AN engineer on the Lehigh Valley
Road broke the valve of his steam-pipe
the other day, and to save his life
couldn't stop the shrill screaming that
followed. The prolonged whistling
caused much commotion among people
living along the line of the road, and
many ran from their homes to ascertain
what was the matter. The engineer
pointed to the whistle, which the fire.
man was vainly endeavoring to fix, but
his gestures were not understood. Sta
tionmen, fiagmen, trackmen and others
had an idea that the engineer was
crazy, and began to predict all sorts of
disasters. The engine was run to Sugar
Notch and housed, and there the fire
was drawn. All this time, and until the
steam was exhausted, that Unsuitable
whistle footed away like mad. 1t was a
funny sort of an accident, and created
quite an excitement.

Paris may be fairly gtndied ID the
course OF few weeks; h4t tmonths are
required to get knowledge Of London
1t is as wonderful for itsputward repel-
ling aspect as for it's latent grandeur. ~
Luxury and ostentation are the idols OF
the French; comfort and peace those of
the eEnglish. Thus in Paris every beauti-
full thing is exhibited in the streets or in
public places; in Londof everything is
kept for the houses. But no European
capital offers so manv contrasts in
human life and possession as this colos-
sal town. It's West is the seat of mag
ni6cence, richess and neatness, while its
East offers picture of avery different
kind. Here, although nSt without con-
siderable exceptions, perjury has deeply
imprinted its seal on man, house and
street.
All this, however, could study without
the aid of friend or acquaintance. The
question now arose as TO how | could

whatsoever, and the English people are
not very fond of foreigners, even when

Solitude pressed so painfully upon me
that | thoug ght it best to leave London

morning before sunrise Quilted my room
with the intention of taking walk in
Hyde park, the best and most frequent

Passing through small and somewhat
dark alley | noticed a man in great
hurry who, trying to escape the pursuit

him, and calling on me to lay hold upon
the deserter So I did, sbut would not
have been able to retain him long, had
his pursuer not timely arrived and aided
me in the singular struggle in which he
caused me to engage. He has snatched

the gentleman. We then dragged the
thief along the alley in order to give
him in charge to the first policeman ap-
preaching. Ii may be said in'passing
that this is no rare occurrence in Lon
don, where above ten thousand thieves
find sufficient employment When in
full daylight [ found that the thief was
no other than my old friend and artist

plomatists and mobiles; artists and au-
thors and of no little consequence in
intellectual history. We refer to the
salons" Of Frau Won Asnstein and Frau
Won Eskeles.
The ladies were sisters and the
daughters of Daniel Itzig, the progen-
itor of a wealthy posterity. He had
been appointed alderman Of all the
Jewish communities of Prussia and was
famed for his wealth noless than for his
generosity. He had thirteen children;
of these nine we're daughters who all
distinguished themselves through the
culture of their hearts and minds and
who occupied an honorable, nay, consid-
ering the times, an important position
in society. Thus BlueM,chen (born May,
1852 was the wife of David Friedlander,
the wellknown pupil of Moses Mendels-
sohn and an old friend Of the two Hum
boldts, who, owing to his wealth and in
fuence-he was the first municipal
counselor in Berlin lived in great
splendorand enjoyed high esteem. Re-
becca, who spoke like an authoress"
was married to son of the mint-master,
Ephraim, and Yettcheas the youngest,
was the wife of certain Oppenheimer.
The children and grandchildren Of this
family, already celebrated in 1771 BY a
young Polish author as The friends Of
the muses. stand out prominently, even
to the present day, as diplomatists,
scholars and authors.

THE salons" OF VIENNA.

