COMM ERCTAL EDUCATION

Among the causes of Germany's commercial expansion and prosperity is the attention paid by the Chambers of Commerce in Germany to the promotion of commercial education. It appears that out of 145 chambers of commerce or similar organizations in the German empire in 1901, 112 of them were active ly engaged in one way and another in encouraging commercial education. In 1901, 22 chambers of commerce gave $15, ,652 in cash to A commercial schools which worked directly under their man. agement. Six chambers paid one third of the deficit in F commercial schools of independent management; AS cham bers of commerce subscribed over $13,000 to schools more or less controlled by them, while other chambers in various

SUNDANEsE ARMS AND ARMOR,
Demand for Eastern Weapons Created
 by the COsV-Corner Fad

Demand for Eastern Weapons Created
 by the Cosy Corner Fad.
 The growth of the cosy-corner fad has made a wide demand for the arms and armor of the races who are SUD- posed to have invented that comfort able sitting arrangement in the modern salon and boudoir. As a matter of fact. it may be questioned if there is a single cozy corner in Arabia Egypt or the Sudan. They have their divans, which are clumsy structures, half bed and half bunk These are covered with rugs, skins, pillows and cushions, and are exceedingly comfortable to a re- cumbent person, but they almost in- variably stand free from the walls, so that the breeze may be enjoyed by the occupants The last place to occupy in a hot country is the corner formed by two walls
 That stylish American cozy corner must have a canopy, and this canopy should be upheld by two Sudanese or Arab lances An ultra- ia ashionab ble cozy corner has a shield, a steel cap and yatagham or scimitar upon the wall just high enough from the ground to be out of reach of the head of one sitting upon the bench.
 The so-called Sudanese arms and armor are very cheap affairs, and though coming from southern Egypt northern Africa or Arabia, are gener- ally of European origin. Birmingham and Sheffield have long done large trade in supplying the Children of the Desert with their picturesque weapons.

NOME or YIIE LOSSEN.

| Many of King Edwards subjects are figuring up the losses that will be theirs
 on account of the postponement of the coronation, and they are not encour-
 aged by the figures. It is estimated
 that the underwriters at Lloyd's will
 alone lose S4,500OOO through the post ponement They had issued policies to
 that amount and they would have been
 called upon to stand still greater losses
 had not most of the risks applied for
 within a week of the coronation date
 been refused because of the alarming rumors spread about London. The hotels and provision dealers are also in for big losses. Millions of pounds of perishable food of the most expensive varieties are crowding every refrigera- tor in London, while orders for many tons more, Geographically cancelled, will remain a source of litigation or compromise. The caterers of the fash ionable West End establishments have announced that they are willing to share the losses of their patrons who had given large orders for delivery to- day and tomorrow. The important question remains as to whether the money paid for seats will be refunded. Only a few seats out of nearly half million were sold with any specific proviso on this point The manufac- turers of medals and souvenirs are badly hurt. One of these said that 10,- O00,0 900 medals, dated June 26 and June 27, already struck off were now value less. Londons business loss is enor- nous, and the people of Portsmouth, where preparations involving a big ex- pendlture had been made to reap har- vest from the naval review, are also hit hard.
 It is q striking Illustration of 'the sad vicissitude of things"

