nrnRE ETH -sHAKINe.

There has been a severe earthquake in South America, and though the news about 1t is not entirely clear at this writing. the indications are that much damage has been done. The evidences of the instability of things we have had this year are decidedly disturbing. They show that proud man doesn't amount to as much as he often gets to thinking he does, and they show how easily much of that which is called property can be made valueless.
 What next and where next? Nobody knows and perhaps it is just as well that nobody does know. Let us con- tinue buying, selling and getting gain as if the world were going to stand for ever and we were going to stand with it. They say that this part of it is solid and out of the earthquake region. Let Us hope it Is.

rSEFUE. IF MARRIED.

Woman no longer needs any defense. She can and does defend herself, and she has got herself established in way that makes her growth and progress sure. Man, on the other hand, needs much defense, and gets little. It is sell dom that a voice is raised in his be- half, and then only when he is married. A single mar is no good and he is constantly reminded of his worthless estate, both by the voice of conscience and the voice of Woman. But a mar ried man may be worthy. Some new and valuable testimony to the useful ness of the mal ried man is given by the swifts of Chicago, who have offered a sliding scale of wedding presents from $50 to $2O0 to all men in their employ who will marry. The reasons advanced by the company for the increased value of married men are: A married man can be depended on better than an un- married man. He has increased domes- tic responsibilities and takes his work more seriously. He places his work higher in importance than does the youth, whose brain is filled with thoughts of girls and light social af- fairs. He is not as extravagant and "fighty," hence can be trusted in fnan- cial matters to a greater extent than the single man. The larger a mans family the more faithful he Is to his work, his responsibility being such that he works more energetically for in- creased wages.
 This Is about right, and was long ago perceived by the intuition of Woman, who always knew that the only valu able men are the married men.

4 NEW WRTNKLE.

More and more it appears that there is nothing pure in this adulterated world but that baking powder. It seems that certain coffee houses have been importing coffee from Brazil to New York, shipping 1t from New York to Porto Rico in the original bags where it is transferred to other bags given a Porto Rico label and shipped back to New York to be sold as Porto Rico coffee atan advanced price. Accord ing to the government agent for the Porto Rico coffee growers the market price of No. 4 Rio, which is the army and navy standard, and an excellent coffee, is 1-2 to 9 5-S cents a pound. The freight charges from New York to Porto Rico and back are half a cent a pound, and the handling and resacking in Porto Rico cost another half cent, making a total cost of 10 1-2 to 10 5-S cents a pound. The price of Porto Rico Coffee in New York is F 1-2 to 13 1-2 cents pound, and the demand So great that it is gobbled up on ar rival, so that at fair estimate the profit on the fraudulent Porto Rican coffee is close to three cents a pound, or six dollars on each two hundred pound sack.
 Of course We are not poisoned by this performance. Only cheated. Still
 it isn't quite comfortable to be cheat
 ed all the time and in every way.

NOT sMlRT ENOUGH YEr.

United States people have been and are pretty smart, but they have never been smart enough to get the trade with South America they ought to have. And there is much to be done before they do get it. Almost the whole banking system of South Amer ica is controlled by European capital or is in close utilization herewith. The result is of course a great advantage to the European merchant in the matter of credits. Further, the several coun- tries of the continent, with the excep- tion of a few at the north and north west, are inadequately supplied with steamship lines running to the United States, while there are abundant fa- cirties of this kind in the direction of Europe. Third and most important of all among the reasons for the slow growth of our business is the fact that the United States is new in the busi- ness of exporting, Our exports to the rest of the world have been chiefly ag- ricultural, but South America wants the product of our factories. We must learn to consult and heed Latin-Amer- ican prejudices in preparing and ship ping our manufactured goods.
 The South American markets really belong to us, but we shall not get them without a good deal of enterprise and maneuvering.

The class of 1907 at the Naval Aca- demy will have three graduation days
 the first of which will take place on September 12, when will be sent to sea. those midshipmen who have attained more than 7S per cent. for the so-called second term, that from February to May, and who have also made at least 75 per cent. in the entire academic work. The next graduation will take place Il February, when will be gradu- ated those who made IS per cent in the period from October to February
 It is expected there will be few, if any, graduates on that occasion, for the req son that those who can come up to the requirements will be able to make the graduation in September. The third graduation will take place in June. It is unusual to have three graduation dates for one class, and it is without precedent to have any part of a class graduate as early as September. The reason for it was to raise the standard of efficiency and stimulate rivalry, and at the same time get the young men to sea at as early @ date as possible to sneet the demand for naval officers on board ship.

Secretary Paul De Schweintz of the Moravian mission board has written a letter to the Philadelphia Ledger about that unfortunate Syrian leper down in West Virginia. "The fear of him is absolutely senseless," he says. "The Moravian church, in sundry of it's wide ly extended mission fields, has been taking care of lepers since 1923. At present Moravian missionaries have charge of leper colonies at Groot Chat illon, in Surinam, Dutch Guiana, South America, and outside the gates of Jerusalem, in Palestine Not only do they live with the lepers, but the nurses wash and bind up the wounds of the patients in the very worst stages of leprosy, and care for these poor af- f1ic.ed mortals until they die.
