Tendencies now plainly observable Indicate that manufacturers are awaking to the new state of things in the industrial and commercial world. For instance, not a few of them are enlisted in the movement for improving and broadening the scope of technical education in Scotland as a necessary step toward bringing the youth of to- day up to a higher standard of skilled woritmansmp than tnat attained ny ice present foremen and operatives. This shows that the masters are finally re cognizing one of the serious deficiencies of the day, at least in some branches of production. It is also to be noticed that the "one-break" sys tem has been gradually extending, doing away with the nine o'clock break fast and the attendant stoppage of machinery and loss of time. The bonus system also gains favor more and more, giving a fair reward to workmen for zeal and cleverness.

The Improvement of mechanical facilities goes on stead ily, but so quietly that it attracts little attention. There are in this part of Sctoland constructional engineering flna3 and other iron and steel concerns whose plants have undergone radical changes in equipment and organization, and one or two such plants are probably not excelled anywhere for economical efficiency. Ropery and sailcloth companies on the east and west coast3 have been adding to the number of their fiber machines of improved American pattern. To increase the output of blast furnaces new appliances are being introduced, dispensing with pig-bed work" or casting in the sand; also new facilities for the filling of ore and coke from the bunkers to the barrows. Managers of iron foundries are adopting the hammer core machine and better equipment of tackle and porta ble jib cranes to facilitate operations.

In some foundries there Is also a further specialization, which makes for economy and finer work. Firms in the OBITUA1SY. W. M. Westlake died at his home near Jieiichatel, Friday, February 19, after an illness of about ten days, aged 64 years.

NO WOMEN LAWYERS They Are Xot Allowed In England, But Women Physicians Are Numerous. The refusal of the English bouee of lords to permit women to practice law contrasts strangely with the fact that they have full license to practice medicine. The latter would seem to be as nn-suited to women as the former, and yet the practice of medicine is more fully developed among- women in England than in any other country, and some of the female doctors have acquired considerable distinction, fays the Baltimore American.

The science of medicine can scarcely be said to require less capacity than that of law. In the earlier stage? medicine is probably the more difficult to acquire. In this country women are excluded from the bar in some states and admitted In others. They are excluded ir this state, but there is quite a numbei of them in New York. The proportion of those who distinguish themselves in any profession is small compared with the whole number, and it is possible thai as manv female as tionately, have thus far been successful The time is too short since wcrner began the practice of medicine to expect any national reputationf or even such skill as makes a physician's name a household word in a community.

They began the practice of the profession only a few years ago, and getting a practice and th opportunities to show great ability is a slow process. Thousands of trained nurses are graduated from the hospitals every year. When they enter a sick room they are a greater comfort and a safer physician than the old practitioner of 50 years ago. They perform their duties so admirably that one wonders they did not study medfeine. Perhaps if they had they would not be such admirable nurses, and yet it is difficult to dissipate the impression that the time will come when they will study medicine as well as nursing.

Mr. Ilaacke has served in that office nearly two terms, and its affairs have never been more ably conducted than during his administration. We are aware that there is an unwritten law which forbids officers boiling third terms, but there is in reality no written law against it.

As a rule, however, we believe that two terms should be sufficient and about all that public officials should ak fur, but there are and Mr. Ilaacke's cae is one in point. Besides being an expert accountant, an admirable book-keeper, and an officer who is prompt, careful and correct, his physical condition, which prevents him making a living by manual labor, appeals to us and his friends throughout the county, who would like to see him favored with another term. He is a rustler and a vote-getter, and we will miss cur guess if he doesn't set a hot pace for all aspirants to that office. There was a lady from Siam.

Every time King Edward goes from one part of England to another the mercantile community of Great Britain loses something like $5,000. This is duo to the fact that English railway officials use most extraordinary methods in safeguarding royal trains, says a London report. Even in performing so simple a journey as going from Windsor to London i a distance of about 23 miles traffic i is suspended for hours when the kins travels that way. On longer journeys the loss to business houses along the line of royal route is something enormous. When the king last journeyed from Scotland to London it was estimated that th direct loss to tradesmen was something like $15,000 on account of the tying up of traffic and delay to perishable goods When King Edward travels along a certain line all passenger and freight traffic even including the fast express service is suspended.

Most elaborate precautions of every description arff taken to insure royal safety. For In stance, for every 15 minutes before ths 1 departure of the royal train from any station all trains are held up, and or-1 dinary traffic is not resumed for 15 1 mimitca after the train has left. Along some sections cf the rout I royal trains are preceded by pilot en- Eints, wmcn go anean to test tne line, In case anything should be wrong. All throughout the journey the king's train is under the eyes of railway officials. The ordinary block system of -signaling is suspended, as being too dangerout for monarchs.

Railways officials do ncH seem to consider this? a reflection ot their own methods for safeguarding th public. They know, however, that if any of the royal party should be injurei when traveling on any special line that that particular line would see its finish-," so far as the British traveling- public Is concerned. Each portion of the line on which th king travels is guarded from' section tc section by railroad men withage. They direct the movement of the train. Then are two signalmen to every quarter of a mile.

For instance, in signaling the train from Folkestone to London upward of 383 men are required. When his majesty is about to travel the railway station is cleared of all ordinary passengers, and only a favored few are allowed on the platform. Just before the royal carriage drives up roll of crimson velvet carpet is carefuih laid along the platform between th king's carriage and the train. Usually the king's carriage, ia preceded by a few outriders men on horse-baek who clear the way and not infrequently by a small body of cavalry, the horse guards being the favored regiment, as the king himself is a colonel in that regiment. in 1.

In woolen mills old-style machinery has been for a year or two giving place to improved, faster loom3, requiring fewer weavers to manage them, thus reducing the labor cost of production. In locomotive works, I am informed, special appliances have been adopted for work heretofore done by hand, and machines have been adopted for cutting iron, brass, quickly into all sizes and shapes.

EXPOSITION ECHOES. The demands for space at the St. Louis exposition received from patent breakfast food companies alone are sufficient to fill the Agricultural building. Among the specimens of Philippine art to be shown at the St. Louis world's fair are the pictures entitled "Lawton's Death," by Fabian de la Rosa; "A Rival Rural Idyl," Ramon Martinez; "The Ceremony of the Incision of the Katipunan," by Anselmo Espiritu; "The Arrival of the Fishing Boat," Vicente Rivera Mir.

A convention of American press humorists will be held in St. Louis the week beginning May 29. They will attend a banquet June 3, on which occasion there will be a good deal of oratory.
