n living Is Joy to you
Because your soul is sound
And life seems good and sweet and true
That you have haply found,
Then sing no false and hopeless strain
Of doubling and despair.
But lift your voice all clear and plain
And sing that life is fair
Sing Of its beauty and its worth,
Its bright and sunny skies;
Sing all the loneliness of earth
As seen by happy eyes,
For then the souls respondent born
Shall find them brave and strong,
Their way less gloomy and forlorn,
Because Of your glad song!

One of the experts at the recent tu-
berculosis congress in London says
the dread scourge of mankind will
decrease materially in the United
States when the national vice of ex-
pectoration is checked. Decency, re-
fnement, health. even life itself, plead
for the abolition of this offensive Gus.
tom, yet with nothing to urge in its
favor, and everything against it, it is
one of the hardest social evils to COM
bat Even now that it is proved to
be an actual evil, it has its practition-
ers, and, what is more astonishing. its
advocates. Laws against it, while
based On soundest hygiene. affecting
the public health, are denounced as an
invasion of personal liberty There is
still much work to do in the case, but
with the advantage at stake, the mis-
sionary efforts by law, reason and per-
suasion, should be continued till the
desired result is attained. A begin
ming might be made in the schools and
the habit nipped in the bud, thinks the
Baltimore American.

A new industry is promised for
North Carolina in the discovery of
the mating reed in its river marshes.
1t has long been said that mating
could be made only in China, because
the reed suitable for its manufacture
was found only in that country. Re-
Gently reed has been found growing in
the greatest profusion in the water of
Trent and Neuse ..vers above New
bern, N. c., which experts state is
identical with that used in China for
making mating. This rush is a hardy
plant and very rapid grower. The
stalks are from one-sixteenth to three
eighths Of an inch in diameter, and
grow to a height of three to seven
feet. the annual importation of mat
ting into the United States from China
is estimated at 3OO,OOO,O0O yards. The
manufacture is said to be a simple
and inexpensive process and one in
which highly skilled labor is not neces-
sary.
