The system of living here is entirely diff.
fercnt from what il is with us. Large and
elegant houses are put up,y FIVE or six
stories high; the proprietor preserves
probably one half or see forth of the rooms
Oh The lower floor for his own use, and all
the remainder of the rooms are rented :
Families seldom occupy more than three
rooms in most cases Two only. The floors
are oiled, painted aud then waxed, aud
carpets are OF found in one house of Afty
even of the nobility. Coffee in the morning
und then dinner st2 to 4 are ell the meals
thai are to be had even in private residen-
ces; at noon every one goes to some saloon
and gets "sideF' OF beer and piece OF
pmmpsrniekel or black bread; aud in the
evening they 60 to some beer garden
These beer gardens are famous places OF
resort, aud men, women aud chid'e n

democratic institution the people. have. for
every ybody goes there-the rich and poor
the State officials aud the day laborer.
