LABOR WASTED.

YOU may lead some men to busi-
ness,
But they'll never make start:
You may show some men their
duty,
But they'll never do their part.
You may dress some folks in satin.
But you'll never change their
looks,
You may give some folks a book
store,
But they'll never read the books.

Declares in Dissolution Suit
That Company Only
Makes Small Parts.

New York, May 22.-Chas. NJ. Schwab
resumed the witness stand for further
cross examination by government
counsel In the suit to dissolve the
United states Steel Corporation
Before being questioned by Judge ia
cob NJ. Dickinson, the government at
torney, he asked permission to cor
rect the testimony he had given Tues
day to the effect that the Illinois steel
Co. and the Carnegie Steel Co were
competitors before they were absorbed
He said yesterday that the Illinois
company manufactured only small
parts" and was not in reality COM
petitor of the Carnegie company.
Judge Dickinson asked about GER
tain pool agreements on rails in 1897.
The witness admitted that the Car
negie Steel company had some agree
ments of that kind
The government attorney then read

Schwab said. 1T was not his naan
Schwab said. 1T was not big neough.

In refutation of Mr.. Schwab's testi-
mony that one of the principal objects
of the organization of the corporatio
was TO. develop the export trade. Judge
Dickinson read statistics showing that
more steel had been exported in the
two years previous to the corporal ation's S
organization than during the first two
years afterwards.
Those figures in no manner disprove
or detract from my theory" Mr..
Sehwab replied, because they cover
but short time. If you will take the
figures for longer period of time -
down to the present-they will show a
large increase in the exports"

 Correct estimates of the loss caused by the series of storms that have swept the coasts of Europe and America are difficult to obtain, but one authority, who based his figures on the Lloyds' report, said that the. damage t" deep sea vessels alone would amount to 5000, ,0OO.
 This does not include the loss suffered by the coaSting trade of the United States, estimated at several millions.
 During the month of .January one agency reported the loss or partial wreckage of 328 sailing vessels and 5l0 steamships.

Tho Horrid Habit of Contrad lotion

One of the very worst habits to acuuire--if we care for our own happiness and the happiness of Others--is he habit of conlradlc- ton.
 Unfortunately, il comes easily, ofran unknowingly, and attains it's growth before We are fully aware of the existence of the evil thing. we have nurtured.
 Woman has no monopoly of this habit. It is often seen and is just as bad in a man. eContin- ual watchfulness over the unruly tongue is the only safeguard. the only remedy and the only cure.
 Consideration, one for others, should be cultivated if one would retain the love of friends.
