 Berlin, March 5.--(Special )-In order to show the natives of India how far the German manufactures are ahead of those of Great Britain and how much more cheaply they may be sold in the Empire of India, the German government has just decided that not only are German manufacturers to be subsidized to en- able them to exhibit, but, at the expense of the government. whole section de- voted solely to German exhibits of in- terest to India is to be organized at the Indian Agricultural and Industrial Ex- hibition, which is to be held at Allaha- bad from January 10 to February b, next year.
 The German exhibit Is to be made a link in the series of determined efforts on the part of Germany to beat England in the eastern markets, as she has already done in Mexico and South America. The Ger man commercial methods are, if any thing, aggressive and up-to-date and far superior to the English, for while British manufacturers endeavor to make their oyersea customers buy what they manu- facture, whether their products be the most suitable or not, special commercial experts attached to every German con sulate abroad keep home manufacturers posted on what Is specially needed in their locality, and German commercial travellers study the tastes and needs of the natives of every foreign country that offers a possible market
 The great German steamship companies offer special low rates to distant coun- tries where it is supposed German man. ufacturers may find increasing sales. and two of the greatest subsidized German steamship companies, the North German Lloyd and the Hamburg American, are even now in more frequent communica- ton with England's great Asiatic empire than is England herself
 Altogether there is every reason to sup pose that England will not easily forget the coming Allahabad fair, which for the first time will open the eyes of the na- tives, who hate her most heartily to the advantage they will derive from commer- cial dealings with German Instead of English manufacturers.
 "More police dogs" is the cry in Ger many. Public confidence in these four footed detectives was small at first, but events have shown that 1t is richly de- served. The great headquarters for the dogs is naturally Berlin. where they were originally trained and tested, and thither come daily requests from all parts of the empire for a loan of them. Hitherto the requests have been compiled with as re- cefyed,g but the number of applications has so increased that the Berlin chief of police Herr Von Jagow. has been obliged to make rules restricting the use of the dogs outside the capital, where there is already plenty of employment for them. Tn the future every request for a police dog must state the nature of the offense committed. the amount of estimate dam age, the time and place Of the offense. the state of the weather at/the time of its commission. and especially If it had rained, showed or frozen on the oc-' casipn Information. moreover, must be given as to the existence or non-exist- ence of footprints. as to whether any thing had been left by the offenders which might serve the dogs as a clue, and, above all. whether a car will be sent to the nearest railway station to fetch the dog The importance of this particu- lar lies in the fact that tired hound is far less likely to succeed in tracking an offender than a fresh one, and the more so when the weather is hot. In every case the police demand that secre- cy as to the coming of police dog be observed, since the rumor of such an in tcresting canine Sherlock Holems being about to arrive would gather impeding croWdS to the spot.
 The firm of ". A. Mueller in Steglit has obtained from the Abyssinian gov ernment a concession for the exclusive motor service between Adis Abeba and Dira Daua, the latter being at present the terminal station of the French rail- way from the capital to the coast.
 Among the privileges of the new under taking are the transport of the govern a me goods; also the transport of the French railway materials between Adis Abeba and Dira Daua at a nominal rate.
 Another large order recently placed in Germany is for several hundred tons of rails for the continuation of the Bag dad railway. I learn that great activity is being displayed in laying down the rails.
 The recent suspension of the Corps Bo- russia at Bonn. to which the Kaiser be- longed and still belongs has recalled one of the few romantic episodes in the Ger man Emperor's life.
 A fellow Borussian. named Heyder- mann, was engaged to the daughter of a druggist in Stettln. The parents of Therese Warnecke. as the girl was called. decided to marry her to another suitor if Heydermann did not succeed in passing an examination, and "Resi' intending to comfort her lover started off to Bonn, where she had friends. though pretending to her parents that she was gone on visit to Bromberg.
 The Kaiser, Prince Wilhelm, as he then was, was the unconscious means of bring ing the girls escapade to the parents knowledge. The day Resi- was to leave Bonn she was walking with her fiance whe nthe Prince happened to pass by. Struck by her beauty he addressed the pair and conversed with them for a while and in the evening during corps som mers or drinking reunion contributed to toasts usually given on such occasions by a little speech, quite in the Kaiser's style, saving: .'I saw today picture, the ideal of a German maiden. She united in her person beauty of face with an imposing figure, the red on her cheeks testified to the proverbial modesty of our maidens, and her voice sounded as tremendously as the lute of the Minnesingers on the Wartburg. She told me her name and may it be bessed!'
 Somehow or other an allusion to the toast got into the local papers; the girl in question was traced and news of the incident reached her parents in Stettn, who were thus informed of their daugh- ters strategy. There was a fine row in the home of the Stettiner apothecary, but if is pleasant to add that it blew over ana Rest and her lover were united
