their own people, who use Intelligent
and thorough methods to introduce
their goods and make them popular
They give long credits; they are
scrupulously careful to keep all prom
ises: they change the style OF articles
TO comply with tne local needs or
tastes: they pack their goods with inc
greatest care and in every other way
study the peculiarities OF the markets
and adapt their merchandise TO then.
That is the secret OF the enormous
increase of the exports OF manufac-
tured merchandise from Germany,
and, by reason of those methods, Ger.
man exporters are obtaining control
of the most important markets In ey-
cry country. You find them every
where; in the interior OF China: in
the mountains of Bolivia; on the PAM
pas of Patagonia in South Africa and
Australia, and every one who is famil-
lar with the jobbing trade of New
York knows how large share of that
they control. During the last ten
years they nave made extraordinary
advances in China. In 1890 there was
scarcely German house in the EN-
pire, except in the larger ports. To-
day there is not Chinese city in
which foreigners are allowed to trade,
without one or more enterprising and
| aggressive German jobbing houses.

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

the recent action of the French
chamber of deputies in passing a
measure which provides for an old age
pension for workingmen who have
passed the age of 65 years, has caused
renewed interest to be taken in the
project of old age pensions. says the
Duluth News-Tribune. 1t is form OF
paternalism or socialism which has
made considerable advance In various
sections of the old world. 1t is one OF
the items in the program OF the LABOR
lite party. which has half hundred
members In the present English par
lament. Germany has had since 1853
system of old age pensions for sep
tuagenarians, annual payments rang
ing in amount from about S25 to about
$57. Sweden, Iceland, Finland, Bel
GUM, Austria, Roumania have all re.
cognized this principle, in some cas.s
making 1t compulsory in the form OF
state insurance: in others, voluntary.
The highest government pensions for
old age are probably those of New
Zealand-$90 year.
The people OF the United States
have never manifested any particular
desire for old age pensions, yet in
modified forms the system has made
considerable headway here. The ma.
tional government pensions its war
veterans and retires its officers on
half pay, and the president recon-
mends a pension for the life saving
service. Some of the large cities re-
tire their policemen, school teachers
and firemen on half pay. Many rail
roads have provided for old age pen
slons, notably the Pennsylvania, IL
linols Central, Union Pacific, Philadel-
phia a. Reading and the Metropolitan
system in New York. Pensions are
also granted by the Consolidated Gas
company OF New York, the STANDARD
OIL and Carnegie mills at Pittsburg.

UNHAPPY 6ERVIA.
%

Unhappy Is the story that comes
from Servia. where king lives In
rear such as even the czar can mt
comprehend. In Russia the people
who are loyal at least feel that their
ruler IL entitled to his throne. They
admit that he is weakling. They
groan under their burdens. But they
do not question the divine right of
Nicholas to rule. But In Seryia there
Is hatred and contempt for the man
who won his throne by as foul n mur.
der as ever disgraced land, The
stain does not wipe out.
King Peter surrounded himself with
those whose hands are red with blood
they have been given the responsible
positions, and the Servian monarch
knows with knowledge that must
haunt him, that the fate of his prede.
cessor may at any moment be his
tate. To this day King Peter is nor
recognized as a king by the United
States. Great Britain. Holland. Italy
and Greece, because he mas not had
me courage or power to drive from
his court the regicides who murdered
and his queen. Peter is re.
sarded as puppet occupant OF
hrone.
