Fifty Years of Steel Makinu,

In 1857 the United States made l..
100000 tons of pig iron. This years
output will be about 25,000,00O tons.
Fifty years ago the largest cargo of
iron ore taken down the great lakes
was $40 tons, and pig iron, foundry
No. 2, sold at $31. Better iron is
sold today at SIG.
This season the Steel corporation S
ships brought down cargoes of from
$4,000 to $4,000 tons each and dis
charged them at lower costs and in
one-sixteenth the time required to
unload the lake vessels of fifty years
ago.
Fifty years ago the learned Sir
Lowthian Bell, one of the great iron
masters of Great Britain, gave it for
his opinion that the Lake Superior
iron ore deposits would not be a fac
tor of importance in less than GEN.
tury. This seasons downtake of
iron ores from Great Lake ports will
aggregate forty million tons, which
is within eight million tons of the to-
tai export and import tonnage of the
ports of London and Liverpool

APPEARANCES.

Ii you feel disposition to be foremost In
affairs,
Remember that a man is often judged by
what he wears.
The way to fame is either very quick OF
very slow
1t all depends upon the route by which
you choose to go.
The mighty volumes that you read; tne
midnight oil you burn
1t may be many years before they yield
you a return.
And on the other hand you may be known
and even feared,
II you wear q coat old-fashioned and
hat that's rather weird.
The speeches that you make in dim OBJ
security may rest,
But the world will think about you If you
wear a funny vest.
You mustn't be disheartened IL you ma
by any chance
That they talk more of your whiskers
than your views on high finance.
AS Shakespeare said, the world Is all a
stage. And there you are.
Don't try to run the drama-be content
to be a star.
You can't depend entirely on your wisdom
your wit
You've got to watch your makeup IL you
want to make hit.

Monopoly of GoIu.

According to statistics just publish
ed by Partisan contemporary,
France, indeed, is the happy posses
sor of one-third of all the gold coin
age in circulation throughout the
world. The writer explains that this
happens in various ways. In the
first place, the people are thrifty,
save and invest money and insist on
the fragment of the interest in gold.
Then every year crowds of foreign
ers come to France. spend some time
at hotels and make purchases, pay
ing mostly in gold. Exports, again,
bring in large sums, so that France
literally scores all round. Here are
some eloquent figures about the re-
serve of gold in the Bank of France
in 1900 it amounted to 1881 900, 900
francs. Last year it reached 2,706,-
100000 francs, while at the end of
August in this year it had attained
the figure of 2,S06,000,000 francs, or

Eorce of hahit,

A Boston psychologist was recent.
ly reminded Of the story of the Rus
sian jailer who, changing his occu-
patton, found the chief interest OF his
leisure moments in catching birds,
putting them in cages and selling
them to the highest bidder.
The scientist having to attend a
series OF lectures in a large public
hall struck up acquaintance with the
janitor Of the building and soon not
ed in him suggestive bent of mind.
The man seemed fond of counting
the people, and would occasionally
report the exact number present. 1--WE
have 115 here tonight" he would
say or "Just POI all told;" or, when,
the hall was crowded. II make 1t
370." There was problem in all
this, but 1t took some time for the
psychologist to solve it.
A bit of friendly, familiar talk,
continually renewed did the busi-
ness, for 1t brought out the fact that
the janitor had spent many of the
previous years of his life as warden
in an Eastern prison. With rifle on
shoulder, from some enclosing wall,
the man had counted his convicts un.
til the habit became ingrained. In
the recesses of his brain the lecture
hall took the shape Of Jail yard
and the audiences were his prisoners.
He counted because he wished 10

MUSIC STUDENTS
Should Have Steady Nerves.

The nervous system of the musi-
clan Is often very sensitive, and any
habit like coffee drinking may so up
set the nerves as to make regular and
necessary daily practice next to inn
possible.
II practice from seven to eight
hours a day and study Harmony two
hours" writes Mich. music student.
Last September l was so nervous l
could only practice few minutes at
time and mother said would have
to drop my music for a year.
This was terribly discouraging. as
] couldn't bear the thought of losing
whole year of study. Becoming
convinced that my nervousness was
caused largely by coffee, and seeing
Postum 30 highly spoken of. / decided
would test 1t for while.
Mother followed the directions
carefully and thought had never
tasted such delicious drink. We
drank Postum every morning instead
OF coffee, and by November | felt
more like myself than for years. and
was ready to resume my music.
Il now practice as usual, do my
studying and when my days work is
finished am not any more nervous
than when l began.
Il cannot too highly recommend
Postum to musicians who practice
half day. My father is a physician
and recommends Postum to his pa
