GERMAN MILITARY SERVICE.
Its Effect Upon the Industrial Condi
tion of the Country.

tion of the Country.
AS the result of careful inquiries, yeri-
fed as fully as possible, / should con-
slider the following generalization not
| unsafe. out of an average 100 town-bred
young men who are eligible for military
duty, ten will strive for and five attain
| the standard of scholarship which entities
them to the privilege of brief service as
students. Most of these subsequently
emigrate in search of better opportunities
| for professional work than are found at
home. OF the 50 conscripted for three
years, probably 50 are mustered in for
that period. of whom say 25 are relieved
at the end Of two years for superior prof.
cheney and exemplary conduct, but may
at any time be called back to complete
their term of enlistment. Few of this
class would, III any case, have become
mechanics, and when discharged they
seek employment as clerks or book
keepers. OF the remaining 20 who serve
three years, probably one-half are intelli-
gent enough TO see that they are
losing valuable time, and will
make their plans to engage, when
discharged, in some occupation in
which success is not dependent upon
thoroughness of training. If they cannot
secure civil appointments and have no
inducement to emigrate, they may re-
luctantly enter the workshops; but this is
become students. Probably not twenty
in the hundred elect to become skilled
mechanics. That their success is limited
is not surprising. Their thoughts are in
the barracks, and they long to return to
the associations of army life. They are
not at home in the workshop, and it is
long before they become so. At best they
are restless. discontented, unsettled.
ready to rejoice at the proclamation of
war AS they grow older no doubt this
feeling gives place to q more reasonable
conception of the responsibilities of life.
If they marry, as they are very likely to
do, the increasing pressure of social and
domestic responsibility is calculated to
make them very practical, but until, at
45. they are finally discharged. the fact
that they are German soldiers dominates
all other ideas.
Considering the facts which have been
outlined, il is not surprising that em-
ployers of labor in trades demanding
skill and experience find increasing difIi-
Guilty in filing their shops with men able
and willing to become master mechanics.
The lack OF skilled labor and the scarcity
of material from which skilled workmen
can be made is already a serious discour-
ageInent to the establishment of new in
dustries in Germany, as well as to the
maintenance and extension of old ones.
So long as the first duty OF the citizen IS
to his King and the twenty-eight best
years OF life are interrupted by the more
or less constant demands of military
duty, the tendency must be toward ma
national impoverishment and industrial
paralysis.-James c. Baylis in the En-
gineering Magazine.

Affairs Still Remain in an Unsettled
Condition.

Affairs Still Remain in an Unsettled
Condition.
APIA, Oct. PIT is difficult to ascertain
the strength ofMataafa's S following. While
his sympathizers contend that he is as
strong as ever, the Government party
asserts that various districts have aban-
doned him. He certainly has not nine
tenths OF Samoa with him, as has been
stated. No leader could obtain such a
following, as family and tribal iealousies
always cause a division. He has lately
sent out messengers throughout Samoa
with the object of aScertaining what his
following would be in case of war. II is
reported that the result is satisfactory to
him. One great handicap he has to con-
tend with Is the ammunition question
and the uncertainty as TO what action the
great Powers would take in the event of
war.
y factor which prevents war is that the
present status OF affairs suits the Samoans
as they are not obliged TO pay taxes.
Both the General and Municipal Govern
ments are practically bankrupt. No sal
aries were paid last month by the latter
and the former has given notice that they
will be unable 10 pay any after the pres
ent month.
4 large meeting was held at Lufi-Lufi
tthe ruling town ut Atua) lately, and after
8 great deal of talk, 1t was decided first of
all to build two large boats, and then
collect their poll tax. The fact is, that
although Atua is angry with Mataafa
VINO holds the title of Tui Atua King OF
AtHa), for going over to the Tuamaroga
in the last war without first consulting
them, still they do not care to pay a tax to
support white officials who have failed
utterly to improve the state of affairs
here. This feeling is shared by most Of
the Government party, SO that although
Laupepa would probably raise a large
following, it must not be supposed there
VIII be fighting 10 maintain their present
officials in their positions. Atua and
Aoona are generally supposed to be
working to start the two Maletoas fight
ing, and then bring young Tamasese to
the front.
By ancient traditions both these dis
tricts are bound TO the Tupua family.
The three Consuls are working ami
cably, and in their capacity as Consular
Board are exercising wise check over
the President.
The President has again borrowed
money from the General Government,
most of which goes to pay his salary.
The rumor is current that it is likely that
the British Government will annex
Samoa, or at least declare protectoraie
though heretofore it was generally un-
derstood that when King George of
Tonga died England would take that
island and Germany Samoa.

277s Difference
The "Royal" the Strongest and
Purest Baking Powder.

Whether any other baking powder is equal to
Royal let the official reports decide, When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the
New-York Board Of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent greater strength than any other brand
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows:
If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells
for SO cents,
One pound Of no other powder is worth over
50 cents.
If another baking powder is forced upon you
by the grocer in place of the Royal, see that you
are charged the correspondingIy lower price.

MAN AND GIRLS EQUALLY SCARED.
The Male Swimmer startled by Two
Females Who Wanted a Dip.
A man has been spending few days at
Mlnnetonka and the St. Paul Gl06e re-
lAtes what happened TO him. He arrived
at the lake late one night. 1t was warm
and clear and everybody had gone away
somewhere. He wanted to go In swim
! ming, so he sought a dark little cove,
and, as no one was in sight, dispensed
with bathing suit, but kept strictly in
the shadow. In the midst of his enjoy
ment he was Mortified by the sound of
| two feminine voices. He submerged
himself to the tip of his blushjng nose
just as two young women he knew came
skipping to the shore and pumped them
selves down in the moonlight. He stood
IN the water and quaked for what he says
was an hour. Then one said:
on, Maude, isn't this lovely?"
1t perfect night. Well never have
better chance; never"
"Oh, Pm afraid"
"Oh, bosh! Every soul is in bed. ItIl
be an awful lark-all by ourselves, too"
"Maude, If there's anyone about 1 shall
simply die right here"
There's no one about, goosie. Do
you think Pd risk it if there wasp
Wed better go up back of that rock.
Did you bring buttonhook ?"
Il never thought of it,"
Horrors What were those awful girls
going TO do? If you can fancy cold drops
OF prespiration starting out on a man un-
der water that's how that man felt. A
| horrible fear flashed over him, and it be-
came and awful certainty when the voice
went on:
"Oh, Maude, am awfully scared"
why, what a conventional girl YOU
are, If you're such a 'fraid cat, we can
go over in that little cove where it is
dark"
Then that man lifted up his voice-or
at least he says he did-and screamed,
ladies Ladiesi You are observed -
There were two sudden screams and
one mad rush for the rock and then
quivering voice said:
t-H you are gentleman you will
remain where you are, sir"
And the shivering man chattered:
II am gentleman, but please hurry
| up. for am freezing to death"
There was a three minute silence.
broken now and then by sobs and cutting
remarks, and then streak of blue serge
and pink muslin across the lawn to the
hotel. The man followed later and re-
tired in confusion, accompanied bv
whisky and quinine. And now he wants
to know If those girls recognized his
voice.
