The return OF John W Gates is said to
be awaited with much interest by some
people who understand that II will be
the signal for a general movement in the
steel stocks. 1t is reported that Mr. Gates
is one of a party of capitalists who are
seeking to form a number of steel COM
binations in way to permit new deal
in the steel stocks generally. For time
it was reported that the Carnegie people
were endeayorinG to make decidedly hos
tile movement against the Steel and Wire
Company but In the last day or two
well defined rumor associated the Carnegie
name with an effort to form new combin-
alton in which Steel and Wire Will figure
as an ally and not as an opponent There
are some orders to buy the Steel stocks
in the hands of brokers who are executing
them carefully and quietly These brokers
are also talking unusually Confidently of
a higher range of prices for these stocks,
because Of the buying orders in their
hands.

Mems Boards.

In the time of Queen Eliza
beth a tax was placed upon
mems boards. In the first
year of her rein a tax imposed
ofabout IS cents on every
beard above a fortnight's
growth. The law, however,
was never enforced, and so it
lapsed. In France a tax on
boards was imposed and en-.
forced, and it is said that from
tia handsome revenue was
derived. Peter the Great OF
Russia also imposed tax up
on boards; a copeck to be paid
by peasants and laborers and
lOOrubles by those OF a high
er station of life. So strong
" was this antibeard law re-
sented that in more than one
case it led to the splitting of
blood. Officers were station
ed at the city gates with
swords, and if any beard
wearer refused to pay the tax
he was at once submitted to
the ordeal of a gratuituous
shaving,

A TEST of Accuracy.

Drawing from memory is one Of the
most difficult things in the world to do.
Even professional artists find that they
must rely largely upon hasty jottings
made upon the spot as suggestions for
their pictures. Those who are not art
lists need to look keenly and closely at
what they wish to recollect, for they
must depend upon their memory to
bring details back to them. 1t is an eX-
cellent corrective of superficial observa-
ton to sketch a scene as we think we
saw it and afterWard return to the
scene and take another view. 1t is a
training both in accuracy and humil-
ity, for we learn how easy it is to de-
ceive ourselves as to what we have
remarked Florence Hull Winterburn

Matters in China are anything
but rosy. We give no credence TO
much that is sent out from that
country, but still the occupation of
the cities composing Pekln has
been long enough to JUSTIFY ex
Dectation of an earnest effort on the
part of the Chinese for peace nego-
tiations. Instead, however, we
hear Of movements of large bodies
of Chinese troops, bens rather on
further fighting than peace. Our
Government is in position to urge
early negotiations without further
hostilities, and we hope it is pros
ecuting it's work in that direction.
Having relieved our minister and
the other prisoners and captured
their capital, we have no further
cause for hostile conflict, unless
the Chinese refuse to yield to pres
ent conditions and agree upon
terms for the future. We regret
to say that appearances at present
are unsatisfactory. Raleigh Post.
