In regard to forms and ceremonies of
everyday life. such as the taking of of
hats, bowling to strangers. etc, the Ger
man is much more particular than the
English, who. because of their omission
to say Good morning on entering a
public room, or to bow when taking a
seat at a hotel dinner table, are some
times described by chauviEist Germans as
devoid of manners. To what lengths this
punctiliousness may run in official circles
is illustrated by the following story.
1t appears that at Spandau. the fortress
town, not far from Berlin, where Prus-
sia's war treasures of coin are stored for
future use. If needed, the registrar Is OBJ
viously of opinion that persons duly
united in wedlock must mend their ways
after matrimony in regard to their cloth
not. a workingman recently went to his
office to notify the birth of child. The
official in question refused to accept the
report on the ground that the workman
was in his working attire. and not in Sun
day black, The laborer naturally did not
see the thing from the same point of view.
Time being money to him, 1t was obvi
ously loss of money to him to be obliged
to go to the registrar during his hours
of work to perform this citizen duty, and
he did not see why he should lose more
by having to deck himself out in his Sun
day clothes for an hour in the midst of
his mornings work. He accordingly did
not go again to the registrar.
The police retorted by fining him 3 shil-
lings. He appealed to the courts, but the
judge took the view of the official, and he
has had to pay his money. At Spandau.
therefore, fathers have to put on their best
clothes when they report the birth of
their children, on the other hand, Ii is
said that an officer of the army always
goes in his undress working" costume.
and not in full-dress with helmet etc.
The operatives cannot comprehend the
registrars distinction. nor the decision
of the magistrate.

Up till 1898 the men of Norway who
were over twenty-five years of age en-
joyed universal suffrage for national af-
fairs. but taxpayers and ratepayers only
were allowed to vote In municipal af-
fairs. This was queer sort Of an ar
rangement. Norway is divided into &C.
clesiastical parishes, which are the vot-
ing districts as in England. and are gov
erned in a similar way. The Norwegian
constitution of 1914, based upon the prin-
ciple OF popular elf-government. declared
these municipalities completely independ-
ent in the management of their own af-
fairs, placing the administrative author-
ity. with the power of taxation and the
disbursement of the revenues. in the
hands of the taxpayers and householders.
so that they could not be coerced by the
national Government, If there ever was
any disposition in that direction.
This authority IS exercised through a
council called a bystyre. composed of
from twelve to forty-eight members. ac-
cording to the population of the parish.
who are elected for terms of three years
and serve gratuitously. The council elects
from its own number ID chairman, who Is
the head of the whole municipal organi-
zation. and is known as an ordforer. He
corresponds to the German burgomaster
and the mayor of the American city.

An attempt is to be made by the Brit
ish authorities in Uganda to utilize the
zebra for transport purposes in that coun-
try. 1t is contended that the characters
tics of the animal render II specially suit
ed to this district, since it is naturally
immune against the ravages of the tsetse
fly and horse sickness. The plan suggest
ed is the domestication of the adult ami
NAL The young zebra cannot be reared
apart from its mother. and IL is consid-
cred that If the animal were accustomed
to the presence of man while very young
in the course Of few years a large sup
ply of Zebras will be available for work.
The Norwegian Storthing recently
passed a bill which, having received royal
sanction. constitutes Il serious menace to
property owners in that country. The
bill prov ides for an extension of the mu-
nicipal suffrage granting to non-taxpay-
ers the right to vote. Under existing
laws the municipal governments are au-
iEoriZed to levy q limited tax on real es-
tate and net capital. besides unlimited
tax ON income. When the majority OF
the taXpaying citizens have been voted
out of the municipal councils throughout
the country the non-taxpayers will have
1t in their power to levy taxes and apply
the funds thus raised practically as they
see hit.

The "Bourse Gazette" makes itself re-
sponsible for the statement that Austria
is strenuously seeking to conclude mill
tary convention with Roumania.
Austria-Hungary is capable, of course,
in the opinion of Russian journals, of any
and every kind OF intrigue and machina-
tion in order to buttress herself as strong
ly as possible against the debacle which
threatens to shatter into many of its
original and chief component national ele-
ments the conglomerate fabric of the
dual monarchy when the ruling hand of
Franz Josef has been finally removed
from the States helm.
After some Jeering observations upon
Roumania's vacillating attitude during
recent years. the ''Bourse Gazette" recalls
the fact that on his visit to the Russian
Court in 1898 King Charles. in speech at
an imperial banquet in Peterhof. de-
clared that it would be his constant en-
deavor to draw more closely the bond of
friendship between his country and the
all-powerful Russian Empire. The Russo
Rouma nian bond has been grievously re-
laxed since that royal utterance was cor
daily applauded at Peterhof.

The ascent of Mount Vesuvius in an au-
tomobile is feat which has lately been
accomplished for the first time. prob
ably, by Count Carl Schonborn, Secretary
of the Austrian Auton obile Club. This
performance, while not particularly dam
gerous, requires considerable skill and
sangfroid to carry out. 1t was upon his
wedding trip that Count Schonborn had
the idea of making the ascent with his
young wife. The couple proceeded first
to Rome, where the marriage took place.
to Frascati, then to Naples, and a few
days later, after having carefully deter
mined their route in advance, they made
the ascension to the upper crater, sit
uated at 3 100 feet altitude. In spite of the
complete absence of practicable route.

The annual report of the commercial
museum" an Austrian official institution
for the information of manufacturers and
exporters. dwells upon the steady increase
of the enquiries as to the best sources
of supply for new material and new mar
kets for native products. The consular
reports are being used to far greater ex-
tent than ever before. The institution
takes care that all suggestions which may
be of use to foreign competitors are with
held from publication and sent direct un-
der cover to the manufacturers and other
native subscribers. The exhibitions of
samples of articles suitable for export to
China and South and Central Africa also
proved very useful There has also been
a considerable increase of enquiries from
abroad as to Austrian manufactures.
