HOW BERLIN GROWS.
Its Libraries, Museums, Palaces and Its
Great University.

Its Libraries, Museums, Palaces and II
Great University.
Under the heading of New Berlin
many interesting particulars Of the pro
gress OF the Prussian capital since 1877
have been gathered together by Prof
PalOezy. There are now, IL seems
twenty-five public libraries in Berlin
with more than one hundred thousand
volumes. Vienna's twenty-nine public
squares are compared wion fifty-eight
possessed by Berlin. Though Vienna
has its Prater and Paris its Bots de
Boulogne, Berlin surpasses both in its
Gruenwald with its immense extent, its
hills and wales, it's woods and lakes,
villas and hunting lodges. The north
ern limit now lies close TO the houses of
Charfottenburg, the largest suburb.
Berlin expends year, more than 10.-
100000 marks on the poor, and medi-
Giants on the streets are unknown.
The citizens take pride in serving their
city without reward. More than
twelve thousand OF them are now thus
working for the town, while the mum.
Der of paid officers is comparatively
insignificant. More than half OF the
thirty-one magistrates who carry on
the direction OF affairs In the Red
House" have no salary. though their
office is no sinecurc. This unselfsh
devotion to the general well. being is
the suro guarantee for the further de-
velopment OF the city. 1t is only four
years ago that the Prussian Landtag
voted 1000, 900 marks for the increase
OF the royal museums OF Berlin. Sew
oral millions OF marks have been re-
Gently voted for deepening the bed OF
the Spree and for the improvements of
the Upper Spree canal, which will
greatly facilitate tho trade OF the city.
The city railway costs enormous sums.
The Ministerial palaces, though simple
In style, have luxurious and commodi-
Gus interiors. -Four monumental post
offices and the magnificent Polytechnic
at the west end OF the Thiergarden are
tho boast OF the city. The new palace
of the Reichstag In the Konigsplats is
rising from Its foundations, and in less
than three years II will probably be the
greatest ornament OF the city. A strik-
ing illustration OF the progress Of Berlin
Is the almost unexampled increase OF
the students in the University. who
numbered in 1887 no less than 8, 1888.
AT this moment the University OF Berlin
Is the most frequented in the world;

MRS. ClEvElAND'S RING.

Tho Engagement Circlet Which was Pro.
sented to Her by the President.
Mrs. Cleveland's engagement ring Is
not, as is generally supposed, the beau
tiful diamond which she wears just
above her wedding ring, but Is large,
old fashioned seal ring, which now
adorns the Presidents finger. There
is quite little history attached to this
ring and the way 1t came to be be-
slowed upon Mrs. Cleveland.
A few days before the departure OF
Mrs. Folsom and Dor daughter for
Europe, it will be remembered that the
President went on to New York for the
purpose OF seeing and bidding them
goodbye. 1t was upon this occasion
that the President first definitely asked
Mrs. Cleveland to become his wife
and fixed the date OF their marriage
Immediately upon her return to this
country. Taking from his finger the
seal ring which he had worn for years,
and which had been originally a gift
from Mr.. Folsom, the President placed
it upon her finger, intending, almost
Immediately thereafter, to forward her
the handsomest diamond that could be
found This plan Mrs. Cleveland her.
self ultimately changed. as she decided.
1t would be less likely to attract atten-
ton if, during her stay abroad. she
wore the old seal ring which had be-
longed to her dead father.
On the day OF her marriage, as Is
we'll known, Mrs. Cleveland received
a magnificent ring and necklace of soil
taires from the President, diamond
pins for the hair and breast from Sec
rotary Whitney and Mrs. Whitney, in
addition to numerous other small gifts
of similar nature from others. But,
curiously enough, the first diamond
ring which Mrs. Cleveland possessed
was tiny little star of diamonds,
which she wore upon the little finger
of the right hand on the occasion OF
her marriage. This ring was the gift
of friend in New York, who had
known Mrs. Cleveland from early
childhood, and who, hearing her men
ton the fact that she had never owned
a diamond. sent the little glittering
star from Tiffany's the day before h,
departure for Washington when she
came on to be married, This friend
was among the number of those who
came on in the same train, and was
present at the ceremony Washington,

Two Californians crossing from
Avalon, Catalina Island, to San Pedro
in small yacht had a peculiar exper.
fence. About half way across they saw
dead ahead big whale floating on the
water. There was gale blowing, and
the whale wouldn't bulge, and before
the course of the boat could be changed
she ran upon the tail of the monster.
Luckily the big fellow didn't strike. but
only spouted fiercely, and the boat,
after almost capsizing. slipped off OF the
tail and went safely on its course.
