The news that In addition to previous con-
tracts Of notable size and value an American
company has bound itself to send an enor-
NOUS number of cars to South Africa within

American enterprise, ingenuity. resourcefuness
and dash overcome every obstacle. Our manu-
facturers are prompt. so quick and SO in
domitable in their undertakings that in many
of the biggest industrial tasks of the day. in
every quarter of the world. they surpass all

more speed in some way the United States

American Nervousness.

A man OF good habits and regular
life, taking a judicious amount OF rest
and recreation, need be none the worse
mentally and physically for a rather
intense concentration upon the work of
his life, while that work is going on.
Some Of the worlds greatest thinkers,
in lines where the most perfect con-
centration and specialization were re-
quired, have been men of perfect
health and nerves and of long and Wig.
orous life. But they have not INDUCED

have been simple, they have not under
taken TO compass the whole field Of
human effort, and they have kept their
lives free from excuses in all direc-
lions.

why the fault should be charged TO CIV

SIX by side should possess so many
opposite traits OF character. The white

aAd Is set in his ways. He lives an in-
ooor, m~onotonous life. restraining him
self Ike a Puritan, and is inclined TO
melancholy. The prevalence OF Popu-
lisn throughout the South is nothing
out the outcome OF this morbid tend
eacy. Farmers and merchants are en-
tlFely &bSCI bed in their business, and
the women, especially the married wo-
men, contrast with the ON Of Ger.
many, France, and even England. ia
their indoor life and 6isinclination to
iningle with the. world outside. Pab-
lie parks and public concerts, such as
are found in Europe, which call out
husband, wife and children for a few
hours OF rest and communion with
their friends, are almost unknown in
the South. The few entertainments
mat receive sanction generally exclude
all hut the well-to-do, by the cost of
admission. The life of the poor in
town n country is bleak and bare to
the last degree.
Contrasting with this tendency is the
free-and-essy-life OF the blacks. The
burdens Of the present and future sit
lightly npon their shoulders. They love
all the worldly amusements; in their
homes they are free entertainers. and
in their fondness for conversation and
love Of street life they are equal to the
French and Italians.

these two opposite races is working

the final result will justify all the on
