There are people, too, who worry over worries, especially the little wor ries, more than others. There are people who will not worry over any sort of worries, and some few whose worries are so little that they don’t mind them. Amd there are people who will worry most over the most trifling of worries, and possibly scattered about here and and there are some who never let the little worries worry them. These are the fortunate, the blessed, but the very few. » * » If you are an early riser, and you ought to be, because, if you are not you miss the fresh morning air, the health-. bigger, and, we forget the -number wanted. Now that’s a very little worry. I suppose, but it's one of the kind that kills. Should we allow our selves to be worried over such a little worry as this? Would it not be best for us in the long run to simply stand there with an unperturbed mind, sing a hymn or think of pleasant things— to wonder if the girl who obstinately refuses to say “number” is red-headed and freckled, blue-eyed ahd fair, ugly or pretty? Now these are only two of a thou sand worries that upset us. that fall in our way. Say what you please, in the cold clear light of reason, they are really only little worries.

Think of your —so you can read the news fresh from house burning up. Think of vour bov the press and enjoy what the news paper men have gathered especially for your eye—I say, if you are an early riser and get in the habit of finding your paper every morning ready to be picked up, and fail to find it because the carrier is late, isn’t that a worry? Isn’t it a great big worry! Can you help fretting over it? Don’t you look up and down and Across the street watching for the tardy carrier? Don’t you look around the yard, under the steps, or among the rose bushes, on the supposition that perhaps the car rier missed his aim at the front door? Don’t you crone your neck looking on the porches and in the yards of your neighbors just to see if they got their paper and you were slighted, or if your paper was perhaps stolen? Isn’t that‘a worry? Would you classify that as a big or little worry? * * • Don’t we allow a little thing like this to worry us too much? Of course we can make this almost any kind of a worry, just as we choose. You may al low yourself to be worried over it, so worried that your breakfast is spoiled. I might regard it as a worry too trif ling to worry over, and our neighbor may not give it a thought—not even think of worrying. * # * Scientific physicians says worry kills more people than disease. Missing your morning paper, even though It does not worry other people, surely worries you and me—I’ll swear it wor- roes me—but beyond all doubt-it can not be otherwise than a very little worry, if worry at all, and then comes the question: Should we worry over little worries like that and thus shorten our lives by ’dying of worry? house burning up. Think of your boy or girl leaving you. Think of your children sick, or somebody else sick, and lots of big worries. * * * As a general thing big worries are no respecter of persons. They coma singly and in droves to the.rich and poor: they hit a colonial front as hard as they hit a shack. You may escape for a while, but sooner or later they come. And there’s no dodging. *** You can’t even stave them off. You can tell the grocery bill or the meat bill, or any kind of bill, to come next month, but when worry comes you have to take it right there on the spot. These are the real big worries *** But you can get away from the small worries. You can brush them aside and pass on. *** The trouble is. we don’t pass on. We simply stop and worry over a little worry. We play with it, fool with it, even pef.it. until it becomes too famil iar and gets suclt a hold on us that we can’t shake it off. You cannot play with or pet a full-grown worry, not after Us claws grow out and its teeth get sharp. If we could only go along and kick the little worries out of our path, how much happier we would be. Suppose next time you go out on the porch of a morning and miss your paper: or. the next time you go to the ’phone and the girl doesn’t^ say “number” until after five minutes, just remember what the scientific physicians say about worries killing so many people.

We do not realize that for every such liberty taken. Nature will provide some form of revenge in order to teach us that, clever as we are, we may Improve on some of Nature’s methods, but we can not entirely change her plans with impu nity. The slaughter of the. forests is one example of this principle. When the hills, from whence the streams and rivers flow, are protected by forest covering, rain and snow are protected from the direct rays of the sun, much of the water is slowly absorbed by the earth, and de structive freshets are unknown. The for est covering Is removed by the hand of man and nothing now prevents the full force of .the falling rain and melting snow from rushing down the watercourses in a race for the ocean. The results are excessive Roods and freshets. loss of life and property, and tons of silt and gravel carried into the navigable rivers, blocking their channels and Nature laughs a hear ty laugh at her revenge. considered the most dnngerous. the expressed it.

