Glyptoteck at Nunieh are preserved MANY
fragments Of this temple; they are very
beautiful and form one of the chief at.
fractions Of this splendid collections OF
marbles. Opposite the Glyptoteck is q
beautiful Corinthian temple containing
many modern paintings, most of which.
with many marbles and bronzss, are for
sale.
There is still another fne picture gallery
known as the Schaok gallery, and Il Is well
worth . prolonged visit
The stained glass works and the bropz
foundriss are places of great interest to
the visitors to Munich.
forbear further description of many
Interesting places In this lovely city Of
Munich. An account of the churches
alone would fll Q whole letter.
One thing surprised me which had not
particularly noticed on q former visit of
come years aimee, and that was ths effect
OF beer on the denizens of Munich. Un-
doubtsdly the beer brsved In Bavaria from
the earliest period has been of the very
best quality. 20 that the expression Bava-
nan beer 10 known the whole world over,
and is synonym of perfection In that
specisl line of drinkables. This delicious
beer 10 sold here at twenty-five pfenuiups.

(sbout one quartz, consequently the people
old and young. even the toddling children,
live on beer, and I could not help noticing
ths obesity of psrson. the rotundIty of
form, the great red fat cheeks and tender
eyes, resulting from the excessive indul.
genoe In this alluripg beverage.
Beer serves a. food as we'll as drink for
the inhabitants of Bavaria, and some of
the strong men of Munich can readily
quaf on eight quart pots of the beverage
no less than three times q day. No won
der the people look beery, and the amount

incredible. would suggest as q coat of
arms of this city an immense tuu or vat
as great ss that of Heidelberg, surmounted
by two rampant Bavarians with the motto

BILE beer drinkers.
think Ii vas Hawthorne who wrote of
our Euglish cousins and remarked that
when an English mstron sat upon the
ground she covered very large space of
mother earth.
No doubt this was indelicste, but to tell
the truth have seen some men here 90
distended and stretched beyond their nat
ursl proportions, SO ponderous vithsl,
that they seemed to me, when once settled,
they might cover q whole county.
Strange that In city of such beery at
mosph-res the arts should flourish 60 re-
msrkably. No doubt beer Is an incentive
to fne art. To visit the hop brewery and
to enter the cellar where are daily collected
two hundred or more people of every class
of society seated at long tables eating black
bread and pouring down besr from huge
stone jugs is an object lesson for all who
visit Munich.
There should be large central engine of
enormous horee power, and pipes and hose
should be laid on to every house and small
tubes to every mouth; even then I fear,
with the engine humming with full force.
enough beer could not possibly be forced
In to fully rstisfy these bser-loving Bsva-
riaus.
am glad that In Dresden, where we are
spending few months, there Is no such
beer worship as 10 seen here In Munich.
Much beer Is exported from Munich, but
Il is said that the richness Of favor de-
parts from 1t after expectation.

led your patience by writing too long q let
ter about some things you may have known
all about before. 30 Will say farewell till
arrive at Nuremberg, where perhaps, If
time permits. will write you again.
