 gentleman who has travelled much and has a very large interest in Amer 1 ican export trade said, in conversation the other day, that the 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 of l color rests the failure of that manu- faeturer to succeed in export trade" A German eml lover of labor sa |: .I like American machines so far as their performance of their work is con- eerned, but they demoralize my men. They come here in sober colors 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 learp before he can attain the widest success in the new field of foreign trade. Do not send to Germany cata- iogues in the English language or to Japan things decorated in green, or to the isthmus of Panama anything with blue spots in it. It looks as if we need in this country commercial kinder garten in which such information as the above may be taught to those of a curious and inquiring mind for theit everlasting benefit and profit.

QuaItty Merits Reward.

The following Is copy Of a New
Years telegram wired to all the whole
sale Customers Of the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing Assn, Of st. Louis, Mo:
Predictions made in our last years
message are far surpassed by our trade
reports for 1892 We have reached the
Quality recognizes no competitor and In
stead Of yielding has made quantity its
commercial ally. We lead in both. Our
motto, Nothing is too good for the
American people,, has found prompt and
generous response everywhere, and in re-
turn we send with hearty good will
our wishes for Happy New Year to
you and all our friends.
-"Adolphus Busch, President"
The remarkable business showing Of
this concern fully warrants the above,
in-as-much as the fiscal reports of the
Internal Revenue Department show de-
crease of 912, 900 barrels in the consump-
ton Of beer against the preceding fiscal
year, which may, in a measure, be at
tributed to the war tax Of S1OO per bar
rel imposed on July 1, 1898. The output
of the Anheuser-Busc Brewing Assn,
being the largest in the world, should
naturally, have shown the greatest loss;
yet, their sales for the fiscal year just
ended exceed those Of any previous year
In the history of the Association
Their sales of bottled beer alone have
increased 30 4-10 per cent, which Is con-
elusive evidence that q good article finds
a. good market among an appreciattve
public, and that quality merits reward"

SAD CASE OF RESTITUTION.
Head of the Family Accused of Lar
ceny Near Minneapolis,

A case Of extreme restitution calling
for immediate relief came to the attention
Of the local authorities yesterday through
the arrest of J. G. Fillmore, In Minneapo-
lis. It developed that Fillmore lived at
202 Commercial street, this city, where
he has a wife and q family Of seven chill
dren, who are entirely without means.
The eldest of the, children is but fifteen
years Of age, while the youngest Is
babe Of eleven months. Secretary Hutch
ms, of the relief society, visited the FAM
lily yesterday, and will see that the men,
bers are comfortably cared for until Fill
n1ore's case is disposed Of.
Fillmore Is charged with the theft Of
load of wheat After his arrest he told
Of the condition of his family, Which led
to an investigation that clearly showed
the extremities Fillmore had depicted.
The family lives in dilapidated house
on the "Connemara patch" where the
eight members cluster about small cook
stove to keep warm. The only articles
of furniture in the place are two chairs.
A dry goods box serves for table. There
are no beds, the mother and the seven
children being compelled to sleep on the
haor.
The family had small supply Of food
and fuel on hand, but both would have
soon been exhausted in the absence of
the father, had not the case reached the
notice Of the authorities.
The Fillmore family came to this city
a month ago. They had lived in Mime
apolis short time previously, but only
recently came to Minnesota from Mon
tana. Fillmore owns two teams Of horses
and two wagons, with one OF which he

CARRY FARM. RISKS.
Mutual Hail and Fire Companies Are
-. Making Reports. ....-:a.


Insurance Commissioner o'Shauglines-
sy has returns from the first Of large
number Of farmers mutual hail and
fire insurance companies, giving a de-
tailed report of the business done dur
ing the year and the cost to the insured,
upon new blank which has but recently
been arranged by the department. -
On the basis Of the ttfrty-f1Ve reports
that have reached the insurance COMMITS
sfoner's office the total cost to the farmer
for carrying his Insurance in these mu-
tual companies does not reach one mill.
In very many cases the reports Indicate
that aside from the policy fee, paid when
the policy is delivered, the insurance has
been carried without cost to the farmer.
Of the thirty companies that have report
ed, fifteen report that no assessments
have been levied during the year just
closed.
Insurance Commissioner O'Shaughnes-
sy says he believe sthe mutual farmers
companies save to the people Of the state
fully quarter of a million dollars Der
year in premiums.
In some localities, where there have
been an unusual number of fires, the loss
es have made the rate of insurance high
er than enc MILL In fact, one company
reports per cent, another four mills, and
so on.
The new blanks prepared by the state
department are very complete that they
may serve instead of personal inspec-
ton, which the department Is unable to
make. because it has neither the funds
nor the officers to conduct the examina-
ton. Mr.. OShaughnessy regards the re-
port as a valuable substitute for an ex-
animation, and the questions asked and
the arrangement and grouping of the
company's assets, liabilities, and sum-
mary Of business done, very frequently
gives the company valuable suggestions
as to the form in which their books
should be kept.
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy has also received
few returns from hail companies doing
business on much the same basis, except
that the item of officers salaries foots up
considerably. It's often fatal for one
company to carry hall risks all in one
locality. Therefore the hail companies are
less local than the farmers mutuals, but
organized and the revenue derived in the
same way, namely that OF pro rata as
