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

Is Not More Popular.
 A gentleman who has travelled much and has very large interest in Amer iean export trade said, in conversation the other day, that the principal draw back to a 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 i'll 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 q Japanese wants is red things. Upon this simple matter ot color rests the failure Of that manu- facturer to succeed in export trade" 4 German employer of labor sa l: "I like American machines so far as their performance of their work is con- eerned. but they demoralize my men. ! paint and with no bright parts. The men who attend the machines do not have any brass to keep clean or any surfaces 10 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 learn before he can attain the widest success in the new field of foreign trade. Do not send to Germanay cata- 1ogues in the English language or to Japan things decorated in green, or to the isthmus of Panama anything with blue spots in it.

In the case of strong smell ing salts. one should never hold the bottle for any length of time close tc she nostrils of an unconscious person but pass it to and fro at some little distance from the face Perhaps the safest way is to hold the cork or stop per of the bottle near the patient nostrils, as that will answer all pur. poses and prevent injurious effects
 The Flight of Empress EugenIs.
 The true story of the flight of the Empress Eugenie from the Tuilleries will soon be publieh 7d It is now in the form Of a manuscript left by Dr. T. w. Evans, the American dentist, who accompanied the Empress in her flight to England. Dr. Crane, who aided Dr Evans in protecting Eugenie and aeeelerating her flight. says he only awaits 8 decision of the court be- fore publishing this contribution to French history. The reason why it was not published during Dr. Evans life time is because it deals hard blows at those who serted the Empress in her hour Of trial. Now that most of the chief actors in the drama of 1870 have passed away. the venerable ex-Empress has exp: .>sed the wish that this inter- i esting manuscript be published.
