An English writer has discovered
that the anxious face" is typical Of
Americans. He thinks that the strenu-
Gus, hustling life led by Americans, so
filled with nervous strain with so
little relaxation or recreation, has re-
suited in an expression of anxiety that
has become characteristic Of the face
of an American. This may be true but
we doubt ii. There are many anxious
hearts in this country, beyond doubt
which leave the impress Of their anx-
icty on the countenance. But the same
is true Of every land and cline. Con-
sdering the ceascless activity of the
American race it is remarkably care
free, and happy and good naturcd
Nerves are not yet an American disease.
and anxious faces do not warrant the
attachment Of the label Made in
America" We believe they have moro
or less anxiety abroad. The anxious
face might well be discovered in sew
eral European royal families, in a high
degree of perfection. But it may be
that We all worry more than we ought
to, and that we show our anxiety in
our faces. Smooth out the wrinkles.

A C,uren on the philinnines

ED. JOURNAL Some weeks ago, the
Epworth Herald gave an example of old
time advertisements that run something
like this:
"For sale--0ne negro man Tom 20
years of age, sound in limb and body.
price $1,000.
One bright mulatto girl age Is, pleas
ing of face and figure, price $500"
This reminds us that only few years
ago we were buying and selling and en-
Shaving our fellow creatures. We have
got over this. This idea of doing things
was shattered to pieces at Shilo, Gettys-
burg and hundred other battle fields
of our great war. Just recently our
great captain Dewey was reported to
have said, ave should not sell the
Philippine islands but keep them"
This sentiment was scattered over the
country by both Republican and Dem
ocrat papers, and held to be very wise
saying; Our kidnapping and selling
human beings is past, but we still claim
the right to kidnap and sell nation of
people. True, we can not hold the i'm
lividual for this other idea. "That once
a Briton always a Briton" or that one
could not change his citizenship, was
shot to pieces in the war of 1912, but we
contend for the right to control and
place our favorites in Office over any
people that we think does not come up
20 our standard of advancement, and as
We believe ourselves to be little the
people on earth, az soon as
we intend to take the earth,
md il the inhabitants don't like it they
an move off or emigrate to some other
,lanet. 4.
