ABOUT MIR CARNEGIE.

Here is q story of MT Carnegie told by a man who came over in the same steamer with him a short time ago:
 When they had that inevitable con cert in mid-ocean,' he said, MT Car negie acted as master of ceremonies. Miss Olga Nethersole was on board, but she was not able to assist at the entertainment. She sent q polite lit tie note with a contribution to the benefit fund. Mir Carnegie announced Miss Nestlerode's' munificence. A little later q second note, sent doubt less to call the gentleman's attention to the fact that Miss Nethersole was not q pudding, arrived with Il second contribution. MT Carnegie read the note aloud, and then. being in high good humor, proceeded to make some of what were intended to be appro- priate remarks.
 Miss Nestlerode has done two good deeds this evening" he said, and if she will just send another contribu- tion now she will be like the man ill story I once heard, who came into his office. one day and told his part ner that he was very happy because he had done three good deeds that morning. In the first place I met q poor woman who was weeping bit terly because she had lost four dol lars with which she intended to pay for the baptism of her baby. I gave her q ten dollar bill, telling her to have the child baptized and give me the change as I came from the club. Charity was one good deed. saving the child's soul from purga- tory was the second.'
 And what was the third?' asked the partner.
 "'Oh, the third was that I got six good dollars for my green goods ten 7 New York Times.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

Enormous Holiday Business-Large
 Distribution of Christmas Gifts.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Up to the last hour on Christmas eve the eager buying continued, while many orders will not be filled before the years end because of the avalanche of business offered. Preparations were made for unusual activity, but i'll many cases stocks and facilities proved ut terly inadequate. Holiday mail was 40 per cent heavier than last years, which gives some measure of the ex- pansion.
 Distribution of Christmas gifts among the employees of large firms and cor porationS was on the same scale, often the increase over last year amounting to 100 per cent, while the profit shar- ing at the end of the year will reach unprecedented figures. It is noticed that southern trade shows less satis- factory gains over last year than at other sections, which is not surprising, as the principal product of the south has averaged from $8 to $10 a bale less than a year ago, while the quantity thus far marketed shows no commen- surate increase.
 Following closely upon the interrup- ton by floods and storms last week, transporting and manufacturing facil- ities were further handicapped by nu- merous accidents. Iron furnaces and steel mills were tied up, and the move ment of coke was hampered. This re suited in such insufficient supplies of fuel that many stacks were banked at a time when full activity was especial ly desired. The situation as to coke is more critical than at any previous time this season. As high as $3.50 per ton was offered for prompt delivery without securing supplies. Notwithstanding the high level of quotations as compared with earlier years, wheat exports for the week From all ports of the United States, in- cluding four, amounted to 3,54O,972 bushels compared with 2,756,O14 bush els year ago and 2,417,e18 bushels two years ago. Interior receipts were light
 Failures for the week numbered 250 in the United States against 237 last year and g in Canada against Is last year.

DEVELOPMENT OF POWER.

The first thing for a human being 10 realize is the fact that we are. each ana all Of us, threefold in our organiza- tlon-physical, mental and spiritual
 NO matter how liberal Or broad our euucatlon may be. or how far from or tnooox our belief, We must be con- scious that some force greater than tne brain of man conceived and exc cuIed this wonderful scheme of the universe Whatever this force was and is, We are a part of it. and from It We can obtain wonderful power and strength if We hold ourselves receptive to its influences. However occupied a young man or woman may be. each. If reared under civilized conditions. finds time for a daily bath. All feel it necessity for the health of the body. Just as necessary for the health of the mind is what would term q spir- ftual bath-a few minutes of time giy- en each day to relaxation and calm meditation. an undressing of the mind. 90 to speak, of all material cares and ambitions. a breathing in of spiritual fOrce-and an immersion of the whole being in the electric currents which flow from space about us. He or she who desires to obtain personal power, of the highest and most enduring na- ture. must take these few moments at least daily. believing that the best and purest strength from the very source of all power is being bestowed After the routine of the day is entered upon q careful watch upon the emotions and desires to see that they do not encroach upon the rights of others, is another step to- ward the goal. The power which de- velops into tyranny and oppression is never a safe power to cultivate. It is sure to resolve itself eventually into a boomerang. and to destroy the useful ness of the mind which seeks it.-Ella Wheeler Wilcox in January Success.
