The Cost Of Worry.
n the chicago Record Herald

From the Chicago Record Herald
An eastern alienist told the Mental
Hygiene Society that If worry could be
eliminated the number OF our insane
would be decreased by 40 per cent. His
assertion is -corroborated by other ex-
perts.
The diagnosis, one sees. is delightfully."-
simple, but the remedy is hard to apply.
Worry is OF two sorts-that which comes
from within and that which is imposed
from without. The nervous specialist
treats the first and mental suggestion
succeeds in q. certain proportion OF cases.
AS for the worry incident to our mad
scramble to survive, the doctors we look
to in that case are the economists and the
sociologists. The problem Of the nerve
specialist 10 not an easy one, but It looks
almost simple when compared with the
problem of the economists. Both sets of
doctors are making Roadway, and at pres
ent we may look for much Improvement
in our insanity statistics. So let us not
worry about worry, but work. to remove
it's causes.

Turkish Slaves.
, the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
Abdul Hamid's view that the slave in
Turkish household is much better off than
a servant girl Is fully supported by Mr..
Duckett F'erriman in Turkey and the
Turks" The chief points urged are that
the owner is responsible for the slaves
maintenance and cannot turn her adrift,
that she Is treated as one of the family,
has light duties, and is taught accom-
plishments, and that she has chances of
rich marriage. An Englishwoman,
governess and companion in a house on
the Bosphorus. was asked by some Eng
lish visitors who were the charmingly
dressed girls they saw. Servants" she
said, meaning to spare the girls feelings.
But when the visitors had gone the girls
bitterly reproached her for "shaming"
them. You are q servant. You are paid,
we are not We are slaves, not servants.
Why did you tell a falsehood to shame

LONDON STOCK MARKET
General Improvement Ex-

of Near East Difficulties.

LONDON, March 22.-The Easter holt
days and the absence of any particu-
lar change in the monetary or CONT
mental political situations left the
stock market in dull condition, and
few important changes occurred dur
ing the week. The speculative posi-
tons in most sections were quiet, but
given definite signs of satisfactory
arrangement Of the near east difficult
ties money would become easier and
general Improvement in securities
would follow, particularly as trade
reported a slackening, which will re-
lease funds for the employment Of the
stock market.
The feature during the week was
the slump in Brazilian rails under
forced liquidation, and the decline in
French favorites through realizations
prompted by the fall of the French
cabinet. On the other hand. consols
closed ve-sixteenths higher on sink
ing fund purchases, and the anticfpa-

ton plan. There was a partial recov-
cry and prices finished the week net

After FOrtu.Three Years

Gov. Cox has pardoned John Taborn, the Oldest
convict in the Ohio penitentiary. He was sentenced
to the institution for life, on conviction for murder,
in 1870, being then % years old. He comes out into
a strange world, transmogrifed by electrical and other
inventions. He had been in prison six years when
Prof. Bell, head of a school for the deaf and dumb,
was vainly trying to interest men of money in a
device for transmission of the sound Of the human
voice, an instrument now known as the telephone.
When he was banishid from free society there were
no electric lights, electric cars or any electrical appli-
ances, no telephones, no automobiles, no motion-pic-
ture shows, and none of a multitude of things that
the present generation look upon as necessities and
take as a rnatter of course. The advance IN these
lines in 40 years staggers belief.
But while John Taborn will look with dazzled eyes
IN the wonderland that has been fashioned since he
was put away for the public good, he will soon tire
Of it and begin to look about for folks he once knew
and loved. As he begins to inquire about them and

The Utilization of Western LiQnites

Dean z. J. Babcock of the School OF Mines at the
State University has just completed and turned over
to the Bureau of Mines Of the United States govern
ment an extensive bulletin on "The Utilization Of
Western Lignites." This is a special work that Dean
Babcock has been engaged in for some time, under
the commission of the United States government. 1t
covers a wide field in the utilization Of the Ignite
of various western states.
This bulletin is expected to come from the press
during the fall or early winter.
While on his eastern trip Dean Eabcock stopped
at the laboratories of the United States Bureau OF
Mines, located at Pittsburgh, for a days consultation
in connection with the work on western Ignite, which
has been prepared by him.
This work will be a very valuable addition to the
literature on this subject and will be received with
eagerness by the leading mining engineers OF the
country, as Dean Babcock is the recognized authority
on Ignite. in the United States.

