If a man doesn't love his wock, h«? had better get something else to do. Bat the trouble is that such people will hardly love any kind of work. The trouble is in them. They lack intelligence. If they knew enough to know good work they would soon learn to love it. The manual train- ing scheme has this in view.to sur¬ round the job a man is doing with such intelligence and taste as will make i: attractive to him. "The man who is in love with his job gets more contentment out of life than any other," says Brander Matthews; and he gets a great part of his* contentment in doing his work ! right. No man can love his work who shirks. No man can be content- ed who is dishonest about his work. This ^%s shirking or doing it negli¬ gently. So these things always go together.honest work, contentment and love of the job. Although the steamship is a cent¬ ury old there are still more than C6,- 000 sailing vessels on the high seas.

Bradstreet'8 says: except for the fact that unseason¬ ably warm weather tends to retard the fullest development of retail in heavy-weight and winter goods, the general trade and industrial re¬ port this week is one of widespread and increasing activity. Jobbing trade in dry goods, millinery, shoes, clothing, hardware and, in fact, most linos of distribution is active, holi¬ day demand is broadening and spring trade reports are very good, increases being general in nearly all lines. The same is true of industrial opera- tions, iron and steel being as active as ever, with outputs close to or in excess of the maximum. Coal is in in increasing demand, and I tim¬ ber and other material is active. All this. It might be remarked, oc¬ curs with prices of commodities at a high level, and with reports of stock of raw materials and of manu¬ factured goods in no apparent way burdensome or holding forth promise of early becoming so. In the cotton goods trade, it Is true, the very great advance in raw material at a time of nearly record movement to mark¬ et Is a source of unsettloincut. Many mills North and South have announc¬ ed curtailment in time run, but the Fall River mills have not as yet join¬ ed in the movement, and the feeling is widespread that the coarse goods trade will feel the brunt of the prom¬ ised curtailment.

Hill as something of a Jeremiah or Cato, the elder, were it not that he usually has a way of proving the things he says by figures. Just now he tells us that it is quite possible that many persons now living will feel the pinch of hunger. He considers that if things go on as at present by the middle of this century there will be a population of 200,000,000 souls and not nearly enough food for them. He is particularly pessimistic on the wheat situation. He insists that un¬ less radical steps are taken soon, 40 years hence we shall have to import 400,000,000 bushels of wheat ruinu- ally at a cost of $600,000,000 and we shall not have the money to pay for it even if it can be secured at any price. Of course, we may eat a lot of corn bread, but that will mean that the meat supply will be cut down. There is a way out of this difficul¬ ty, but M \ Hill isn't supine as to our taking it.

When Miss Constance Colttèl I playing Roma in "The Eternal City," Hall Caine was anxious to get a pow¬ erful effect in a certain scene she was taking with the late Robert Taber, and the former was himself in a vein of reminiscence. "I once saw," said Mr. Calne, **a very striking bit of business. The man picked up the woman and thr^rr her over his shoulder." Miss Collier looked at him in con¬ sternation, for she would be rather a heavy person to throw about. How¬ ever, they did their best, but their futile efforts were interrupted by Mr. Tr. "That reminds me," said the actor- manager. 'I saw a play in Italy once In which the hero caught hold of the heroine 1 y the legs and iaJhged her head on the floor." "Splendid. A magnificent idea!"

"In the present depression of the poetry market poets shouldn't mar¬ ry." he said. Rut Watson has al¬ ways been proud, unreasonably proud, and self-confident. "Watson walked into the sanctum of an English magizino editor one dav, laid down a long ode on the desk and said: " 'Here's that 32-stanza ode I offered you three years ago.' " 'But I refused it three years ago,' said the editor, turning the pages of the manuscript disdainfully. " Yes,' Watson agreed, 'that is true.' " Then, if I refused it, why do you bring it back to me now?* " 'You have had three years' ex¬ perience since then,' said Watson, 'and I thought you m iglú have learned by this time to tell literature from trash.'

This is a drug found by chemists In coffee and tea. A woman suffered a long time with severe heart trouble and finally her doctor told her she must give up coffee, as that was the principal cause of the trouble. She writes: "My heart was so weak it could not do Jis work properly. My hus¬ band would sometimes have to carry me from the table, and it would seem that I would never Lreathe again. "The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart. He said I must stop It, but it seemed I could not give it up until 1 was down in bed with nervous prostration "For eleven weeks ! lay there and suffered. Finally Husband brought home some Postum and I quit coffee and started new and right. Slowly 1 got well. Now 1 do not have any headaches, nor those spells with weak heart.

With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoy¬ ment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may be dis¬ pensed with to advantage, but under or- dinary conditions in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invalu¬ able if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is alikM important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it.

Loving One's Work.If a man doesn't love his wock, h«?

had better get something else to do.Bat the trouble is that such peoplewill hardly love any kind of work.The trouble is in them. They lackintelligence. If they knew enoughto know good work they would soonlearn to love it. The manual train-ing scheme has this in view.to sur¬round the job a man is doing withsuch intelligence and taste as willmake i: attractive to him.

"The man who is in love with hisjob gets more contentment out oflife than any other," says BranderMatthews; and he gets a great partof his* contentment in doing his work! right. No man can love his workwho shirks. No man can be content-ed who is dishonest about his work.This ^%s shirking or doing it negli¬gently. So these things always gotogether.honest work, contentmentand love of the job.

