The Citizens of Berlin.

The surface life of Berlin is not sjcc-
tacularly impressive. as it is in Paris and
London. Tie citizens are. with tie ex.
ception Of the officers, the worst dressed
men in Europe. They are aptly described
by the word slouchy. The neckties are
dim ard chosen with execrable taste, and
the clothes are haggy, i'll fitting and
dingy, This Is the more remarkable be-
cause the officers Of the German army
are the leading handles of the civilized
world. and the crack tailors Of London
and Paris are nearly all Germans. In
his native city the German wears big and
rough boots, and garments noticeable for
their clumsincss. lie lounges about
theatres, music balls and cafes, with his
hands in his pockets and his head hang
ing forward, content 20 drink beer and
falkland il is when he talks that the
charm begins. 1t is astonishing to a
Traveller who has grown accustomed 10
the solemn, stupid and conventional talk
Of the English or the constant and unre-
heved guggrstiveness OF the French to
hear a party Of Berlin men in n discus
sion. They are the best takers in the
exhibit Of absolute and varied knowledge
In the world. -Blakcly Halls Berlin

Dogs Trained for Smuggling.

On the Belgian frontier smuggling
with the aid Of trained dogs is said to be
a nourishing business. Cigars, jewelry
and aces constitute the trade. The ami
mails receive a special training for their
profession. The practice consists in
travelling from one place in Belgium TO
another in France and vice versa, avoid
ing the high roads and the revenue men.
The latter they are taught by bitter ex-
perience TO avoid, for the smugglers who
train them keep a good supply of uni
forms Of revenue officers on hand. These
uniforms are donned by ~confederates
whom the dogs have never seen, and
these fellows beat and stone the dogs I'M
mercifully. The result is that the dogs
run whenever they see a genuine officer.
When the dog is started off ON his Jour.
ney with his load the smuggler sets out
for the same place, but he takes the di-
rect route. OF travels boldly by rail, car
ing, of curse, nothing for any mspec-
ton Of his baggage,
There was a famous dog Of this kind
in Maubcuge. He made the fortune Of
his master by carrying laces across the
French frontier. His natural color was
white, but he wore all sorts Of disguises,
Sometimes lac was black. sometimes brown
and sometimes he was a mighty thick,
shaggy fellow. He was called Cute
Clalin), and he was well worthy of the
name. A price was put upon his head,
and all sorts Of traps and ambuscades
were prepared for him. 1t is said that
once he crossed the frontier disguised Us
an innocent sheep dog, travelling with a
flock OF sheep. His death was quite
tragic. Cute died in harness like a hero.

and repeatedly fired upon. In swim.

The Old Fn.hIcnea Hired Wan.

This is the day when the ''hircd man"
who is engaged to work on a farm for
the season reports for duty, provided, Of
course. that there is somewhere a farm
on which such a relic of a bygUnc age as
the hired man is 10 be found this year.
What an institution he used to be in the
days when we were young! A thorough
bred Yankee: not a drop of imported
blood IN his veins, strong and 1.-THE. and
active and tireiess- Intelligent, fairly
well educated. skilled in his business. and
as q rule industrious beyond the belief
Of this ten hour generation. From the
time no drove his az into the woodplIe
in the door yard on the LIST of April until
the close Of the season, after harvesting,
he expected to work, and he did work,
not from sun to sun, but from dawn TO
darkness, and then did the milking and
fed the pigs afterward. His day was
fourteen, fifteen, even sixteen hours long,
and il never occurred 3 him that it
should he shorter.

ANYTHING. He was smart with q scythe.

and experienced with an az. He knew

The Central Americans Weapon.

These fellows are wonderfully expert
with the machete, which serves every
purpose from the digging Of a grave to
that of cutting down a tree eighteen
inches in diameter. The machete differs
in length and form according 10 the Sec
ton Of the country and the main object
for which it was originally designed. In
the cane growing regions Of the west
coast it is about thirty inches long. The
edge of the blade is slightly convex, and
increases in width near the end, which
is rounded and Jared very similar to the
eastern scimitar. On the Caribbean
coast it is a little longer, but the blade is
not so convex and Of less width. Years
ago il was the national weapon of the
country, and in many bloody revolutions
the sight of a regiment Of Indians with
these murderous blades sparkling in the
sunlight caused more than one stampede
among the soldiers. Cor. New York

Oysters at Feeding Time.

Oysters cannot be kept without a
knowledge Of their habits. They feed
twice in a day of twenty four hours, and
then just at that stiffness preceding the
turn of the tide. At no other time, ex-
cept when feeding, do they open their
mouths. When taken out Of the water
they naturally attempt to feed at regular
intervals, and as soon as their mouths
are open the liquor is all lost, the air
takes its place. and the oyster is covered
with a thick coating Of slime. This is
the first stage Of decomposition, after
which the oyster is of no account. Seat

grossly abuses his officers when out Of
hearing, is careless and s%lovenly, has no
heart for military service, and, when op-
portunity comes. sonceals all trace Of its
