It is a symposium of prosper ity and a return of business confi dence. In an interesting summary, the editor says that American people as a whole are the richest on earth. Their visible assets exceed 1,500,000 000,000. This valuation does not in clude our lauds nor the estimated val uationsof our mines and standing timber. As a comparison it may bo pointed out that Great Britain's visi ble assets are $500,000,000,000. Each revolution of the globe sees us richer by the sum of 10,500,000. Our in crease in riches in each two months is somthing in excess of the aggregate banking capital of all the banks in Great Britain and Ireland. In each ten days we roll up a national gain in riches that is the equivalent of the capital and the reserve of the Bank of England. We have 22,000,000 workers who earn 14,000,000,000 during a year, which does not include dividends on any form of stock or incomes from bank deposits. If the total wealth of the United States were divided into per capita allot ments it would figure at 1,768. All the riches of our millionaires in the aggregate pale into insignificance when contrasted with the- people's money in our saving's banks, which contain seven times as much money a is new on account o all the crown ed heads and nobility of Europe and Asia. We possess one-fifth of the world's money though our country has but one-sixth of the world 's popu lation and only one-seventh per cent of its area. . The industries of this country which consume agricultural products as the principal materials employ 37 per cent of all persons engaged in manu facturing and the capital of those in dustries is 42.5 per cent of the capital of all manufacturing plants. The val ue of the capital invested in our rail roads is almost 14,000,000.000. The total length of the roads is 226,000 miles of double and single track lines. Adding sidings and trackage in rail road yards, the total lino of tracks measures 314,000 miles. The annual passenger traffic is 700,000,000, the yearly haulage of freight is 1,C50,000 tons. To operate this serviee 1,657,600 freight, 35,000 passenger cars and 5C, 000 locomotives are required. The an nual upkeep of these roads costs 300,000,000, and they consume the larger part of the output of our steel mills. In freight carriage there has been a gain of 43,000,000 tons be tween 1902 and 1907. This gain is 9,000,000 more than the total of freight carried bv all or in 1SS0. arrived at from a iese simple statistics is only increasingly prosperous as the years pass, but prosperous to a mar velous degree at the present hour.

New Orleans, La. One of the greatest channel making undertak ings in the history of American river Improvement will be brought nearly to completion when the jetties at the mouth of the Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River are finished. These jetties, after some dredging between them is completed, will give the South one of the deepest harbors in the world by openings to the access of the largest steamships afloat the 100 and 200 foot depths of the lower Mississippi River. The harbor thus made accessible has navigable water connection with at least a dozen States bordering the Mississippi and its tributaries- the Ohio, the Missouri, the Arkansas and the Red rivers. About ? 6,0 00,0 00 is befng spent on this improvement by the United States Government; which has the work in charge. The new jetties were begun four years ago. They are on a larger scale and more substantial than the famous jetties at the Mississippi's South Pass, an outlet which for more than thirty years has ben the river's commercial entrance. They are near ly parallel walls, one about three and the other about four miles long, lying more than half a mile apart and built in the shoal water, at the juncture of the Pass with the Gulf of Mexico. Their purpose is to con fine and thus accelerate the river's current across a mud bar about three miles' broad, so as to produce a chan nel at least 1000 feet wide, with a minimum depth of thirty-five feet. The swift current which they have produced, aided by dredging, even before their Completion, has caused ' a tremendous scour and has already ; made flftyto eighty-five feet of water in some places, where at the begin ning of the work the depth was only a little' over a man's head. To. make the uniform contract depth there is still in several spots about ten feet of mud to be removed.

Probablytew walls ever have been couslwffSri under greater difficul ties-than were these jetties. They are made of willow, scantling, stone and concrete. Although in some places they are not six feet deep, and although their greatest depth is barely fifteen feet, they have cost $2,700.-000. Every material entering into their construction has been brought from distances of one hun dred to five hundred miles. The ietties have no foundation. rbut rely for stability upon their ex tremely oroaa cases, being irom iuu to 150 feet wide at the bottom. In contrast to this great width of base, the. concrete, capping which forms THIS ADVANCED WESTERN SCHOOL HAS A CLASS IN WOOING Courtship Formally Adopted as a Course in Illinois Town and Has 23 Piisjils-'Semo of the Subjects That Will Be Taught, Greenville, 111.

