Women as Private secretaries.

A writer in Harpers' Bazaar says that
women skilled in type-writing or phono-
grsphy, or both, are in demand as conf
Dental clerks and secretaries, and that
business men regard their services in these
positions as more valuable than these of
young men. In matters of punctuslity,
regularity, endurance and efficiency ex-
perience has shown that they are equal to
men, they are more teachsble and willing
to please, and last but not least, "for reasons
which everybody recognizes, but which
perhaps will not hold good forever, they are
not regarded by business men as possible
rivals"
The writer continues: The average
salary of such q secretary is five hundred
dollars year. Sometimes thousand dol
lars is earned.

David Livingstone.

Rev. Edward A. Rand, In Golden DaysI
All honor to the boy who is not ashamed
TO work with his own hands, and that credit
belongs to David Livingstone, afterwards
famous as the missionary traveller. Born in
March, 1913, at Blantyre, Scotland, David
did not come into the world with a silver
spoon In his mouth, but an iron one, that
was probably dipped into oatmeal IS often
as any other food.
His parents were poor, but they gave him
q good example, which is more of gift than
some people receive. The Livingstone
children were taught to. be honest, industri.
Gus and God.fesring.
A story told them was this, that one of
their ancestors on his dying-bed called his
sons about him and said:
"Now, in my lifetime, have searched
most carefully through all the traditions
could find Of our family, and never could
discover that there was q dishonest man
among our forefathers. If, therefore, any
of you, or of your children should take to
dishonest wars, it will not be because it
runs in our blood; il does not belong to
you. leave this precept with you: Be
honest"
David was lively lad, relishing fun, but
relishing his books also. When nine years
old he repeated the one hundred and nine
teenth psalm on two successive nights, and
though that was long hill TO climb, his
memory stumbled only five times.
We can see where he may have acquired
love for adventure. When the stars in
the winter sky flashed like bits of steel, a
warm fre was glowing on the hearth-stone
of David's home. Seated before the fire, his
grandfather would tell the young folks old
Scottish stories OF the brave Wallace, the
resolute Bruce and other heroes. The stars
without might look more icy, the winter
wicds roar louder, but within was that Gag
erly- listening group, while in the shadows,
that the fire sent dancing across
the wall, fancy might detect the form of
"Black Douglas" and his Warriors moving
out to the fight.
Grandmother Livingstone would some
times sing old Highland ballads. The boys
imagination must have been stirred by these
Preside songs and stories, and q love Of ad-
venture may have been stimulated.
It did not seem then IS If this craving
would ever be satisfied, for at the age of ten,
he went to work in q cotton mill as a
"piecer" His first weeks work brought

him 10 retain enough to buy Latin gram

ISpeclal Telegram to the Globe.
NEW YORK, April 4.-The market did
nobly to-day under the leadership of Del
aware & Lackawanna, Northwestern, st.
Paul, Rochester & Pittsburg, and the Van
derbilts following. There was more activ-
ity and buying of the good properties than
has been witnessed in months. The occa-
sional squeezing Of money cuts no figure,
as it is well known that inside of fortnight
the loan market will be glutted. Northwest
ern remained steady the greater part of
the day, and shows little change from yes
terday's closing figures. Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy was dull, but will probably
become more active when the earnings for
March are published, which will give an
increase nearer $1,00O,0O0 than of half
half that amount. The bugbear of a
parallel line to Hannibal from Chicago
has failed to depress 1t, and points to
shorten it may prove exceedingly unpleas-
ant.
The activity has been general extending
to the miscellaneous list. Pacific mail at
tracted some attention, advancing to 4215.
Altogether it has been a red letter day in
Wall street. Earnings continue to i'm
prove. The Northwestern for the fourth
week of March gains $152,OOO; St. Paul,
$17S,OO0; Manitoba, $115.OOO; Wabash,
$25,000; Hannibal & st. 10, $4,000;
Union Pacific for March, 100000;
Illinois Central, the same amount for four
weeks; Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the
first fifteen days last month, 100000.
The rate for money was at the open
ing and 5 at the finish. The unusual
strength in Northwest attracted
much attention, and gave rise
to no little comment. it was
generelly believed that the Vanderbilts
were behind the shares for bull move
ment, the purchases for their account
strengthening this view. 1t was reported
that yesterday loan of $3,OOO,OOO on the
stocks was called for to-day, but that i'm
mediately another loan for the same
amount was obtained from financial in
for six months. On this the
theory was put forth that the rise was TO
twist the bears who sold short and tamper-
ed with the money market on the calling
in of the loan mentioned. But probably
the revival Of the rumor of en- extra divi-
dend at the annual meeting had some
thing tn do with II
