The child who becomes a liar is the one who lives in 1 perpetual terror of reproaches, humiliations or strokes. The lie for him is a supreme resource. - This is no less true among adults.

The old saying has it that lying is the parent of all vices. This without doubt is true, but the inverse would be still more true. Habitual immorality leads to habitual lying.

Washington, July 27. Army and navy officers are wondering whether Commander Richard Wainwright, su perintendent of the Naval Academy, will be called to account by the Pres ident for an article of which he is the author and. which appeared in the Na val Institute. Speaking of the Santiago sea battle, Superintendent Wainwright first refers in glowing terms to the late Rear-Admiral Sampson, emphasizing his phys ical and mental courage. He then says: His crowning opportunity was off Santiago. He forged the material. His hand wielded the 'weapon and struck the blow; the enemy was crushed. The same calm, grave man that stood day and night on the deck of the New York; asking questions, seeking information and issuing necessary orders, received the flags seized from the burning and sinking Spanish vessels. No exulta tion, on excitement; he was accustomed to succeed in his undertakings. Who is not proud to say: "I served under Sampson??" The man is dead, but his works will live while sea power re mains an American necessity. The picture of Sampson calmly re ceiving the flag or the burning Span ish vessels is moving to the emotions. Some latitude is permitted in speaking of the dead, but the picture would have been more true to history if he had said "burned and sunken" instead of "burn ing and sinking," for the act of de struction was in the past tense at the time Admiral Sampson "calmly receiv ed the ,flag," etc. The President and Secretary W. H. Moody both being away from Washing ton, it cannot be ascertained what ac tion will be taken by the department, but the position taken by the President in dealing with others who have per sisted in discussing the Sampson-Schley controversy warrants the assumption that Commander Wainwright will be disciplined either by "reprimand" or "admonition." r..r! n'v,,, nil it first rpvvp thP nToarno nf ,Hr.,1Q oftJwi worked by one man.

The idea is the commencement of the act. The act is merely an idea following its normal course. This is readily seen among indivi dual without will power, the impulsive, those hypnotized. It suffices that an idea came to them in order that they translate it into words or action. Now with every young child this primitive condition is to be found. AH its senti ments prolong themselves into atti tudes, movements, cries, words. Its body is the constant and perfect ex pression of its inmost being. Such is the startling point: sincerity, absolute transparency. How, then does a child become a liar? In this passage from primitive trans parency to deceit a certain number of stages may be distinguished. The child discerns the lie little by little; then he perceives that lying is practiced by those about him; then he decides that the lie is useful; then he habituates himself thereto. The first moment is the discovery of the lie. The child is conducted to the threshold of lying, and his conductor is play. Froy ylap to lying he passes by an insensible transition. This is how: To play is to create; to play is to live in a world of dreams, in a world of illusion: it is to substitute fiction for reality, for a reality which conforms too meargerly to the desires of the child, a conception most seductive. This is on the borderland of lying. For example, a little girl who plays doll declares that her puppet is a baby, that it grows, begins to talk, catches cold, etc. From this to lying there is obviously but a short distance. Sometimes, in listening to a child, we are caught ourselves. For example, a child comes to us to tell us that a 1 companion has struck and broke one of his toys. He wishes us to believe the story until the" moment when he bursts into a peal of laughter and tells that it was all "just play." Doubtless, if we look at this from a point of view of morals, there is a chasm between such a play and a He, since the evil intention is wanting. But from the psychological viewpoint that is to say, from the point of view -of the mechanism and nature of the facts the difference is almost imper ceptible. In the one and the other there is an affirmation contrary to the truth. Thus, naturally, the child is led into the discovery of lying. He prolongs his game one day; he perceives that we are the dupe of his fictions; he is amused with our credulity. The" lie is revealed to him. He knows that it Is possible to lie; that he has a means of deceiving people; that, if he finds real facts disagreeable, he can substitute for them a pleasant fiction. The second stage is learning to lie by example the, revelation of the lie not only as possible but as real, as practiced by