be galleries and museums are always open
on Sunday and are usually we'll flied. Thou
sands too embrace the opportunity for ex
cursions to the country, so that every means
Of conveyance is crowded. Formally the
shops were kept open few hours in the
morniDg-or till church time-now they are
mainly closed on Sunday and the tendency
more and more is toward suppressing BUSH
ness on that day, but opening every possible
avenue to seltimprovement and the enjoy
ment of the "out-ofdoors," which Germans
20 love and from which so many are cut of
by their daily svocatious.
There is no place in the world where there
are so many places of amusement as IN
Rerlin-pot even Paris. There are seven
teen thestres, at which the prices of ad.
mission rate much lower than in any other
large city. and innumersble gardens The
principal of these are the "kroll Gsrten,
the "Thier Garten" and the Geological Gar
den. The Knoll Garteu is a very tavorite
place OF amusement, wi'h two bands OF It's
O. n End complete CON psny OF performers.

greatest interest on the part of the crowd
was shown towards the really pretty young
Japanese girls who were busily employed
making fans and screens, and also in the
play house" where number OF Jspa-
ness children were engaged at game which
looked like leap frog The Geological Gar
den is controlled by a company, who rent
the ground in one of the parks from tbs city,
and is enormously well paid for its invest
ment. The collection OF animals does not
compare with that of London, but the At
fractions are greater, and draw thousands
Of people every Sunday. Standing on the
csstellated heights, which have the appear
ance of ruin, and looking down upon the
lake, encircled by q row Of electric lights,
on lovely summer evening, watching the
graceful movements of the black and white
swans, and the moving masses OF happy
people, one quite agrees to the general prop
oSition that it is an enchanting spectacle,
and that the Germans know how TO enjoy
themselves. We paid hurried visit to
Charlottenberg to see the palace where the
previous Emperor, brother of the present
Emperor, Frederick William ~, was con-
fined for the last years of his life after he
became insane, and also the Mausolm erected
