HONOR There. seems to be several kinds of honor if one can judge by the differelt ways the press "sizes up" Harry Thaw. For instance, young Mr. Thaw of Pittsbug and New York re cently killed a fellow-being, and he did it in the name of honor. The victim dishonored his wife, therefore he must die. A correspondent in a New York newspaper, discussing the charaacter of the victim of the F tragedy, said he was "the soul of honor." No doubt he was in 2 some respects. In a business way his word was as good as his bond. He would as soon think of robbing his mother's t grave as he would of defrauding t anybody out of a penny. Fin- c ancially his honor was untarn ished. But he would steal the bright est possession a woman can have, and make a joke of it N among his frinds. He would t soil the character of a girl too young to be away from her " mother's care, and cast her adrift on the storm-tossed waters of Bohemia, without a qualm. And the "honor" of young Mr. Thaw and his wife, too. This is an odd institution, also. Mr. Thaw, himself, so far as history goes, has not had a wor thy aim or noble ambition since his birth. He has lived for plea- I sure, has soaked his soul in it t until its keen acid has dyed it t deeply. No doubt, if he incur red a gambling debt, he would1 deem it a point of "honor" to pay it. No doubt he thought itI a measur~e of honor to be able to hold his end up as long as the rest. As to the honor of his wife---let the mantle of charity fall over that toy of base men that has at last caused a tragedy. They don't know the meaning of the word. Never was a noble phrase. in poorer company. Men and women of real honor would never have sunk their souls so deeply in'the mire of human de pravity as these people have. It is such hideous, fantastic notions of honor as these that make men foul and women base. Real honor knows them not. MANUFACTORIES You may take the dullest and most prosaIic town and erect within its borders a busy, thriv- 1 ing manufactiniig institution, where large nlumvber~s of work * men are employed, and a new life is at once imparted to the place. The dull monotony of the past gives wvay to the sound of the steam whistle and the clangor of the shop. The streets no0 longer' look dleserted. People move with an active restlessness. in strange contr'ast to the thmes when no0 manufacturing was carried on in their midst. The1 liveliest towns that we have inl this country are those wholly devoted to mlanufacturing. The drearlest towns, where dry-rot is visible on every hand, are those wherein nio workshops aret to be found. Manufacturing towns arc not only more active. but as a rule they are prosper ous, as Iwell as being far more entevpriing and affording better soial aid coiriei-cial advan [ages, The typical manumfactu 1-ing towns are to be found in Ne v EIgland, in fact; the Con ni)( ticut. river may be said to be hied with them. It is invigor ing to the milnd, as well as to Jl? sight, to travel -fI b rough lhi':se towl'ns, which justly may e termed "beehives of indus bry," An air of thrift and en erprise is every whcre displayed. Th propiietors of the industrial inlsltitutions, the tradesmen, the irtisans and other citizeis ex libit every outward indication >f that contentment and happi iess which arise from a prosper ms condition. There is a reason for this---a ;ocial as well as a business rea ion. First, the presence of vorkshops and factories in the nidst of a community is in it ;elf a source of activity, These nstitutions drawing to them laily their scores and their hun Ireds of workmen, bring life tnd activity, not for a week, or L month, but as long as they are ii operation. But in towns )urely commercial, or in lazy, eaport towns where the bulk of he male portion of the popula ion is at sea, there is a too per eptible lack of life and ambition, I'his can be better observed than escribed. But to one standing a a manufacturing town. at the aorning hour, at noon, at night, vhen the workmen are wending heir ways to and from work, here need be little said to prove vhence the vitality of the town rises. It has ever been thus aid will always continue so. LOCAL NEWS. A dearth of local news of ten eads to murmurs on the part of hose who prize local gossip bove all else, and it is not all the ault of the publisher. Any live >ubliser will not fail to give all he local . news worthy of note, herefore when the local depart nent is short you should not ail at the editor, but remember rou might have committed uicide, got married, quarrelled vithi your neighbor,.stole chick ns, let your team run away, or loneL a hundred .other. things to nake a local item, If a newvspaper should publish urrent street gossip, or the hints Lnd allusions of the best society ni the community it would be istracized and the poor editor orsewhipped or burned at the take. Think a minute of the nean and low things you say thout your townsmen and your 1ear neighbor and amagine how t would look in print. Don't 3riticise the newspapers for what they print, but :give them .treat credit for what "they don't >rint, A paper that centains mne-half the rionsense current niong the best citizens would >e considered unfit to read. E~onest! An experienced teacher says hat pupils who have access to xewspapers at home, when corn pared wvith those who do not, ire better readers, better spel ers, better grammarians, better p)unctuators, and read more un lerstandingly, and obtain a thor mughly practical knowledge of geography in almost half the bime it requires the others. The niewspaper is decidedly an im portant factor in modern life. This will not be disputed by any one who has taken the tropible to investigate the matter for himself.
