MADE IN GERMANY.

No wonder the Germans succeed in commerce. They deserve to, and they make their own success. A newspa- per correspondent in Morocco recently wrote of coming across a white-faced, blonde, bearded man, dressed in full Moorish costume, who was talking Arabic and, as was later revealed ''oould recite the Koran from begin ming to end" This tow-headed and cotton -sheeted curiosity was none oth- CT than a representative of certain German commercial organizations in disguise. He was engaged in gather ing information for his employers to use in developing their trade among the Moors. The correspondent learn ed that, masquerading as a Moor. he had traveled through all the coast towns and inland clear to Fez.

NO GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

The "Anti-Funeral Lie Society," is one of the freaks of the West, It con- tends that only the truth should be spoken of the dead, and desires the sup- port of all those who will subscribe to the request that when they die the truth concerning their moral and re- ligious condition shall be told at their funeral. Each person is invited to fill out certificate as to his saved or unsaved state, and if he has received salvation, to. affirm specifically when, where and how he was saved. It's cir cular says: We wish to raise a warn- ing cry against the gross deception that is being carried lon everywhere by Satan and his ministers, at funerals, preaching men and women into heav- len who never were converted or born again, and never even professed to be. And many who do profess. it is evident to all they are not"
 But how can the truth be told about mans moral and religious condition Frequently he doesn't know it himself and those who think they know il don't It may be admitted that ofter there is exaggeration of a mans good
 qualities after he is dead, but that i'

account of the danger from strikes

when eXposeu to the air. These fac
