Sidewalk Manners.

With the new traffic rules going into
effect to lessen the risk Of street ac-
cidents, pedestrians themselves should
take more heed Of their movements on
the sidewalks. Bad sidewalk manners
are responsible for many delays and
collisions and much unpleasantness.
The general rule Of the road to keep
to the right should be strictly OBJ
served within the curbs as beyond
them. If all pedestrians will follow
that rule sidewalk traffic will move
more smoothly and with less friction,
however crowded. In another respect,
too, consideration for others, which is
the basis Of politeness, should be
shown. Persons stopping to talk
should move to the edge Of the walk
and not stand in the middle. These are
simple matters; the habit Of sidewalk
politeness is easily. acquired and makes
for a much better feeling and for more
speed Of action.

macy may in some way be affected.
Business Of that character may be
transacted in some new way, or it in
the old way with some new wrinkles.
In that event we shall, Of course, have
to follow the fashion. We have not, it
is true, followed the fashion as to q
trained. q professional, diplomacy
educating men for the business, and
giving them life tenure Of office-but
we have put into the hands of those
commissioned after our own. fashion
many important matters, and been
served by them with much success.
The American fashion, so to say, has
justified itself under many admins
trations. The latest justification is
familiar. Not a man appointed under
the present administration to an i'm
portant diplomatic post had had a
days experience in the diplomatic line.
And yet not one has failed in Office.
All have been tried unusually in times
unprecedented in the history Of diplo-
macy. With all the world shaken, and
all affairs more or less dislocated,
making it difficult for even the vet
eran diplomatists of other countries to
find their way, our men, all new re-
cruits, have been reasonably sure
footed, and have made goal.

in the line OF productivity. We have
the means cf filing, and can fill, very
large orders Of many business kinds.
But much remains to be done be-
fore we can hope to realize our ex-
pectations. We must set before for
eigners in their homes details of in
terest to them concerning our ability
to supply them with things they must
buy abroad. We must visit such Of
them as are not able to visit US, and
give them ocular proof Of our re-
sources.
Here, of course, is where the COM
mercial traveller comes in. Much rests
on him, and the way he displays his
samples. To be really serviceable, he
should speak the language Of the coun-
try he visits, and know in advance
what is wanted and how it should be
prepared and delivered.
Printed matter also will cut con-
siderable figure. Catalogues should be
generously distributed. The English
are employing this means. An Eng
lish firm, following the advice of the
foreign trade department of the gov
ernment, recently issued catalogue
printed in six languages and illus
trated at the expense Of thousands of
dollars. and reported to the department
large sales as the result of its enter
prise. And England is not only one
of our competitors for foreign trade,
but one Of the shrewdest and most sue
