THB POLICE-RIDDEN GERMANS.
Er«r.TthIn{f^n a Teutonic City In Krpl
ftrictlf Under rolle<rS tiperv|*ion.
^ At the feme Whon tli$ universal cry in
England Is fortinoie lntvs,‘.,mon# legiila-’
t.oi^ fresfif restrictions fn every direction,
it is well to turn one’s eyes to a country
where a paternal government hedges
round its submissive subjects with every
possible safeguard, and decide whether,
on the whole, people are better off there
than they are with us. Germany under
the Bismarck ian system offers a good
field for study; it matters little whether
we go to Prussia or to one of the minor
kingdoms, ( for the chancellor’s iron hand
is to be Mt on every side. The first
point that will strike an Englishman on
taking up his residence in a Germaju
town—let us say in Munich, which in all
respects is a fair type of the sleepy, beer
. drinking, easy going Teutonic city —is
that the word “polizei” meets him at
every turn. Whatever he may wish to
know, if it is only the address of a
friend, he must apply to the police;
whatever he may wish to do and cannot
he i3 told is “polizeilich verboten” (for
bidden by the police).
The ordinary lawnbiding Englishman,
when at home, lias no reason for coming
in contact with the police from one year
to another, and probably lives in sublime
ignorance of the whereabouts of the
nearest police station. Not so in Ger
many. Within three days of his arrival
he is expected to call at the police offices
and fill up a form stating his name, age,
profession and religion, whether lie is
married, single or divorced, the object of
his visit and liow long lie means to re
main. Nor is it only foreigners who are
treated in this inquisitorial manner.
Every person who changes liis place of
residence must give immediate notice
thereof to the authorities; every servant
girl who goes to a new situation must no
tify the fact to the police, and allow her
service Wok—also a compulsory institu
tion—to be siqiervised. Every dog must
lie taken to the police station, medically
examined, its address entered, and be
provided with a metal label to he worn
on the collar. It is “polizeilich verboten”
to have music in your house after 10
o’clock without the consent of all the
other tenants; to take a lighted candle in
your own loft; to put flower pots on your
own window sill; to sell strong beer after
midday. Every chimney must be swept
by order of the government once a month
(the sweep usually arriving for the oper
ation in the middle of the afternoon) and
periodic visits are paid by officials into
every room to see that the careless house
holder does not stand his own furniture
too close to the stove, thereby running
the risk of a possible tire.
The whole drainage system, wretched
and unsanitary as it is, is under the super
vision of the police. Needless to say that
the hours for opening and closing shops
and restaurants are all fixed by law, and,
by a peculiar stroke of one sided tyranny,
the tram cars are not allowed to run after
9 p. m., as they would otherwise inter
fere with the cab monopoly. The infrac
tion of any of these rules is punished by
strictly enforced fines, nor must it be
imagined that the officials facilitate con
formance to the law.* Everything is left
to the initiative of the citizen, and the
regulations as to the days, hours and
pliioe of registration, etc.. are so numer
ous, and so constantly changed, that the
inexperienced foreigner may frequently
make several weary journeys before red
tapeism declares itself satisfied.
It is not for a moment disputed that
the majority of the regulations are dis
tinctly beneficial to the general com
munity. It is far better to insist on
properly fixed flower boxes than that
the unsuspecting pedestrian should re
ceive a flower not on his head. It is
most reassuring to lodging house keepers
that they cannbt unwittingly receive a
notorious scoundrel without the police
immediately warning them of the fact.
It is quite true, moreover, that the dog
regulations have been absolutely effectual
in stamping out hydrophobia. Prince
Bismarck is a judicious despot, and in
Idle eyes of those who look merely to im
mediacy results a most beneficent ruler.—
Pall Mall Gazette.
Sunday Promenade In Washington.
Usually Saturday iff the great “show
iay” of Washington, though the great
pedestrian parade always takes place
Sunday afternoon (or “evening,” as they
call it here and in the
tiq^t avgftuX ai
Then the wi

