THE AxER1cAN GIRL ABROAD.

The girl who is planning trip
abroad will find much valuable aoviee
TO her in 4 very sensible article IN the
Woman's Home Companion entitled
.The American Girl Abroad" In the
course of this the writer, Charlotte
Bird. says: /,
"The quiet, well-bred American girl
leads an unostentatious life abroad
Just as she does at home. She seeks no
kind of notoriety and IL not generally
observed, consequently she excites no
comment; or, il she is noticed, she Is
ranked among the exceptions. But tine
loud girl attracts attention at once.
and her peculiarities are noted and set
down by Europeans as American NOT
tifyina to our national pride as the
fact MAY be, not sll Americans abroad
are refined, and they are always the
ones who attract the most attention.
We may complain of the injustice OF IT,
but Europeans naturally infer that
nearly all Americans are like those
who have invited their notice. So long
as Europeans hear American girls
talking in a loud, high-keyed voice in
the street cars. concert halls and other
public places. and see them wear the
extremes of the most conspicuous fash
ions, We shall have some difficulty IN
convincing foreigners that American
women are modest and refined.
"The American girl at home is accus-
TONED TO NJ much freedom as her great
est good will allow, and she has no idea
of the restrictions to which the girl OF
continental Europe il subjected. When
the American girl first goes to Europe
she may be inclined to rebel at these
limitations as something altogether
foolish. However. Europeans are some
what charitably disposed toward us
Besides. they are never unmindful oi
the fact that Americans pay well
They may even profess to admire the
courage, as they call it, which prompts
American girls to 60 to parties in Ger
tain places without . maAe attendant
The German mamma may smile at the
American girl for receiving many call:
from men, provided she meets them IL

She may excuse her independent wal
Of going about alone. and enjoy heI
vivacious manners, but in her heart o

that her own daughter Is not modelled

INTERNATIONAL TRUSTS.

"The first real international trust
notes the New York Press, SIS to
combine to control the salt of the
earth.
international trusts will test the
combine theory severely. 1t would
seem to be logical conclusion that
such a trust would have for one of its
purposes the preservation of specific
markets to specific elements of the
combine. The Canadian market then
would be left to the Canadian branch
of the trust and the British market to
the English trust. This inevitably
would restrict trade and commerce
more than they have yet been restrict
ed by the trust developments to date
The result would tend to check the
trade expansion of growing and
aggressively enterprising commercial
people.
1--WE suspect that international
trusts will prove Of less benefit to this
country than to others; and if that
should prove to be so they will 90
to pieces from the pressure within
rather than from without; and that
pressure will be the Yankee force OF
ambition and rivalry.'

ABOUND IN GOOD WORKS.

1t often happens in life that efforts
are wasted in useless endeavors. Men
struggle to attain results which mus,
inevitably bring unhappiness. The
ardor of the contest seems to blur their
vision and warp their Judgment. In
the struggle to get rich, where one
succeeds a thousand fail. Circum-
stancs may sometimes control, but the
handspring of success in all things is
in the persons himself. But success
should not be measured by one criter-
ion. Men are prone to look at every
thing from financial point of view.
The most successful lives have been
spent in efforts far removed from the
communicating influence If IN y-get-
ting. Money gives power always; it
brings real happiness seldom. If put
to good uses, it doubly enriches its
possessor. 1t brings him comforts
and it gives him joy. If put to ig-
noble uses, it will surely bring re-
morse, sorrow and disappointment.
A life spent in doing good is life
well spent. Unfortunately, however,
so much of human effort is either di-
rected towards selfish ends or wasted
in Improbable work. The politician,
for instance, wears out his nerves in
exciting struggles for supremacy, and
when he attains the desired end he Of
ten realizes that the seeming success
is dismal failure. Wrecked in for
tune and, perhaps, in health, he finds
when too late that insuperable obsta-
Giles stand between him and the goal
of his ambition. Such life affords a
striking example of wasted energy
and of misspent power.
The enthusiast may spend lifetime
riding hobby absolutely void Of any
practical utility. 1t occupies his
thoughts by day, and haunts his
dreams at night. Meanwhile the
world loses the value of his services,
for poor, indeed, is the character that
cannot render some service to man.
kind if prompted by proper motives.
The body polite may suffer by the
aimless inactivity of some of its men,

ambitious to acquire power and money

ESTIMATE OF THE WEST
VIRGINIA DISASTER.

1t is reported that not over 60 people
are missing in the coal fields as a result of
Saturdays flood in West Virginia.
The town of Keystone, while much dam
aged, is not wiped out, as was reported.
No estimate of property loss has been
made either by coal operators or by the
railroad officials. The loss. however, is
far up in the thousands.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company loss will reach $500,u0O. Men
and material are being hurried to the coal
fields from all over the line of the Norfolk
and Western.
A telegram Monday afternoon dated
Ennis, W. Va, from General Manager
Johnson, of the Norfolk and Western
Railway, says:
"The best information is that about 60
people were drowned in the North Fork
of the Elkhorn. Property loss about
100000 The Norfolk and Western Rail
road suffered severe damage to its tracks
and trestles. Expect to be open for traffic
some time Wednesday if we have no more
storms"
The devastated section covers an area
of about 90 miles west of Bluefield. 1t is
very narrow valley, not much wider
than broad street in some places.
Another destructive storm visited the
flood swept district Wednesday night, and
