FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW TRADE SHOWING A REVIVAL Premiums Are Being, Paid for Prompt Shipment of Iron and Steel Orders. New York. II. G. Dun & Compa ny's review of trade will say: "Reports from the principal cities unite in confirming the revival In trade. The prospect is that the Tolume of business will before long attain such proportions that maximum ca Hdty will bo reached and labor be (it a premium. In the Iron and steel trade, ihls condition, indeed, seems to be already in sight, and that the wonderful expansion there la no mere mushroom growth Is evidenced by tho advance orders lor 1910. The railroads are enjoying such Increases In earnings, and such assurances of good crops, that thny are buying free ly of steel rails and other supplies. "In the dry goods market jobbing houses report a much better business than a year ago, and In some conspic uous Instances the figures are run ning ahead of the volume of trade In the corresponding period of 1906. "Orders for Iron and steel are In creasing so rapidly that mills and fur naces experience difficulty In making deliveries, and In some Instances pre miums are being paid for prompt ship ment. "Additional orders for shoes are not coming In very freely and shoe man ufacturers do not look for much busi ness before the close of this month. Buyers feel sure that prices at least will be no higher and consequently continue to delay making contracts. The New n.'Klglnnd factories are pret ty fully employed and have a good volume of business. "The demand for all kinds of hides shows an improvement and a fair amount of business has resulted with a prospect of larger snles. Leather rules quiet and though many varieties are firmly held there are weak spots In other kinds. During the week a decline of one cent per pound occur red In oak-rough leather. "Less favorable crop and weather news caused an advance In prices of the leading farm staples." MARKETS. PITTSBURC. Wheat No. 2 red t Kyo No.:!

New York Sun. To Be a Lady. A prize offered by the Gentlewoman (London) for the best definition of a lady was won by the following effort: "To be a lady means, rightly, to be a gentlewoman who shows by her every word and action a sweet and gentle dignity, with a gracious charm of manner. A woman whose heart is purs and true, who is tender toward all suf fering, who sympathizes with those in trouble, and is ever ready to give that which costs her some effort and self denial. A lady thinks no work derog atory, and no one is deemed too low to receive courtesy and kindness. She Is pure and good In every detail of life, a true friend and a 'ministering angel' in sorrow and in sickness." Jewelry From Old Silver What to do with old silver or gold la no longer a problem to those whose over-supply of both, but especially of silver, has heretofore been a nuisance. What with bridge prizes, Easter and Christmas gifts alone, the accumula tions become serious, many of the ar ticles being of little use. According to Vogue, a clever owner Of this surplus solved the difficulty by turning her silver over to a well known jeweller, who had It put Into the melting pot and afterward con verted Into a handsome single row neck chain of graded silver beads, With earrings to correspond, a single ball for each ear, with an Inset dia mond of fine quality in each ball. Worn with black gowns the effect is exceedingly smart. Gold melted down serves for neck chains or beads. Mrs. Page Clever in Business. Mrs. Thomas Nelson Page has a large income from investments In real estate. She is a keen student of realty values and within the last twelve months has earned large financial re turns by foreseeing increases in Chi cago property. She purchased eleven lots in an outlying district and, as she expected, within a few months the spread of business buildings great ly enhanced the values. She found her self straight on the line of the building for the expanding automobile Indus try, and now she has supplemented her previous purchases by a big plot at a price of $115,000. On this she will build a four-story structure for which a long-term lease already has been signed by an automobile firm. Mrs. Page Is as clever In business as he. husband with the pen. New York Press. Trick of Designers. Not until very recently have fashion designers taken to merging one style with another. This has brought about, among others, two very graceful modes styled the radiation effect and the modified moyenage. Both are best il lustrated by models. In a collection of sample dresses lately placed on display at one of our more up-to-date shops there is one of foulard, a dull blue with an old gold dot In It. It, too, had the appearance of being fashioned with a separate tunic, but was in one piece. The skirt evi dently was cut five or six inches long er than It was desired to be when fin ished, and evened after the drapery or the stimulated tunic had been ar ranged. This was accomplished by drawing the skirt about seven Inches from the bottom up and the upper portion over it in pouched fashion, and then re-arranging it in an undu lating line not necessarily straight That Is, the upper portion, which droops over, should seem to be mere ly caught here and there, when, as a matter of fact, in order to have it re tain the shape that from such a treat ment it would naturally assume. It. would have to be fastened securely to the foundation. Directly In the center front the foulard was Bhlrred with a single thread and the shirring drawn taut This resulted in a radiation of tiny fo!d3 about the point of shirring, and suggested an admirable-opportunity for a motif of some sort. Here It was a half-moon of velvet, matchlag the old a!d of tho dots. At the waist tlie lower line was normal; the belt or girder, which was rounded at the up per edge in exact replica, of the mo tif on ifye skirt, gavo an Empire