PRINTING ON BACKGROUNDS.
Valuable Suggestions For Amateur
Photographers.

Often an amateur photographer finds
it desirable to add a background to a
portrait or group that he has taken.
Printing in backgrounds, either natural
or artificial. is not a difficult operation.
and can be successfully accomplished
after "a little experimenting.
The mode of operation consists in OBJ
literating any backgrounds of your figure
by the use of any Opaque color close 10
the figure or figures, and in printing them
background which is lighted from the
same side as the figure; and third, in cut
ting out masks of the figures signify
smaller than the originals.
Now. place your foreground negative
into the printing frame and your hgures
over it and close. Cover. outside OF the
glass of YOUR printing frame the figures
with your cut-out mask and expose TO the
light The degree of the intensity of the
to time. in order to get perfect harmony
of tone between figures and background.

! Germany is today the most danger
! Gus trade rival of the United States
: and the competitor for whom we have
most to fear" said Mr.. Ulysses D.
Eddy. president of the firm of Flint
Eddy & Co. one of the largest export
ing houses in the country, in answer to
an inquiry on this subject.
During the past decade German
manufacturers and exporters have
made determined efforts to capture
large share of the worlds trade, es-
pecially in markets that were newly
opening. In these efforts they have
been heartily aided by the German
government and they have certainly
made great progress
They have pushed their goods in
every way possible; by means of an
army of trained statesmen, by a careful
study of the demands of foreign mar
kets, and by special trade concessions
obtained through the influence of their
government. In all such markets as
South America. Africa and the Orient
the American exporter finds the Ger
man a vigorous and formidable rival.
Americans have been disposed to let
their goods make a way for themselves
in foreign markets. and it must be adj
mitted that they have done this sue
cessfully. But if the manufacturers
and exporters of the United States
cherish an ambition to secure first
place in the competition for the worlds
markets it will be necessary to bestir
themselves vigorously. The contest
which is to decide this question has be-
gun, and the next few years Will go far
toward deciding it. It Will not do to
leave the Germans out of calculation in
this struggle. They are the most pa
tient. aggressive. pushing seekers af-
ter new markets in the world at the
present time"
The view of this case which regards
Germany as our most dangerous trade
rival no doubt will surprise those who
have been congratulating themselves
on the fact that we are selling locomo-
tives and steel rails and clocks and
lawn mowers to England 1t is true.
however, that Germany has been doing
exactly the same thing. German cut
lery and American cutlery have met
edge to edge in the English market
German machinery has run opposition
to American machinery in Russia.
South Africa and Australia German
print cloths and boots and shoes nave
shared with American products in the
same lines the task of clothing the
South Africans. In every new field in
which the American exporter has gone
he has found the German making his
way.
This does not remove England as a
factor in the situation. England eX-
ports today about the same amount
that she did twenty years ago. The
increase in the worlds trade during
this period has been shared by other
nations. chiefly by Germany and the
United States.
The following table, showing in round
numbers the exports of each OF these
countries for 1880. 1880 and 1885. brings
this fact clearly TO view:

SUES FOR DIVORCE
Mrs. Fisher Says Her Hus-
band Has Another Wife.
SERIOUS CHARGES MADE
Court Restraints Husband From
Disposing of Property.

Mrs. Lottie NJ Fisher, wife Of James
W Fisher, supposing that they were
married November q. 1895, accuses her
husband of being bigamist. The Pc
tition alleging these facts was filed in the
district clerks Office yesterday. In pc
tition for divorce Mrs. Fisher claims that
she is entitled to one. for several reasons,
either Of which. if proven, will be apt
to release her from any further ooliga-
ton to Mr.. Fisher. she says in her pc
tition that they were SUPPOSED to have
been married in this city November g.
1895, and ever since they were supposed
to have lived as man and wife, during
which time she has been a dutiful wife.
There has been no children born TO them
since she and the defendant were sup
posed to have been married. She oiga-
mixes her husband b. s-atfng that at the
time of the supposed marriage with the
defendant he represented himself to her
as an unmarried man, he making her De
lieve that his former wife had been d.
vorced from him in november, 1881, and
she therefore thought him to be free 10
enter into a marriage contract with her,
which he did, although at that time, she
afterward learned, he was still married
to the other woman and rad not at any
time been divorced from her. Therefore
on December 10, 1898. she and the defen-
dant separated and have not since then
lived together as man and wife.
Mrs. Fisher also alleges that for
ions Z n
this separation the defendant had abused
her by using threatening, profane and in
decent language towards her. He also
compelled her to labor day and night, in
doors and out IN the field, in order to
support herself and her minor children;
and instead of working for their support
the defendant, she alleges, would spend
his time in riotous living and convivial
acts Mrs Fisher further claims that her
supposed husband persuaded her to sell
her house and lot and use the money to
purchase personal property, among
which was a horse and buggy, which he
still has possession Of and which she
asks the court to restrain him from sell
ing or disposing of until the action pend
ing is settled. She further asks that her
supposed husband be compelled to pay d
certain sum for alimony and the expenses
of the suit while the action is pending.
And finally Mrs. Fisher prays the court to
restore to her her former name Lottie
NJ. Buhrlage.
After the filing OF the above petition,
Judge Dale being out of town, Probate
Judge Haymaker issued an order enjoin-
ing James Fisher from in any manner
disposing of the horse and buggy referred
TO or taking the said property out Of the
Jurisdiction of the district court.