COMMERCIALWeekly Review of Trade and

Market Reports.Bradstreet'8 says:except for the fact that unseason¬

ably warm weather tends to retardthe fullest development of retailin heavy-weight and winter goods,the general trade and industrial re¬port this week is one of widespreadand increasing activity. Jobbingtrade in dry goods, millinery, shoes,clothing, hardware and, in fact, mostlinos of distribution is active, holi¬day demand is broadening and springtrade reports are very good, increasesbeing general in nearly all lines.The same is true of industrial opera-tions, iron and steel being as activeas ever, with outputs close to orin excess of the maximum. Coal isin in increasing demand, and I tim¬ber and other material is active.All this. It might be remarked, oc¬curs with prices of commodities ata high level, and with reports ofstock of raw materials and of manu¬factured goods in no apparent wayburdensome or holding forth promiseof early becoming so. In the cottongoods trade, it Is true, the very greatadvance in raw material at a timeof nearly record movement to mark¬et Is a source of unsettloincut. Manymills North and South have announc¬ed curtailment in time run, but theFall River mills have not as yet join¬ed in the movement, and the feelingis widespread that the coarse goodstrade will feel the brunt of the prom¬ised curtailment.

Shall We Soon Starve?One might look upon J. J. Hill as

something of a Jeremiah or Cato,the elder, were it not that he usuallyhas a way of proving the things hesays by figures. Just now he tellsus that it is quite possible that manypersons now living will feel the pinchof hunger. He considers that ifthings go on as at present by themiddle of this century there will bea population of 200,000,000 soulsand not nearly enough food for them.He is particularly pessimistic on thewheat situation. He insists that un¬less radical steps are taken soon, 40years hence we shall have to import400,000,000 bushels of wheat ruinu-ally at a cost of $600,000,000 andwe shall not have the money to payfor it even if it can be secured at anyprice. Of course, we may eat a lotof corn bread, but that will meanthat the meat supply will be cutdown.

There is a way out of this difficul¬ty, but M \ Hill isn't supine as toour taking it. He wants the farmersto educate their boys to be farmersand to be better farmers than anynow living. He wants the people totake an Immediate interest in thematter of food supply, because if thematter Is postponed much longer itwill be too late to obviate an im¬mense amount of suffering..Phila¬delphia Inquirer.

Tree Tells of a Thriller.Beerbohm Tree is always interest¬

ing and entertaning, epigrammatic inconversation and delightfully out¬spoken.When Miss Constance Colttèl Iplaying Roma in "The Eternal City,"Hall Caine was anxious to get a pow¬erful effect in a certain scene she wastaking with the late Robert Taber,and the former was himself in avein of reminiscence."I once saw," said Mr. Calne, **a

very striking bit of business. Theman picked up the woman and thr^rrher over his shoulder."

Miss Collier looked at him in con¬sternation, for she would be rather aheavy person to throw about. How¬ever, they did their best, but theirfutile efforts were interrupted byMr. Tr.

"That reminds me," said the actor-manager. 'I saw a play in Italy onceIn which the hero caught hold of theheroine 1 y the legs and iaJhged herhead on the floor."

"Splendid. A magnificent idea!"Interpolated the enthusiastic author."What was the play?"" Punch and Judy,' " replied Mr.Tree..Strand.

They Never Learn."So William Watson, the British

poet, has married an Irish girl! Wat¬son, to be sure, has a governmentposition of $10 a week. Still-"The speaker, a leading member ofthe Franklin Inn, of Philadelphia,shook bis head ominously."In the present depression of the

poetry market poets shouldn't mar¬ry." he said. Rut Watson has al¬ways been proud, unreasonablyproud, and self-confident.

"Watson walked into the sanctumof an English magizino editor onedav, laid down a long ode on thedesk and said:

" 'Here's that 32-stanza ode Ioffered you three years ago.'" 'But I refused it three yearsago,' said the editor, turning thepages of the manuscript disdainfully." Yes,' Watson agreed, 'that istrue.'

" Then, if I refused it, why doyou bring it back to me now?*

" 'You have had three years' ex¬perience since then,' said Watson,'and I thought you miglú havelearned by this time to tell literaturefrom trash.' ".Washington Tost.

SOME IIAIU> KNOCKSWoman _ets Kid of "Coffet; Heart.'*

The Injurions action of Coffee onthe heart of many persons is wellknown by physicians to be caused bycaffeine. This is a drug found bychemists In coffee and tea.

A woman suffered a long time withsevere heart trouble and finally herdoctor told her she must give upcoffee, as that was the principal causeof the trouble. She writes:

"My heart was so weak it couldnot do Jis work properly. My hus¬band would sometimes have to carryme from the table, and it would seemthat I would never Lreathe again.

"The doctor told me that coffeewas causing the weakness of myheart. He said I must stop It, butit seemed I could not give it up until1 was down in bed with nervousprostration

"For eleven weeks ! lay there andsuffered. Finally Husband broughthome some Postum and I quit coffeeand started new and right. Slowly 1got well. Now 1 do not have anyheadaches, nor those spells with weakheart. We know It Is Postum thathelped roe. The Dr. said the otherday, 'I never thought you would bewhat you are.' I used to weigh 92pounds and now I weigh 158.
