The Cost Of Living In Gel,nany

1t is safe to reckon the cost of living in any
inhabltaDle German city at one fifth more than
precisely the same Accommodations would cost
III an American city. One can live very cheap
ly If he wishes To do SO but it would cost even
less to live i'll America, and be mere comfor-
table What perhaps has given rise to the
enormous distinction between the prices oil
living III the two countries is this tact that
very cheap and scanty food Is perfectly re
spectacle here, and by no means indicative of
poverty; while at home the case is lust the
sther way. A renown professor in a great
German university, government officer high
| i'll rank, OF doctor or medicine possessing an
excellent practice, will eat at his table dishes
| from which an American day laborer would
turn away, and wOuld be ashamed to set be-
| fore friend. The poorest American family,
| II they can have nothing else, will have good
| food To eat. However plain and destitute or
variety 1t may be, there will bc plenty of If
and that palatable. SO much for the plain
truth about living i'll Germany. Ii il nut
good or cheap. The hotels present no eycen-
| iion to the second statement and but few IN
| the first let in this connection il ouoht Ia
be stated That all articles of clothing anG dry
goods, except Saxon linen, that gloves and
SHOES books. pictures and fancy goods, co.t
hardly more than half what similar ARTICLES do

branches OF study is inexpensive. bnt 0o0i

opetatlc music IN most of the cities ini iermapy

One Cause OF the Potato Disease

Among the numerous causes OF the potato dis.
ease, according to DIR. Alfred Carpenter, prnci
pal one consists in the accidental introduction OF
diseased tuber into pile destined tor subse
quent planting, the spores being transmitted from
one 10 The other, that the entire mass will be
more or less affected. DIR. Carpenter thinks that
IS general ruIe, the germs OF disease must bc
pre-eNstinS III the mother plant, but they may
remain entirely dormant or altogether inactive
or a considerable period, or until favorable con
dtions ot the excessive moisture, heat, or causes
combine in proper ratio TO quicken their growth.
If measures can be taken completely to disinfcct
the seed potato before planting, he thinks ap-
rrehen>ion need be islt rs to the future.
