Whv We Should Not Worry

If YOU want a good appetite,
don't worry. If You want heal
thy body, don't worry. Ii you
want things to go right in tour
homes or your business, don t
worry. Women find a sea of trou-
bic in their housekeeping. Some
one says they often put as much
worry and anxiety into a loaf OF
bread, a pie or "A cake, into the
weekly washing and ironing, as
should suffice for far weightler
matters. This accounts largely
for the angularity of American
women. Nervousness, according
to the American Artisan, is the
bane of the American race. 1t is
not confined to the women, by
any means, but extends to the
men as well. Even business men
are sometimes afflicted, SO we have
heard, and so our advice not to
yield to this habit will be most
kindly received by all classes OF
readers. What good does fret
ting do? II only increases, with
Indulgence, like anger, or appetite,
or love, or any other human I'M
pulse. 1t deranges ones temper,
excites unpleasant feelings towards
everybody, and confuses the mind.
1t affects the whole person, units
one for proper completion of the
work whose tritling interruption
or disturbance started the fretful
fits. Suppose these things 60
wrong to-day, the tomorrow are
coming in which to try again, and
the thing is not worth clouding
your own spirit and those around
you, injurying yourself and them
physically-for the mind affects
the body-and for such a trifle.
Strive to cultivate spirit OF pa
thence, both for your own good
and the rood of those about YOU.
You will never forget the step,
for it will not only add to your
own happiness, but the example of
your conduct will affect those with
whom you associate, and in whom
you are interested. Suppose
somebody makes a mistake; sup
pose you are crossed, or a trifling
accident occurs; to fly into a fret
full mood will not mend, but help
to hinder the attainment of what
you wish. Then, when a thing is
beyond repair, waste no useless
regrets over it, and do no idle
fretting. Strive for that serenity
of spirit that will enable you to
make the best of all things. That
means contentment in its best
sense; and contentment is the on
ly true happiness of life. A plea
SAINT disposition and good work
will make the whole surroundings
ring with cheerfulness.- Morning

A Modest Country Editor.

The STATES takes pleasure in call
ing attention to the fact that the
movement to reintroduce hOop-ski-
rts and prevent kissing are as dead
rs two salted mackerels and have
been buried in common grave.
They were killed by the press of
the country. and the girls are very
grateful to the newspapers for the
determined stand they took against
the crinoline and in favor of kiss
ing. A girl would bury her lips
in the mustache of her lover if it
contained a million microbes, and
it is useless for the sanitarians to
attempt to persuade her to forego
the pleasure she experiences when
the mustache tickles the end of
her nose.-N. o. STATES.
Would the writer on the STATES
kindly inform us on whose autho-
rity he makes such a broad state
ment concerning the exquisite de-
light experienced by girl when
she "buries her lips in the mus
tache of her lover" Certainly no
newspaper man can speak from
experience on such n subject.
Their mate modesty would forbid
an experience of such nature
Lafayette Advertiser.
The editor of the ADVERTISER
is entirely too modest to run a
country newspaper. He should
twist his hair into gimlet girls,
don a hoopskirt and brocaded
gown and take charge of female
seminary. So far as the question
of authority is concerned we take
pleasure in saying that it is the
girls themselves. Hundreds of
them have told us of the delight
full thrill that goes through them
when the tip of the nose and the
moustache come in contact, and
they further declare that there are
not words in the English language
to adequately describe the sensa-
ton, which to them however, sug-
gests something like the comming-
ling of a gentle current of electri-
city and stream of fresh honey.
The moustache is no doubt the
brush which transmits the cleo
tricity and causes the nose to take
up the current, the same as in an
electric motor, because a celebrat-
ed female writer on one occasion
said that to kiss a man who had
no moustache was like eating an
egg without salt "a decidedly I'M
pleasant performance. We are
quite sure that she knew what she
was talking about, and that all the
girls who have permitted their
noses TO collide with a moustache,
will rise as one girl and heartily
endorse her statement.-STATEs.

We would remind our Orange friend,
E. j. Doyle of the Loyal American, that
the ominous month of September has
come at last. The "Pope's Irish" are
making acting preparations to celebrate
Ireland's Day at the Worlds Fair and
are arming themselves and going through
military drills in every part of the coun-
try. Their object is obvious, and they
need close watching. The other day at
Marquette, Mich, where 3. j. DOYLE once
resided, the Irish military organizations
we're out in battle array, and that arch
Fenian, Elk Congressman John F. Fin
erty, of Chicago, was there to speak on
the valor and intrepidity of the Irish on
the battlefields of the world. We direct

the Marquette demonstration in this is.

Secretary of the Treasury to purchase
from time to time silver bullion to the
aggregate amount of 4, $4,000 ounces, or
so much thereof as may be offered in
each month at the market price thereon,
not exceeding 81 for 371A grains Of pure
silver, and to issue III payment for such
purchase Treasury notes Of the United
States, be and the same is hereby re-
pealed. But this repeal shall not impair
nor in any manner affect the legal tender
quality of the standard silver dollars
heretofore coined, and the faith and

pledged to maintain the parity Of the gold

TIE Presbyterians of Ireland are still
loyal and true to their native land On
a recent occasion 1856 members of the
Presbyterian church in Ireland sent
Gladstone declaration of principles in
which they expressed gratitude to him
as the trusted leader of the Liberal party
and the unainching advocate of Irish
rights. United Ireland says it is cheer
ing proof of the hopeful possibilities of the
future to find so large a body of thought
full Presbyterian opinion taking sides
openly IN support of the struggle for
self-government. Irishmen owe debt
of gratitude to those manly Presbyterians
who have thus proved true to the tradi-
tions of their forefathers of a century
ago, and who are today champ!oning the
cause which in darker days many OF the
Presbyterians of the North risked their
lives to defend.

The unfortunate man alludes to his

Time was when Pere Hyacinthe would
