NOTES FROM BERLIN.

New streets and squares are going up
in Berlin so rapidly that many of them
are not yet officially christened. Just
at present there are 43 such nameless
ones.
In comparison with the other capitals
OF the world Berlin occupies the small
est site and shows the most crowdinR.
AS to the number of houses, for in
stance, London has 100000; Greater
New York, 10000; Paris, los, 900; Ber-
lin, 23,307, and the area covered is 3,O42
hectares for London, 1882 for New
York, 966 for Paris, $50 for Berlin.
The only black bandmaster in Ger
many is full-blooded East African
negro named Sabac ell Cher. He leads
the band of the East Prussian grena-
dier regiment, and is just now finding
much favor with the public at the Dres-
den international art exposition. He re-
ceived his entire education in Germany,
and is a graduate of the High School of
Music in Berlin.
According to the present state of
fortification and of gunnery, the an
cicnt walls and towers of a score OF
German fortified cities are no longer
of practical use, and negotiations are
pending between those cities and the
military authorities of the empire to
obtain permission fer tearing down
these walls, and erect streets, parks and
houses in their stead.
Owing to the fact that it is one of
the German servant girls duties to
shine shoes, and that the porters at
tend to it ut the hotels, there are few
bootblacks in Berlin. In fact, there
are but six-one at each of the leading
depots. Their trade, of course, comes
from arriving travellers. 1t is curious
to see among the patrons of these
bootblacks who ply their vocation in
the open more women than men.
Emperor William pays for his rail-
road traps on the German roads the
| sdme as other mortals. The average
annual receipts from the emperor dur
| ing his reign to the Prussian road alone
amount to over 100000 marks. For
himself and his retinue the cost of rail-
| road travel for every 100 Ei,omelers
| (about G5 milcs) is 2,4C0 marks (G0O).
The cars used by him are his private
| property. His favoritc train is white
and gold-very pretty to look at.
