There is decidedly more snow also a somewhat lower average with winter temperature on the edge of Yonkers than at the southwestern extremity of Staten Island. While the highest point of the city is the ridge near the center of Staten Island, where the elevation at, several points exceeds four hundred feet above sea level, the general elevation in the up- per portion of the city is considerably greater than that of the parts south of Central Park. There are at least 150 Filipino stu- dents in American colleges. 2 (>) ; A By ‘th © psoil, of Lillydale, N.Y., Grand Worthy Wise Templar, and Member of W.C.T.U,, tells how she recov- ered by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. * DEAR MRS. PINKHAM :—] am one of the many of your grateful friends who have been cured through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and who can to-day thank ti for the fine health I enjoy. When I was thirty-five years old, I suffered severe backache and frequent bearing-down pains; in fact, I had womb trouble. I was very anxious to t well, and reading of the cures your mpound had made, I decided to try it. I took only six bottles, but it built me up and cured me entirely of my troubles. “My family and relatives were naturally as gratified as I was. My niece had heart trouble and nervous prostration, and was considered incur- able. She took your Vegetable Com- pound and it cured her ina short time, and she became well and strong, and her home to her great joy and her hus- band’s delight was blessed with a baby. I know of a number of others who have been cured of different kinds of female trouble, and am satisfied that your Compound is the best medicine for sick women.” — Mrs. EL1zABETH H.

MANNERS IN BUSINESS, : gras § Brains and Good Deportment a Win. ning Combination. = - The value of brains in business cannot be overestimated, of course. But neither can the value of manners. Don’t make the error of supposing that brains are everything. You may have the best set of brains in the town, but if you haven't the manners of a gentleman nobody is going to appreciate you. Your manner is the outward indication of what you are within, in the estimate of most peo- ple, and if the manner is disagreeable few will take the trouble to examine into you any further. The consensus of general opinion is that the man who goes about with porcupine quills as his manners hasn’t any brains worth bothering about. Did you never -notice that the men who employ large forces of intelli gent people look at an applicant closely, ask a few seemingly unim- portant questions and promptly em- ploy or dismiss him? They don’t sound his brain depth; they don’t ob tain his biography; they don’t in- quire into his social standing; they size him up from his manners, and if he is brass on the surface they don’t look for gold within, The employer knows that if an ap- plicant’s manner strikes him favor- ably it will also favorably strike peo- ple with whom he comes in contact in his work. And nobody knows bet- ter than a big business man that a favorable first impression means half the sale. People are apt to think that if there is any place where man- ners are of little consequence, it is in business, where cold calculation so largely takes the place of feeling. But the truth is that nowhere else are manners of such importance as in every day dealings. There is no capi- tal and equipment any young man can have that will pay him better than good manners. There is no possible calling for which this does not better fit him. If he has brains, the world owes him something, but unless he has good manners he will have a hard time collecting it—Kansas City ‘World. About one thousand six hundred skilled glass cutters in 20 towns in Bohemia have struck. Work is done by the piece at prices which give the average wage 45 cents a day. The skill of these famous Bohemian glass cutters depends upon the fact that they are trained to it from the age of 6 years.

R. G. Dunn & Co.'s “Weekly Re- view of Trade” says: Reports of improvement in the volume of busi- ness outnumber unfavorable dis- patches, although the situation is de- cidedly irregular. As the money mar- ket becomes easier there is better prospect of postponed work being re- sumed, as all structural lines are largely dependent upon the ability of the railroads to borrow money and the restoration of confidence among investors. Many iron and steel plants have resumed, but the preceding curtailment was very severe. Dis tribution of merchandise increases with more normal weather and cloth- ing houses report general orders for spring goods from salesmen at the West and South. Only a moderate improvement has appeared in the de- mand for iron and steel products, al though the resumption of idle plants has attained encouraging proportions. In so far as pig iron is concerned the wesk has brought a slightly lower range of prices without stimulating inquiries, and most departments re- port no change in, the attitude of pur- chasers, who are waiting for more at- tractive terms. This disposition is specially conspicuous as to steel rails, consumers insisting that the price should change in response to the low- er cost of materials, Bradstreet’s says: While war talk and weather conditions have operated to raise prices of food products, the unquestionable improvement in the tone of trade is the mainspring of the upward swing in prices of iron and steel, the other metals and hides and leather, which, with the advance in raw textiles, helped to raise the gen eral level of values of staple pro- ducts to close to the highest for a year past and 37 per cent. above the low point of 1896, though 7 per cent. below the high point of 1900. Old Pen Sketches of Dante Found. Prof. Giovanni Livi, director of the state archieves at Bologna, which town is the center of Dante’s fame, has found a parchment dated 1323 on which are two pen sketches represent ing Dante crowned by Bologna.

Various are the expedients which Russia brings into requisiticn in car- rying out her ends, writes Charles W. Barnaby, in the World's Work. Priv- ileges are obtained for her merchants and caravans to pass into or through the coveted country for trade; to open stores and banks; to trade at ports and navigate rivers; to establish post route with their various stations for exchange of drivers and horses, and to install consuls at various places. Concessions are secured for cutting timber, or opreating mines on certain tracts of land, and rights are pro- duced whereby Russia and her sub- jects may buy land and build consu- lates, stores and factories, and also dwellings for those who are connect- ed with the various enterprises. Rights are also obtained, or taken, to protect consulates and other Russian property, and to protect the Christian subjects of an unchristian govern- ment. Army reconnoitering expe- ditions are sent into the country with goods, disguised as merchants, or accompanied by a detachment of Cossacks and claiming to be scienti- fic expeditions. Out of pure gener- osity concessions which when asked for are represented as unimportant, assume great significance after they are granted, and are rigorously en- forced and greatly expanded.
