Senator Wolcott Discusses the
Duties Of the Monetary
Commission.
Looks Forward to a Hard Task,
but Is Very Hopeful
of Success.
Ex-Vice President Stevenson
Ready to Render All Aid
Possible.

WASHINGTON, April IA. = Senator
Wolcott, in speaking of the recently
appointed monetary commission, said
that there appears to be mistaken
impression that the commission is ap.
pointed with the purpose in view of
having it represent the United States
at a conference only. While the COM
mission might be utilized in that way
il conference should be held, its first
work is to be of purely diplomatic
character, looking entirely to securing
European cooperation. The commits
sion expect to leave this country about
the middle of May and Immediately
upon their arrival in Europe will set
themselves to that task Whether
there shall be conference at all will
depend upon how the advances of the
commissioners are received by the
principal powers.
Hopeful of Success.
Senator Wolcott is very hopeful of
success. He looks forward to hard
work, but says from what he learned
while abroad he is most sanguine of re-
suits. Senator Walcott believes that
in the selection of the commission, and
especially in naming Mr.. Stevenson, a
silver man, who supported Mr.. Bryan,
President Mckinley has convinced
everybody that he is an earnest BIZ
metallist. Bimetallism at home and
abroad, he says, will be promoted by
this selection.
Opposition to the scheme for interna-
tional bimetallism has developed from
an unexpected source. Morton Fre-
wen of England, who has given great
deal of attention to the subject and
who has visited this country several
times, in the interest of silver, is now
opposing an international agreement,
and declares that the money question
is one which each nation must settle
for itself.

PICKED USELESS OBJECTS.
Result Of Gathering OF Scrap Metals By
Brussels School Children.

Result Of Gathering OF Scrap Metals By
Brussels School Children.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Consul Ger
main, in a report from Zurich, with
regard to plan recently introduced in
the public schools Of several European
cities, says:
"In Brussels the children attending
public school were requested by their
teachers to gather up on their way to
and from the school, all such appar-
emily valueless objects as old metallic
bottle caps, tin foil, tin cans, paint
tubes, refuse metal, ETC., and deliver
their collection daily to their respective
teachers.
In the period from Jan. to Oct. 1,
1895, or within months, the following
amounts were collected: Tin foil, 1905
pounds old paint tubes 220 pounds ; bot
tie caps. 4,41o pounds; scraps of metal,
1921 pounds, total, 7,7S1 pounds.
This apparent rubbish was disposed Of,
and the proceeds applied so as to COM
pletely clothe 500 poor children, and
send 80 sick ones to recuperation col.
onies, and there still remained quite a
balance, which was distributed among
the poor sick of the city.

HOW NOT TO SUCCEED IN BUsI
NESS.

Drink intoxicating liquors, and
smoke and chew tobacco; the more the
better. This will dull your brain, ruin
your health, and use up all your spare
funds. Three sure ways of missing
success.
Never black your shoes, seldom
brush your clothes Or hat, allow your
shirt and collar to become dirty, and
do not be too particular about keeping
your hands and finger nails clean.
Cleanliness is a sign of prosperity, and
should be strictly avoided.
Always be down in the mouth
Never let an opportunity go by of tell
ing other people Of your hard luck.
Whine a little. This a good way of
convincing those who might otherwise
help you that you deserve just what
you are getting, and is sure death to
success.
Cultivate a bearish disposition. A
little rudeness will often cause a splen-
did opportunity to slip right through
your fingers. This has prevented some
men from succeeding, but as a
starter" down the hill of success it is
hard to beat.
When you make an appointment, be
sure to come late. This will show
those with whom you have dealing
that you are not to be depended on,
and when they need a worker they
will pass you by.
Be lazy. Diligence means success.
Idle away your time. Loaf around the
street corners, with both hands in your
pockets and an old pipe in your mouth,
and watch the successful men go by.
This will let them know just what kind
of a man you are, and will prevent
them troubling you with offers of en-
ployment.
Whenever you see an opportunity
coming your way, shut your eyes and
keep quiet. Opportunities r danger
Gus. If grasped at the right moment,
they lead to success. Let them all
slide by.
Be timorous. Act as if you were
quite certain you have no business
ability. A courageous, self reliant man
always succeeds. Besides, the average
business man will take you at your
own estimate, very properly thinking
that you ought to be the best judge of
your own ability.
Success never woos a grumbler;
therefore grumble. Always be finding
fault with your work. your salary, or
your employers. With a little prac-
tice, you can make this very effective
in driving success from you.
For a man of average ability, any
one of these rules, if closely followed,
will be sufficient; but great ability may
require the use of two o. mor Let
each one apply according to individual
need, and failure will follow as certain
as night follows day.-Golden Rule.
