Berlin, June ia school of good man.
ners for floor walkers and sales people
has been established in Germany by the
Association of Shopkeepers. It is con-
sidered that sales men and women should
learn not only the intricacies Of their
respective trades, but also the way to
behave with customers, how to talk
nicely and agreeably. how TO bow grace
fully, how 10 treat an ill-tempered Gus
toner, and how TO conduct an animated
conversation without undue familiarity.
The fundamental idea of the new school
IS 10 improve business. That is shown
by the fact that the cost Of conducting
it is borne by the shopkeepers them
selves, who are convinced that well
trained and polite sslespeople can sell
more goods 10 customers than men and
women who have received no special IN
stTuction.
Glasses of the new school are TO be held

keepers rooms for the school free of
cost, thus imparting an official charac-

Brazilian Vessel Turns Loose TWEEN
ty-three Guns Together.

Rio de Janeiro. June 1S-In the official
trials Of the Brazilian battle ship Sac
Paulo. carried out by the Brazilian com
mission which came to England TO take
over the vessel from the English con-
structors, the record broadside has been
fred. Ten twelve-inch guns and eleven
41-inch guns were discharged simulta-
neously.
The weight Of metal fired in this saIvo
was just over 1900 pounds, or four and
one-half tons. The force developed would
have been sufficient to lift the Sac Paulo
thirty feet into the air. Severe though
the shock was, the ship was In no way
damaged.
II is asserted that no other battleship
yet completed, except the sister of the
Sac Paulo, the Minas Geraes, can fire
such brOadside. In the latest British
dreadnoughts now in service the broad
side is delivered by eight instead of ten
twelve-inCh guns and thirteen four-lnch
weapons. The number of weapons is the
same, but the weight of metal is very

is not going TO be restored. after all. and

dieval monuments is thus saved for a
time. The Diet Of Baden has once more
rejected the grand ducal governments
proposals to rebuild the schloss.
-Four years ago. in view Of the decay
ing state. the government appointed
commission to examine the ruins and
suggested the expenditure of $4,000 on
rebuilding the facade Of the main or So
called Otto Heinrich building. Popular
opinion as represented IN the Diet has
always been opposed TO any tampering
with the scholss and is satisfied that the
genuine ruins are preferable TO a con-
struction OF a mixed ancient and modern
character.
