late then to back up and take fresh

had him in q box they were deter

hit upon an idea to extricate himself
from the difficulty, and that was to
pay the litigants the amount each
claimed out Of his own pocket. The
matter was finally adjusted in this
way, the litigants made happy and

The Enclish Comic Song

The British comic song has finally
acknowledged it's condition.. No long
er can it rely on mere words and be
dull enough. This proposition may be
difficult to understand in view Of some
efforts that have been heard here in
recent years; but it is true that the
brain of the comic balladist is finally
weary. Ellaline Terriss sings music
hall song in Ellis Excellency'' which
might be taken as the swan song of
it's class. Its only articulate words are
'Umpty, umpty, aye" and "Jim, jam,
that's the sort Of girl am The rest
of the humor and the wit is supplied
by means Of bladder which Miss
Terriss has on the end Of a string at
tached to a small wand. After she
had sung "Umpty, umpty, aye" for
eighteen or twenty times, and "Jim,
jam, that's the sort Of girl am for
as many more, she simply bangs the
bladder on the stage. That finishes
the song. 1t is really tremendous
| Improvement over other English com
ic songs. If the English music hall
singers had bought bladders instead OF
hiring song-writers, no end of worry
might have been saved this suffering
country AS a mere matter Of compar-
ison, how much wittier and brighter
are the thuds Of a bladder than the
sound Of such words as ''Umpty, ump.
1 ty, aye" The British comic song will
recover some of it's waning popularity
if the writer's Of tho words retire III

CHEAP LIVING IN GERMANY.

As Low Now in Hamburg ms When
1t Was n Free Port.
The enormous strides which Ger
many has made during the last quar-.
ter of a century-that is, since it's uni
fication-are nowhere more apparent
than at Hamburg, now the first CON-
mercial port and center Of the empire
In it's old days, hardly a dozen years
ago, when, retaining it's ancient Hans
eatic privileges as a free port, it adj
mitted all goods from other countries
without toll, it was looked upon with
considerable envy by other cities Of the
confederation. BY far the richest COM:
munity then in proportion to it's size.
it had it's own local administration, SO
powerful taht it could dictate terms
even to the central government. Yet
it gave way at last, and was enrolled
in the great German Zollverein, tax
ing foreign goods at the nominal rates
of imposition. just as in all the rest of
the empire, but reserving to itself Ger,
tain privileges OF making it's own laws
and preserving a sort of autonomy.
1 knew Hamburg as free port, and
made careful notes of the prices of
commodities This last week I have
again noted carefully the prices, rs
marked in the shop windows, made
close inquiries besides, and compared
them with English and French. And
it appears to me the cost of living un-
der the new regime is very little, if
any, more than previously, which,
compared with English cities Of equal
size, is little enough. Provisions of all
kinds are no dearer and generally both
cheaper and better than in England;
household furniture and the entire me.
mage for an apartment is far prettier
better made, more commOdiaus and
complete than anything of the kind in
England and France, is less costly
than in both, and, compared with
France, say, without hesitation, is sc
per cent less. ".s'@ 2H
Rent is exceedingly moderate; quite

we are going to have good trade again