DisOrderly Conduct

A saloonkeepcr was before Municipal Judge Sulli-
van of Chicago on a charge of %disorderly conduct
He denied the charge, but admitted that he had gar
nisheed the wages of a working man to the extent
of $40 for a bar bill. The mans wife testified that
for two weeks she and her children had been without
proper food because her husbands wages were tied
up in court.
The court, perhaps with more sentiment than law,
decided that a saloonkeeper who would extend credit
to q working man and then sue him to take away
the sustenance of his wife and family was guilty OF
d%isorderly conduct. How about the saloonkeepeF
who feeds whisky to a workingman as long as he
has the cash to pay for it? Is his conduct conducive
to the highest order in Chicago or anywhere else?

What has the Summer Done for You2

Marguerite Campion gives expression to the fol-
lowing happy vein of thought through the October
Metropolitan:
Autumn comes upon us with a rush, like old age.
Yesterday you were without a care. You went in
swimming, knocked off a couple of sets Of tennis,
read a hundred pages of the book-of the -hour, and
finished the day with a three-mile row to a picnic
supper in the pine woods, through which the sunset
streaned like a confagration! That was yesterday.
Today you walked into your Office With a heavy sun
burn on your face and a purple aster in your button
hole. 1t was fall. Summer was gone. and the sum-
mer spirit (that ageless elf!) passed out Of you with
your first disilusioning dip into the old realities.
And yet-if the summer was worth anything-it
left you a sediment of cheerfulness. The harness
fitted less tightly. The road ahead looked more
alluring. The going was fringed with greater posi-
bilities. Something, a mysterious something, had
happened to you.
Perhaps you had picked up the right adjustment
between the Puritan half of you and the Pagan, the
half that wears spectacles and the half with furry
ears. Somewhere in your busy brain you felt the
tension relax and the strain stop. a fine new care
lessness and loose-jointed energy took possession OF
you. You swung into the elevator with positive ex-
pectancy and cut into your Pisalike pile Of unanswer-
ed correspondence with a merry little thrill Of
anticipation. You picked up an unexpected idea out
of an old %predicament, ant wondered, at the end OF
the day, why you had not always whistled at your
work, since whistling was such an asset in business!

Vfrifed Brick nr COuntru Roads

The U. S. Department of Agriculture has recently
issued as Bulletin % of the new departmental series
a contribution from the Office of Public Roads Or.
Vitrifcd Brick as a Paving Material for Country
Roads.
Brick roads have four distinct advantages: Dura-
bility, easy traction, ease Of maintenance, and good
appearance. The high first cost is a disadvantage.
The materials used and the process of manufacture
are described, as well as methods of testing the
bricks. The construction of brick roads is set forth
in detail and the various steps in the process are
illustrated. Especial attention is directed to the I'm
portance of proper engineering supervision.
The appendix gives the method for inspecting and
testing paving bricks, as recommended by the Amerr
can Society for Testing Materials.

The Banana Tax

A familiar, but interesting, fallacy crops up in a
letter on the banana tax which our senate tried to
put into the tariff bill, sent all the way from Alex
The writer says:
1.-The cost to the consumer would be sc. per 100
approximately bananas, which is equal to 10th of a
cent each.
1T is, | believe, generally found that a new tax
placed ON articles retailed to the people as are BAN
anas, cannot in practice be obtained from the con.
sumers unless it approximates a current coin per
item; and therefore it seems to me this tax would
not be felt by the actual consumers"
There is no reason to believe that, in any proper
sense, any such thing is generally found" 1t is true
enough that a twentieth of a cent cannot be added to
the price of a banana: and even that, in practice,
l cent cannot be added to the price of a dozen ban
anas. But the addition of twelve-twentieths of a cent
to the wholesale cost a dozen bananas may be just
by 5 cents. Whenever-apart from arbitrary price
fxings by monopolists-the retail price OF an article
Of commerce is raised by the smallest customary
unit, say, five cents, this is presumably the result OF
a mass Of contributing causes, the last of which turns
the trick. The imposition of a trifing tax may, and
doubtless very often does, leave the retail price
unaltered; but then again it may affect it by very
many times the amount of the tax; and there is not
the slightest reason to suppose that, on the average,
the raising Of the price is not fully equal to the tax
plus the various percentages of profit on the tax con-
nected with the handling Of the article.-New York
Post.
