A EUROPEAN NEED.
Most OF the Countries Are Lacking
In Respect of Chambers of
Commerce.

The German chamber of commerce in
Brussels, Belgium, in its annual report,
lately published, has reproduced and in
dorsed treatise on the above subject.
written by Dr. H. Roder, German
writer on economics, writes United
States Deputy Consul General Hanauer.
from Frankfort, Germany. He says:
Germany, which stands next to Great
Britain as the greatest exporting coun-
try in articles of manufacture, is not
properly represented abroad, lacking for
its commercial interests in foreign cOun-
tries those institutions emanating from
the home government which furnish in
formation to the German merchant at
home, which show him new OppOrtu-
mites in foreign markets, and connect
him with other nations in amicable trade
relations.
Though all political parties in Ger
many agree that chambers of commerce
abroad are useful, yet the reichstag ina
tional legislature) has not yet given
practical aid to the project OF establish
ing them.
Austria, of all nations, was first in
recognizing the utility of chambers of
commerce, and as early as 1870 estab-
lished a chamber of commerce at Con-
stantinople. The stimulus given there
by to Austrian exports in levantine
countries has caused the Austrian
reichsrath Qegislature) to establish
more of these institutions abroad.
Great Britain has 100 chambers of
commerce in her colonies, and 30 in
foreign countries. France has 20, and
purposes to create additional ones in
South America and eastern Asia. Hol-
land has seven, Spain, three; Italy and
Belgium, each two; Russia has one in
Paris, and a commercial embassy in
Morocco, and the United States has four
"As early as 1886 the German govern
ment was petitioned by So chambers Of
commerce and manufacturers associa-
tions to establish such institutions
abroad. Similar petitions have been in
troduced since. but were rejected by the
government, which pointed to the con-
sular representatives and the few COM
mercial attaches in service as sufficient
for aid to Germany's export trade"

Rouen-American Trade.

It is interesting to note the increased
activity of Rouen trade relations with
the United States BY the modest eff
forts Of this consulate American goods
are becoming more generally knownsin
this district. There has been decided
augmentation of the sale of American
dried fruits of late. Refrigerators, ice
cream churns and oil stoves are finding
sales. The following articles cannot
be found in this city of more than $780,
900 inhabitants: Chewing gum, canned
oysters, grits, laundry machinery, mo-
lasses, canned corn, sweet potatoes, rub
Der stamps, barber chairs, spring win
dow shades and lamps. The exports
from this district to the United States
have trebled within the last two years.
They were for the last four quarters, re-
spectively, $54,025, $75,6O9, &s3, $50 and
$685. 34 The increase is mostly in hat

determined figure she had left on
shore-the voyage didn't promise to
be particularly cheerful.
With the morning and a sunlit sea
Elizabeth walked the deck unmindful
of the admiring glances that followed
her. A man got up from steamer
chair and made his way largely and
broadly towards her, holding out his
hand.
She caught her breath in little
gasp. In hours of self-torture she had
pictured this possible meeting. Would
her pride carry her through it or would
she burst into tears do, she knew not
what dreadful thing? She had gone
red at his name, had turned white at
his footstep.
With a swift marshaling of her
forces she went forward to meet him.
Again his voice was in her ear, his
hand touched hers, and 10! the torture.
the agony, the love had quietly and
TRANQUILITY walked out of her heart.
The eyes she lifted to his were free
eyes. After a few words that one
speaks to the veriest acquaintance she
foated on, the knowledge of her free
dom sweeping to the Utmost hooks and
crannies of her being. And suddenly
her heart beat up in a great wave of
tenderness about quiet, determined
figure she had left on a distant shore
the journey promised to be gloriously
intoxicating.
The seas like stagecoach for find
ing out disagreeable things about peo-
pie. Elizabeth discovered unknown
traits in her old lover. Every passing
hour she contrasted him with Hunt.
The Other. as she called him, was mar
ried and bearish to his wife, Hunt
would be polite even If he were sea-
sick; the Other wasn't nice to the chill
dren on deck; Hunt adored them; he

Problem Before a Court.

