words. In Manhattan il will be business property
centrally situated which will offer the best oppor-
tunities for profitable purchase. In the other
boroughs the money will be made chiefly in the
development of residential neighborhoods. There

some time The bulk of the yearly increase Will

be increasingly easy for them to go to and from

very condition which will diminish the

nunicaion will merely tie Manhattan tighter 10
the other boroughs. The residents of those bor-
orghs and of New Jersey who very

because the transit is so inconvenient will
hereafter make the journey much more frequently.
and the effect of this new condition will be very
much to improve the business prosperity OF
that part of the borough affected by the retail
trade, the theatres and the restaurants. In the
long the influence cf improved means of
transit will still deeper. in that they will in
crease the efficiency and probably reduce the
OF the labor employed in New York business; but
such result is felt only slowly and almost inn
perceptibly. The result which will be felt quickly
and sharply is that already indicated of an in
creased dependence by the inhabitants of the
suburbs upon Manhattan as place in which TO
amuse themselves, TO make purchases and trans
act business; and the chance for profitable specu-
lation in Manhattan real estate during the next
few years lies in taking advantage of this new

Home Influences.

RascalIy and scoundrelly
people for the most part come
from inquitous homes, from
undisciplined homes. Par
ents harsh and cruel on the
one hand, or Oh the other
hand, loose in their govern
ment-wickedly loose IN their
government-are raising up
a generation of vipers. A
home where scolding and fret
fulness are dominated is blood
relation to the gallows and
the Jail. Petulance is a SER
pent that crdwls up in the
family nursery sometimes and
brushes everything. Why.
there are parents who even
make religion disgusting to
their children. They scold
them for not putting in all
their leisure time at church
or some church gathering.
They have an exasperating
way of doing their duty. The
house is full of the warhOOp
of contention, and from such
place father and son go out
to die. The world grows old,
and the stars will cease to IL
Illuminate it, and the waters to
refresh it, and the mountains
to guard it and it's long story
of sin and shame and glory
and triumph will soon turn to
ashes; but influences which
started in the early home roll
on and roll up through all
eternity blooming in all joy,
waving in all the triumph, or
shrinking back into all the
darkness. Father. mother,

Time Does it.

Time has a wonderful power
in taking the conceit out of
persons. When a young man
first energies from the schools
and enters upon the career OF
life, it is painfully amusing to
witness his self-sufficiency-
he would have all the world
to understand that he has
"learned out''-that he is
master Of all knowledge, and
can unravel all mysteries.
But as he grows older he
grows wiser; he learns that
he knows a great deal less
than he supposed he did, and
by the time he reaches to
three score years, he is pre-
pared to adopt as his own the
sentiment of John Wesley,
who said: "WhenI was young
I was sure of everything; in
a few years. having been mis-
taken a thousand times, I
was not half sure of most
things as I was before. At
present I am hardly sure of
anything but what God has
revealed to man."
