Uuul recently Germany has mOnOp-
olized, or nearly so at least, the trade
OF the world IN pictorial postal cards.
plain or colored. but now the Ger
mans are unable TO make sales except
at extraordinarily low prices. which
scarcely leaves any profit
This tremendous price diminution
is attributed TO the considerable ad-
vancement OF the import duties of
Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and the
United States. The Germans complain
that the duties in this country are so
high that the German manufactures
work with a profit only IL they estab-
fish branch factories in the United
States.
II is said that in some instances
this will be done. That was the in
tention OF the men who framed the
tariff law-to have the goods manu-
featured at home. Even II any num-
Der OF new factories are started, the
men already engaged in the business
will have a chance to compete. which
was impossible under former condi-
tons.
Another thing, American labor Will
be employed and business OF all kinds
stimulated to the extent of the new
payroll, the food producers being the
greatest gamers. AS a matter OF fact
however, it is to be doubted II many
German factories are started. the ef-
feet of the new tariff law being to in
crease the business OF the American
manufacturers.
While the plant of the German
manufacturers is fresh in mind. 1t is
interesting TO note that the picture
postal card business in the United
States is thriving as never before. as
the following from the New York
Tribune bears testimony;
According 10 a statement OF a dealer
in picture postal cards, the Jew
ish New Year Is now second in
importance in that line OF bust
ness. and the sales for that sea
son are eclipsed in quantity only
by the Christmas card sales. Al
Easter and Thanksgi time
much business is done in this
line, but, said the dealer, 1t
cannot be compared with the He
brew New Year demand. We
handle about twenty sets, and
each OF these has from twelve to
twenty designs.
The queer thing about the cards is
that most OF them go TO Europe
and bring the government two
cents each. There seems 10 be
style in these goods as well as
there is in wearing apparel. Last
year we had one series OF pOr-
traits of which the Roosevelt
card sold best and another Sc
ries with Zionistic subjects Both
these sets are no longer for sale,
and the cards most in demand
bear illustrations from the Bible
and all are Inscribed Happy

The young nephew had come in

days were over to get a peek at
some of the sights of the great city.
Uncle was busy at the Office, but the
young wife took him out the first day
fnr visit to the geological gardens.
We'll, Charlie" said the husband
to the youngster on their return, "how
did you like the monkeys? Were they
funny?"
Why, we didn't see any monkeys"
was Charities mournful reply. Aunt
Marjorie couldn't find them any
where"
No. Henry" said the wife, II
couldn't, and we almost walked our
legs off looking for them, too. But,
Henry, there's one queer thing. Why
does the director of the zoo have his
house right in the middle of the me-
nagerie?''
Il didn't know he had" was Henry's
surprised reply
Well, there's a building with
sign on it, 'Primate's House. Now,
'Primate' is French or Spanish or
Italian or English or something that
means director, I'm sure"
Henry loved her too much to ex-
pose her ignorance either publicly
or privately; but Charlie saw all the
monkeys next day under his uncle's
gufdance.-The Sunday Magazine.

Jail on wheels-that is. place where
prisoners can be locked up at night
and transported from place to place
and employed in roadmaking during
the day. He put his idea to test, and
the results were eminently satisfac-
tory. The prisoners graded away a
high hill on the West Pittsburg road
near Newcastle and constructed a
cement bridge over culvert eighty
feet long. The only expense to the
county from this bridge that would
ordinarily have cost thousands of dol
lars was for the material and the serv-
ices of an engineer. The men en-
ployed were sentenced from ten to
ninety days and were Informed that
the sentence would be materially
lessened If they would work on the
roads and not attempt to escape. and
they worked.

Traffic in Human Hair.

Much human hair is sent from
Prague to America 1t is collected
by hair merchants, regularly licensed
who make trips through the country,
going from house to house to induce
peasant women and girls to part with
their tresses. The price paid depends
upon the length of the hair and the
color, principally the latter The en-
tire head of hair is not sold at one
time, usually but one braid being dis
posed of at once, leaving the other
to be cut off about four years later.
The price paid for braids varies from
81 to $21 each. Prices paid by the
pound very from $11.60 to $50; the
latter price being paid for blond or
gray hair. ranging from "a to %
inches in length, All of the native
hair is shipped in its natural state,
without being bleached or dyed. The
estimated annual exports are $4,000
pounds.-Consular Reports.

HIGHWAY OF THE FUTURE.
One Constructed of Material Durable
For Heavy Motor Traffic.

One Constructed of Material Durable
For Heavy Motor Traffic.
All road builders are now engaged
In trying to devise road which will
stand motor traffic Many new meth
DDS have been tried with varying de-
grees of success. but none of them
seems to be perfectly satisfactory.
If broken stone is to form the wear
ing surface, then some means must
be found to hold the binding particles
SO firmly that they cannot be sucked
out. and sufficient strength must be
given to the mass to enable it to with
stand the sliding action of the wheels
at bends and turns. Several kinds of
tar macadam answer fairly well, but
they are expensive.
1t would seem that the most promis-
ing kind of road for heavy automobile
traffic is what is called durax in Eng
land. 1t is pavement of three inch
irregular cubes of hard stone laid in
small segments of circles.
These stones can be cut by machin-
cry and are comparatively inexpen-
sive. They are laid without grout,
but there seems to be no reason for
its omission except the cost. Great
quantities of this kind of pavement
have been laid in Germany.

New Dust LAYER.

Vice Consul w. Washington Bruins
wick furnishes the following inforna-
ton concerning experiments made in
ChemnitZ with a German anti-dust
sprinkler:
During the last summer extensive
experiments were made with "anti-
staubit" to prevent dusty roads in
Chemnitz. The material was bought
by the city from potash works at
Aschersleben and cost $26.1S per met
ric ton of 22,046 pounds. The anti
staubit is sprinkled over the road by
means of the ordinary street sprinkling
cart. After carefully cleaning the
street and moistening the material
with water it is thus strewn when
first applied. and for each square me-
ter about one kilo CD pounds per 10.S
square feet is required. All subse-
quent sprinkling is done, with solu-
ton of so per cent water. According
to the experience OF the Chemnitz
street cleaning department. the dust
preventing effect of anti-staubit lasted
from twelve to twenty-four days. ac-
cording to the amount of traffic and
the general condition of the streets.

prominent physician who is an
enthusiastic road builder makes the
following suggestions. which those in
terested in the cause Will find very
valuable:
First go to work; talk afterward.
Make up your mind at the start what
kind of road you are going to build.
Then when you begin work on the
road give it your full attention.
If you do this much yourself you
will learn more about how to make
country roads better in two hours than
| could tell you in print in fourteen
weeks. Again. repeat. go to work;
talk afterward.
The second thing is study the needs
of the little stretch of road upon which
you actually do your work. Make that
stretch of road model of good road
way in every particular. See to it that
every individual who drives over your
road becomes talking advertisement
for highway improvement. If you
must blast out rock to afford good
drainage for the side cutters along
your road. why. blast them out. Don't
wait to talk about it.

Ooq Climbs Mont Blanc.

A dog living at Les Praz, near
Chamonix, in the summer of 1908 dis
tinguished himself by climbing Mont
Blanc. His master, a workman, was
employed on repairs to the observa-
tory on the summit. One morning,
after having been seen by his owners
wife at eight o'clock, the dog disap-
peared. He must have rapidly tracked
his master by scent, for he arrived at
the summit at half past two in the
afternoon, having accomplished in 6k
hours what usually is estimated to
require Is hours for a man. The
presence of some tourists at. the top
insured this fact being properly at
tested, and Mont Blanc, as the dog
Isl now called, is quite hero in his
