The reports of consuls in various
parts of Germany to the effect that
American goods are being closely cop
led by German manufacturers indicate
IN one way the tierceness Of the com
petition that is to be encountered in
foreign markets from now Oh. A year
ago 1t was reported that in various
cities of Germany goods of home
manufacture were offered for sale with
the false and misleading placard
made In America attached to them.
while this is likely to hamper the
growth Of American trade in European
markets, it is nevertheless a compl-
ment to the American artisan. For
elgn markets cannot be closed to Amer
lean goods so long as the American
mechanic holds his supremacy. His
skill, supplemented by perfected ma
chlnery which is being constantly
brought into use, is bound to win the
battle in the long run.

The railroads of this country are di-
yided into five great systems, viz: The
Vanderbilt, the Pennsylvania, the Nor
gan-Hill, the Gould and the Hartman,
writes Charles A. Prouty, member of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
These five systems, together with the
Atchison, the Rock Island and the st.
Paul, control about 10000 miles Of
road. There are 100000 miles of rail
road in the United States. but the other
5000 miles begin nowhere and end
nowhere and are absolutely dependent
on the five great systems. When five
men can sit around a table and say
that rates shall be so and so, and If
at the end of the year this thing does
not pan out as we think it ought to.
we will make it right, you have a pool
ng arrangement that cannot be reach
ed by any law.

DON'T believe all the good things you

few years ago a man undertook to
establish in various sections of the
country Don't Worry" societies. How
long they endured and whether any
of them still exist we do not know.
There Is no logical reason why their
mission should not be practicable, ex-
cept, perhaps that it is so purely mega
tive. 1t Is not enough to pledge ones
self not to worry and to remind ones
neighbor continually that he must not
do so. Mere negatiOn means vacu-
UNI. If we don't worry, what are we
to do? That Is a question most char
acteristically American. The Ameri-
can, of all human beings, is most i'm
patient and intolerant Of vacuums.
from an empty stomach to an empty
mind. If the American doesn't worry,
he or she must have something else to
do. Our advice would be: Discard the
negative maxim, for no one yet ever
ceased to worry by forming a resolu-
ton to that effect. Substitute for 1t the
positive self-command: BE cheerful
Religion used always to have gloomy
tinge. Consolation was offered the all
ing spirit, but it was more than offset
with menace and dread. The truly
living religion Of to-day Is different
It inculcates, above all, that saving ad-
monition. 1t teaches people how TO be
cheerful. If it doesn't do that it is
worth nothing. The most attractive
church is the one in which the clear
light enters from above, falling alike
in pure benedictiOn upon pulpit and
new. The most eticacious religion is
one that lifts from the groveling fears
of the flesh and the finite mind. Some
rimes a very simple and unpretentious
example of the fruits of cheerfulness Is
found in ordinary life. Cheerful old
are in itself is the best eulogy of years
well spent. You may be sure that 1t
is never the sequence of the opposite
history. There is fictitious cheerful
moss and the real cheerfulness, that
of the heart and the tranquil con-
science. No healthy cheerfulness comes
without work or its equivalent, which
may be generally defined as useful en-
deavor. In it's due proportion 1t Is the
sweetening of life, which without it
has no honest relish. Cheerfulness is
positive duty. No negative one can
take it's place To be cheerful is hot
necessarily to be unSeltish. 1t Is often
10 be selfish in the exalted aud alto
getber commendable sense: to be ones
| hest self and therefore happest and
most beneficent to others.
