Worry.

If you find yourself disposed to
give way TO that mind-weakening,
happiness-destroying disease of
worry, try to recuperate your nerv-
Gus system. Go to bed and sleep
your imaginary troubles away. Ii
you can not sleep, it rs a sign that
your blood is sluggish; your nerv-
Gus system is used up; your mus
cular system has had little or TO
employment. Then do something
to tire the muscles and start the
blood. Do not fail into the delu
sive snare ot "gentle exercise" that
is admissible only for invslids.
Whatsoever you do, do it with al
your might. Take tramp on the
hills; saw wood: ride horseback
give fifteen minutes to an Indian
club or a pair of not too heavy
bumb bells; run. jump; anything to
exert your body and stop the exer-
tion of your mind, to set your mus
cles into exercise and give your
nerves a rest Get into a glow anC
perspiration, and make yoursel
feel thoroughly healthily tired
Then take a bath, get on clear
clothes, eat light meal with 1
good appetite, and 60 to bed; and
ten chances to one, you will 60 tC
sleep, and wake on the morroS
cheerful and hopeful, prepared tC
laugh st you former melancholy.

An Electioneering Trick

ectioneerine tricks was practices,
some years ago in Indiana. A
young lawyer was a candidate for
he State Legislature. One week
before the election his defeat
seemed sure. All sorts of report,
nad been circulated against him.

and threw the grocer out of til,

The Quiet Way the Best.

The best ad ninisJratiVe officers
are those who make their authority
felt with as few words as possible,
and never display it unnecessarily.
Men who are competent to com
mand- born leaders" as they ar,
caIled-have no occasion to exac'
obedience from subordinates, for NO
one ever thinks of disobeyiDg them
while those who do not possess the
faculty only display their weakness
in their efforts to appear important
and impressive. The story is tola
of q man who had large numbe
of pigs in a pep near his house,
and made it his practice to go out
every evening and "stir them up"
with a club, to the great annoyance
of the pigs and the disturbance
of the neighbors. One of these re-
monstrated with him one morning,
asking him why he treated his pig
in such a cruel manner, "Becanse,
he answered, 81 want them TO know
| am boss" There are many men
in every community whose idea Of
executive ability is exactly on par
with this. They buster and splurg,
and stir things up generally. con
vinced that such foolish parade OF
authority will convince those un-
fortunate enough TO be under them
that they ARE "bos>; whereas the
fact is thai it serves to convince ali
concerned that they are fools. And
the time comes at length when
those who are over them find 1t out
and they are dropped. The quiet
way isthe best. after all.

Magnificent SpeculatiOns.

Taking Tor its text the statement

of the world, the New York Heraln
draws telicitous picture OF the tu-
lure of the United States and Of its
-reat commercial metropolis, New
York. The change, it say s, in cur
rent coinage OF the world is one
which was inevitable. IL has been
coming for a good while. Nearly
twenty years ago the London Times
wrote: England tOtters at the apex
Of her greatness, and il our civil
war mad not interrupted our career
OF prosperity we should have bt
This time beaten England in every
market the world over. But the
world only delayed what was sure
TO come; and as soon as our false
currency system was rec.Ified our
vast resources began at once to tell
IN our favor. 1 hat American geld
coin should begin to take the place
OF all other CONS as the standard
of the world was natural result a.
soon as we ouTseive, returned to the
use Of gold. The world accepts al
a matter of course that cola in
which it settles its ballances-thaJ
is. It's most convenient and its cheap
est medium tor such settlements;
and the fact that American gold il
taking the place of English gold,
denotes that Ame-icais is the credi
tor nation once more" Europe, n
nations are using our coin to pay
US what they owe us.
The Herald continues:
The Spanish dollar was long the
coin OF the world; the English SOW
ereign drove it out, because Eng
land became the predominant com
mercial nation, and pr, clsely n the
degree and to the extent that we
recover and enlarge our foreign
trade American gold will take the
place OF English. Bat the natural
advai tages OF the Uni Ell States are
SO great, so overwhelmingly great,
It they are compared with any Eu
ropean country, that our predomi-
nance is only question o! time
and reasonably good management.
We have almost limitless unused
natural wealth. The last TWO years
have opened up the agricultural
and mineral lands whose unsuspect-
ed richness has surprised the world,
and this is but the beginning of o
development which will go on for
years.
We have no vast and costly
standing srmIes or iron-clad fleets
to maintain. We need not fear at

security against invasions are ours
so long as we remain united peo
