serious also.

Petty Prejudices of the Chinese.

In report to the state department re-
garding German exports to China, Wal
ter Schumann, United States consul in
MainZ, says: Great care must be eXer-
cized in the selection of the colors for the
packages. 1t may happen that a card
board box or paper wrapping which in
design and coloring would appeal to our
taste would seem abominable to the Chi
nese. and under no condition could they
be induced to buy it, even though they
fully appreciated the value of the ware
it inclosed. Merchants who wish to do
Il profitable business with China must al
ways take into account the tastes, super
stitiOns and religious ideas of the Chi
nese. They always detect symbols of
luck, wealth, etc, in the general makeup
OF articles and this will influence them in
buying"