The genuine arms and armors are very
 rare and expensive. Few are made at
 the present day, and the larger number, especially those worn by mfrs and sheiks, are heirlooms, which they would not sell under any circumstances.
 some of the spears are very handsome,
 especially where the shafts have been
 carved by their Arab owners. When made in England the shaft is a long
 pole of oak or other strong wood.
 When it reaches the Arab countries it
 is usually too thick and cumbrous for
 the purchaser. The SemetiC races are
 smaller than our own, and their hands are, though muscular, more slender and graceful. They cut the shaft down un-
 til it is quite thin, and then polish and
 stain it, or else carve into it geometu- cal designs and lines from the Koran.
 When the shafts break, which is often the case in hunting or in village feuds, they replace them with whatever comes to hand.
 It is at this point the variety is ob- tained which all observers have doubt less noticed. Sometims the new shaft is of bamboo, the nghtest and strongest of all the vegetable tissues; sometimes 1t is reed similar to the malacca cane. It is very light, but is brittle, and will not stand considerable transverse strain. Often it is made from pitch pine, Oregon pine, or other timber de- rived from sailing craft or ships in the Mediterranean or Red sea. Rarely it is made from native timbers grown in the oasis of the desert lands or in the mag nlficent forests of the Sudan,
 Of the metallic armor sold not one per cent. if of Arab origin A variety which is genuine and extremely inter- esting is composed of the shields and buckers made from the hide of the rhl- noceros, hippopotamus and African ele- phant. These are cut and treated with a few simple herbs, dried in the sun upon mould, so that the finished shape shall be moderately convex and com ! pleted by inserting boss or sharp 1 spear-head in the center.-New York | Evening Pest.

4 LONG N4mE AND 4 LONG JoBE

LONG NAME AND 4 LONG J0B.c. The Massachusetts Association Op- posed to the Further Extension of Suf- frage to Women has a long name, and it has long job before it. But 1t is hopeful, as becomes an Association which has much to discourage 1t. The
 association has at the present time a
 total membership of 9,681, these repre-
 senting 214 different municipalities.
 The gain in membership during the
 past year has been 535, although during
 the interval the number of old members
 has been somewhat reduced by death
 and by removal from the State. In ad-
 dition to representation at the hearings
 given by the legislature on the question
 of woman suffrage the association has
 interested itself in the publication and
 distribution of literature bearing upon
 this subject. One plan that it has adopted is to interest itself in calling to
 the attention of the young women, un- dergraduates at the various colleges, such as Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley, etc., the arguments that can be made against the extension of suffrage to women. The idea is that the graduates of the colleges for women will form to quite an extent in the future the leaders of public opinion among those of their sex, and if large proportion of these can be brought by argument and dis cusson to believe that a change of this kind is, on the whole, detrimental to the best interests of the State, and to women themselves, a barrier against the progress of this suggested change can be raised that will be one of the strongest which could be erected.
 The Association believes that it rep resents majority of the women of Massachusetts, and that if suffrage ever comes it will be because of the indiffer- ence of this majority to it's duties as true conservators of the home and the family. Very likely Many reforms Constitutional Reform, come that way.

A consular report to the State depart ment from Germany shows that the chemical industry of that country fell . off in common with the decline in other industries in 1901. Overproduction is assigned as the main cause for this, to- gether with the increased cost of raw materials, the high price of coal and labor, and proposed changes in the tariffs on many articles that enter into chemical manufacture. One hundred and twenty-one chemical stock compa- nies having combined capital of about sS3, ,0OO 900, paid in 1900 an average divi- dend of 1928 per cent, as against 1882 per cent in 1899. As is well known the manufacture of dyestuffs and especially of coal-tar products, has been a spe- cialty of the Germans. This branch of chemical industry has shown a mar velous growth and has apparently yielded good returns on the money in vested.

MT. Ware, the Commissioner Of Pen sions, received letter from man in Illinois a few days ago which read: 'I am now getting a pension of $50 month. Recently the Lord has prosper ed me, and I do not think I should get so much money. I gave my services to the country, and think I should have some pension, of course, but I think $30 a month is too much. Is there any way I can have my pension reduced or sus- pended while l enjoy the prosperity that is mine at present." This is the only request for reduction of pension ever received by the bureau. It was re- ferred to the pension examiner in the district which the man lived, who re- ported as follows: T have the honor to inform you that the person who applied for reduction in his pension is now in the insane asylum at this place, and has been for some time.''

In consequence of the denioraliz- ing speculation on the exchanges, of which eighty-two exist In Japan, about half being petty concerns with insuffi- cient capital and irresponsible brokers, the authorities suddenly issued regula- tions the other day fixing the minimum paid-up capital at 100000 yen, raising the brokers license fees from 10 to 100 yen, and enacting further that half the profits earned above 10 per cent. must be carried to reserve. These changes are to become operative within six months.
