Each was following a decided bent -which was not to the taste of the other. There Is no better reason for a choice of profession than the determination to 'do one's best work In the best way. The Netherlands government, which owns more than one-half of the rail ways in Holland; finds itself troubled with' strike of the railway employes. It baa decided to ask Parliament to pass a law forbidding the employes of tbe State railways to' strike, and the employes hare decided to strike as,' soon "as the law Is patted.

Among the interesting statistical facts contained in a late rolu'me-of the consular reporta la a tabular state ment ot the value of Germany's trade with Venezuela. The Imports Into Ger many from Venezuela from 1637 to 1001, Inclusive, amounted to 111.083, 800, about 2 per cent of Germany's total Importations. These Imports seem to have fallen off since 1837, when the highest figure was reached. On the other hand, the exports from Ger many to Venezuela, have Increased, the highest figures having been reached In 1001, when they amounted to 1,060, 000. While' the figures 'Indicate that Germany is Increasing its business with Venezuela, they show also that the trade la smsll and an Inconspicu ous figure In the commercial records ot Germany. The number of railroad, accidents that have occurred In tht United States during the last few montht It abnormal and It hat puzzzled the country to account for them. Even tho citizen who hat no railroad expe rience can distinguish very well be tween an unavoidable accident and the other kind. The other kind have ap parently ben the more numerous. The slaughtering of human life In pre ventable railroad accident! Is due to either Incompetency or neglect Now railroad men, or at leatt those trusted with the running of locomotives, are far from Incompetent. They are among the finest men of the country. If they neglect their duties, when the results are generally fatal to themselves. It must be on account ot physical and mental exhaustion, If they are being overworked the practice ihould cease. Public Interest demands this Impera tively, but It Is hard to understand to succeed, and when Mr Mar brick la out another auaaMntaraailonal . . 1 .. question wlll have been settled, much to the' general relief.

A consid eration of the appalling loss of" life from this dlseaae, and the convlcUoa that It Is a preventable aa well aa a. curable malady, led a number of phy sicians and philanthropists a taw years, ago to begin an organised campaign against It- The plan of the campaign Is one primarily of instruction. Interna tional congresses have been held to consider ways and means not only of carmg for the sick and curing the dis ease, but also and chiefly of diffusing knowledge of the affection among the people at large so that, knowing Its na ture and the manner of Its spread, they might Intelligently spply the measures for Its prevention. One congress held In Berlin offered a prize for a popular essay on tuberculosis and bow to com bat It. The prize was won. by an Amer ican physician. Ills little book baa been translated Into all ths leading lan guages of the world, and millions of copies of It have been distributed.

METHODS OF THE SERVANTS IN MANILA WOULD NOT SUIT THE AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE FROM my friends here I learn that much of tbe patriarchal tytttm of living ttlll prevails even in Manila," says an American womau In Tbe Outlook. "In some large houses there sre from twenty to thirty depend ents of all degrees, from poor relations to cooks and scullions. These persons lire about tbe bouse, sleeping In corners, and are dotbed and fed by tbe mistress.

In a way, I suppose, they earn this money, aa they non chalantly polish the hardwood floors or carelessly flap dust from tbe ctnter of tables and chairs. They sit on the floor In kitchens In front of a pan or water and wash tbe dishes that are piled up around tbem, and stack them edgeways along the wall to dry. Surely tbelr ways are not ours, and It Is a shock to tbe nerves to see a kitchen In ths heat of preparation for a banquet of which one Is to partaks latsr.
