If the financia doings of these women may be taken as an example, many a humble toilor may be pardoned in paraphrasing "Lives of great women remind us, we can make our lives sublime." Thousands of the humbler workers will be interested to learn that most of these multi-millionaire_omen began their careers by packing typewriting keys for ten and fifteen dollars a week.

"Daring the recent great strikes in Colorado, when the mines and the military were practically at war, the astute Miss O'Bryan acquired various interests in min. ning properties for the merest song, fore- seeing that when law and order should be restored the reaction would come and stocka would go up with a bound, particularly the case of genuine properties.
***Truth to tell, however, Millie O'Bryan owes much of her success to the valuable. tips she received during her employment aatenographer, but her success, far from contenting her, only spurred her on to more ambitious efforts, Quite recently sho organized the Teutonic Mining Company, and is at this moment ite regularly elected president, The-claims belonging to this mine adjoin the famous W.P.H.," where ore of fabulous richness has been discover- ed.

Green is a truly remarkable woman, who has amassed a fortune af over 880,000,000, and put to rout unscrupulous lawyers and people who have attempted to got the better of her in all parts of the country.

Green, who now liven in Dallas, Toxas. "Ned is a good boy," Mrs Geen remarked to the present writer, "and I have entrusted him with the management of all my property west of Buffalo."
"Mrs Green's enormous fortune - which she has made herself, remember-ia distri buted, as abe says herself, pretty well everywhore that money can go and bring back something.' And yet this woman is living in a shabby flat over in Hoboken, N.J., for which she pays less than a pound a week-four roons on the third floor 1 She has a horror of all the things the average rich, American woman adores, such as motor cara, jewels, lovely frooks, horses and carriacos, a box at the opera, and so on. Mrs Hotty Green allows herself just one personal servant, and she has even been known to bring her own lunch to her

"And her neighbors at home-evou in the same house with her-are humble clerks, artisans and typewriters.

Sm,-I note that in your leading article in the issue of the 28th December last you state that "Of the total revenue collected (by the Imperial Chinese Maritime Customs at Canton in 1904), Great Britain paid Hk. Tools 2,224,741.43, being more than eight times the amount of revenus paid by all the other foreign nations put together."
From this you argue, rightly enough if your figures are correct, that British trade with Canton at least is in a healthy con dition.

AUSTRIAN EXHIBITION AT
LONDON.
In the first days of the coming month of May an "Austrian Exhibition" will be opened at the Earl's Court, London, the famous grounds where so many exhibitions have taken place during the last few years. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has graciously consented to extend his patronage to the Exhibition which-is Arranged by a large committee of influential Austrian manufacturers and merchants at Vienna, under the honorary presidency of the Chief of the Austrian Board of Trade, His Excellency Count Auersperg,
The arrangements in London are in the hands of another committee of British and Austrian Merchants residing there, and presided over by the Lord Mayor of London.
The chief aim of the Exhibition will be to impress the British public with the great progress the industries and trade of Austrin has made in the last year, and with its great expacity for supplying Greant Britiain and the British colonies with many kinds of goods. There is no doubt that this Exhibi- tion will promote commerce between the two countries, and in consideration of this fact the exhibition is largely subsidised by the Austrian Government.
The Exhibition will contain a complete show of the best agricultural and industrial products of Austria, and will convince the British public that the industrial and com- mercial development of this State is not behind that of the other European countries, but excels them in many ways.
13
|
Apart from this splendid show, which will interest all the experts, manufacturers, and merchants who continually pass through London, the Exhibition will offer many which amusements and pleasures, among to be noted are a theatre, on the stage of which the best Austrian artists will give performancos, "Tyrolean village ".— designed and built by the colebrated painter Kautsky, - Austrian restaurants, Vienna cafox, brasseries, in which the famous Pilsner and Drener beer will be sold, etc. The Choral Union of Vienna" (Wiener Minner Gesangs Verein) And the Philharmonists of Vienna" will give concerts in the Exhibition, and will be appreciated and enjoyed by all lovers of
eally good music.
It is to be hoped that this Exhibition will be a great help in furthering social, industrial and commercial intercourse bo- tween Austria, Great Britain and the British Colonies, and that the British people will not content themselves with inspecting the Exhibition but will extend their alrandy frequent pleasure and business trips on the Continent to Austria, which
offers satisfaction in both directions, but being a little out of the route of the British and Colonial travellers on the Continent has been very much neglected by them.
WEATHER REPORT.