5 o'clock,
hion appears
Carriages,
ness, liveries,
village carts,
coupes, and even bi- and tricyles are aban
doned, and the great swell, official, diplo
matic, home and foreign, blooded and
shoddy, and old family and nouveau
riche, newcomers and old timers, bine
blooded and no blooded, beau monde and
hoi polloi, walk up and down Connecti
cut avenue and exchange l>ows and
greetings, cold stares, or “howdies," as
the case may be.
It is a great sight on Sunday afternoon,
when the American aristocracy and the
aristocracy of foreign legations-and the
Aiheiico-European hybrids get out in
style on Connecticut avenue for tlte
weekly Sunday afternoon stroll; It heats
“Unter den Linden” by a large majority.
The Misses West, daughters of the Eng
lish minrter, appear with a small “but
tons” tugging at the leash of a couple of
beagle hounds chained together; and half
a dozen dudes who have just got through
with their demi-tasse of cafe noir and
th»ir Chartreuse at Chamberlain's, and
tackled their cigarette#, are dragged
along by their enormous St. Bernard
dogs and Siberian hounds, while the ir
reverent remark, •AYhere is the dog
going with the dude?”
A young lady from Scott circle, who
is very plain herself, attracts attention
by leading at the end of a scarlet ribbon
a black-and-tan terrjor, which is about
as big as a cockroach, with legs like
knitting needles and t:iil like a Limerick
fish hook and sore eyes. A tall young
lady, the daughter of a cabinet officer,
walks along with her sinevey left hand
gripped upon the silver rivet studded col
lar of a big Newfoundland dog, while in
her right she carries a laced rawhide
whip with a silver handle.—Cor. Cincin
nati Commercial Gazette.
Flow He Con*lcte*t Himself.
IHie Uliieal ' truth - “Out of thy own
mouth slialt thou be condemned” was
strikingly verified in the case of a con
ductor on a prominent line running put
of St. Louis. He had been systematically
defrauding his company, and his pecula
tions were discovered m rather a peculiar
way. His train passed the division lieau-
quarters at night, and as he stepped into
the train dispatcher’s.office to register his
train, he turned into the division superin
tendent's room, and was seen to^iave a
memorandum book in his hand. After
exchanging a few wonls with the Super
intendent on business matters lie turned
and left llie office, but before doing so in
advertently droffped his mc'irioranuum
and left without noticing liis loss. Bcf< re
pulling out he discovered that hi?'memo
randum hook eyas missing, and lie hur
riedly entered the telegraph and superin
tendent's office in search of the little
book, blit without success, and was com
pelled to board ids train ami leave with
out it.
He had evinced so much anxiety in
searching for 'his book that after liis de
parture the sujierintendent made a search
for it liimself. and finally found it under
some papers on the floor. Upon opening
it. he found where this conductor had
been keeping a ledger account with the
company, showing the amountq col
lected. tho amounts turned in and the
amounts appropriated by himself, which
, were much larger than the portion given
the company. This proved very interest
ing reading' to the superintendent, who
promptly wired the conductor down the
line that he had found his book. The
' conductor never answered, and when the
time came for him to take out his train
again he did not appear, although no no
tice of discharge had been sent him.—

Diet Treatment of Obesity.
M. Dujardin-Beaumetz, one of the most
eminent of living French physicians, pre
scribes the following dietary for the re
duction of obesity: “Breakfast at 8
o'clock—Two ounces of cold meat, an
ounce of bread, eight ounces of weak tpa
without sugar. Luncheon at noon—Two
ounces of bread, four ounces of meat or
stew or two eggs, four ounces of fresh
vegetables, half ;ui ounce of cheese, fruit-
ad libitum. Dinner at 7 o’clock—No
soup, two ounces of bread, four ounces
of meat or stew, four ounces of fresh
vegetables, salad, half an ounce of
cheese, fruit ad libitum. In conjunction
with this course purgatives should lie
taken rather frequently, either mineral
waters, pills or powders, and the subject
should take exercise in proportion to his
strength and employ massage. ”—Glucago

One of John Marshall's Descendants.
The descendants of Chief Justice John
Marshall are a sturdy race. One of them,
I bearing the great jurist's name, owns a
! farm in Virginia and runs a sawmill
! thereon. lie got down in the buzz saw
pit not long ago to fix a loose screw.
I Suddenly he felt something moving be-
I hind him, and he threw liis arm up and
felt the saw cut through above the elbow,
almost from skin to skin. liaising liis
head, he struck the saw, which cut a
groove right through liis hair, over his
forehead and face, and down into
liis throat. When he was taken
out his face was one. uiass of
bleeding flesh. They laid him on the
grass and brought a surgeon. While the
latter was running across the fields to the
spot where the men had left Marshall he
heard his voice ..saying, as well as the
wounds would permit.: “Shove this stuff
away from my .eye so that I can see
whether it’s hurt. ” They did “shove the
stuff” away from his eye as carefully as
possible, and lie gave them one ghastly
glance and then murmured: “It's. all.
right; lean see.” It took the surgeon
an hour and a half to dress all liis wounds.
He endured the pain wi#i perfect com
posure. Within a month he was out
again as well as ever. Some one was
telling one of the old darkies on the
place, while “Marster John” was still in
bed, what a narrow escape he had had
from death. “Huh!” said the darky,
“take heap more than that to kill Mars
John. Why, if you wanted to kill Mare
John you’d have to cut his Lead off—and
then hide the head.”—Detroit Free Press.
Russian Officials Not Cruel.
It may lie supposed that officials who
are capable of treating prisoners in this
way must be constitutionally cruel, cold
blooded and heartless; but suc h a suppo
sition would lie, in many eases, perhaps
in a majority of cases, an erroneous one.
Many of the officials are naturally no
worse than other men, but they have
been trained under a system which is in
tolerant of opposition, and especially of
that form of opposition which in Russia
is called insubordination; they have been
accustomed to regard themselves rather
as the rulers than as the servants of the
people; they have not felt personally the
full weight of the yoke of oppression;
they have been irritated and embittered
by a long contest with fearless ;uk1 im
petuous men whose motives and charac
ters they misunderstand, and whom they
regard' as unreasonable fanatics and
treacherous assassins; and, finally, theif
fortunes and prospects of advancement
! depend upon the success with which they
! carry on this contest.—George Kennan

