PersonaIIty.

The two great obstacles to the healthy development of personality are jealousy and fear, and they are as high and terrible' in business as .n any other department of life's activi- ties. So long as man harbors envy for any one of his fellows, more es- pecially his competitor in business, so long will he be devoid of that elixir which personality advertises. Being Jealous of some other man does not harm the other man: it only injures the jealous one. And if the Jealousy be openly expressed. the extent of the damage increases, whilst the object of the envy receives an addition of benefit and value for himself through the gratuitous advertisement. A man occupied in envying another Is using up power which he could better apply tor his own progression. --Nxchan&s.

Az to the Iron Aae.

The best informed sources give the period from 2OOO to 25OO B. c. az mark ing the transition from bronze to iron. Prof. J. B. Wilson, in an article in the Princeton Theological Review, presents pretty nearly all of the available evi- dence on the subject. The "iron age" seems to have begun earliest in Asia Minor, where iron was used for vari. ous purposes as early as 2500 B. O.. The people of Nippur used iron knives and arroNl.l1ls as early as POO B. O., and iron is claimed to have been in use in Babylon Eve centuries.
