The Garden City of Germany

This is the title of Eufurt, the CAPT.
tai city of The circle of the Prussian
provinces OF Saxony ofthe same name.
1t has a population of from thirty to
forty thousand, and is a fortress OF
considerable s~trategical Importance,
from its position on the military high
road of Central Europe. But its spec
Ial celebrity now is derived from its
extensive gardens and horticulture
and floral establishments. The Frank
fort correspondent of the New York
Post gives some interesting details of
these. About 1900 acres of land in
and around Erfurt are devoted to agri-
cultural and horticulture. Something
more than a quarter Of this is devoted
TO market horticulture, two-thirds of it
to the raising of flower aud vegetable
seed. There are thirty-six horticultu-
rists here, and one hundred and TWEEN
ty market gardeners, altogether en-
ploying more than FIVE hundred assist
ants. Seeds are put up here for all
parts of Germany, and for England and
America.
Some idea Of the extent of this trade
may be got from the fact that the bags,
cloth and paper, in which these seeds
are packed, cost about $1,000 a year
And the making Of boxes and packing
baskets, and the manufacture of flow
er-pots-some 100000 of which are
used every year-employing whole vii
lagos of poor people in the nelghbor-
hood. Among other products CT these
gardens, 100000 stock gillyfowers
are yearly produced, more than one
third of which are keptfor seed, bring
ing in a yearly income of $4,000. The
gillyfower is a perfect speciality of En-
furt gardend ers, and they are able to
boast of sixteen varieties, and over two
hundred different colored gillyiowers
already established; about twenty acres
are devoted to raising water crosses for
the market.

BEER.

The Boston Daily Ne1cS sums up
the bad character of beer in the
following graphic and trIthful par
agraphs
"Boer combines the narcotic Of
the hop with the Stimulating effects
of alcohol. Neither alone would
exert half the power on the human
economy that both do combined
Frequent draughts establish an ap>
petite that is not easily appeased.-
This appetite takes the guise of a
thirst winch resents the very sug-
gestIon of water. but demands an
outrageous quantity of the fluid
that has provoked 1t. Ii beer flow
ed naturally from the earth, ard
we're as harmless as water, the O
normous quantities that foe through
tho system could not fail 10 be an
evil.
at is idle to think that narcotics
and stimulants can be poured into
the healthy system in vast quan:i-
ties with Impunity. Both mind and
body hust suffer from it. As well
might one argue that the pauperism
of England has no effect on the
wealth of the hlghly-prosperous
nation.
"But the paupcrlsm of that high
ly-prosperous nation arises in a
great degree from beer. For this
beverage is costly when used pros
fusely Tho poor man who is Its
victim daily buys more than he can
afford and less than he Graves. H.
knows not. in his daily life, what
comfort Is because of the demands
of his thirst. 1t does not occur to
him that he can live without beer.
The free-handed man who began
with nothing, earned, In his first
year, four hundred dollars and
spent but three hundred and seven
ty-fve. Had he taken 10 beer 10
tho extent of seven cents per day,
he would have consumed all his
surplus earnings, and discouraged
himself. Thus, In thousands of.
cases, beer turns the scale against
the poor man forever. And thus
beer is The foe to health and cons
fort.
LASTLY, beer is the enemy Of
home. The end and aim of ali civ
ilization is HAPPY HOMES. Three
fourtAs of the human race must be
happy at home Or nowhere. And
alas for the man who had 20 happy

shop demands all the spare time of
his votary. He often can not be
contented elsewhere a single eve-
ming. His wife has no encourage
ment to beautify her hearth for him.
She sits there, moody, by a dim
light, toiling over his soIled and
old Clothes, while he loafs by fam
ting gas and talks with evil compa-
ny. No daily paper for limit
casts q fifth o fwhat he pays for
beer. Bis sons follow HIM to the

daughters soon learn TO meet their

RA1t is at last pretty definitely set
tied that Russia is not making any of
fensiye demonstration upon the Otto
man, and consequently her war-like
preparations, If they signify anything,
have a bearing upon mediation in the
Franco russian difficulties. The dis
patches last night announce that the
official organ Of the Russian Govern
ment, the st. Petersburg Journal has
declared that the Russian policy is one
of peace and justice, and that she is
not menacing the Turkish frontier with
troops. General Ignatiff, the Russian
Embassador at ConstantinopIe, has
not been recalled. Itwould still seem
tat the Bear has some notion of look
ing after the balance of power.

he called out to his valet: Here, Jim,

for dinner. Then 1 called out louder
yet to my boy, Bring me my one hun

While it is well-known that heretofore
