“‘Pooh!‘ says the cheerful man, ,‘what‘s that?‘ and he actually taughs at this little picayune trouble. and just brushes it. away and forgets it, making [the faint hearted to laugh and forget t, too; and in time he may bring the easily discouraged man to acquire the blessed habit o! laughing at. all the petty troubles that pop out at. us on the mad of life. and so driving them away, instead of gloomily letting them climb on him to ride on his back. Good man to have amund is the cheerful man. . “‘I haven’t caught a fish toâ€"day.‘ says the disappointedman .in. the fishing tparty, and you‘d :think from his 'g'en- teral castdownness that catching fish was the main object of life, and that if lynu didn’t catch any life, was a failure. ‘ ‘\Vell, I haven't caught any. either,’ ‘says the cheerful man. ‘but I've had a ‘damed good time and I’ve caught anl appetite like a team of horses, and évshat.

His reply was, “No, for it would be impossible to carry on business if such conditions were imposed.” He was almost in- credulous when told of the strict regu- lations in regard to drinking that ob- tain in some of America’s largest busi- ness establishments. Al meal times, throughout the United Kingdom a procession of women with pitchers, buckets or cans may be seen going to some one of the many public- ,houses, never more than a stone’s throw flrom their homes, and often not so far.

He states that there has been a systematic trade in diseased animals, principally tuberculosis cows, carried on in cer- tain country markets in Hampshire and Sussex, but. that owing to the system of inspection that has been adopted the meat no longer .inds its way to Ports- mouth. Tho carcasses, it seems, are now usually sent to London, and from the number of cows that are sold in the markets at prices ranging from 55. to 65s. each it is obvious that there must be regular channels through which suCh teat. can be readily disposed of. Occa- sionally one reads of the conviction in London of some farmer or butcher en- gaged in this filthy and dangerous irat- flc. But there is little doubt that in spite of the vigilance ot the inspectors a good deal of diseased meat is brought into London wd sold tor human con- sumution.
