self.Distrust.

Probably self-distrust is one of the
readiest causes of failure. A man who,
however much he conceals the fact from
observation, feels in his heart of hearts
that he is not capable Of doing the work
that he has undertaken, is almost sure
to fail, says a writer in the London
Spectator. Ordinary diffidence as to
ones powers is quite another matter,
and by no means necessary impede
ment to success. Such nervousness is
often purely superficial, and merely
means that the anxiety to succeed is SO
great that it causes reaction. The
dangerous self-distrust to which we are
abiding is much more negative quail
,ity, and generally has Joined to it q
strong strain of Indifference. But when
a man does not think he will sue
coed, and also is doubtful whether it is
worth while to succeed, or rather
whether it is not matter of indiffer-
ence whether he wins or looses, fail
ure is almost certain. This stultifying
Indifference to failure is much more
widely spread than people generally
imagine. Because failure seems to the
average man SO horrible, producing, as
it must, humiliations and miseries, re-
morseful feelings and regrets of every
kind, the average man cannot imagine
any human being Indifferent tot it. Yet,
as matter of fact, there are men whose
hearts become so indurated that they
do not mind either failure or it's con
sequences. They would endure any
thing rather than rouse themselves to
the painful effort of resisting the march
Of what they call fate. They will float
with the stream OR tide, but, come what
may, they will not row a stroke against
either.

One Of the largest contracts recently

One Of the largest contracts recently
made for paper was closed last week
by one Of the leading paper mills in
Wisconsin. The paper goes to a WALL
paper manufacturing concern in Kan
sas City, and will require 1870 cars, each
containing 10 to 10 tons, to complete
1t. These cars, If coupled together
would make a train considerably over
mile in length. This paper is to be
used in the manufacture of wall paper,
and it is estimated will produce $780,.
600 rolls of the finished goods, an
amount almost impossible to conceive,
es 1t means single strip of paper 20
tnohes wide and 10000 miles long, or
long enough to reach two-thirds of the
way around the globe. |

The town Of Erie, Pa, is all torn up
over the methods of collection agency
in that city. The agency, after trying
various methods to collect the accounts
placed in its hands, got out some big
posters, bearing the names and ac-
accounts of the debtors in large lett
ters, and stuck them up all over town.
The residents were indignant, and have
compelled the authorities to prosecute
the company for the methods employed

] A Burlington (Ia.) teacher, who has
just been discharged from the public
schools, was in the habit Of furnishing
his pupils by compelling them to crawl
on their hands and knees after book
thrown by him and bring 1t back to
him like dog. Another favorite trick
was to compel pupils to write on the
blackboard: II am a fool" and sign
their names. The writing was left on
the board for several days, in sight of
oil the school, for the humiliation OF
The pupils. AS soon as the school au.-
thorities got wind of Dutf's peculiar,
methods of discipline, they made an in
yestigation, found the charges to be
true, and promptly bounced him.
