The Don't Worry" movement was sug- gested by the publication of small vol- ume with the title Don't Worry" and was inaugurated by group of earnest people fin a private parlor in New York city, on the evening of Nov. 3, 1897. It Is probably the first movement ever start ed whose constituency at the outset in- cluded all the people in the world; for ev- cry one worries, and no one wants to.
 The meeting was held at tho home of Miss Georgiana I. s. Andrews, lady who has for a number of years been lecturing and teaching along the line of spiritual emancipation.
 of people who wish to emancipate them selves from their slavery of anxiety and fear. It may be large or small. Any family may agree to resolve itself into a don't worry circle, and many are doing SO. On the other hand. members need not even live in the same place.
 There is one circle of three members, two of whom live in New York city and one in Michigan. They study the scientific prin- ciples of the subject and help each other by correspondence. Usually members live in the same town and have regular meet ings.
 Circle Work
 But overcoming a perniclous habit Is only small part of the work of circle Hence the usefulness of a circle is far from being transient. An Emerson club in New York city has adopted the circle idea. giving as their reason that don't worry .s transcendentalism reduced to practice" The pastor of church in New York has turned is midweek meeting itno a Don't Worry Circle. He writes: To the Editor:

The Disappointed Boy Travellers

From the Union Springs Herald.
 We were very much amused at a crowd Of voungsters last week. They had been en- tertaining for some days ardent hopes Of getting to Texas and they being given ticket home. They were to go with some cattle men to help with the cattle. The boys actually put on their "cattle-drivlng clothes'' and were ready to make the start to the place from whence tine cattle would be started on their Texas trip, but at the last hour the boys met disappointment. Sad was their disappointment-Words cannot eA- press it. The boys went around with thear faces grown long and look of dejection showing plainly Why was all this? Their hopes had gotten too high. It was heralded around that about six boys were wanted, and the "six'' had been spoken to, as we learned The "six'' had been keeping at to themselves, and talking about it when they would get together. The day before the cattle was to move the six gathred at the depot. Such hopes of seeing a little of the world as they had! Their faces fairly beamed Some of them were going to re- turn home as soon as discharged rom uhe cattle work, while others saw mansions rising before them in Texas. The things they would do there. Instead Of a "singie starr in the Texas coat-of-arms they could see fully a thousand stars of success gilt tering before them. When the gathering at the depot began To and behold, instead or one "six'' there came near being six-times- six "sixes" Each "six" thought-what the little boy did when the calf ran over him. The "sixes" began to get together. Each learned that the other had been spoken to for the trip. and it was evident that only one six could go. Indignation arose. They believed a game had been worked on them When they were in the first heat of indigna- tion, a telephone message informed them that none of them would be needed, for the
 T rnd ivl and the bullock boys could remain at their comfortable homes and enjoy hopes of get ting to Texas at some future date-not this time

ENDING OF COTTON MILL STRIKES
In New England Has Improved the Industrial Situation Situation Nervous and Sensitive to the Strained Rela-
 tions With Spain.

New York, March I.-R. G. Dun & Co., weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: It is most gratifying that no industry or branch of business shows any restriction or hindrance, but some have been rapidly gaining for the past week and month. The railways are gaining even while spectators are selling their stocks, and the demand for products for all the great industries is in- creasing.
 More gold is coming from Europe than is needed, $10, ,S6S, 900 having been ordered dur ing the past week and money markets are nowhere alarmed or stringent, although reasonably more cautious.
 The country rests assured that its indus tries, almost all of its business and foreign demands for its products and especially all its resources are beyond the reach of any foreign power and that It's honor and for eign interests are in safe hands.

The Beautiful Women of the South

Dreamer" in the Carrollton News.
 am persuaded that the south has the most beautiful women in the world, with out exception. Here can be seen blondes that rival the purest types of the Scandi- navian races. and brunettes that excel the bewitching beauties of old Castile. Ana the types which belong between these most distinct ones is the charm Of variety that makes of group of southern beauty types a galaxy of female loveliness.
 A traveller in Europe must traverse the entire continent for the variety Of femi- nine beauty that is to be seen in nearly every small town of the south. Two months tugal failed to witness for my informant single type of femininity of the brunette class. The same experience was had In Italy save in the neighborhood or Rome, where the sudden appearance in the road of a buxom, red-headed girl leading ooh- key. was such a relief to our traveller uhat he forthwith presented her with a com that made her richer than she had ever been before.
 A month in Holland and Switzerland gave such an overpowering sense or the extermination of the race of brunettes that the same traveller discovering dark eyed and dark-haired beauty one day, fol- lowed her two miles only to learn that she was the daughter of a strollng Italian player Denmark and Norway and Sweden furnished the same monotonous sea Of blue eyes and light hair, and 1t was only In gay Paris that the pleasing variety ever Tn evidence in the beauty world of the south ern states was at all approached

A Church Primary
From the Athens Educator.

