A Study of Berlin.
Berlin is almost as discouraging in
its other landmarks of its notable Ger-
mans as in its public statues. It is al-
most as bad as New York, where few
houses now stand that were in existence
when Franklin and Washington were
alivo. London is rich in buildings as-
sociated with grsat men, and an Ameri-
can can hardly walk from Westminster
to St. Paul's without recalling a dozen
names of men whose lives are dear to
him. Berlin has, however, been almost
built anew since 1870. I can remember
whole streets that were different when
I was a boy. There are, to be sure, a
few instances of memorial plates being
affixed to houses where notable Ger-
mans have lived, but even in these casefl
the bouses themselves are an uninterest-
ing portion of an uninteresting street.
The Prussian kings adored uniformity
in street architecture, as well as in the
dressing of soldiers, and that may be
the reason why today the most beautiful
streets of Berlin furnish less interest to
a stranger than the grimiest alleys of
London, with their charming diversity
of dirty fronto.
The houses here are all equally high,
equally broad, equally gaudy on the
outside and equally devoid of individu-
ality within. The Anglo-Saxon owns
his house and makes it comfortable for
himself and his family. The Prussian
lives in an apartment house, along with
perhaps a dozen more families, all of
them subject to the petty tyranny of a
porter whoso duties are dangerously
near to those of a police agent. Thus
the individual taste of a Berlin artist,
writer, actor or other notable resident
finds no expression through his architec-
tural surroundings. A Helmholtz, a
Mommsen, a Menzel or a Virchow in
in Berlin as little identified with his
house as a soldier with his barracks.
This form of living has its conveniences,
particularly to a bachelor, but is not
conducive to interest in those who seek
the literary landmarks of great capitals.

Weekly.
Domestic Service on the Kongo.
"Cruelty In the Kongo Free State" w
the title of a paper made up from tho
journals of the late E. J. Glave in Tho
Century. Mr. Glave says: Toyo, tho
boy I engaged of Sims, is more differ-
ent kinds of an ass than any one I have
met for several moons. The other day,
after cooking something in the frying
pan, he placed the sooty side on the
drum of my banjo. I do not understand
his language very well, but from ges-
ture and disgusted look it ought to havo
been clear to him that I objected to that
sort of untidiness. When I threw of?
the frying pan, he took it up carefully,
wiped the sooty part with a cloth I had
given him to clean pjates with, aud
tnen put it back on the banjo. He has
made tea in my coffeepot without re-
moving the coffee grounds. He walk*
into my room without taking off his
hat or removing his pipe. He is ugly,
slow and has no more intelligence than
rock. I found him wearing a hat which
I had given him to carry, and wiping
his sweaty face on my towel. What
service he could have rendered Sims
mission I do not know.

Sorry He Spoke.
On one occasion when a well known
wit was listening to the band on the
pier at Brighton some medical students
who happened to be there thought they
would have a joke with him, and ac-
cordingly one of their number went up
with outstretched hand and said:
"Ah, good morning, Mr. . How
do you do?"
"I am quite well, thank you," re-
plied he, "but I really have not the
honor of your acquaintance. "
"What!" said the student. "You
don't know me? Why, I met you at the
zoo."
"Young man, accept my apologies,
but really I saw so many monkeys there
that it is impossible for me to recognize
them all again. "—Pearson's Weekly.

Glancing across the surface of every-
day life in the Elizabethan days of ro-
bust manhood, it is interesting to no-
tice the lively, childlike simplicity of
manners, the love cf showy, brilliant
colors worn by both sexes, and to com-
pare theso charming characteristics
with the sober habiliments and reserved
manners of the present day. Here is an
example of tho man of fashion, the
beau ideal of the metropolis, as he sal-
lies forth into the city to parade him-
self in the favorite mart of fashionable
loungers, St. Paul's churchyard. His
beard, if he have one, is on tho wane,
but his mustaches are cultivated and
curled at the points and himself is redo-
lent with choicest perfumes.
Costly jewels decorate his ears; a
gold brooch of rarest workmanship fas-
tens his bright scarlet cloak, which is
thrown carelessly upon his left shoul-
der, for he is most anxious to exhibit
to the utmost advantage the rich hatch-
ings of his silver hilted rapier and dag-
ger, the exquisite cut of his doublet
(shorn of its skirts) and trunk hose. His
hair, cropped close from the top of the
head down the back, hangs in long love
locks on tho sides. His hat, which was
then really new in the country, having
supplanted the woolen cap or hood, is
I thrown jauntily on one side. It is high
i and tapering toward the crown and has
' a band around it, richly adorned with
) precious stones or by goldsmith's work,
and this gives support to one of the
finest of plumes.—Nineteenth Century.

They Are Sensitive.
The sensitiveness of the families of
distinguished men as to the early oe
cupations ci their ancestors is some-
what remarkable. Recently an author
was asked to write a brief history of
the life of a man who had done service
to his state. Like Lincoln, this man had
been a woodehopper, a fact to which
his historian gave prominence.
"Don't say he was 'a woodehopper,' "
said the spokesman of the family.
"That will never do."
" What shall I say then?" asked the
author.
"Say—let me see now. Just say that
he was connected with the lumber busi-
ness. "—Atlanta Constitution.
