The Value of Diplomacy.

The southern darky is not, gener-
it comes to dealing with his white
neighbors, as the following story in
dicates:
A certain planter in Louisiana had
caught an opossum, and, seeing three
negroes whom he knew approach,
and knowing the fondness of the race
for the aforementioned toothsome
animal, determined to have some fun.
Boys" he said, I've got a fine
'possum here, and I'm going to give
him to the man who will tell me to
what political party he belongs and
can give the best reason for his be-
lief.
Now, John, now do you vote, and
what is your reason for doing so?"

Taste For Caviare.

II few people like caviare, those
who like 1t at all like 1t very much
indeed. Bismarck was probably it's
most famous devotee. One gathers
from Busch that the Iron Chancellor
was prepared to talk caviare to any
extent II the subject came up, treat
ing of its varieties and merits with
minute knowledge. And twice it
comes out that one of his principal
grievances against "fat Borck, the
holder of the Kings privy purse, Z"
was concerning caviare. Bismarck
had sent forty pounds OF a choice
variety to King William as present,
and was astonished to get no present
nor even thank you in return. But
some friend, dropping into Borck's
room, saw barrel of caviare there
with spoon standing in 1t, and told
Bismarck. The Chancellor could not
forget or forgive Borcks intercept
tion of his gift to the King.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
WEEKLY TRADE SUMMARY
Business Failures Fewer In Number
and Better Feeling Obtains.

New York.-"Bradstreet sums up
the situation as follows:
"The introduction of the new tariff
bill in Congress and the advance of
the spring jobbing season toward its
close have made for a rather quieter
tone in trade this week. A fair busi-
ness Is doing in nearly all lines, and
the turnover is in excess Of year
ago at this date, but conservatism
rules. Spring jobbing activity has
passed its zenith, buying is only to
cover immediate necessities, the re-
suits of Easter trade at retail are
awaited with interest, collections are
only fair, and the volume of business
done this spring so far is, in some
respects, disappointing. Jobbing
trade seems to have quieted down at
a number Of markets East and west,
Chicago and st. Louis, Kansas City
in the West and New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Boston in the
East, reporting some reduction In de-
mand, partly explainable by the ad-
vance of the season and the return
Of buyers to their homes.
Price reductions in iron and steel
nave brought out some new business
but unsettlement stin rules. Pig
iron stocks are Accomplishing and
prices weak. The same is largely
true of other metals. Additional re-
ports of wage reductions come from
iron and steel interests.
"ln the cotton goods line the spring
rush Is over, print cloths are quieter
er and bleached goods and cotton
yarns are weaker, but an important
revival in export trade goods is
noted.
"The leather trade is quiet, as is
also the market for hides. Shoe
manufacturers are approaching the
end of the spring run. Eastern ship
ments are "a per cent larger than a
year ago.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with
March Is were 22i, against 254 last
week, 903 in the like week of 1907,
157 in 1907, 10 in 1906, and 2O4 in
1905.
Business failures in Canada for
the week number 80, which compares
with 40 last week and 80 in the same
week of 1908.

Six Gored Skirt.

The skirt that gives a panel effect
at the front and at the back Is one Of
the latest to have appeared and 1t has
the very great merit of suiting the
simple costume of street wear and the
dressy one with long skirt equally
we'll. This model can be treated In
either way and also allows choice
of the Empire or natural waist line SO
that 1t becomes adapted to almost all
occasions and to a variety of the new
materials known as wool satin and Is
trimmed with buttons, but II makes
a charming model for the thinner,
light fabrics of indoor wear, such as
pongee and foulard, crepe de Chine,
crepe meteore and the like, and 1t
can be trimmed with buttons and
simulated buttonholes, as In this In
stance, or In any way that fancy may
suggest.
The skirt is made with six cores
and with a panel at the front and at
the back. 1t can be closed at either
the front or the back. When made
in Empire style the seams should be
boned from the upper edge to COM
Portable depth and the upper edge
under-faced, but when cut off at the
natural waist line 1t is simply Joined
to the belt.
The quantity Of material required

coming and attractive yet perfectly
simple and youthful withal. 1t can
be made from wool material, such as
cashmere, albatross, henrietta, broad
cloth or light weight serge, 1t can be
made from such silks as pongee and
1t is just as we'll adapted to washable
materials. In the illustration there
is an attractive bertha, but that fea-
ture is optional, and II a palmer dress
is wanted 1t can be omitted.
The dress is made with the pleated
princesse portion and the yoke that
are Joined one to the other. The
short sleeves are inserted in the arm
holes and the bertha is arranged over
the yoke. The guimpe is a plain one
that can be faced with any fancy ma
terial to form yoke, while the
sleeves are made to match or can be
made of one material throughout, as
liked.
The quantity Of material required
for the medium size (twelve years)
is ten yards twenty-four, six and one
half yards thirty-two or four and
seven-eighth yards forty-four inches
wide, with five-eighth yard thirty-six
inches wide and one and seven-eighth
yards eighteen inches wide to make
collar and guimpe as illustrated, one
and one-fourth yards thirty-six inches
wide when one material is used
throughout.

members of the British royal family.
Hitherto when the royal family have
Travelled over portions of the East

| ago at the London and Northwestern
Company's works at Wolverton has
been utilized; but now the East Coast
companies are in possession of their
| own special train.
The Kings saloon is siyty-seven
feet in length over the body, nine
feet wide and twelve feet eleven
inches high from rail level to top of
roof. 1t is constructed of teak with
a steel underframe and is carried on
two six wheeled bogies. Entrance Is
obtained from double doors opening
inward at each end; the mouldings
round the panels and windows are of
gilt brass and the centre of the bot
tom panels is ornamented with his
| Majesty's cipher. On each side of
the doors are gilt grip handles ex-

loon is divided as follows: Entrance

| loon is heated by means of warmed
air, which is delivered into the vari-
out compartments through ducts
| from electric blowers situated In the
attendants compartment. Ventila-
| tion is also afforded in the same way,
and the air from the roof ventilators
is extracted by means of electric ex-
| hausters.
In addition to the saloons for his
| Majesty the King two special saloons
have been constructed for his Ma
| jesty's suite and friends, which are
vestibuled on to the royal saloon.
These saloons are carried on four
wheeled bogies of special design with
ten foot wheel base. The vehicles
are fifty-eight feet six inches long and