Perhaps the most Important claim made today by professional for esters Is that tree growth may properly be treated as a crop, to he planted, de veloped and harvested, much as other crops are grown, though under .rules which apply specifically to tree growth. —Lumbermans Review. June, 1907 When it is announced from Washington that an area of land has been added to the Government's forest reservations which does not at present support a pro lific and mature tree growth, a great hue and cry is raised against the general for estry plan of the Government on the ground that there must he a great ele ment of graft behind any vwvement which would invest the people's money In land that Is nearly, if not quite, bar ren of tree growth. Certainly the farm er docs not insist upon Ills prospective farm being covered with fully developed crops before he buys it. He wants to know that the soil is strong and fertile and will produce desired crops. It is just this latter feet that encourages our tree farmers at Washington to go into Xebras- ton mill products alone worth $70,000,000. With the forest cover removed, this wa ter becomes not productive, but descruct- ive. Fields are buried or eroded, and mills, factories, railroads and homes washed away. Here, in a single year, over JIS.OOO.OOO worth of property was destroyed by floods. In the White Mou.wains rise the Con necticut, Merrimac, Saco, and Ondro- scoggin. watering all the New .England States except Rhode Island. In the South ern Anpalaehians rise the important riv ers of the South which water practically all of the States south of the Ohio and Potomac and east of the Mississippi. The Merrimac “Rhine of America.” sup ports a population of 359.000. with prop erty assessed at $240,000,000.

HONOLULU.—In some of its as pects Honolulu is almost as much of an anachronism as would be a Roman Senator carrying a Waterbury watch in his toga. To the impressionable stranger entering her gates today she somehow suggests the half-fledged state of a man wearing evening clothes ith tan shoes at an 11 o’clock break' fast. If you know a nice, prime, tidy old New England town—Kennebunk, Me., for instance—I can make a picture of Honolulu for you by merely splashing in a little tropical scenery for a back ground. Instead of the white picket fence of the New England town, put in a tall hibiscus hedge covered with heavy, brilliant crimson blossoms the size of a cocoanut. In place of the oaks or elms growing in the front yard substitute slender twisted cocoanut palms lean ing perilously before the steady north east trades. For the modest shrubs growing in tubs, scatter about groups of luxurian banyans. Where the fra grant unobtrusive beds of pansies, sweet Williams and violets grow along the edge of the piazza and about the steps, conceive great,- brilliant hued, flowering plants of the tropics, whose names I am not enough of a botanist to know. Now. imagine, if you can, a severely plain New England house, but orna mented with the architectural ginger bread horrors of the late ’80’s, set in this lush magnificence of sub-tropical vegetation. The house of the banker and the county judge would have an avenue of royal palms instead of the more common cocoanut. That is one impression of Honolulu. As one might say, a Salvation Army girl with her cheeks painted and her eyebrows pen cilled. This is the one bill of complaint that the visiting stranger with a passion for the fitness of things can bring against the citizens of Honolulu; that when they came tot build their homes they did not take advantage of their scenic environment. The omission is easily accounted for, The first white settlers who came here were mission aries from New England, and they have made a deep impression on the islands. When they came to build their homes they built, the only sort of houses they knew anything about. The only concession made was in adding deep, cool, shady lanais (porches) and in subdividing the interior of the house- into a? few rooms as possible. The late comers followed the exam pie of their predecessors, and did not strike out along new lines. Unlike the gay and artistic homes-builders of Vic toria, B. C., they did not build for themselves rambling bungalows and bower them with creeping roses hnd flowering vines. This isn’t to say that Honolulu isn’t a delight to the eye. for it is. But the people have not lived up . DUN’S REPORT OF BANK CLEARINGS FOR JUNE. Bank clearings in June, u reported by R. G. Dtw Sb Oa. show further development to trade, total exchangee for the month, at all cities United States, outside New To , being $4,767,300,601, an increese of 7.7 per cent over feat year and 16.6 per cent over June, 1905. The increase Is mainly In the West There is still a loss in bank exchanges at New York City, due to the much smaller volume of security trading and the much lower aecurt.y ▼sines this year than in either of th* two preceding years, and to some extent this condition affects th* Boston and Philadelphia figures unfavorably, and this eauaes a small doorcase ta the New England and Middle States. The increase at Pittsburg reflects the contiiwed activity in the iron trade, and the large gain at Chisago and other leading Western cities reflect the greater activity in grain and higher grain valnee, though trade in all lines ia very active at the Went mid payments prompt. There is an increase at Baltimore. Cincinnati and St Louis, but a small loss at New Orleans and Louisville. San Francisco and other Pacific coast points report a large him naan in ex changee. The average dally figures include New York City bank exchanges, and the amount at New York Is so large and the loss so heavy, that a decrease in the average daily figuras ap pears in the comparison with last year for every month but March, that month being the only month this year in which New York reports a gain, and the only month this year in which stock trading was more active than in the preceding year.

