Big German Firms Decide Not to
Exhibit at St. Louis.

New York, April 24.-German manufac-
turers and exporters, cables the Berlin
correspondent Of the Herald, propose to
boycott the St., Louis exposition. Out of
$50 large firms allied to the chamber of
commerce all but one have resolved to re-
frain from exhibiting and a report just re-
ceived from Solingen announces that all
the manufacturers and large industrial
firms belonging to the chamber of COM
merce Of this city have resolved
unanimously not to exhibit -.
Only few weeks ago German publish
ing houses agreed to boycott the St. Louis
exposition because of defective copyright
laws and the wholesale translation of
German publications in the United States,
held to be equivalent to literary piracy.
The firm Of Krupp Of Essen, which was
the largest German exhibitor at Chicago,
obstinately refuses to exhibit at st. Louis.
Similar resolutions have been carried by
numerous chambers of commerce., es-
pecially in the industrial regions of the
Rhine, Westphalia and Silesia. In Sax.
ony, it is learned, the feeling against ex-
hibiting at st. Louis is acute.
Once more the German financiers and
industrial interests are afflicted with Wis

AUTOMOBILES CARRY MAIL.
Their Efficiency Demonstrated b,
Trials Made In Michigan.

A series OF extensive experiments
with the automobile in the free rural
mail delivery service, which has Just
been completed in Lenawee county.
Michigan, seems to remove whatever
doubt has existed as to the practica-
bility of adopting motor vehicles on
routes which defy the horse.
These tests extended over a period
OF one month and the routes covered
varied in length from ten miles to
twenty nine miles. The weather was
at times very bad. the snow was often
from six to eight inches deep and
much ice was encountered.
Yet. Notwithstanding such adverse
conditions. the report of Postmaster
Priddy. who supervised the tests,
shows that on the twenty-nine mile
route the time required to make 1875
stops for delivery and fifty-nine pick
ups" during which approximately 500
pieces Of mail matter were handled,
was less than four hours, or about one
half that occupied by the carrier with
his horse. The amount of fuel con.
sumed was only nominal.
Postmaster Priddy says that the peo.
pie along the routes. whose attitude
toward the automobile heretofore had
not been friendly, came to regard the
machines with admiration. and he be-
lieves that all that is necessary to al
lay the sentiment OF unfriendliness to
ward automobiles now existing among
our rural citizens is to demonstrate
to them the machines immense advan
tage over their four.footed contempt
raries.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

sEcRET OF OLD AGE.
Nonasenarlans Are Of Medium Height
and Not saIdheaded

An extremely interesting experiment,
undertaken with view to solving, II
possible, the secret of old age, has been
completed by the Saxon government.
The life histories of seventy-three per-
sons over ninety years old. living in
Dresden, have been studied. Twenty
three are men, fifty are women. First
OF all, 1t was ascertained that the men
are or have been. married, and all are
sons of parents who lived to a great
age,
The majority of them are of medium
height Not one is bald, bat scarcely
any has tooth in his head, though
the gums are SO hard they chew ordi-
nary food. Few can read without spec
tacles, and the majority are deaf Only
one-fourth are still able to take any
exercise in the open air.
At home they are almost all busy
bodies. All the old people questioned
said they sleep eight or nine hours
daily. Out of seventy only five are of
serious disposition, the others be-
Ing gay and jolly. Some are even said
to have been wild In their youth. The
most unamiable and quarrelsome of
the lot is woman who, in her youth,
was ballet dancer. Nearly all hate
water. For cleansing purposes they
use 1t to wash their hands, but bath
is thing they have renounced.
One of the investigators. Mr. Wein-
ert. strict antl-alcoholist. was
grieved to find only a few In the num-
ber who are total abstainers. One old
woman, who comes OF good family,
thinks she cannot live unless she gets
drunk on an average of three times
week.
The oldest man in Dresden. who is
100 years of age, is total abstainer
except on his birthdays. when he likes
a little drink" lie gave up smoking
sixty years ago. Some of the other
old men smoke, but the women do not,
and they are in the majority. Fresh air
does not seem to be Indispensable to
longevity, for the rooms of these pa
triarchs are seldom ever aired. All
eat much and digest easily. All love
vegetables, fruit and sugar.-Chicago