During the severe earthquake in Guate-
mala, April 10, 1902, certain block of
buildings was destroyed. 1t was insured
against fire, but not, as was stipulated
In the policy, against fire occasioned by
an earthquake, and in this case the fire
which destroyed the buildings and the
owners of the property claimed that its
destruction was caused by the over
throwing of a lamp Immediately before
the earth tremors, and thus in the end
the legal decision was made to hinge on
the exact time when various cities on the
line of movement were wrecked. Timing
an earthquake by court decision is
novelty.

the waiter, the gamins that BACKED
Hunts boots worshiped him. Every
hour that carried her further from
Hunt made him dearer to her.
When the boat got in Elizabeth was
on deck, her hair blowing. How the
boat crept, and she wanted to send a
telegram-just to say that she was
safe
Among the elbowing, pushing crowd
on the wharf Elizabeth saw Hunt and
got her breath in hysterical little gasps.
She was her old audacious brilliant self
when she greeted him.
He gathered her hands in his and be-
gan, Elizabeth, I" CHunt had formed
the proposal habit.)
With a soft happy little laugh she
stopped him right in the middle of the
fifteenth and said, "Of course you do.
So do IL found it out on this voyage.
there's nothing like sea trip for find
ing out things. Now, come on; don't
let ali these people know about it."
1t was just then that the Other. pilot
ing his meek little wife along, ran into
Hunt. Hunt should have gone to his
knees to him then and there. Instead
he said, That's a very pompous, dis
agreeable fellow, Bess. Somehow l
want to wiring his neck"
Bess smiled adorably. She didn't.
The Other hurried his wife on and
this is what he grumbled; for he had
seen that smile:
That's the fellow we left in Charles
ton. Wonder what's delayed the cere-
mony-for anybody can see it's the
same old story of two fools in the
Eden garden. Ughm! Nothing like it.
Pity it never lasts"

MEXICAN FOOD INSPECTION.
4. Institute to BE Established 10,
the Analytical Examination
of Products.

The Mexican government has author
lied Lie. Arturo Paz to organize COM
pany for the purpose of establishing and
operating an institute to be known as
the Control Quimico International, to
which manufacturers and other persons
may submit food and medicinal and
other products for analytical examina-
lions, reports w. w. Canada, American
consul at Veracruz.
The institute will issue guaranty
stamps, which may be affixed to all
products, samples of which have pre-
viously been analysed and will serve to
assure the public that such products are
pure and unadulterated and as repre-
sented to be by the manufacturer. The
results of all analytical examinations
are to be published in the official organ
of the institute.
This certificate in no case implies that
the government guarantees the quality
of any article, nor does it exempt deal
ers and manufacturers from having to
submit samples of their goods for ex-
animation to the board of health, its
agents. or to any other competent au-
thority, if it shall be deemed expedient
to make such examination.
Even after certificate has been is
sued, the institute retains the right to
reexamine such products at any time.
and il it should be found that they
are not as originally submitted the GER
tiflcate may be withdrawn and reasons
for such withdrawal published in the
official paper of the company. In no
case shall the institute issue certificates
unless analysis has been previously
made.
A legal department will be added, to
which judicial power of attorney may
be given to anyone DESTROYS of prose-
cutting dealers or manufacturers for
selling fraudulent or adulterated ar
ticles
The company's business will be under
the control of the board of health. An
inspector, at 5000 monthly-to be paid
by the institute-will be appointed by
the government. The company agrees
to report to the board of health any case
of dangerous adulteration that may
come to it's notice and all analytical ex-
aminations shall be free to the govern
ment
This privilege is to be in force for the
term of ten years; rules and regulations
to be prescribed by the government.

gentlemen in his own house-a rare

conjugal love must exist in Japan, it

it vulgar to exhibit emotion of any