One peers about eagerly and in vain for the grass huts and semi-nude natives of the picture postcards. It Is in the people, their mode of life, and the customs of their hospitality that one finds the typical island life, rather than in the houses, whose architecture has been drawn from the “missionary spirit.” Asiatic Preponderance. Looked down upon from a balloon Honolulu might be any New England seaport town of 50,000 people, were it not for background of volcanic hills and mountains and the fronds of the cocoanut palms silhouetted against the blue color of the sky. The church spires of every American town rige from the greenery. In the business section of the town’ there are modern shops and office buildings of the same type to be seen in every American city. The streets are macadamized and traversed by an excellent system of trolley cars. It is only in the pic turesque street life .and the prepon derance of Asiatics that one first sees difference from things as they are at home. Delicate iittle adventures em broider the routine of the day. One day an automobile taking us out to "Waikiki and around Diamond Head suffered a mishap to its interior econ omy opposite the aquarium. I went in to see the preposterous fishes, leaving the chauffeur to dree his weird alone. The aquarius building is simply two bisecting corridors with a rough-hewn stone 'basin full of goldfish set into the ground in the center of the building. Seated on the low stone coping of this basin was a captivating little family party; a Chinese mother wear ing brightly embroidered silk trousers and a dtill green brocaded coat made after the simple fashion of the jacket of a pair of pajamas. She had jade pieces set in gold about her neck. With her were two of the tiniest, cleanest, most gayly bedecked little Chinese ba bies ever seen off the sides of a tea jar. Each of them held a huge ship’s biscuit in his chubby fist, feeding crunibs to the goldfish. The woman knew a few words of English, and I invited myself to the party] The little ones shared their provender with me, and cackled softly when the voracious fish would rise almost out of the water to snap at the falling crumbs. No one ever thinks of a Chinaman as laughing in enjoyment of such simple scenes, yet three who came In were reduced to audible chuckling over the play of the children and my effort to establish lin gual communication with the mother. Honolulu has about 50.000 inhabit ants, of whom about only 7.000 are white: The others are Japanese, Cf i- nese, Hawalians. Portuguese, Koreans, Porto Ricans, and various permuta tions and combinations thereof. There are a few negroes in the city, but I did not see one of them. Local and long-di3tance telephone wires are strung all about the city: there is wireless communication with the other islands of the group and cable connec tion with the United States. Honolulu Newspapers. Three excellent daily newspapers are printed in English. They receive & ca ble report of one hundred words daily from the mainland: fifty words in the morning and fifty words in the after noon. One -day the principle item in this dally news report was this strik ing piece of intelligence: MADRID. May 11.—The young Prince of Asturias is a blonde. Here are some other samples of the suffered from infections brought by ships. They have dearly purchased the knowledge of the value and neces sity of sanitation. Life is not the savage competition here that it is at home. The stream of affairs moves drowsily between pleasant banks. No one lets business interfere with pleasure. The people take plenty of time to divert them selves as one golden sunlit day and soft silvery night succeeds another. Out at Waikiki they have a wonderful curved crescent of hard white beach with blue seas booming in ceaselessly. Every day In the year the surf is full of bathers. The little children living in the cottages along the beach front spend their entire days in the milk- wdrrn water, Instead of on their green lawns. By the time they are six they move about in the water with the un conscious skill of fishes. Surf Riding. At Waikiki there is practiced a sport which can be found only in the south ern Pacific. This is surf riding. This may be done in an outrigger canoe or on a surf board. One paddles far out beyond the line of breakers to where the great combers begin to form and uprear their crested heads. Then seiz ing the right moment the canoe is driven furiously towards the shore un til it is caught on the crest of a wave and driven shoreward with a dizzying velocity. It is a ride that makes a to boggan slide seem almost tame. With the surf boards the Kanaka boys spring upright as soon as they are- caught up by the waves, and come sliding inshore apparently standing on the crest of the wave, like some young water god, their olive-hued bodies glistening with spray and shining in the sun. Gay, But Not “Fast.” Honolulu has the reputation of being a gay place. It is. but without being “fast.” In the old days it welcomed every newcomer warmly and did not inquire too closely about his or her credentials. Steamer days are still marked with a red ring on the calen dar. Al! the tide of travel between the Pacific coast and the Far East and Australia halts for a day and a night at Honolulu, both going out and com ing back again. There is always danc ing at the hotels In the evening when a steamer comes in. There are fights and music, soft laughter and bright eyes to entertain the visitor, even though he come for but a da'y, for these are a pleasure loving people, and much given to a generous hospitality. E. G. Xi. ATLANTA, Ga., July 6.—The follow ing military staff changes are sched uled to be made at an early date by Governor Smith: Hon. W. B. m'c- Cants, of Winder, will be named as commissary general of subsistence, with tho rank of colonel. The position is now held by Col. Morris Weslosky. of Albany. Capt. Barry Wright, of Rome, a lawyer, will' be appointed as judge advocate general with the rank of colonel, succeeding Col. Geo. M. Napier, of Atlanta. Col. Harry Sil verman, of Atlanta, will be succeeded as quartermaster general by Hon. H. H. Fitzpatrick, of Madison. Morgan County. It is practically certain that the Governor will name as aides-de- camp on his military staff Capt. John A. Clark, of Augusta: Lieut. Rodney Cohen, of Augusta; Hon. J. A,. Horn, of Milledgeville; Hon. S. M. Clyatt, of Tifton; Hon. Floyd A. Scales, of , Waynesboro. The military code of 1905. which now regulate the National Guard of Georr gia, limits the Governor’s staff to for ty-eight members, twenty-eight, of whom wifi be aides-de-camp, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