the persons surrounding him; above all, by his parents them selves. I do not here refer to families where the parents are liars. Even in the most honest families, wher sinceri ty is loved, it often happens that the child catches its parents in flagrant abuses of the truth. There are a multitude of little lies tolerated which we treat as pardonable. We tell the domestic to say we are not at home when we are; we compliment people to their faces and criticise them when they have gone; we say we are happy to see someone and directly af ter speak of having been annoyed. No more is necessary. The example has been given. , - We lie to the'ehild himself; we are pressed by his many embarrassing questions, and, in order to free our selves from the embarrassment, reply with what is frequently a 'falsehood. Some fine day he discovers the truth, and the evil is done. The gravest case is when the child is taken as an accom plice in a lie or when his mother tells his, "Above all, do not tell this to your ay. j. xi lo i me ruin or an morality. The third stage is the first encounter of: the child with society the first shock with social life. The child who tells all he knows, sees and hears, all that he would better have left unsaid is called the "enfant terrible." His pa rents do not tell . him to lie, but they tell him it i-s not necessary to tell all that he thinks. This is extremely ser ious, as It teaches the child that he cannot show himself as he is. This is the revelation of the lie obligatory. Above all, among his comrades he quickly learns to dissimulate, because he is a naive expresses all his joys, pains, desires they make spbrt of him r-nay, worse, they abuse his confi dences; the hopes, projects which he has confided to them he some day sees used.againlt him.s ; : Thus the impossibility of living without lying is revealed to him. So sciety excuses certain- forms of lying which are inspired by a feeling of politeness-, modesty, shame. " ' The' child becomes a liar because all ' the world about him lies. The distinct USES OF THE LEMON. (From the Boston Travelor.) Juice of the lemon is one of the best and safest drinks for any person, whether in health or not. It is suit able for all stomach diseases, liver complaint and inflammation of the bowels. Lemon is used in intermittent fevers. It will alleviate and finally cure coughs and colds, and heal dis eased lungs. Its uses are manifold, and the more we employ it internally, ,the better we shall find ourselves. It will yet supersede quinine. Rev. John P. Sanders Writes: Dr. H. Mozley, Atlanta, Ga.: I have been relieved of a trouble which greatly endangered my life, by using Mozley's Lemon Elixer. My doctor declared my only relief to be the knife, my trouble being appendicitis. I have been permanently cured and am now a well man. I am a preacher of the M. E. Church South, located in the town of Verbena, Ala. My brother, Rev. E. E. Cowen, recommended the Lemon Elixir to me. Ship me a half dozen large bottles C. O. D. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. Cured me of a long-standing case of chills and fever by using two bottles. J. C. STANLEY, Engineer E. T. Va. & Ga. R. R. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. Cured me of a case of heart disease and indigestion of four years' stand ing. I tried a dozen different medi cines. None but Lemon Elixer done me any good. TULES DIEHL. Cor. Habersham and St. Thomas Sts. , Savannah, Ga. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. I fully endorse it for nervous pros tration, , headache, indigestion and constipation, having used it with most satisfactory results, after all other remedies hnd failed. J. W. ROLLO, West. End, Atlanta, Ga. ' the thinning of a line of infantry, or the advance of a column of soldiers is simulated. BALLON TARGETS USED. Balloon targets are used to represent lines of sharpshooters lying in a trench. Inflation keeps them erect, and when punctured by a bullet they soon collapse. The agility of sharpshooters is represented by a variety of targets, which can be made to pop up and down out of the trenches and from behind embankments at will. Other movable targets are attached to sleds and drawn over the surface of the ground by steam power or by horses. . Cash grat uities, badges, and other prizes are giv en enlisted men for proficiency in tar get practice, and in the case of the offi cers a sword, saber, or a fine watch is presented. The wrar in South Africa has caused the British service to revise its musk etry regulations, and the repprted changes show in a nutshell, what the struggle with the Boers has taught. The new regulations abolish volley fir ing to a great extent, provide a system of firing behind cover, and encourage individuality rather than consolidated machine work. A new system of field firing has been adopted at Aldershot. Targets are placed at the crest of a long hill, and a battalion advances to take the