The governments crusade along these
lines against the transatlantic COM
panies marks a distinct advance in the
annals of anti-corporation litigation. 1t
Is probably the nrst case In which the
prosecution for acts In restraint of for

trust law of 1890. This proceeding in this
regard is based on the explicit phrase
''or with foreign nations in the Sher-

Mastering Ones Thouahts.

The heart that is seif-suficient,
that can generate. it's own supply Of
happiness, is proof against all the ills
of life. 1t is like warm, lighted room
on cold winter night, giving security
and comfort. 1t is folly to try to run
away from ones thoughts when ones
thoughts are ones real SELF The
thing is to overcome them, to change
them from ugly. thoughts to lovely
ones, as the fairy godmother changed

don't mourn about them, for you won't
make those same mistakes again. and

Fractions of Time important.

1t is not common to find a person
who can correctly estimate the lapse
of single second. But, as an Eng
hsh writer remarks, in these days of
speeding automobiles, the exact time
when each of two colliding vehicles
must have occupied particular spots
may be a matter of great Importance.
In a recent experiment a car took
nearly two seconds to stop after
brakes were applied, and in that time
it moved 10 feet So even fractions
of second are important. One can
train oneself to estimate even tenths
of a second. Try it with a watch, and
it will be found that it is just pos.
slble to count ten in the lapse of a
single second. E2t one must count
very fast to do it. Il :....~

Rajlroad Men Modest as Brave.

The histories of the modern rail-
roads are replete with tales, fascinat-
ing and thrilling as they are, OF the
deeds of valor performed by the
knights of the rail, and scarcely a
month passes but we are told har-
rowing, pathetic tales Of great dis
asters on the road. Invariably In
reading the accounts of these events
we involuntarily scan the printed
lines to learn the fates of the crews
in the engines.
Railroad trainmen, like soldiers and,
in fact, all brave men, are modest. 1t
is only with extreme difficulty that
they are led to recount the deeds OF
their fellows. 1t seems to be fore
gone conclusion with them that each
time they pull out their trains they
may never return. This trip might
be the last.

when the hostess prided herself on
her own conversational powers and
upon her ability to draw out her
guests, who were generally chosen
with regard to some ability in this d.
.rection. Now nobody talks, but some
body sings or plays and the concert
or rhetorical entertainment has taken
the place of brilliant conversation.

Hard Lo. Of Korean Women.

James Hamilton Lewis, ex-congress-
man and Incorporation counsel of Chi
cago, writing to the Chicago Evening
Post from Seoul, says of Korean wom-
en-: "A woman is the least of things
in Korea and the smallest considera-
tion, living or dead. A slave, then a
free woman, yet always only the mis-
tress or servant or both, though called
wife and compelled to endure as many
others in her household as the hus-
band may bring, while the slightest
infraction on her part is met with ex-
lie, divorce or death. She does the
work. He is a dandy and gambler.
though he is no roisterer, makes no
noise, no loud.voiced declamations, no
clatter in the streets unless it 10 a

What a Girl Learns.

Katherine Eggleston complains in
magazine article that children are
taught about mems work and not about
women's. Even in the kindergarten
they learn about Lincoln and Wash
ington. and even the pictures show the
lion and forget the lioness. She
learns history in the high school with
all the brave ideals of men. and cour-
ageous women are completely ignored.
Then she learns carpentering, although
she may not be able to cook an egg,
and she knows all about higher math-
ematics, but is cheated by the butcher.
She learns political economy, but does
not know who are members of the
