the customer He learned the native language, catered to the likes, whims and eccentricities of the buyer. He did not try to convince the customer that he did not know his business or that the people did not know the styles. Instead he ordered from Europe exactly what the merchant re- quested, and when the shipment ar rived he was on hand to see that it was right or to make it satisfactory
 In contrast to this the Brazilian mer- chants tell of many North American trying to sell them something they do not want, trying to convince the Bra zilian that he does no know his own market, or even taking his order and then sending something entirely diff ferent. The story is told of one Bra zilian ordering number of black horses from North America and re- ceiving all white.
 Generally the Brazilians are sympa- thetic toward the incoming North Americans. But if they are coming into the field to stay it is felt that they should learn to play the game accord ing to local rules-please the man who is doing the buying and who in turn must please the people in order to dispose of his goods.

HAD LOOT ALWAYS IN MIND
Hun Officers Seemingly Unable, Under
Any Circumstances, to Refrain
From Robbery.

An Illuminating picture of Ger
man gratitude appears in group OF
anecdotes collected by Mr.. Robinson
Smith and published in the London
Worlds Work. During the battle
Of Ermeton sur Bert, wrote the mar
rator, q Belgian, Colonel Count Won
Eulenburg, was seriously wounded
at the door of our chateau. His men
carried him to the ambulance that
my sisters had established in the
courtyard, and he remained there
four days, after which he was evacu-
ated to the lazaret of st. Gerard.
The day after his departure a
great parsonage, covered with deco
rations down to his waist and sur
rounded by a brilliant staff, came in
= carriage and four to thank my Sis
ters for the care they had given the
ilustrious count. On taking leave,
with many bows, he perceived, near
the door, a stand in which we kept
our walking sticks, two Of which had
gold knobs and were worth more
than five louis apiece. He chose the
two from among the lot and said a
word to his ordnance officer, who
handed US a paper on which he had
written, "Good for two sticks" They
rode away in great pomp and
dignity.

DEFENDED USE OF POISON
Wholesale Murderers, in 1717, Claimed
They Were Making the World
"Better fer Humanity"

On July %, 1717, Addison, as Sec
rotary of state, addressed a letter to
the commissioners of customs in
England, requiring them to take
measures for checking the introduce
ton of a poisoned liquor Of which
the British ENJOYS at Naples and
Genoa had sent home accounts. 1t
appears from the communications OF
these men that this liquor, called
aqua tofani, from the Greek woman
who invented it, was introduced in
large quantities into Italy, and also
in part distilled there, and was e1-
tensively used as poison, 1t was
stated that 900 persons had been de-
stroyed by it at Naples, and there
had been. many punished by death
for selling and administering it. The
culprits engaged in the making and
sale of the liquor pretended a re-
tigious and conscientious object
they desired to keep the world in
ease and quiet, by furnishing hus-
bands with the means of getting rid
of troublesome wives, fathers of un-
'ruly sons, man of his enemy, and
SO forth.

Utilizing SUMS Heating Power.


Many attempts have, been made to
utilize the heating power of the SUD

in the Youths Companion. Sum-
power pumping plants have been run
experimentally on large scale in CAL

come solar-power plants the rays are
concentrated on steam boilers by mir
rors. In others the sun heats shall
low pools Of water with blaekened
bottoms, and the hot water Is used to
run sulphur-dioxide or other low-pres-

that the first cost of the large con-
trivances for collecting solar heat and
the small efficiency Of the engines op-
Grating with such narrow ranges of
temperature make solar plants q little
too costly to compete with other

CHILD VICTIM OF EAGLES.

A baby was lost three months ago
from the village of Marriages near
the Spanish frontier. Search failed
to reveal any trace of the child. At
last a group of villagers who ascend
ed the mountain of Cancardus look
ing for some horses which had es-
capped found the bones of an infant,
some scraps Of linen and pair of
tiny sabots. The unhappy parents
were called and recognized the sabots
as those of their child. Near the
bones was discovered a nest Of eagles.
It is believed that while the child
was playing in a field an eagle
swooped down and carried the little
fellow off.

KEPT THElR BLOOD UNMixED
San Bias indians Claim That No Alien
Strain Has Ever Been Mingled
With Theirs.

The San Bias Indians occupy the
Atlantic coast and the adjacent
islands near the Colombian border,
and are among the best natural sail
orsein the world, many: of them 60
ing'to sea on ships from the Panama
canal. Their coast and islands are
said to produce the best coconuts in
the world. These natural seamen
bring large loads of coconuts to
Cristobal, piled high in their dugout
sailboats, up the toughest bit of
coast on the Caribbean, with the
waves LAYING over the. edge, and
never lose a nut.
Their blood is probably the purest
of any of the American Indians, as
no men in the world have guarded
their women with more jealousy and
efficiency than the San Bias, is q
statement made by G. R. Calhoun,
in Everybody's. In country every
where touched with the blood of the
West Indian negroes, the San Bias
never show the slightest trace of any
kind of mixture. Until few years
ago, and it is still often true, no men
nther than those Ct their own tribe
were permitted to be ashore on their
:oasts or on their islands after sun
set.
Courtship in the San Bias is a
strenuous matter, especially for the
bride-to-be. To win her the suitor
must chase her and catch her in the
water.