The agitation for Government relief of the vine growing industry in South ern France, which was started some weeks ago by an obscure viticulturist, one Marcelin Albert, has gradually ac quired formidable proportions. What are the grievance? They may be reduced to one, namely, the low price obtainable for the wines on the production of which the natives of Southern France mainly rely for their support. It is doubtless true that the prevailing prices for most of the wines produced in the four departments of Herauit. Aude, Haute Garonne and Pyrenees Orientales are so low that they do not afford the cultivator margin of profit above the cost of production. The disastrous decline in values is imputed by the vine growers to the competition of adulterated or fabricated wines, which undoubtedly have flooded the Fbrench market for some years. Cette, the Mediterranean port which lies in the heart of the re gion concerned in the present agita tion, has itself long been a notorious offender on this score. So far as this grievance is concerned the French Par liament has passed law after law in tended to abate it, and the present Minister of Finance has expressed a willingness to introduce supplemental legislation on the subject. The legisla tion, however, is certain to encounter opposition on the part of- the potato growers and beet root cultivators of France, who furnish the material out of which artificial wines and brandies are made. Some Paris newspapers suggest that the vine growers of Southern France should be looked upon as the victims of a catastrophe and should re ceive a Government subsidy proi« cities and large towns, they have for two or three decades shown themselv»s Inclined to prefer a small glass of :i+v spirits to a bottle of ordinary wine. The shrinkage of demand has been at tended with a surplus of supply. For some years the wine growers of the Midi have had to compete with extra ordinary harvest garnered in the vine yards of other section^ of France. In stead of taking warning from the shrinkage in consumption and from the excess of competitive production to re duce their own acreage In vines and to devote a considerable fraction of their lands to mixed crops, they have con tinued to rely solely on their vineyards for a livelihood, with the result that almost all the viticulturists in the four departments above named are poor and many, of them are starving. What is to be done now that, owing to the sweeping resignation of the civil authorities s state of things scarcely distinguishable from anarchy exists t.-.roughout the \<-hole of the country formerly known as Languedoc? Ex per rience has taught French statesmen that owing to the excitable tempera ment of their countrymen it is but a short step from dislike of a given Min istry- to angry repudiation of a political, regime.

Thomas Hardy, however, who has made the sale of a wife the theme of his novel. “The Mayor of Casterbridge,” says nothing of any such conditions. As kite as 18S7 a wife was sold in a halter at Wakefield for half a guiena, while three years before two cases were reported from York in the same week. As a general rule it was only the poor and ignorant who fol lowed this practice: but at least one case is on record in which the- wife (duly haltered) and her husband drove up to Smfthfield in a coach, and the price reached the record figure of fifty guineas and a handsome horse. “I sell my wife at Smiffel. ros-bif, pot of beer, God-dam” was the ignor- ant Frenchman's view of English.