From the Athens Educator. 937
 We see from our exchanges that Rev. B. F. Haynes, of zionis Outlook, formerly the Tennessee Methodist, has placed in nomi- nation for bishop of our church the name of pr. J. c. Morris. formerly of the First Church, Birmingham. This is q new plan for getting at the business. We are not informed whether pr. Haynes proposes to hold a primary election or a convention We would suggest, however, that at this time primaries seem to be more satisfactory to the people than the old-fashioned, log-rolling, wire-puians convention. Beyond this we have at thds time no further suggestions to make.

Exports of corn, tn spite of smaller yield, have been 7,70e, ,294 bushels in two weeks against 9,SS6699 bushels last year, when they far surpassed all records Wheat declined 2A cents but corn did not change during the week. Cotton declined b cent, sales of fertilizers indicating a less reduction of acreage this year than was expected.

 Output of Pig
 The weekly output of pig iron was 22S 1888 tons Feb. 1, but 234 ,430, March 1, and an increase of unsold stocks in Feburay was only 5,S52 tons weekly, leaving 225532 tons weekly for export or consumption against 21S,457 tons in January and 215,249 in Mo- vember. 1895. the month of greatest con- sumption before this year.
 For four months production has gained a little. but consumption still more, and if preparations for last only a few weeks they will add much to the demand. Other consumption for railroad cars, for vessels on the lakes, for elevators and oil pipe lines, for agricultural implement works and for sheets, is beyond precedent, and struct- urai and rail works are crowded with or ders, though now receiving few.
 The minor metals are generally stronger in demand. Sales for wool this week have been the smallest since the week of great est alarm in August, 1896, but not because any mills have stopped work.
 Cotton goods have @ large distribution, and prices are generally steady, though fin mt tcid nt n shade lower. Prints are in better demand.
 The failures for the week have been PAS in the United States, against 256 last year, and 36 in Canada, against 61 last year.

He says further that his method is to prepare brief paper himself, or have one of his people prepare one on some suitable topic, to be followed by a general discus sion and the relating of experiences with reference to overcoming the worry habit. worrying to health.' The second was What did Socrates teach about worry ing?'
 The machinery of a circle may be of the slightest. No constitution is required. If it is a church circle the pastor will natur- ally be it's general director. If it Is a private circle, a president or chairman may be chosen from time to time Meth ods will vary so much under different cir cumstances that fixed rules cannot be given.
 Mir Charles B. Newcomb says in his late ly published book Ans Right With the Word:" Let us organize an anti-worry club on the lines of prohibition work, to lesislate against the indulgence of anxiety. We will not depend on numbers for suc- cess. A membership of one is quite suffi- -cient. Two in some cases will be better, and possibly four or five if there are so many in the family. The fines and pen alties should be severe and might be de- voted to the~purchase of breezy literature that would assist the cause and forward the objects of the club There should be no tenderness shown to defaulting mem- bers, for worry is a disease that needs heroic remedies. We must be as merciless to our worries as to Canada thistles. It might be well to even offer bounties for their extermination. We must radiatc an atmosphere in which they cannot live. If we do not master them they will certainly master us."

 Review of the stock Market
 New York March u.-Bradstreet ts review of the stock market tomorrow will say:
 Speculation is nervous and very sensi- tive to the influences arising in connection with the Cuban situation and our relations with Spain. The public Is getting little or nothing. In fact the liquidation of the last fortnight has been very severe and there IS a disposition on all sides to await de- yelopments After 0 lower market on Saturday, the week began with violent break in the first quarter of an hour on Monday due to the report that Spain had demanded the withdrawal of our consul general at Havana and also to the weak ness of the whole London market on the news of Russias aggressive attitude in China and the unfavorable attitude Of the London press. In fact, throughout the week. the influence of the far eastern ques- tion in London was reflected here and aid ing in the unsettled speculative feeling and in crating additional caution, so that trading had degenerated into dull, pro- fessional affair.
