LEADS THE WORLD.
Splendid System of Commercial Edu- cation Maintained in Germany
 with Excellent Results.

Germany has led and is still leading the world in commercial education" says Consular Agent Harris, at Eiben- stock, in recent dispatch to the state department. The various commercial schools, he says, annually send forth large numbers of qualified young men to take up lucrative and important po- sitions in the business world. These young men, he continues, are selling in distant countries the products of the German empire, ranging from loco- motive to clothespin, invariably hay ing the advantage over their Amer ican and English competitors of being able to speak fluently the language of the country in which they attempt to sell their goods. Consular Agent liar. ris attributes the efficiency of German commercial travellers to ,he splendid ly conducted commercial institutes in Germany, and strongly recommends the establishment of similar colleges in the United States. The founding of a large commercial university at Ham, burg is in contemplation.

Unexpectedly Found After His Death in the Filth Amid Which
 He Had Lived.

William Bowers, a miser who owned s1Qo.oo0 worth of property in Yonkers and Chicago, died short time ago in St, Joseph's hospital in Yonkers be. cause he was weakened by the lack oi nourishment. Dr. J. T. Gibson was made administrator of his property and he and F. x. Donoghue found hat Bowers had lived in a miserable bed
 room in an apartment house. An old iron bedstead, broken chair, piece of wax candle and rags that had been used as bed clothing were all that was first discovered in the room.
 The doctor and Donoghue poked around among the rags with their walking sticks and to their astonish- ment found bank books on four New York banks, showing total deposits of S10,C00. The tenants of the house called on pr. Gibson to pay their rent, and, to his surprise, told him the old man had owned the house, which is worth $15,000. Subsequently pr. Gib- son found an old box in the basement of the house which contained deeds to property in Yonkers and Chicago. It is said all the property is valued at $1O0,o GOO and is free from incumbrance.

PRICES SOAR AT PRETORIA.
Economy Being Observed from High Omcials DOwn-Busy Time at
 American Consulate.

Late reports to the state department from Pretoria show that prices are soaring in that capital. Cab hire ranges from $2.5O per hour upward, and can scarcely be had at any figure. Econ omy is universally observed from the highest officials down. The foreign rep resentatives at the capital find that their salaries are totally insufficient to pay the ordinary expenses of living. The United States consulate is over taxed. Seven thousand letters were received in one week to be forwarded. Mail packages weighing in the aggre- gate 6H tons flowed into the consulate in the same time. Many small sums of money had to be disbursed among the British prisoners of war, and, al- together, the United States consul with his single assistant is fully employed.

TATTooED WITH PORTRAITS
Soldiers Have Portraits oi Their Sweethearts Pricked
 Into Their Backs.

The American soldiers leaving San Francisco for the Philippines are re. sponsible for an entirely new lovers idea, says an exchange of that city, They have the portraits of their sweet. hearts skillfully tattooed upon their backs. Prof" Jake Londella is the man who makes living by tattooing the faces of infatuated folks upon each others backs. Londella's bushes. brings him in contact with men, wom' en and children. Women are his best customers. Says he, regarding his pc culiar mission:
 During the war tattooed many Q soldiers photo upon his sweetheart'i arm. and the soldier often had her picture or name written by herself re. produced upon his breast. Many Brit ish soldiers have had the portraits of their wives or sweethearts tattooed on the back before going to South Africa, It is fad with the officers especially, I know one who has the portraits of two girls tattooed upon his breast with their names beneath them.
 You would be surprised to know how many women bare their necks and arms for the needles. It is becoming fad here just as it did in London years ago.
 "Yes, awoman is usually scared when she sees the instrument and ink, but she gives me less trouble than a man when she discovers that tattooing does not hurt much after all. Last week I spent half day working on the arm of a bride-to-be. Years ago she had mans name placed there. I had to ob- literate it by filling in with flower de- sign. She said it would never do for the groom to know about the other man.