ONE OF THE GREATEST UNDERTAKINGS IN HISTORY the top of the jetties, and which Is the work receiving Us finishing touches this week, is only a few feet wide. The capping is a sea wall four and one-half feet high and Is the only portion of the jetties not submerged. The wall weighs between two and three tons to each linear foot. The submerged structure support ing this mas3 of concrete is made almost entirely of willow poles and brush. With the aid of frame works of scantllug the willows were formed into so-called mattresses broad, flat structures resembling bed raattressss in form each about two feet thick, 200 feet long and varying in width from thirty-five to 150 feet. .Tho mattresses were sunk one above the other, with the widest at the bottom and those above uniformly diminish ing in width as they approached the surface. The topmost mattresses were uniformly thirty-five feet wide, and on a level with the surface of the water. Heavy broken stone was spread evenly over the mattresses to sink them, so that a layer of stone rests between each of these w'illow structures. The greatest number of supperimposed mattresses is five. The Mississippi has done some in teresting work in addition -to scour ing out a channel, for it has made the mattressesractically Indestruc tible to any norma! agency of nature in this region by burying them under hundreds of tons of mud. These de posits follow closely the contour of the jetties, in conjunction with' which they form new banks of the river. The only change likely to occur in the jetties is their gradual sinking, until in time the concrete capping entirely disappears. This sinking already has occurred to the jettle3 at South Pass. In the course of many years a new bar may.fEHi by silt deposits in the ruU in the now deep water beyond the mouth oi the jetties, and ti remedy will he the extension of jetties a short distance further, rate of bar extension during he seventy-five years preceding starting of the jetties was betw 150 and 250 feet annually, and deposits responsible for this advance were made when conditions, now greatly changed, favored such accre tions. Part of the $6,000,000 allotted to making the channel is being spent in safeguards several miles above the jetties to prevent an,y increase in the flow of other large outlets from the main river to the Gulf. This is being accomplished by placing stone covered mattres3 sills on the river bottom across the entrances to those outlets. Several small bayous leading from Southwest Pass to the.

New York, Special. Under call of the State banking department for re ports of the condition on December 19th, 21 trust companies and 29 State banks of Greater New York have fil ed their formal statements. While the effects of the recent storm are plainly evident, espeeialiy in regard to those few institutions against whom the attack seemed most direct, the statements as a whole bear testi mony of the quick recovery gener ally made and the unwavering confi dence of the great body of deposi tors. The reports also show that cer tain of the State banks of New York City did their share toward relieving the financial situation in other cities. They accomplished this by accepting from the local national banks a large quantity of clearing house certificates leaving the national banks in posi tion to employ their cash in relief of customers and correspondents in the interior. Enormous Deposits. The 29 State banks of New York, Brooklyn and the other boroughs of Greater New York, which have so far reported, show aggregate deposits of $225,000,000. Of this enormous sum the net loss in withdrawals since August 22d last, amounted to only $3,056,117. The losses were distributed among 18 of the banks with total Withdrawals of $13,925,761, while 11 banks show ed an aggregate gain of $10,SG9,G44. Only one State, bank took advant age of its membership in the clearing house association to issue certificates which are now outstanding as a lia bility item of $520,000. Nine of the State banks hold clearing house certi ficates to the extent of $7,100,000. Loans and discounts show a decrease in the statements of" 19 of the banks while the values of stocks, bonds, mortgages, etc., as an item of re sources also show a general shrink age. A majority of the banka show an increase of cash on hand. Trust Companies Condition. The official statements of the trust companies of Greater New York are perhaps fraught with the greatest in terest. These institutions were forc ed to bear the bruiit of the finart cial storm, which broke with the suspension of the Knickerbocker Trust Company. The 21 companies which have thus far reported show a falling off of deposits from $278,056, 300 on August 22d last, to $190,256, 500 on December 19th. TIi loss ot deposit? was accompanied by the calling in of loans, the reduction ia the latter instance amounting to $7S, 000,000. The market values of stocks, etc., show a decline of abou' $20,000,000. In specie Hie 21 trust companies show a loss of less than $2,000,000 while in legal tenders and bank notes, hold as reserve they show an increase of nearly $1,000,000. Capital Unimpaired. The report of the Trust Company of America, which withstood a run of many days, shows a net decline in cash reserve of less than 1 per cent, since August 1st. The capital of the Trust Company of America as with all the other companies submit ing reports, maintains unimpaired. This showing of the company is made despite the fact that during the run i't paid out more than $-50,000,000. Part of this came from the $20,000, 000 fund turned over to the institu tion by the committee of trust com panies which came to the relief of the Trust Company of America, when it was most needed. Loans to di rectors which six months ago amount ed to $3,500,000, do not appear in the December statement, all directors having paid up during the crisis.

Why should it when it can purrt But, nevertheless, it seems to serve the same purpose in permitting a temporary expenditure of excess ner vous energy when the animal is un der great strain. For instance, when carefully stalking a bird or a man, as in the case of a kitten or a lion, the tip of the tail is never still for a moment ever curling and uncurl ing. We may compare this to the nervous tapping of the foot or ling ers in a man. When an angry lion is roaring his loudest, his tail will frequently lash from side to side, giv ing rise among the ancients to the belief that-4ie scourged his body with a hook or thorn which grew from the end of the tail. When a jaguar walks along A slender bough, or a house cat peram bulates the top of a board fence, we perceive another important function of the tail that of an aid in balanc ing. As a tight-rope performer sways his pole, so the feline shifts its tail to preserve the center of gravity. The tail of a sheep seems to be of little use to its owner, although in the breed which is found in Asia Minor and on the tablelands of Tar tary, this organ functions as a store house of fat, and sometimes reaches a weight of fifty pounds. When viewed from behind, the animal seems all tail, and when this appendage reaches its full size it is either fast ened between two sticks which drags on the ground, or it is suspended on two small wheels.

These papers will prove to ba chock-a-block full of surprises ior even the well informed parentwho ought to, but does not, know about all the matter of his boy's education. It is not too much to say that these articles will create a revolution in public sentiment regarding our boys private schools. From this it mus-. not be inferred that Mr. Rogers 13 an unfriendly critic his articles arc really constructive in spirit; but at the same time he hits some evils with a mailed fist.
