TRICKS IN THE EXPORT TRADE.

German hardware manufacturers a-~
considerably stirred up over the ac-
count of an interview which repre-
sentative of the Ironmonger had re-
Gently with q Sheffield manufacturer
who had just returned from bust
ness trip to Brazil and the Argentine
Republic In this interview the Shef-
field gentleman stated that the German
manufacturers secured most ct the
British trade by fradulently initiating
English marks and marking their
goods with English words. He further
made the sweeping assertion that 80
per cent. of the German export trade
is transacted on false representation.
Stahl und Eisen, the leading German
iron trade paper, wakes wrathy at
hearing these charges, and after
branding them as barefaced lies,
quotes the statement of a leading Ger
man hardware manufacturer, who has
branch houses in South America. The
latter deals with the question of trade
marks at length, and refutes the
charge that the Germans are the only
traders who use the marks of other
countries. This gentleman declares
that the we'll known firm, Nettlefold o.
Birmingham, at the head of which
Joseph Chamberlain stands, marks
wood screws for export in French.

HARVARD STUDENTS.

In the academic department of Har-
ward there are nowadays nearly
eighteen hundred young men. Rather
more than half of them come from
places so near Cambridge that they
can spend their Sundays at home.
Pretty nearly half come from Boston
and the towns and cities Immediately
tributary to it. Six or seven hundred
come from outside of New England
and of these about one hundred and
fifty or seventy-five come from New
York and it's suburbs. New England,

AN ELECTRIC SEWING MACHINE

A Chicagoan, John S. Bigger, has
patented an electrically operated
sewing machine 1t is very simple in
its construction and is adapted to be
driven by a battery current. The
needle is mounted upon the lower end
o. a core which is reciprocated by
pair of solenoids. A motor is contained
within the frame of the machine and
rotates the shuttle shaft. The sole
noids and motor are placed in a COM
mon circuit controlled by a switch
mounted on a frame of the machine
BY this construction all the working
parts are inclosed, thus eliminating all
danger from handling by the un-

A prominent society woman, who
has a beautiful summer home at q
leading suburb of a large city, has hit
upon a very bright idea to entertain
her guests who come from the city to
spend the day which excludes all pos
sibility of gossip. After her friends
have made themselves at home,
comfortable little tables are brought
out if it is a pleasant day and not too
windy upon the whole wide yeranda,
and the hostess invites her guests to
try their skill upon duplicate whist.
This is played until luncheon is serv-
ed, after which the ladies look over
the charming place, and if there is
time after their walk they return to
their game and continue until the hour
to take the afternoon train. They
reach home with a clear conscience,
and have the satisfaction of knowing
that in so far as they are concerned
their neighbors' reputation is still un-
| furnished.

Hawaii does the right thing
sometimes. One is the prevention
of live rabbits from landing in the
country. While there is not more
shy or winsome beast of the field
or the forest than the rabbit, there
is none that would be more of a
pest to agriculture here if let
loose. The loss it has caused to
Australia, with the end not in
sight, is counted in many millions.

dearly bought.

is that of compensation for ami
mails destroyed on account of hav.
ing tuberculosis or other infec-
tious disease. 1t is known that in
some countries the principle of
compensation is granted by the
authorities, for one thing as an
assurance against evasion of the

of animals. Prevention of the
danger here ought to be carried
out without injustice, and, prior
to the session, there should be
full discussion of the whole sub

THE EXAMINER.

Nothing could be more erratc
than the course of the San Fran.
cisco Examiner on the Hawaiian
question. 1t was bitter against
the beginnings of the Republic Of
Hawaii. Then, after long period
of Indifference, it lately came out
with good and strong arguments
in favor of immediate annexation.
The latest mail has brought the
Examiner welding an ice water
sprinkler against the prospects of
the annexation treaty. 1t would
not concede the thought of max
ing the islands a State or Ter
ritory, bnt might reluctantly con-
sent to having them made a coun-
ty of California, which, at the
same time, it thinks would be
scarcely acceptable to the persons
now governing the islands. Pro.
badly majority of islanders sup
porting the proposal of union are
willing to leave the form of local
government to negotiations after
the passage of the treaty, but it
must be very small fraction who
are ready to accept annexation to
California instead OF to the United
States. Local self.government
these islands must have from the
outset, whatever degree of federal
representation may be granted.
