“Tam Kinds of Business Trainlnt.
Edward W. Bok continues his papers
lnThe Cosmopolitan: on the subject of
The latest is
devoted to the duties of employers. Mr.
Bok says. among other things, that he
honestly believes an employer consults
his wisest interests by voluntarily in-
creasing the salaries of those who do-
serve it. A raise in pay comes with pe-
culiar graciousness when the employee
is not obliged to ask for it. wringing it.

right minded employee who gets such
increase will redouble his efforts and
will regard his employer from that time
on as his friend. Nothing so encourages
better work as appreciation for past good

0! the two systems of business train
in; in vogue. the honest and the dishon-
est one, Mr. Bolt says:
As an otllce boy I had the most perfect train-
inupossihle to become an accomplished liar.
‘i I was told at least half a dozen times a day to
any to callers that my chief was out when he
wasln. At home [was taught that truthful-
nen and honesty were the current coins in
business.and yet dav after dm [was shown
the falsity of it by my nuploy.cr l refused to
liofor myself. and yet I was compelled to lie '
for-nether. \Vhen l boron" a f opyist. it was
asked. of mono write letters chh I knew to
heabsointoly contrary to existing farts. And
yet! was in the employ of one of the largest
corporations in the world and one of honorable
repute.
My direct chief was a man esteemed alike
in business and social circles. lie was. too. a
recognized pillar in the church. The result
was. as I can see now. that 1 formed an en-
tirely wrong conception of the true and best
methods of business. It n as not long before i
became delightfully skillful at the art of rule-
representation. in my second xmsltion I found
it was necessary for me to unlearn what I had
learned in my previous post. My lines were
thrown. most fortunately for me. with a man
to whom integrity Was more than policy.
From him I learned healthful lessons. At his
side I started. llis influence happily was
strong upon me. and the respect he command-
ed from me at that time has l't mained with
me ever sinte. lie taught me well. so well
that. although more than 15 y cars hm e passed.
the lessons i learned from him are as fresh
with me today and as pleasant and profitable
to recall as when l was his rather amateurish
stenographer. and. as i liked to believe. his prl.
vale secretary.
I can recall how that he never treated me use
bonhnt always gave me that feeling thatl
had the instincts ofa man which some day i
would be destined to realize. Ila had faith in
me. and he did not hide it from me. Step by
stop he remained at my side. graduating me
from one position to another. until he feltl
had found my proper atmosphere. ills hand
always steadied me: his influenced felt. was
never far from me. And today. if I have one
feellnl more thoroughly satisfactory than any
other, it is that the adviser of my boyhood and
my friend of today. Mr. (‘iursnm Fury of New
York. believes that his («influence in me was
not misplac ed.
The use... Club [magma
Some three years ago a young Ameri-
‘can newspaper man.Mr.T. J. Kcenan.Jr..
of the Pittsburg Purse, was struck with
the bright thought of forming agreat
international union of press clubs. The
union should include men's and women's
separate press organizations aswell as
those to which both sexes lMlltlllgfi‘ll. The
federation was to extend all over the
United States. into Canada. and take in
Europe. Even a Chinese or liottentot
press club might belong to it.
The aim was to spread the idea of fra-
ternity and solidarity among newspaper
people everywhere and to make them
unite in measures for their common ben-
efit. The league was formed according
to the programme laid down by Mr.
Keenan and . a few other newspaper
man. One of the things it has already
achieved is the beginning of a home for
indigent. invalid and superannuated
journalists. The home will occupy a
beautiful site in Remapo valley, New
Janey. The ground was donated for
this purpose by Mr. Vernham. a wealthy
gentleman who liked journalists.
Another part of the properties of the
International League of Press Clubs is
an aunnrd convention and isolating
tour,andwhich is greater the pleasure
or profit of that tour, no man has as yet
‘ been able to say. This year. the lat of

