The scenery, amidst which the lot of
the Jamaica missionary is cast, yields
to that of no other part of the world i'm
beauty. livery variety of tropical plant
is here to entice the gaze, to satisfy the
fancy, and as he drives along Well-kept
government roads he may see al one
time perched high above him on some
rock at the side the characteristic hut
of the native with a cOcOanut palm
or mango tree standing near to sentinel
it, or another time groups of the grace
full bamboo, like huge tufts of bright
green feathers, or again stretches of
banana plantation or acres of sugar
cane showing him whence the real de-
velOpment of wealth for Jamaica should
come. Or it may be that in the wilder
districts he picks his careful way along
narrow bridle-paths, fOrds one noun
tain stream after another, pushes aside
the masses of giant fern wet with the
heavy morning dew which meet from
either side before him, struggles
through the thick guinea grass, which
tops his own and his horses head looks
down occasionally from his seat in the
saddle into hundreds of feet of depth
just beneath him, almost beguiled into
forgetfulness of danger by the luXuriant
splendor of verdure with which the abb
yss has clothed its preCipitOus sides. If
mere landscape We're to be considered,
it would be hard to imagine a more de-
lightful field of missionary labor.-Do-

NEW YORK, january ga uruI.m-
luarN report covering Jha operations
of the United States steel Corporation
since it came into existence TEN months
ago, was made Co the stockholders to-
day. 10 was "a fUrerunuyr tu the more
extended resume to Doe submitted at
the annual general meeting ON Fobru-
airy 18th and was designed tO famii-
iarizo the shareowners with the imam
cial status of the company and the
trade situation, and the trade market
where 90 buys and sells. The report,
signed by both Charles Al. Schwab and
Ebert II. Gary declared the present
business and future outlook viewed
ahead through 1902 to be highly sat-
isfaCtOry.
The report said: "The outlook for the
year 1902 is very bright Everything in
diCates that the facilities of each sub
sidary company will be taxed to the ut
most to supply the demand that Is be-
ing made. The actual business now

! Of the year In the more highly fin
/ ished products the consumption in each
case is greater now than at the CORE

/ be remembered was an abnOrmally
heavy year. The expectation, there
| fore, Of those closely connected with the
manufacture and sale of these highly
! finished products is for demand even
| larger than that of 1901, and up to the
! limit Of production"
Discussing prices the report said
| they could have been advanced, but
! that it was decided to be better policy
to refrain from doing so. The reference
to prices follows 1.-THE demand for
products has been so great that prices
could easily have been advanced. In
deed. higher prices have been volun-
tarily offered by customers who were
anxious for the immediate execution of
orders, but the companies have fairly
maintained the position of not advance
ing prices, believing that the existing
! prices We're sufficient to yield a fair re-
/ turn on capital and maintain the prop
critics satisfactorily in physical condi-
/ ton, and that the collateral advantage
to be gained in the long run by refusing
/ to advance prices would be of substan-
| tial and lasting value, not only TO the
comnanies but also to the general bust
| ness of the country"
| The report asserted that this policy
as to prices had not onl, a reassuring
effect upon the trade, but contributed to
| the restoration of confidence in the gem
eral business situation.

An appeal in a novel suit, in which
the amount in dispute is only 30 cents,
was taken from the County Court to
the Supreme Court in Vancouver, b. c.
Already several hundreds of dollars In
costs have been incurred in the case,
and two of the best known business
houses in the city are involved.
John w. Peck & Co., wholesale
ciothiers, sold a bill of goods TO L. Pu-
binowitz & co. for S33. Their first bill,
rendered with the goods, called for a
6 per cent discount for cash i'm ten days.
Rubinowitz claims to have paid the
amount within that time, and submits
his check as proof. The selling irm
claims that only per cent discount
should have Nbeen allowed, and asked
for an additional 80 cents. Rubino-
witt ordered the manager of the Peck
company out Of his store, and then the
suit began.
Judgment was given for Peck i'm the
Small Debts Court, and again in the
County Court, RubinOWitz appeal on
each occasion. Now he is appealing 70
the Supreme Court and is also asking
for costs incurred Neither firm will
back down, and the case will be keenly
contested through all the processes OF
law, no matter how much the cost.

THE USE OF THE

WORD "LADY. a"

It is said that it is coming to be
the fashion again to use the word

is also in better favor. For some
years modish persons have called
ladies "women, and parties
Functions. There vas some
excuse for the former substitution,
because "lady" was worked to
death and SO misused as to make
it ridiculous. Bat vague as its
meaning is, it has a meaning Cor
meanings), to the conveyance of
which it is indispensable, and the
folks who have dismissed it from
their vocabularies have not been
persons of much philOgicaI discern
ment.
The use of function foe
"party" has been a mere fad that
must have started as a pleasantly
and gradually became habit. 1t
makes it possible to speak of a row
at a ball as a functional disord-
err" but even that doesn't warrant
its vogue. 1t is a poor, borrowed,
anglicized word, which the British
American language doesn't need.
