1.-THE ClanSman'S' World Tour

Lovers of the drama wish The
Clansman" gOodspeed on its trip
around the world. This famous
play, which will be presented
here next Sunday evening Oct.
6. 1901 is the first American play
selected to make a complete cir
cult of the globe. England,
South Africa, Australia, New
Zealand-in fact, all the English
speaking countries-will be
visited. The story of the Ku
Klux Khan and the Reconstruct
ton era in the South will be told
to the far off people and amid
the most novel surroundings.
The telling of the story in dra-
matte form cannot fail to do good
for it will show the imperative
necessity of the Caucasian sup
remacy and knit together the
white race everywhere as bro
theirs. The fact that The
Clansman"i is going around the
world makes the present tour of
America all the more jnteres.

cities where it has been a well

play is drawing the largest audi
ences in its history. Presented
as it is by frst-class company
and with a thoroughly metrOpOli-
tan production, we bespeak for
it the hearty patronage of our
people.

Antiquity of Man,

NJ. W., Gallupville, N. Y: How far
back can it be proven that man lived
on this earth?
Answer-Tools and hunting wea.
pons, bones of tropical fauna and re-
mains of man are found in gravel
beds of Western Europe, and it APP
parently follows that man antedates
the glacial period, inasmuch as this
tropical fauna was previous to the ice

antiquity of man becomes the simpler
question of the date Of the ice age.
The answer is 10000 years ago, at
least 1t is largely on the discovery
of flint implements. styled "chelleans'
at Chelles in France, that man is
thus dated back to the semi-tropical

What Good Conversation Means.

The tone of good conversation Is
flowing and natural; It Is neither
heavy nor frivolous; 1t is learned with
out pedantry, lively without noise,
polished without equivocation. 1t is
made up of neither lectures nor cpl
grams. Those who really converse
reason without arguing, joke without
punning, skilfully unite wit and rea-
son. maxims and sallies, ingenious
raillery and severe morality. They
speak of everything in order that
every one may have something to say;
they do not investigate too closely,
for fear Of wearying; questions are In
troduced as IL by the bye, and are
treated with rapidity; precision leads
to elegance, each one giving his opin'
ion and supporting 1t with few words,
saws Womans Life. No one attacks
wantonly another's opinions, no one
supports his own obstinately. They
discuss in order to enlighten them
selves and leave off discussing where
dispute would begin; every one gains
information. every one recreates him
self and all go away contented; nay
the sage himself may carry away from
what he has heard matter worthy OF
silent meditation.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN's WEEKLY SUMMARY
Settled Weather Reduces Stocks
Which II Was Feared Would
Be Carried over.

Despite the interruption of a holi-
day and the usual inventories and
midsummer stoppage of machinery
for repairs a vast amount of business
was transacted during the past week
and the outlook improved still fur
ther. Settled warm weather has re-
duced stocks of summer fabrics at
many points where congestion was
threatened, and in some cases supple
mentary orders from wholesalers de-
pleted stocks that 1t was feared
would be carried over to 1908.
Activity has continued at most iron
furnaces and steel plants, except
where repairs were imperative and
the tone of the leading markets is
firm. Meters are constantly in need
Of pig iron, the enormous active ca
pacity of domestic furnaces being
supplemented by liberal imports, and
British shipments for the two months
of May and June established re-
markable 60-day record. Inventories
at steel mills show no surplus stocks,
but specifications are In excess OF ca
pacity and numerous complaints are
heard regarding tardy deliveries.
Some mills making railway equip
ment report that orders are being
overtaken, because the transportation
companies have not been able to
raise funds. This financial problem
will probably postpone new work,
but extensions and improvements now
under way will be completed.
Most deliveries are tardy, and mill
agents do not seek any new business
until there Is better prospect Of MAX
ing desired shipments. Results OF in
ventories are very satisfactory.
Inventories by shoe manufacturers
have prevented any aggressive ef-
forts to get new business during the
past week The result for the six
months has been larger shipments
from Boston than in any previous
year except 1906.

Long bridal chests Of mahogany or

to-date brides outfit. The fashion Of

too.
The aunt of recent bride presented
her with such a chest which she had
made after an old English pattern and
filled with linen enough to last life
time. Old English oak was the mate
rial used and the lining was red cedar.
Each side of the chest was divided
into panels and each panel was carved
with the likeness of some member OF
the girls family, while the ends
showed scenes of her home. Every
piece of the table linen as we'll as
the bed linen was hand woven.
The cost of the chest ran up into
four figures, but for the girl Of moder'
ate tastes there are chests to be had
for from $50 up. One young woman

an old-fashioned mahogany bed left

constructed into chest for her trous

Road to Home Happiness.

The road to true home happiness Is
said to lie over small stepping-stones.
To attain success In any path of life,
the maxim to be borne in mind is to
make haste slowly. Remember this
when striving to attain the perfect
Joy and peace of truly beautiful home
life. We are all liable to trip over
small rhings-the petty little worries
and anxieties which must affect all
and sundry who live at home.
There are so many pitfalls to STUN
Bile into Mistakes must inevitably be
made at times-we are all human,
and therefore not infallible. Bear in
mind that errors and misjudgment are
the first stepplng-stones to success.
Do not be cast down because you have
made mistake. Rise superior to this
state of mind and determine to profit
by any errors. BY adopting such an
attitude we can in time become men,
tally strong and rise far above feel
ing annoyance over failures and mis-
takes.
Never dwell on slight accidents or
mishaps. To do so will be to Impede
your onward progress to a higher and
nobler state of mind. Those who have
conquered self are those who rule the
home. Accept poverty with cheerful
ness, disappointment with equanimi-
ty, trials with patience and fortitude-
even with thankfulness.-New York

Teachers Of the Deaf and Dumb.

Here Is another career for women
and girls which, odd as 1t seems, at
present is not overstocked-viz, the
"oral" teaching Of the deaf and dumb.
It Is of course not so interesting as
teaching those who are not afflicted,
but the work has its charms and COM
pensations for women who are quail
fed by examination to undertake the
work. and the results attained are
sometimes little short Of marvellous.
The demand for fully qualified teach
ers Is very greatly in excess OF the
supply. The whole course OF train
ing is very inexpensive, and at the
completion of 1t there are many re-
munerative posts requiring teachers.
The training usually extends over a
period of eighteen months, or even two
years, although it is possible for stu
dents to enter for twelve months. This,
however, is not advisable. as a longer
length of time Is required to obtain
a thorough grasp Of the system, which
teaches the deaf by means OF spoken
language exclusively and replaces the
want Of hearing by lip reading. which
might be termed hearing with the
eyes," says Woman's Life.
The training consists OF very inter-
esting lectures on the theory and prac-
tice of the pure oral system, physiol'
ogy, anatomy Of the vocal organs,
voice production, psychology. methods
of teaching the language and the his
tory of the deaf mute education at
home and abroad. The student who
contemplates seriously undertaking
the work should be young and strong
endued with much patience and keen
sympathy for the afflicted.