Beware of the Dog !
“Children should not be allowed to ap-
I proach strange dogs.” said a physician.
! “Some dogs are vicious, particularly
j where childreh are concerned, and snap
at them without warning. Others do it
from pure nervousness, for a child ap
proaches a dog in a boisterous manner
1 which the dog doesn't understand, and
i when he resists in the only way nature
! has given him he is unjustly blamed.
The dog is the most devoted friend the
human race has, hut it is his nature to
be so to his master, not to strangers. It
is not fair to put him in a position where
he will be condemned and punished for
what is not his fault. Let him have jus
tice, if he is only a hog. ”—Philadelphia

Caring for the Quinine Trees.
The price of quinine lias l>een reduced
froni $5 an ounce to less than si. and a
: denier says that it wiil remain cheap
hereafter. The reason is that the chin-
cliona trees are destroyed in taking i>ff
the bark. Formerly the" hark was stripped
clean and the trees 'L ere left naked to
bleed to death. Now when the Lark is
removed the trees are swath d with
moss, new hark forms on them. and. in-

The Canned Goods Trade.
“Over 1.000.000,000 cans are used an
nually by the canners of this country,”
said a dealer pi canned goods.
“A box of fin plates, which weighs
from 108 to 112 pounds, will make be
tween seven and eight eases of cans. A
case contains a dozen three-poUnd cans,
the general size, or two dozen one pound
cans. Taking the average, a box of tin
will make about 100 cans. Thus, you
seft. about-10.000.000 boxes of tin plates
are necessary every year to make the
cans to hold the goods packed in this
country. The weight of the metal alone
is something like 110.000,000 pounds,
and the cost about $45,000,000.”
“Are all the canned goods brought to
New York?”
“New York city is the main eource of
supply to the rest of the United States
for canned goods as well as for other
articles. It is also the principal port
from which canned goods are sent to
Europe, and there is u large trade done
now in this class of business between the
United Slates and the Old World. The
process of canning has enabled so many
American products to be sent in good
order all over the world that canned
goods now form an important factor in
the export trade. The hulk of the canned
goods, therefore, comes here, although
other large cities are often supplied direct
from,the place of canning.” \
“Is any of the tin produced here?”
“None that is used in canning. The
cost of home manufactured tin plates is
too great at. present to come in competi
tion with the imported metal. Besides,
that which is made here is not fitted for
cans in which to pack food products.”—
New York Mail and Express.
A Rare Gold Coin.
Mr. C. Scheben, of Kansas City, is the
owner of a rare gold eoin of great value.
It is United States money of the face
value of $-1 and was manufactured at the
mint in San Francisco in 1879. Only*
seventeen were coined, and for some rea
son the dies were destroyed. The front
side contains the head of the G oil dess of
Liberty, the date 1879, and around the
rim there are thirteen stars with the fol
lowing figures and letters between them:
“6, G, 8. 8, 7, C, 7, G, R, A, M, S'”
On the reverse side is a five point star in
the center, underneath which is the word
• 'Met. ” in a circle outside the stars are
the inscriptions: “E Piurihus Unum”
and “Deo Est Gloria.” There is still
another circle outside this inscription
bearing the words “United States of
America. Four Dol.”—Chicago News.
Girl# iu the Open Air.
Man. like other animals, was made to
live the greater part of the time out of
doors. Out of door exercise is essential
to vigor of body, and vigor of body is es
sential to youthfulness of appearance. It
is the indoor confinement of women—
the constant breathing of overheated and
vitiated air and the necessary neglect of
natural forms of exercise—that makes
their beauty fade prematurely. It is as
natural for girls to romp and play in the
open air as it is for colts to do so, and
the health and strength of the horse
would be vitally impaired by the hot
house bringing up which the girls have
to undergo before they attain to years of
maturity.—Philadelphia Record.

The Redwood of California. .
Since mahogany and the more expensive
woods have grown scarce, the redwood
of California has been extensively used,
not only in building, but also in the man-
ufactifre of furniture. It is destined to
take the place of walnut, cherry and
mahogany, on account of its great supply
and cheapness. When highly polished
it is just as handsome as any of the more
i expensive woods. 'When rosewood went
| out of use on account of the extinction of
j the supply, house decorators for a long
| time were at a loss as to what they could
; use for a substitute, and at last they have
; discovered it in the California redwood.
| It is suited for any kind of decoration,
J and there i< an illimitable supply throngh-
j out the Golden State, where extensive
forests abound. The redwood trees grow