supposed position of an en emy. A peculiar part of the arrange ment is that the advance is the whole time subjected to shrapnel fire, which is simulated by the explosion of small, harmless bombs, suspended over the heads of the dummy men in the fort or laid at their feet. Dummy guns in the "enemy's" position are fired in the same way. All over the ground are coverd pits for the use of umpires, who, by means of mirrors, can watch the advance in all its movements. RUSSIA'S NOVEL METHOD. A picturesque feature of the work in the Rusian army is that a certain num ber of selected men of good constitu tion and keen sight are trained in hunting wild animals, the object being to have specially trained men for diffi cult and dangerous duties in war. The great center of target practice work in France is at Chalons, where every year groups of hose batteries and regiments of field artillery are sent to constitute on almost a war footing the whole artillery and ammunition train of an army corps. In little Switzerland skill in the use of the rifle is much sought after, and even before they enter the army Swiss youths have attained quite a degree of proficiency in shooting. Military remounts have been shown to be a factor on which success in war depends in a large measure. Great Britain purchased 300,000 horses for the South African war; Germany has 130,000 horses in her army; France has 142,000, and Russia 175,000. As high as 500,000 more, It is stated, would be re quired to bring any one of the coun tries mentioned up to a war footing.' In Austria-Hungary all the horses pur charsed for the army are procured within the limits of the empire. There are nearly four million horses in the country, and in case of war all may be taken from their, private owners; and returned on the dawn of peace. Horses and officers are given a system pf su perior training by loosing a deer and following it in an exciting chase over all obstacles capable of negotiation in the course. All horses and mules for the French army are bought in open market. MOUNTS FOR GERMANY; The production and improvement of horsese for the German army j .have been for a long time the object of ac tive vigilance, and the result accom plished, it is said, is that the Emper ior can justly claim beter bred mounts in his army than are found in that of any European country. Aside from the private breeding stables, Germany has organized government breeding estab lishments, where are kept both stal lionc and mares. j " In normal times the British regular army has had no mounted troops abroad, except in South Africa, (India, and Egypt, and for these it has been the custom to purchase locally, : The horses are acquired by purchase in the open market. . It is said that in case of need for mobilization for home defense Great Britain would need about 180,000 horses,, and that she is at a loss to know, where they could be obtained. of handsome chiffon ruching, double and box-plaited, and as elegent as one can buy. Sew the lace Lio the chiffon ruching and the result will be the neat est of little shoulder capes. And, by the way, the shoulder cape is called the shoulderet. For the neck you haye the necklet, the rosette, and the shoulderet. Those things are used much in the decoration of the neck in gowns. . Another easily managed cape for the sooulder, not long enough to fall to the belt line, by any means, is made of knife-plated chiffon, half a yeard in depth. This is sewed to a band of white satinribbon, which is, in turn, gath ered upon a piece of box-plaited silk muslin, just long enough to go around the neck and tie under the chin. Many of the silk lounging robes have straight, deeply hemmed skirts, and the upper garment is cut like a Greek peplum or like a farmer's smock, with the difference that the modern garment fastens down the left side of the front. With these lounging suits, especially if they are built on the kimono plan, goes the Oriental straw slipper. Women onwho have straight, well-formed ex tremities dress them, for family view on piping hot days, in all-lace lise hose, and then put their toes into the points of a pair of straw Hongkong sandals. It is the next coolest thing to enjoy the blessed privileges of the barefoot boy. And then, if you want to be very Japanesey indeed, you do up your hair with Geisha pins. Evelyn Howell wore two of those pins in her hair at . the Horse Snow one day, only hers were exquisite affairs of jade. The pins worn in keeping with the Jananese, siesta robe of white carved bone. They are built primarily on the same plan as our ordinary black hairpin But they have a long,, delicate, and more or less carv ed horn that sticks out from the. curved end of the prong. $Veek-End" and Sin da.y Excursion Tickets on sale Saturday and for forenoon trains Sunday, good to return follow ing Monday, from Charlotte to the following named points, at rates as shown below: Portsmouth, Va., $7.90; Jackson Springs, N.