ef fect, tho Jumper bodice being gather ed into the same minute folds, giving the same radiating effect, and neces tarily, meeting tho skirt-top under the aims. New Haven Register. The First Year. The woods are full of brides now adays and they are thinking their lives will be one long dream of bliss. It's "deary" and "honey" all the time, and the glamour of their dreams still hangs over them. But soon they will begin to under stand that it is not all a dream, says the Indianapolis News. They will re member how grandmother told them on their wedding day that their first year together would be the hardest of all; that the faults of each would ap pear In time and each must learn the lesson of patience if happiness were to last throughout the first year. As the days go by their common In terests develop, and If they each unite in an effort to .bear with the failings of the other, the yoke which seemed sometimes to bind closely will grow easy and be but a companionable tie. It is well to remember what good old William Cowper Bays: The kindest and the happiest pair Will find occasion to forbear, And something, every day they live, To pity, and perhaps forgive. Your Troubles. Arter all, the relativity of human misery Is a matter of profound signifi cance to the miserable. It is Idle to say that we cannot bear our own pang any better because some one else suf fers a sharper one. In point of fact if we do not bear It better for knowing how much more severe it might be, we are either stupid or ungrateful, or both, and which of us is ready to an swer to this charge? It is the tendency of continued physical suffering to re fine the brain and the spirit, and as a class, invalids are not (hill; nor do I think them lacking in gratitude. Take the situation without idle ro mance or misdirected restlessness. You suffer pain. But can you sleepT Generally speaking, can you command a sufficient number of hours' uncon sciousness out of the 24? Then Is pain a secondary and quite manageable af fair. Your nerves are shaken or shat tered. But are you disabled? Can you move about? Then, if you cannot (which is altogether possible), exer cise your nervous system into obed ience, at least, you can control it so far that you ought to thank Heaven for every motor muscle left at your command. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, In Harper's Bazar. Fashion Notes. Fearsome looking birds' heads are mounted on some of the hats. The field marshal's plume, of wav ing white paradise feathers is seen on hats. Velvet pekins are once more re ceiving attention, the stripes alternat ing with the velvet. Some of the newest and smartest of skirt and coat costumes are being made without sleeves. Silk fibre laces are much worn in long sleeve underbodices with recep tion gowns particularly. Green has been heralded as the modish color for spring, but the very latest report says brown. Less conspicuous than unusual is the linen hat, trimmed with linen flowers with braided petals. Ottoman weave satin cloth is a good choice that is immensely attractive and promises to be popular. The manufacturers evidently be lieve that the purples are to have an other Beason of strenuous vogue. The long coat without revers, with out sleeves and with pear-shaped arm holes has become quite a feature of the season. Satin charmeuse remains the favor ite fabric for ball and dinner gowns, and, in fact, for evening gowns of all descriptions. Bayadere striped' satin cloth has a heavy satin cord like stripe running through it, and Is in first style for two-piece suits and frocks. Hats, enormous in size, are cover ed with tiny frills of Valenciennes lace, while in front rlBes a coronet of lilies, made of mousseline and painted by hand. The separate waist, though written out by fashion scribes as regularly as the season changes, and as often brought In by the manufacturers in irresistible styles, continues to flour ish. Owls, with all their traditional look of wisdom; cocks, with an expression of imbecile conceit in their funny pointed faces, and other birds harder to classify or to describe are perched ob torts. New York City. Such a Blmple yet becoming blouse as this one Is wel come at all seasons, but especially bo Just now when so many young women are preparing for a return to college and so many others are planning a trip to the mountains where waists of the sort made from flannel and slml- lar materials are always in demand. This model Is an exceptionally becom ing one, the pleats over the shoulders providing just the necessary fulness. As illustrated it Is most satisfactory tor general wear, but it can be made with a stock and plain long sleeves when It becomes somewhat different in effect. Again the shirt waist sleeves can be cut oft In three-quarter length if genuine comfort is required. In the illustration dotted French flan nel is finished with simple Btltchlng, but linen and similar walstings are utilized at all seasons of the year, and this model Is adapted to anything that can be finished in tailor style. The waist Is made with fronts and back. The pleats are laid after the shoulder seams are closed and are stitched for full length at the back, to yoke depth only at the fronts. There Is an attached pocket which can be used or omitted as liked. When the Dutch collar is chosen it Is sewed to the neck edge, but when the stock Is used it is finished separately. The shirt waist sleeves are gathered at their lower edges and finished with straight bands and the long ones In clude rolled-over cuffs. , The plain sleeves are made in one piece each. The quantity of material required for the medium size, is four and a quarter yards twenty-one or twenty four, two and seven-eighth yards thirty-two or two and a quarter yards forty-four Inches wide. Folds and fichus over the shoulders are quite a feature of the evening gowns. New Bracelets. ' Ribbons