Through the early friends of the two
Mendelssohns, of Henrietta Herr and
Rachel Levin, the example which was
set in Berlin was soon followed in the
Austrian "Kaiserstadt". The diffusion
of north German education, the soaring
fancy of romantism with the splendor
and comfort Of Vienna life, lent sing
ular charm to the "solons' opened by
the Jewish women of Vienna, so that
they became the social centre of di-

On the banks of the Euphrates in

ters, written by Goethe to herself, 1897
-1015, were published by Vernhagen
Won Ense.
Much lovlier and more attractive than
Sara, was her younger sister, Mariane.
Her eyes,, Otto Won Manteuffel
wrote, in 1899, to his friend
Thierrot, ''are the most beauti-
full ones that ever shone upon earth
or in heaven" During the summer of
1897 she spent several days in Weimer.
Goethe, who at that time felt strongly
attracted by her. wrote to Schiller:
THE celebrated Mariane Meyer is also
here; 'tis pity that she did not arrive
some days earlier; I do wish that you
could have become acquainted with this
curious being" Mariane was less good
natured and less foolish than her sister,
on the other hand, she was also more
frivolous; she was wholly and entirely
egotistic; all her thoughts and deeds
were guided by her own advantages and
her own life and happiness were her only
cares. Beyond the present, all was void
to her; it never occurred to her to pre-
pare for the future.
This rare beauty was not, of course,
destitute of suitors. Count Gessler,
the Saxon ambassador at the Prussian
Court, made so little secret of his feel
ings that it was publicly maintained he
wished to marry her Count Christian
Bernstorff, afterward Prussian minister,
but at that time employed by the Dan
ish embassy in Berlin, cherished ferv
ent love for her; his proposition to be
welded to him was, however, opposed
by the very decided contradiction of his
father, the Danish minister. Simultan-
eous with this proposal was one by
Prince Reuss, the Austrian ambassador
at the Prussian Court, a good, brave
man but far in advance of her in age and
sH4 as sin. As.was proVens althnngh.s
to be sure, not until after the death Of
the Prince, she had been formally mar
ried to him and hence, was fully JUST;
fed as his widow to appropriate his
title and call herself Princess Reuss
The relatives Of the noble knew, how
ever, how, in consideration of certain
advantages, to deprive her of this title;
hereupon Emperor Franz bestowed upon
her the name, Frau Won Eybenberg.
After 1899 she lived, for the most part,
in Vienna; here she moved in the
most refined circles and became the CEN
tire of pleasant and attractive society;
the Princesses Won Kurland, the Ligne 4
and Clary families and many others of
highest rank and prominence were her
intimate friends.
In consequence Of the litigiousness
with which she carried on lawsuit,
she was almost impoverished, yet she
never lost courage in the deepest
trouble. She suffered much during the
last years of her life, and died forsaken
by all her aristocratic friends, at Wen
ma, 1914.
Mariane was know as pre-eminent in
intellect and learned woman, but did
not like to use the pen in authorship
There existed, at one time, collection
of her MSS, so-called Pictures,
character portraits of people of her own
circle, whose fine delineation and like
ness excited universal astonishment.
Her own portrait she is said to have
also drawn in this manner, with great
ability and unsparing truth

To the circle of Rachel's friends and
the enthusiastic admirers of Goethe, be-

examples of the remarkable freaks of
fate. In their frivolousness, they per-

taste in everything connected with the

In her youth she was fattered by Les
sing, later on by Herder, then she
stood in friendly relation with Frau Won
Genlis, Count Won Ligne and Goethe.
After first early marriage and many
vicissitudes of fate, which included,
among other things, even the event of
reconsidered baptism, she married the
rich Laplandic Baron Won Grotthuss,
with whom she long lived in the wished
for brilliant circumstances.
Accustomed, as she was, to look with
much complacence upon her own worth,
Sara soon stood upon the highest peaks
of vanity. She was the vainest person,
as Rachel expresses herself, who, for
thirty years, paid mplimentary visits
to herself; filled with disgusting sweet
nesses toward her own person. she was
veritable fool, so that her friends and
acquaintances avoided her presence
On the other hand, her nature con-
tanned the germs of a noble soul and an
independent spirit. In her younger
years, she had often been invited by
men of prominence to enter the lists as
authoress. She had really tried herself
in variations, dramas, moral and even
political essays, in both German and
French her French productions were
particularly priced. She died as widow
