INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS.
Review of the Iron Businoss-A Firmer
Market Predioted.

The business OF the week under review has
been large in tonnage. and the orders have
come from every kind of industry in which
pig iron is used, indicating revival OF nc.
tivity most welcome. Whether the increased
buying is spurt or the presage ofa healthy
and gradual development OF business, re-
mains to be seen. There is an entire absence
OF speculative buying the traffic being con.
fined to legitimate lines OF trade. Sales are
being made for somewhat extended deliver
les TO accommodate the manufacturers who
desire to cover their contracts as far as prac-
ticable.
The ear works and iron rolling mills are
not so active, but fresh buying by these
branches must come sooner or later, as the
railroads have been improving steadily In
their earnings and soon will be able To i'm
prove their impaired equipment, which will
augment the current business in very mark.

The output of the furnaces of the United
States in 1926 reached the unprecedented flg-
ure OF i0.579, SAC net tons, and as the entire
unsold stocks Jan. /, less than 800. 900 tons, n
just pride Is felt In the great capacity and
ability of our country as to production and
consumption OF iron. The week closed strong
with indications Of "a iirmer market.

A Patron OF Music.

The Emperor Williams interest in
music was "a Berlin correspondent
says lately shown in "A very practical
way. Tho other day, when he was
shooting In the forests Of LetZlngen,
the band of the Uhlans played selec-
tions during dinner. The Emperor,
with his suite, Went up 10 the musicians
and made some observations about tho
way in which an Italian popular song,
"Funlculi Funicula," had been played,
saying that 1t should have been taken
quicker. Thereupon the Emperor took
the baton, and under his conductorship
the song had to be repeated. He fur
thcr conducted some military marches.
Five songs by Count Philip Won Eulen-
burg the German ambassador In Wen
M, pleased the Emperor so much that
all had to be repeated .-

SUICIDE OF CASHIER BARNARD.
a Bank Oniciai and ex-Mayor OF Rome
N. T., Hangs Himself.

George Barnard. cashier OF the Fort Stan
wix National Bank, Rome, N. Y, was foune
dead on the third Hoor Of the bank building
He had tied cord to a door-knob, and with
~ slip moose around his neck had braced hii
foot against tho door, and. throwing his heac
back, had strangled himself.
Bank Examiner Van vranken closed the
bank. pending an investigation OF its affalrS
The bank Is one OF the oldest and strongest
In tho State. Mr.. Barnard had been con
nected with the hank since 1860. when HI
entered its employ rs a clerk. He madt
cashier in 1876. He was looked upon as
man OF the strictest integrity. The banl
has capital stock OF sl50,000 and IA surplus
of &30, 1000. Its stock has been quoted and
GOLD as high as 200. The generally accepted
theory Is that Mr.. Barnard became mentally
unbalanced by overwork.

INDIA RUBBLK KNEES.

Long prayers are not always strong pray
ers still less Is vociferation an Indispensable
or important element Ia suppication. Never
theless II may be suggested that the rapidlty
with which our age moves on has too largely
communicated itself to our deyotions. Some
people-must wa not say most people2- arc
no sooner on their knees than they arc up
again, leading one to the suppositon that an
India rubber pad has found "A place over the
knee-cap, giving II natural rebound the in
slant the floor IL touched. This pity. II is
one OF the inventions Of this marvellous cen-
tury OF which We cannot altogether APP
prove. 1t Is change which Is not an I'M
provement. How can we really renew our
strength unless we wait upon the Lordl with
out communion with God we arr not liEeiy
to grow into His likeness. II Is true that a
certain posture OF body is not essential, but
that 1t is greatly helpful all experience shows.
And there is small probability that one wall
talk much with Jesus by the way unless Mt
stated intervals there are quiet, deliberate,
unhurried conversations with HIN in secret.
We plead. then, for the disuse OF the India
rubber knee, and a return to somewhat moro
old-iashioned methods OF petition.

slSs. INrInNIr1Es ANn nurIEs.

II has been said that every act, however
minute, Is either u duty or sin. While n
most important truth unGerllcs this some
what startling assertion. we would suggest
that at least one class OF actions comes under
neither Of these two categOrlcs. lnirmitics
arc certainly not duties. nor can they prop
erly be called sins. Unintentional trans,
gressions of the eternal, immutable, perfect
law OF God, unavoidable wrong dOings, are
not sins. We are not to blame for them they
require no forgiveness. An innrmity Is Il
coming snort OF tho ideal right; a SIN Is u
coming short Of the possible right, Of that
right doing which Is possible to us now with
our fallen, onfeebed, imperfect powers
II In OF great importance that these two
things be distinguished that sins DO not
called iniirmitics, nor inflrmities sins. Very
serious harm is done in both directions. but
chiefly, we think, by termnS sins inilrmi-
ties. This lowers the standard OF attain
ments, checks aspiration, dulls tho con-
science, and gives rise to uniounded pro-
fcssions. One Of the best proofs OF real
growth In grace Is increased tenderness OF
conscience increased refinement OF moral
perception. increased recognition OF little
sins, particularly those sins OF omission
which are so commonly overlooked. Few
people seem to realize that 1t is duty to use
all our powers % know the right as we'll ~
to do 1t that our ignorance is often blame
worthy that II Is n sin 10 be unwatchu ul or
to live below our privileges, to be making
only little progress when we might make a
good deal. II these things were better un-
derstood. we should hear less frequently
the bold declarations as to having been de-
liyered from all sin for such term OF years.

Dyspe ptic, Nervous and IIysterieal-An
Invalid for IN Ycars-Doctors, SAM.
tarium and Specialists All Failed.
Mrs. l.. f.. Titus, Coopersville, Mich,
makes the following statement: "For
ID years 1 was an invalid suffering
from extreme nervousness and dyspep-
sia. My case seemed to be beyond the
skill of physicians, some of whom were
specialists in the treatment of such
diseases. I spent long time in
Grand Rapids sanitarium. Their treat
ment proved useless; everything I ate
caused extreme distress. I became so
nervous that would break out crying
without any cause. While in this con-
dition was induced to use DIR. Wheel
er's Nerve Vitalizer. A change was
noticeable from the first dose; four or
five bottles cured me absolutely. To-
day am in perfect health, can eat
anything and drink tea or coffee with
comfort" DIR. Wheeler's Nerve Vital
izer cured her by its action on the
nerves of the stomach.