v The Pineapple Industry.
' If all fads Were as beneficial as that
which makes thedrinking of pineapple
juice popular at present. then fads would
be a good thing. The pineapple juice is
pressed out of the fruit by a lemon
squeezer and drunk just before breakfast
or at any other time of day. A wine-
glassful taken at one time is both an up
petizer and a promoter of digestion. Old
bachelors who like to have a good com-
plexion are informed that there is said to
be nothing like it for producing a clear
skin. Drink the juice clear. Sugar spoils
it and hinders its best effects. ‘
The only trouble is that there are not
pineapples enough to goaronnd. If the
price of them were half what it is‘now,
everybody could have the enjoyment
and benefit of them. Florida is said to
be the only state in the Union where
they will grow. but this is probablya
mistake. In Florida. however, particu-
larly in the vicinity of beautiful Lake
Worth. pineapple culture, is a rapidly
growing and lucrative industry. It is to
be hoped. the industry will grow till
pineapples are as cheap proportionally
as oranges.
There is a double source of income
from the pineapple plant. The fruit is
so healthful that it ought to be in reach
of all the people in this country. But.
besides this, the leaf furnishes a fiber of
extraordinary strength and fineness, mak-
ing it even more valuable than the fruit.
The fiber is made into ropes. cables,
binding twine, etc. A pineapple rope
81} inches thick supported in a testnoariy
three tons. A textile fabric as fine and
beautiful as silk is made of this fiber too.
His so fine and beautiful that the only
wonder is it is not more fashionable.
Little pineapple cloth is seen in the dry
goods shops. What there is is manu-
factured in Spain. where it has long
been in use for hot weather wear.
There is difficulty in separating the
fiber, however. and it is at present done
in slow. wasteful ways. if some live
Yankee Would take hold of the matter
and invent a machine for shredding the
pineapple leaf and then start vast pinc-
apple plantations along the east Florida
coast, fortunes would be realised quit kly.
Applied Christ lanlty.
Certain individuals who scorn to enjoy
it cherish a fallacy that the churches are
dying out in influence. This may have
been true half a dozen years ago. it is
not so now. Protestant. denominations
may not be rapidly increasing their
numbers; but. our! and all. they are in—
creasing timt which is far better than
tianity. They recognize the fact that
ethical teaching and working for the
good of mankind are what is really
wanted. The denominations hunt with
activity in educational and benevolent
work. They recognize that there is a
deeper spiritual side to Christianity than
even the going to church and attending
prayer meetings, and that is practicing
the golden rule and lifting one‘s self and
one's neighbors to a higher. purer plane
of living.
(in all sides there are evidences of
this. Some of the colleges now have
professorships of applied Christianity.
That is what. the race is languishing and
dying for tmlay—applied Christianity. It
is more than creeds. more than splen-
did church edifices, great congregations
and costly church choirs. Rev. George
D. Horton is professor of applied Chris-
tianity in Iowa college. He,has lately
written a book of remarkable power and
eloquence on this very subject of the
world's need of applied Christianity. The
volume is entitled “The New Redemp-
tion. "
It is believed and is sincerely to be
hoped that the international sanitar:
conference which met at Paris will result
in action that will prevent altogether the
entrance of cholera in future into Europe
and America. The United States and
the nations of Europe entered'into a se-
ries of agreements to that end. One of
the agreements was the thorough inspec-
lieu of the pilgrim ships that pass from
north Africa through the Mediterranean.
It will be required under the regulations
of the conference to provide a given
amount of cubic spam to each pilgrim
on shipboard. All ships must carry phy-
sicians. and the drinking water must be
entirely pure. The ships will he more
rigidly quarantined and will be put un-
der a perfect system of medical inspec-
tion. The action of the government of
each of 'the nations represented will of
course be necessary to give the authority
wanted to carry out the regulations, but
there will be no didlcnlty with any coun-
try except Turkey. The members of the
conference are earnestly laboring with
fire sublime porte to make the cholera
regulations afflictlve.
