AMERICAN CONSULS. "
41.
Dutlsa Ar. Misunderstood by
Many of Our Citiaono.
In almost every city and town tn I
Ffirope—or all over tbe world, for that
matter. If the city Is of any size—there
is an American consul />r consul gen-1
eral. And, while tbe office of these
functionaries Is commercial in reality.'
looking after the imports and tbe ex-'
ports between our country and others,
still they take a friendly Interest In
American citizens traveling and are al­
ways ready to go out of their way even
to be obliging In personal things. 1 (
explain this somewhat In detail, says
an experienced traveler In tbe Deline­
ator, as so many people, especially
women, seem to have a notion that a
consul is created for their especial ben­
efit. Aud one of tbe most serious trou­
bles these men have Is with those who
If their money runs short expect the
consul to furnish them with some and
often get insulting and threatening If,
It Is not done. The same may be said
in regard to our ambassador, for, (
while their positions are political and
diplomatic, thrlr offices are always
open, and any Information Is always
< heerfully given In case an American
Is In difficulty.
|
There are always certain public re­
ception days at the homes of our con­
suls and our ambassadors, to which it,
Is not difficult to obtained Invitations. >
In fact. It Is often announced in the
dully papers that Americans In general
are welcome, say on days like Thanks­
giving. Fourth of July, and so on. In
this way it Is possible for one to see
something of the lives of one's com­
patriots away from home.

A CUSTOM HOUSE TALE.
The American Who Landed In Ger­
many With a Box of Candy.
Germany Is Jealous of the foreign
candy maker and exacts a rigorous toll
upon anything In the shape of confec­
tionery that comes across its borders.
Ignorant of this, one of Uncle Sam’s
sons disembarked from a liner at a Ger­
man port carrying in bls hand a five
pound box of candy bearing a New
York trademark. At sight of the box
the Teutonic customs officials exhibited
marked activity and prepared to seize
upon it.
“Not for mine,” said the American.
“I won’t give up a sou. I’d rather eat
the stuff here and now." He opened
the box and commenced to dispose of
its contents without delay. Everybody
In sight was offered a handful. Nobody
declined except the customs officer,
who said blandly tbat he had not a
sweet tooth. The traveler himself ate
many pieces. It was not long before
the last bit bad been eaten.
As soon as tbe box was empty the
official seized the traveler by the arm.
"The gentleman." he announced, “will
accompany me to tbe bureau, where
we’ll make out bls bill for duty. Come.
It Is at the other end of tbe dock.”
“Never!" said the American. "You
have no right to charge me duty. 1
didn't bring it in. I'll see my consul
right away, and he'll send a big fleet
and bombard this blooming town."
"Softly,” said the officer. "You’ll pay
duty, all right There are fifteen wit­
nesses to prove that that candy of
yours was consumed on German soli."
The duty was paid, and the consul
has not as yet been consulted.—Phila­
delphia Ledger.

Ancient Enamsls.
It Is certain that glazes having the
composition of good enamels were
manufactured at a very early date.
Excellent glazes are still preserved, and
some of the bricks which have been
found among the ruins of Babylon
have been ascribed to the seventh or
eighth century B. C. The glaze on tbe
Babylonian bricks was found upon ex­
amination to have a base of soda glass,
or silicate of sodium. Glazes of a simi­
lar character were also manufactured
by the Egyptians as early as the sixth
dynasty. There can be little doubt tbat
the Greeks and Etruscans were also
acquainted with the art of enameling.
