sculpture; the second, therapeu-
tic curing of incurable diseases, like
spinal troubles, particularly; the
third, remedying backward children
who are deficient in some of the
senses, as in color perception or in
not hearing accurately, while the
fourth will be the selection of those
dozen children whom l will choose
this summer, and the educating of
them along the lines given in my spe-
cial educational system.
"These particular twelve I will ed
ucate free of charge; the other pupils
l will charge for, as in other institu.
lions of educational character.
Methods Will Be Radical.
"My methods of work with these
children will differ radically from the
ordinary methods of teaching. For
instance, you have observed, doubt
less, many a man in the business
world whose school training didn't
extend beyond the seventh or eighth
grade perhaps, but whose mental pro-
cesses and accordingly whose bust
ness methods were on a better plan
and were much better systematized
than those of the man who had had
more years of school and college
training.
Nov, when he was a child that
mar of little training but of excellent
ability would have been the child we
would choose for our school,"
DR.. Landone has been connected

on preparation for war.

Trust" was a good enough motto to
excuse lack of military preparation.

vres for this summer to show how

squadron in the Pacific has led, it is
understood, to the attaching of much
more Importance in Washington this
year to the maneuvres centring about
IL SOdoL oClClOCo VI liz AIldlllC oOo-
board.
Orders issued governing details of
the maneuvres prescribe a minimum
of formal ceremonies and a total alb
sence of merely spectacular exhibi-
tons" Practice marches have been
ordered, in which infantry will cover
200 miles and cavalry ESQ miles. The
exercises will be carried out in a pro-
gressive manner, beginning with
small bodies of troops and ending
with the entire command. These ex-
ercises will comprise periods of at
tack and defense; periods of advance;
real and flank guards, and control
work; periods of outposts and control
work, to be followed by general man
euvres. 1t is understood that the
State troops will not be required to
do all of the work prescribed for the
regular organizations.

Insect Professions.

Among the curious sights some
times witnessed by entomologists are
the professions" formed by the lar
a of a moth inhabiting pine-trees
in some parts of France. They march
in single file, and the leader spins
a thread which is added to by it's
followers. A procession consisting
of ia of these larvae was seen last
April in the woods near Arcachon.
The professions are formed both at
night, when the creatures make ex-
cursions from their nest to feed on
the young leaves, and in the daytime,
when they descend to the ground to
seek a place in the sand where they
may burrow and pass to the pupa
stage. A kind of fly was observed
attacking the procession above men
toned, to lay its eggs in the marching
Iaryae.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Dr. Leon Ell
bert Landone, who has purchased a
100000 residence property in Holly
wood, where he will establish aschool
in which to accomplish in child Gull
ture what Luther Burbank has done
in horticulture, has met with the diff
iculties that invariably beset reform
ers, but ignores them. He is about
to work out theories regarding child
culture that he hopes and intends will
result in the material benefit of the
human race. To a World correspond
ent he said:
There r four steps in evolution
airy development which are true in
both the human and plant life. Bur-
bank recognizes the gradations in his
plant work, as did Stanford in the
breeding of fine horse stock. Even
so, they figure in the human race in
the development of children.
These four steps or gradations
are as follows: First, variation; sec
ond, sex crossing to carry on the
qualities by heredity; third, selec-
ton, and fourth, cultivation and de-
velopment.
Or. Jordan, president of Stanford
University, recognizes these same
steps in a recent work.
"As far as concerns the first two
steps in evolutionary development,
those called variation and crossing,
they have been attended to already"
explained DR.. Landone.
No Artificial Marriages.
"This country of ours is the most

nationality on the face of the globe.

And so ] contracted the coffee

Equally famous with the man in

moon is the hare in the MOON" says
the author of n of the new spring
books on astronomy, Mr.. Garrett P.
~Servfss, in his Astronomy With the
Naked Eye" which the Harpers have
only just printed. 1.-THE original is
a Buddhist legend. The god SAX
kria, disguised as a Brahman, pre-
tended to be starving and went to
the animals for help. The monkey
got him a bunch of mangoes; the coot
picked UP a fisherman's neglected
string for him; the fox stole him a
pot of milk. At last the god ap-
preached the hare. I have nothing
but grass said the hare, and YOU
can't eat that But your flesh is
good suggested the pretended Brah-
man. The hare assented. Them
sale the Brahman, I'll kindle a fire
at the foot of this rock and you Jump
off into it. That'll save me the
trouble of killing YOU The hare
assented again, but as he leaped from
the rock the god caught him in his
arms, and then drew his figure in the
moon as a perpetual reminder of the
excellence of self-sacrifce."
