BONAR LAW AN IRON MERCHANT.

Mr. Bonar Law,«despite his name, is not in the long list of men who were in the legal profession before taking up politics. He was a Glasgow iron merchant, a keen business man, and he established his reputation at Westminster in a single speech. «• - One of his most remarkable faculties is his gift for memorizing. This applies particularly to fig ures, and he has confounded many; an opponent by Correctinghim, from memory, on some vital point of statistics. He can store more figures up in his brain than the average man could write iq - a notebook,— But perhaps his most valuable quality is that of “sticking it.” IK has stuck to his job more than once while suffering from personal sorrows which would have bowled over less resolute men. —Answers, London.
