Dr. Kekow and Mr. Wirlh, tbe Ger man experts scut to examine the Americau meat exportiuK trade, aflci inspecting tho Chicago packing houses, have expressed their surprise and admiration at tbe perfection and cleanlineaa of American methoda. Germany's new law regulating the importation of live cattle and meat products, paaaed by the Beiobstag last wiuter, made provision for a special examiuation of pork fot trichinic. Theae gentlemen say that uur own methods of bog inspection are for beller than the new German system. If trichina, are found iu Gerinau pork, toi- example, the meat may be put ou the market after being thoroughly cooked, while bere pork impaired in auy way is worked up iulo by-products that are not used aa food.
For many years trade unions of men au.l women have existed, bnt strictly women's unions have beou fewer and not nearly so snccessfnl. It bas beeu asserted time and again that women will j^ot form trade unions; thnt wo¬ men do not euter trades and profes¬ sions aa a life business, but ouly as a temporary "tide over" and aspire to inariiago as the only uniou iusliluteil for her well beiug and relief. Tho only ground for these assertions is tbat women have not yet t.i any great extent successfully maintained trade unions, wbicb is perhaps because they have uot thoroughly un.lerstood how to go abont it. Unt the wheels of iulel- lect have not been atill, the eyes cloaed, nor the hands idle, and a more praotical an.l thorough understanding of their position and worth iu tbe iu dustrial wurld ie'the reauil.

A wise mau saiil that to his sou, aud ho remcu- be r e d it one troubled doy long afterwards,
Phil Everett was to have been a doctor, like all the Everett men, but after the accideut that made his father a helpless cripple, be gave that up and went into the great bouse of Hyrd .t Hull, there to learn bneinesa and make a living for the family, for it was fouud that there waa littlu money to the fore.
He faced a now- life there; he did not even kuow the lauguage of the strange world that he had set out to couipier. But no matter, Mark .Ap¬ plelon ma.le fricn.Is with him at onoe, and wisdom and Mark .\pple(on traveled together. Mark knew il all; he Imd the whole aystem of business straight and clear iu bis mind. And he was so bright aud friendly ami al¬ together captivating! Such a frieud must be the safest of all guides—if be were not tbe moat perilous.
Instruction began at once. In his enthusium for work, Phil did souie- tliiug that auother was expected to do, Mark disapproved of that,
"Do the work you're paid for do¬ ing, and let the real aloue, I'hilip. Oh, yes, I know, you weren't thiuk¬ iug about tbe pay: but that's tlie only thing to think about. Vuu don't want to earn money for some uther fellow; tbat isn't Imsineas."
Phil's ardor fur doing tho best be oonld was a little chilleil. Another day be modestly let an older mau have nu nxcellcut assigumi^nt that he might have had himself. Ho ivas laughed at by tbo rest, nud Mark Icclureil him agciu,
"Hero's the flrst principle of bnai¬ ness, my friend: Got close up to liie band! Never lose a chancj lo get to the front!"
That was the aubstnncc of Mark Appletou's business creel; and day by .lay Phil heard the details of it,
".Somebody baa to march behind; see that your're not the one!"
"It'a just as fail- ior you lopusli the rest back, as it woul.l bo for tho rest to posh vou back,"
"If you tnke the prize, thc rost nro no w-oiao oil' thau you'd be if some other fellow took it."
"You'll bj shouldered out of youv placo if you dou't shoulder soiaoboJy else oul, Nevor mind about tbeolher fellows. TLe place ahead of yuu is yours, if you can get it."
"You can't stop for questions. Success--'rhat's whnt you wnul. |.\ud after yon gal that, there wou't be any (]uesti.ius asked."
Phil listened, fasciuateil; soon he called the talk inspiring; next he found it cuuviiiciug. Tho talk lu- used tu bear frum that (ithercomraile, bis father, was very dilTeront, but then—well, these were new times, and old uations were oui of date. So the loving suu of an houoreil father took counsel with tlie teacher of new no liuns, and said nolliing abuut them at home.
.\t last nuo day, after the new- re- crnit bad followe.l Mark Appleluus flag pretty far into the swatui', he came tu the forks of the road.
Tills was the .lay for tho 1- reiv os- aigunieut, the liest ouo ul the year The Frew contra<:t was hard tu get, and to be chosen to go after it was in itself a promotion. The one so trusted was unUrat. oil to be well started ou ilia business career, (ien- erally the assignment eame in rota¬ tion, bul thot rule was snliject to ei- ceplious. This time it was cxpecteil logoto.Ii.hu Warner; Phil was glal of that, fur he likc.l .foliu. uml then' were liaril times in tlie Wm-iier house.
Phil was working alone, when an order came for bim tu g.) into the private oflice of Mr. HIack, tbe man¬ ager uf thc .Icpartmeul. He w-ent, wouderiug Mr. HIack began on him wilh his usual  aliruptucss.
"You haven't been hcre very long, Everett, I.nt you've ho.l plenty ..f in¬ struction siuce you came: and"—he smiled bere, a .jiieer little smile — ".vuu appear to be a rather willing learner.
"Your father and I have alwtya beeu friemls. and laiu willing togivl your falher s sou thc bcal chance e can put IU his way.' He stopped again, and luuke.1 of! iutu space, w-bile Puii begau tu turu hul and cold. "It is a little irregular, bul llie Kreiv assignment is yours, il  you   "aut it."
The Frew assigumeut' His if he wanted it. He staiiiinereil i.ut sume tbiug. liut the luauager iuterrupted bim witli a gesture of dismissal be¬ fore he could eveu say how thankful be was.
