Cost of Living in Germany.

From all parts of Germany sharp ad-
vances in the prices of the necessities of
life, especially in foodstuffs and in fod-
der for live stock. are reported. The
latter have been noticeable during the
last few weeks, and are due, in a meas
ure at least, to the unsatisfactory crops
of the past year. The result is a strong
upward movement in the price of all
foodstuffs. Meat is the only exception. 1t
shows slight tendency to lower prices.
but is still above the figures of two years
ago, and the slightly lower prices of to-
day are perhaps due to the constant
agitations for cheaper meat. which have
continued uninterruptedly for two years
past. In some instances munic;oalities
have gone into the butchering business
and have sold directly to the people,
while in many places meat prices have
been fixed by municipal enactment.
Prices of milk, butter, and other dairy
products have advanced in sympathy
with the price of fodder

The Land of Paradox.

China is the land of paradox. If it is
an absolute, despotic monarchy, it is also
very Democratic country, with its self
made men, its powerful public opinion.
and a states rights" question of its
own. 1t is one of the most corrupt of
nations; on the other hand the standard
of personal and commercial honesty is
probably higher in China than in any
other country in the world, says Success
Magazine.
Woman, in China, is made to serve:
her status is so low that it would be a
dlscourtesy even to ask man if he has
daughter; yet the ablest rule China has
had in many centuries is woman.
1t is land where women wear socks
and trousers and the men wear stockings
and robes; where a man shakes his own
hand, not yours; where white. not black,
is a sign of mourning; where the com
pass points south, not north; where
books are read backward, not forward !:
where names and titles are put in re-
verse order, as in our directories Theo-
dore Roosevelt would be Roosevelt Theo-
dore, in China Uncle Sam would be Sam
Uncle; where fractions are written up
side down, as S-5, not 5-S; where a
bride walls bitterly at her wedding. and
man laughs when he tells you of his
mothers death.

The trouble is probably due not TO

the demand incident to the decline in

withstandiHg the fact that automobiles

Germany, there has been also a tremeil-

IN vehicles WAS due largely to promising
general conditions, fact that is made
clearer by the statement that orders
from America, which had been keeping
a number of automobile cab manulac-
turers busy, have fallen away in a dis
couraging manner.
Automobiles are expensive, and when

A Novel Scheme.

A quick lunch restaurant keeper in
uptown New York has adopted novel
scheme to attract customers. In his win
dow is a yellow sign bearing this notice:
"A firm in Richmond, Va, is paying 10
cents for 1902 pennies. | will pay Is
cents for 1902 pennies brought to my
shop. These pennies contain gold
dropped in the melting pot at the mint
by mistake" Everyone who passes the
store halts and, after reading the sign.
begins a search of his pockets for the
i-cent pieces bearing the magic date
Newsboys, whose store of coppers ran
from 10 TO so in some cases. hurriedly
inspected their possessions, while willy
ones with no pennies bought papers from
those who had not seen the sign. hoping
thereby to obtain lucky piece. But
not one of them could find 1902 cent.
4 man who thought the matter worth
investigating called up the sub-treasury
and what they told him he did not state,
but his expression plainly said ''stung."
The restaurant cashier admits THAI she
has not had to redeem any.
