but not all passengers ON the street
cars care for the conductors opinion
or that of their fellow passengers
either. In spite of public sentiment
and newspaper ridicule certain class
es of offenders against etiquette and
human consideration continue TO
ride. Sometimes il is the woman

Sometimes it is the needless man
who steps upon lady's SKIRT and
causes break-away in the region of

woman who is inconsiderate. who
wears long train and does not hold
II up out of peoples way Some
times this common nuisance is the
man who tries to real the evening

Talking of street cars, here's an ex.

81 don't see why woman always
gets off the car the wrong way" re-
marked a man, as many of his kind
have remarked before.
&" well, listen then said his
wife. In the first place a woman
dosent always get off the car back
ward. She gets off the way that is
easiest, and very often TO get off
backward IL easier than TO get off
frontward. If she has gotten up
her skirts in her left hand she GOES
to the rear of the car. What hand
is it that she has free? Her right
hand Of course. In that case She
takes hold of the rod with her right
hand, and then she can only step off
toward the rear"
"But does woman always hold
her skirts in her left hand?'
Not always, but az a general thing
a woman keeps her right hand free
to protect herself with or TO grasp
things with. If she has both HANDS
free when she reaches the platform
she is quite az likely to get off the
right way as the wrong way; but
you will remember my dear, that a
woman hasn't the physical freedom
that a man has. She can't
drop her skirts and switch
them around on the other side and
get off correctly and gracefully. If
she gets started wrong. when she
gets up, she must get off wrong
'Oh, yes, | zee now
"Well, now that you understand,
don't be one Of tho men any longer
who keep saying. 'Oh, ! do wonder
why it IL that woman plwavs gets
off car the wrong way"

The effort of any newspaper to
build mp a town is practically null
lifted unless it is backed up by the
business men of the town. A stran.
ger turns from the hews columns of
a paper 10 Its advertising columns,
and If he fails TO find there the bus
ness cards of the merchants and
professional firms, he comes to the
conclusion that the editor is not
appreciated, in which case it is a
good place to keep clear from. No
town ever grew without the active
assistance of it's paper; nor can
papers grow, and build up their
localities without the assistance
of the town. Business men should
realize this, and remember that in
lending support TO their local paper
they are not only building up their
own business, but are helping to sup
port that which is steadily work
ing for the growth of the whole
town. -Ex.

BRITISH VIEW OF STEEL COMBINATION.
AMERICANS SAID TO HAVE UNDERTAKEN
TOO LARGE A CONTRACT

London. March 1.-The Statist." dealing with
the steel combination in the United States says:
The competition Of American iron and steel in
the markets OF the United Kingdom has been much
less during the last few weeks than during the
latter half of 1900 but this is surprising. With
Scotch pig iron below Il l4s and Yorkshire steel
plates at f6 50, there cannot be any temptation
to American producers to sell here.
Moreover. il seems II those who have sold are
experiencing considerable difficulty in eXecut-
ing their contracts. We hear Of Americans paying
differences 10 cancel sales made last year. From
the North hear that the first instalment IS ar
irving from the United States OF ship plates which
ought 10 have been delivered last year.
An interesting incident OF the moment is the
placing I'm COnnals Stores. in Glasgow. Of two
thousand tons of American pig iron. which arrived
late for contract delivery. From these and
other circumstances one would be disposed to con
cude that the American iron and steel producers,
in their eagerness make export trade, have Bit
ten off more than they can che ~.
Nevertheless. THE Statist' believes that English
expectation Of pig iron will be limited this year.
because of the deporably depressed conditions Of
the German French and Belgian iron Industries
and the renewed fiow of American iron in the near
future. Summing UP the resources of the steel
combination. The Statist" says:
IL has the largest and most perfect blast furnaces
I'm the world, compared with which all ours are but
African pgmies alongside the most splendid reg
iment Of the Guards.
