 The Emperor of Germany has been very' worried recently. An ill-advised young man, Prince Alexander of Hoh- enlohe- -Schillingsfurst. has published the memoirs of his father, the late Inn perial Chancellor, which made public facts about the private life of German rulers, and statesmen and home and foreign politics.
 As a result of the Kaiser's IndiEna- tion. Prince Alexander has rendered to the Imperial Statthalter of Alsace- Lorraine his resignation of the post of president of the district of Upper Al' sace.

Braall,s Commercial Relations.

The Reader.
 England has for years supplied the markets of Brazil and the money for her Improvements, but the Englishman is lnsular and, however trustworthy, he seldom swerves from his convic- tion that whatever is good enough for him is good enough for the rest of mankind. The German is pressing the Englishman hard in South America, but I don't think, in the long run, he will control the market. The German is shrewd, conclliatory, aggressive. but he is a bureaucrat; he Is sometimes snobbishIy persistent in demanding re- cognitIon for his imperialism, and he is, I regret to. say, not free from the fault; of offering an initiated article, or of trying to displace his competitor by clever substitution. The (North) American is commercially just enter ing the field, yet we are already looked on with certain suspicion because the purchaser has occasionally been cheated or compelled to take what he had ordered. It is only by study Ing trade conditions and treating the purchaser with scrupulous and exact honesty that we can secure and retain their custom.

Christians Flowers in Three Weeks. Aln. E C E Ln naanrak Ea-aaa

Mrs. F. c. F., in December Garden
 Magazine.
 Quite late last fall, when the price had been reduced to the low figure of ten cents a dozen, invested twenty cents in narcissus (Paper White) bulbs. They were not planted until in the first of December, when some stones were put in the dishes, the bulbs set in. and water poured on them. Even the usual precaution of starting them in the dark was not taken. In just three weeks the first blossom burst from the stalk of buds, and one single stalk had eleven pure white blossoms, almost overpowering with their frag rance. Some grew more slowly than the others and on January 8, one G. inch dish having ten bulbs had six stalks of expanded blossoms and two others yet to open.
 The Chinese lily bulbs which I got at the same time had scarcely blos- somed. This winter I shall start ear Her and make several plantings, so as to lengthen the enjoyment. l think 1t Is the greatest return for the money l ever received.