and flower bracelets, worn with short-sleeved bodices, which were fashionable some fifty years ago, have once more come into favor and are worn by some of the fashionable women this season. A Color Season. A rich color season is at hand. Whatever else next season's styles, yet unknown, may have in store, this much is a surety. Tlnre Flounces Kovived. A welcome revival Is the graceful form of skirt, which consists of three flounces, sometimes called a "three decker." It lends Itself well to the soft muslins and embroidered lawns which will be worn this season. Girl's Press. The dress that can be worn either with or without a gulmpe as the day may require Is a serviceable one, and this pretty little model possesses that advantage at the same time that It Is chlc and attractive. In the Illustra tion It Is made from a simple printed waBh fabric with bands of white. For the trimming bands any contrasting material would be pretty, and if some thing very elaborate were wanted they could be made from embroidery or heavy lace, or they could be braid ed with the soutache that Is such a favorite. The sleeves are cut In one with the blouse portion, and the labor of making Is slight In the extreme, yet the dress Is one of the most at tractive the season has to offer. The frock Is made with blouse and skirt. The blouse consists of the front and back portions and the skirt Is made In one straight piece. The blouse Is gathered and the skirt Is pleated, and the two are joined by moans of the belt, while the front of the skirt Is extended over the lower edge of tho blouse, so making a dis tinctive and novel effect. The quantity of material required for the medium size (ten years) Is four and five-eighth yards twenty four, three and seven-eighth yards thirty-two or three and one-eighth yards forty-four inches wide with five-eighth yard twenty-seven inche wide and six and a quarter yards of banding for trimming. I'urplo For Evening. In choosing purple fortnight wear great care must be taken to secure exactly the right shades. Some pur ples change considerably under elec tric light, and others gain in brillian cy and tone. Skirts Still Clinging. Skirts are still clinging over the hips, however, so that tho petticoat must be carefully fitted and unstarched. MUST BELIEVE IT. Cvery Reader Will Concede the Trntk of This Statement One who suffers with backache or any form of kidney trouble wants a cure, not merely tem porary benefit. Rev. Maxwell S.

With so many commodious and hoe pltabiie jails as we have, it seems sur prising that the business of selling so-called editions de luxe at enormous prices to credulous people should con tinue to flourish, says a writer In Har per's Weekly. In a case that was in the courts last week a rich widow of Chicago contracted to pay $97,500 for 13 volumes of the works of Charles Dickens. She actually did pay $50,000 and gave notes for $35,000 more, and the case came to court on the suit of a third party to compel payment of the notes. The books are supposed to have cost about $50 apiece. There havo been many of these cases. Usu ally the venders of these literary lux uries have dealt with rich old ladles of Impaired judgment, but sometimes they have Imposed wonderfully oa folk who should have known better, and are said to have caught Comp troller Metz. We do not recalfi that any one of them has been sent to pri son yet, which argues 'that their busi ness has not received the attention that It has deserved. i Ring Life Preserver. ' 1 On aill steamships and many docks are life preservers of the ring type, to be thrown to persons struggling la the water. The proper way to ap proach or grasp such a life preserver in the water, says Popular Mechanics, is to take hold of the side and press down with all your weight This causes the further side to fly up In the air and down over the head. The average person struggling about in the water would try to lift up the big life ring and put It over bis bead, thus causing him to sink deeper. No Hook Worm Then. Army physicians report that the hook worm, moving to dullness and laziness, permeates the regular army soldiers recruited from the south. It Is pretty plain that none of the army physicians of today were in the serv ice 45 years ago, when seldlers re cruited In the southern states were nowhere accused of either dullness or laziness. The hook worm has been discovered since then. St " Louie Globe-De'uocrat. THREE RKASONS Each With Two Logs and Ten Fia gers. A Boston woman who Is a fond mother writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys. Among other things she says: "Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob, Jack and Dick, aged 6, 4 and 1 years respectively, are three of our reasons for using and recommending the food, Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters have been fed on Grape Nats since infancy, and often be tween meals when other - children would have been given candy. "I gave a package of Grape-Nuts te a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was a weazened little thing, ill halt the time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and cream greedily, and the mother continued the good work, and It was not long, before a truly wonderful change manifested itself in the child's face and body. The re sults were remarkable, even for Grape-Nuts. "Both husband and I use Grape- - Nuts every day and keep strong and well and have three of the finest, healthiest boys you can find In a day's march." Many mothers Instead of destroy ing the children's stomachs with can. dy and cake give the youngsters a handful of Grape-Nuts when they aro begging for something in the way of sweets. The result is soon shown In greatly Increased health, strength and mental activity. "There's a Reason." Leek In pkgs. tor the famous little book, "The Road to WeirrtUe." Ever read the above lettev?
