HOW COLOR AFFECTS INDUSTRY
One Reason Why American Machinery
 Is Not More PopAIar.

A gentleman who has travelled much and has a very large interest in Amer ican export trade said, in conversation the other day, that tae principal draw back to wider extension of American commerce in certain parts of the world Is that manufacturers in the United States do not sufficiently study the wants, the customs and the tastes of their prospective customers. For ex- ample" he said, a certain American firm sent some electrical goods, which were decorated in green, to Japan. They did not sell any. No Japanese would bring such things into his house; it would mean an invitation to the evil deities. Green is an evil color in Japan. What a Japanese wants is red things Upon this simple matter ot color rests the failure of that manu- faeturer to succeed in export trade" A German emI lover of labor sa E: T like American machines so far as their performance of their work is con- cerned, but they demoralize my men. They come here in sober colofs of paint and with no bright parts. The men who attend the machines do not have any brass to keep clean or any surfaces to rub, and they get lazy The German workman needs to be kept busy with things of this sort" Here, now, are some practical instances of what the American manufacturer must learD before he can attain the widest success in the new field of foreign trade. Do not send to Germany eata- 1ogues in the English language or to Japan things decorated in green, or to the isthmus of Panama anything with blue spots ill it. It looks as if we need in this country a commercial kinder garten in which such information as the above may be taught to those of curious and inquirtag mind for theit everlasting benefit aaa profit.

 @Cnls tn naae does. republication exist in the countries of South Am erica, says 3 southern business man who recently returned from tour ot tue Latin-Amerfcan countries. ssThe Latin republics are the worst apologies for republics in the entire calendar of free states. Affairs in these republics are becoming better of late, but 1t is the simplest thing in the world to pro- yoke a revolution. Ne are all familiar with the changes of goyernment. that have taken place within the last de- eade, but few understand how easy it has been. and still is in some of these republics, to precipitate rebellion, turn ruler out of office, upset gov, ernment. and create general anarchy l was in one Of these republics some years ago. when a revolution, or rather an attempt at revolution, occurred, for It was not a genuine success. was with friend, about to go to breakfast when party of about twenty men ap- peared in the street along which we were passing. About the same number of men came into sight from an op~ posite direction and the fun began. Every man had cloak over his shoul- ders, though the weather was oppres- siVely warm, ana when they sighted each other the cloaks were thrown aside and more brass medals. rainbow tinted ribbons, red sashes and other gorgeous insignia of something or oth- CT l never saw. They began firing at each other, and soon the street was filled with multitude of troops and about an equal number of revolution ists. The government troops dispersed the rebels on this occasion, and when we left in the afternoon for our respec. tive locations, the same national flags that were flying at sunrise were stik hanging at their s.affs. It was on this occasion a bloodless and futile revolu. tion, and people went about their bust, ness on the next day with the same composure and contempt for one party or the other as they had on the day before the opera bouffe rebellion"

 Recent antarctic discoveries by the Belgian expedition, are described tn the Century for January by Mr Fred brick A. Cock of Brooklyn. whose arti- eie is very fully illustrated.

UNLICENSED DoGs.-Of the 1000 and
more dogs in Alexandria only 439 are
now licensed. 1t Is said that there is
not block 10 this city but where can
be found a halt dozen or more unli-
caused dogs. This state OF affairs is
not confined to those in humble circum-
stances, for in their means they have
paid for their pets to a greater extent
than their well-to do neighbor. The
dereIcts walk the streets with two or
more dogs at their heels, have large dogs
stretched across the sidewalks to the
annoyance of the pedestrian, and their
little terrier whose early morning bark
adds to the enjoyment of the sick and
we'll. For several years past the May
orissys he has suggested to the police
men that they request dog owners to
obtain the required license, but that as
his desire to save the citizens trouble
or foe had been misunderstood he
will after July 10 enforce this law.

T0-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS

The Democratic National Convention.
Kansas City, Mo-, June 90. With
the opening of the convention onlv O
few days away, little is known of the
programme. 1t is not known who
Will be temporary and permanent off,
Gers OF the gathering but this may be
cleared up when the subcommittee of
the national committee meets here to-
morrow. An effort will be made to
have the preliminary business occupy
the first day and have the nomination
come on the following day. The dem
ocrats who have arrived are at sea on
the vice presidential question. Suffers
name Is frequently heard but his boom
is not yet big one. Shiveley, of H.
diana, has many friends here and an
occasional good word can be heard for
Towne, of Minnesota, whom the popu-
lists want the democrats to endorse.
Senator David B. Hill, Of New York,
has few followers, as it ia thought
his financial views are too much at va.
riapce with those Of of Bryan. There
may be little trouble over the plat
form but this is hardly possible. The
uIterances of the party at Chicago, in
1896. will be reaffrmed and there will
he strong anti-imperialism and anti
trust planks.
l. is now claimed that Richard Croker
will not visit Bryan al Lincoln on his
way to Kansas City. The Tammsny
dictator according to the latest pro-
grsmme will arrive Sunday morning,
accompanied by ex-senator Murphy
and several other Tanmany leaders.
Judge Augustus Van Wyck, of New
York, late democratic candidate for
Governor of that State, and delegate
at large to the convention, arrived to-
day. Judge Van Wyck said: 81 be-
lieve Delaware. Maryland, West Vir-
GINA and Kentucky will return to the
democratic fold this year." Judge
Van Wyck is opposed to a specific dec
laration in favor of 16 to /. in the plat
form.
General Corser, of Minnesota, Secre-
tiry and Treasurer of the silver re-
publicans, is here managing Charles A.
Towne's affairs. w. J. Albeit, man.
ager of the press bureau of the demo-
cratic committee, says Towoe will 90
into the democratic convention with
more voters than anybody.
The friends Of Bryan are opposed to
the proposed plan to have Bryan Domi-
mated for President on July All during
great demonstration, and then adopt
the platform on which he is TO stand at
forwards. 1t Is feared by those close to
Bryan that if he is nominated before
the platform is adopted al effort will be
made to form platform which would
stultify the candidate for President.
G.. A. Williams, Of Massachusetts, ar.
rived today. He says that all talk of
the nomination of David B. Hill for
Vice President is nonsense.
