Princess Yolanda Marguerite of

from succeeding her father as Queen
of United Italy, is yet regarded
throughout Victor Emanuel's king
dom with passionate interest and af-
lection. The baby princess was born
on June 1 last and with the exception
of her grandmother, the queen dow
ager, she is the first princess born
to the house of Savoy during the last
fifty years.
Yoianda is also the only baby ever
born in the quirinal since the palace
passed away from the papal court.
There are at the present time ten male
heirs to the italian crown, all cousins
of the present king. The little prin-
cess, should she remain an only child,
will be one of the great royal heiresses
of the twentieth century, for she will
inherit her fathers large private for

the stork will visit the royal house
again next summer, when it is hoped
a male heir will be born.

THE FINANCIAL REVIEW.
United states Has Sustained Position of
Leader of the World

A review of the financial history of
the past year should make every Ameri-
cans heart thrill with PRIDE For II in
1900 the United States fought its way to
position as the financial leader of the
world. the last year saw this country so
fortify itself in the first place that its
pre-eminence in the financial matters of
the world is assured for an indefinite per-
fod to come.
Not only was the money center of the
world made permanent in Wall street
during the year. but the invasion of the
markets of the world by this country
mat had been gathering in strength for
ten years was likewise pushed during 1901
with such success that this country may
now fairly lay claim to the Industrial
supremacy of the globe
The extent of our invasion of foreign
markets during 1901 may be judged from
the hsures contained in the annual report
or the Secretary of the Treasury. The
foreign commerce in merchandise for the
hscal year 1901 showed a decrease of
W I69cl9 in imports and an Increase of
SSz,zel.SO9 in exports when compared with
the preceding year. Comparing the fig
ures OF 1901 with those of 1891, there is a
decrease OF sI,4i031 in imports and an
increase of S60S, ,1S1 in exports, The i'm
ports of the year 1901 were $500, 172,l65 ana
the exports a,4S7, 991, making the ex-
cess OF exports over imports 1904 500 S26
Both the total exports and the excess
or exports over imports were greater in
Eol than in any preceding year in the
history of our commerce.
10 say that the country has prospered
during 1901 is a weak statement of the
facts The fioodtide of prosperity has
rolled ahead for the past twelvemonth
with ever-increasing strength. and with
no indications that the ebb is to come.
me governments finances have profited
much during the past year. Revenues
or the government from all sources for
the last fiscal year were $685., 316, 5SO92, and
the expenditures for the same period were
$62l,59S. 546.54, showing a SURPLUS of s77.
nL9A3S. Compared with the fiscal year
1900, the receipts for 1901 increased $780,
GI'0s9'H There was an increase of s22.-
253,561.H in expenditures.
The private moneyed interests, as
gagged by the condition Of the New York
associated banks, have an equally happy
story to tell. During the year the New
York banks gained in deposits SIS, Csc, 800
and in loans SCI. 507 900.

FOUND GOLD COINS

chest which had been in his family for
more than thirty years, John McDon-
aid OF 404 North Twenty second street.
Philadelphia, recovered old English
and American coins valued at $1,000.
A few of the gold pieces We're
stamped by the first coin presses set
up in this country. but most of them
are English gulneas, bearing on one
side the medallion head of George III.
and on the reverse side the English
coat of arms.
John McDonald's mother bought the
chest a third of a century ago In a
Philadelphia second hand store. She
paid only few pennies for the plain
lumber box and had it placed in the
cellar of her home, where it was used
as a potato bin until recently.

Dress of Students
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The habiliments of students at the
great universities is not dictated by
caprice, as many suppose, but is pre-
scribed by the laws of the institutions.
AS late as 1928 the dress of the Har-
ward student, as the laws of the coll
lege state, consisted of black mixed
coat. single breasted, with a rolling
cape square at the end, and with pock-
ct flaps; the waist reaching to the
natural waist, with lapels of the same
length. The senior was allowed to
maintain his dignity with three
crows feet" of black silk cord on the
lower part of his coat sleeve. Two
crows feet were permitted the junior,
one to the sophomore and none to
the freshman. The waistcoat was of
black. or, when of cotton or linen. of
white; single breasted. with stand
ing collar of buttons, which were to
be fat and covered with the same
cloth as the garment to which they
were attached. The students might
not have more than eight nor less than
six on the front of his coat. with four
behind. His neckcloth was plain
black or white, his hat Of an APP
proved form and black. Shoes and
boots were black.
By 1870 greater variety Of dress
had been substituted. Coats were OF
blue gray, breaches and waistcoat of
the same color or of black, nankeen
or olive. Freshmen were allowed only
plain buttonholes, sophomores leaped
to the dignity of having buttons on
their cuffs. juniors might have mex
pensive frogs to their buttonholes, ex-
cept that they might not have them
on their cuff buttonholes. and the
senior enjoyed frogs, buttonholes and
buttons complete.

to the South African struggle there has
been the customary number OF revolu-
lions in Central America, and a more or
less sanguinary conflict between Venezue-

between Argentina and Chile may be set
