A Letter from Lake Michigan.
South Haven, Mich., Oct. 9,1893.
Editoe op the Saline Observer:—
Your readers may wish to hear something about Western Michigan. This
is a nice town of about 1,500 inhabitants
on the shore of Lake Michigan. Nothing but the blue waters and bounding'
waves can be seen as we look toward
the west. Steamers go to Chicago daily
from here. A lighthouse is kept at
the entrance of the harbor. There is
also a U. S. life saving station here.
Its men are kept with strict military
rules, a patrol watch is kept along the
shore day and night; boat drills, and
life saving from stranded vessels are
gone through with in due form and
energy. The men are strong and
robust and are very courteous. This
is a prohibition county and there is
not a saloon in the town, and I have
not seen a drunken man here. Farming is mostly confined to fruit growing,
the peach and grape crop is abundant
this year. I never saw such peaches,
there has been over 20,000 bushels of
peaches shipped from this part daily
for many weeks. The same may be
said of other towns along the lake. I
see but very few sheep in the fields,
and ouly a cow or two at a farm and
those are generally "tethered out."
Money is plenty and no one tells us
how low wheat is, or what they get for
their wool, but often tell how much
their peach orchards are worth. Apples are a failure, pears a /air crop. I
expect to go farther north this week
along the shore. Life insurance is
readily accepted and is well spoken of.

Teaching Morality In School.
The question -whether morality can he
adequately taught in school is one that
has puzzled various American educators. Notably some public school principals have heen inclined to answer it in
the negative.
A triumphant affirmative has, however, been uttered from a quarter whence
one would perhaps least look for it—
France. Eleven years ago a law was
passed in France malring public education entirely unsectarian and taking
away from the clergy the right to supervise instruction. At the same time a
compulsory law for school attendance
was passed, and one making it part of
the teacher's duty to give the pupils
training in morals. With the thoroughness that characterizes the French educated classes the teachers set ahout their
task.
They report that lying is less common
than formerly, and that "bullying, scribbling on the walls and torturing birds
and animals are all decreasing." Moreover, politeness and neatness are on the
increase.
Anything more gratifying than this
prospect or more hopeful for France
could not he recorded. On one occasion
30 public school children were asked
what they would do if they found a
purse containing money in the road if
they were on their way to a fair and had
no money of their own. Out of the 80,
23 knew that it would be stealing to
take the money and use it for their own.
If some more decided and xlfrrsevering
effort in the direction of teachingmorals
were undertaken in our schools, perhaps
our criminal population would not increase so fast.
In December, 1892, the faculity of
the Michign Agricultural College appointed a committee to prepare a course
of reading especially adapted to the requirement of farmers, gardeners, fruit
growers, stock breeders, etc. The
course was outlined and circulars issued. So many expressions of appreciation have heen received, that the
managers have been encouraged to
earerallyrevise the course and take steps
to widen its scope and increase its influence. The State Board of Agriculture have made provision for the printing, oorrespodence, postage, etc., connected with the course, so that the only
expense to members is for hooks.
The primary object of the F. "B. B. C.
is to promote agriculture and kindred
pursuits. The circle offers a systematic
course of reading. It furnishes books
through the secretary at greatly reduced prices. It acts in a limited manner, as a bureau of information on
agricultural subjects. All cannot enjoy
a course at the Agricultural College,
but no one is so situated that he cannot cultivate habits of observation and
study. The aim has been to supply a
a course which shall Ivirnish practical
information and assist those who desire
to secure some knowledge of science
; as applied to agriculture. It is believed
there are many who are ready to embrace the opportunities offered by such
a course.
The course is not limited as to age or
occupation. All persons interested are
invited to join. Old and young,fathers
and mothers,boys and girls,send in your
applications. Farmers' boys and girls,
are especially urged to undertake
systematic reading. You are surrounded by a great laboratory. The fields,
^gardens, orchards and meadows are
you,r class rooms. Interest your fathers
and "mothers. Ask questions. If you
are unable to find an answer by consulting tho index of your book, write
to the secretary and he will refer it to
the proper authority. No oue is too
old to join the circle. Let us all undertake the regular thoughtful reading of
good books, in place of the aimless,
careless reading of newspapers.
While it is recommended that
granges, patrou's lodges, alliances and
other farmers' organizations form circles for reading and discussion, yet the
great value of the course will manifest
itself that those so situated that reading in circles would be impossible. As
the name implies, it is a "Farm Home
Reading Circle." Do not let the coming
winter season pass without taking up
the work in one or more of the classes.
Five classes are offered: Soils and
Crops,Iiive Stoek,Gardec and Orchard,
Home Making, and Political Science.
These classes were outlined by men
prominent in their special lines, and,
so far as it is possible, are arranged
progressively. It is urged that the
course be taken up, as recommended,
and finished.* However, if for any
reason books further along in the
course are desired,tkey may be ordered
and credit will be given for their completion. No requirement is mado as
to the order in which classes shall be
taken up.

"Rejected With laughter."
When the British house of lords voted
flown Gladstone's home rule bill, they
were not satisfied with simply casting
the vote and letting it go. They had to
accompany the act with taunts and derision, and the report made of the scene
was summed up in the three words,
"Rejected with laughter."
In that laughter the British house of
lords sealed its own doom. In.England
a generation ago xmpleasant questionings began among the common people as
to whether the Almighty had really ordained that a country should he loaded
down with a hereditary nobility that had
the privilege of making laws >f or it. A
little timo ago there came together in
London a great body of the people
called the National Liberal Federation.
Before its assemblage in London this
organization issued a manifesto to the
British public hinting that the house of
commons might need to "mend or end''
the house of lords beforeattending even
to necessary legislation on other lines.
That was a sufficiently significant
hint. The resolution unanimously adopted at the convention< declared in so many
words that the class* of hereditary legislators should he abolished. As truly as
the old earth swings onward mats orbit,
just so truly is the day not far off when
the British house of lords itself will he
by the people of Great Britain "rejected
with laughter."

It is some kind of a comment—we
hardly know what, but some kind anyhow—that the parliament of religions attracted to itsjmeetings a greater number
of sneak thieves than any two of the
other parliaments had done. Why was
this thus? The fellows robbed people
while they knelt in prayer and while
they listened spellbound to tpulpiti eloquence. A whole army of crooks invaded, the mystic deliberations of our
friends the theosophists andr_aped_ich
harvest while the faithful were for*the
time resting in Nirvana. Oneirascal,»so
'tis claimed, actually stole the> diamond
ornaments from a lady's ears. It must
have been while she was temporarily
out of her body, floating around in her
astral shape.
Among the many amendments offered
to the Wilson-Voorhees silvers-Tepeal bill
in the senate is one proposed hy Senator
Stewart, which provides for extending
an invitation to Mexico, the>Oenfcral and
South American republics and Hayti
and San Domingo to join txs within four
months in a conference on the silver
question. The object of "the conference
is to have the countries.nataed settle on
a common and mutual silver dollar
which shall be legal tender'far all«debts,
