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 40 such nameless
ones.
In comparison with the other capitals
of the world Berlin occupies the small
est site and shows the most crowding.
As to the number of houses, for in
stance, London has 100000; Greater
New York, 100000; Paris, 900; Ber-
lin, 23,307, and the area covered is 3,042
hectares for London, 1882 for New
York, 966 for Paris, $50 for Berlin.
The only black bandmaster in Ger
many is fun-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 graduate of the High School Of
Music in Berlin.
According to the present state Of
fertilization and of gunnery, the an
cient walls and towers of 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 for 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 at 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
same 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 kilometers
(about 65 miles) is 2,400 marks (600)
The cars used by him are his private
property. His favorite train is white
and gold-very pretty to look at.

Two Danish explorers, but recently re-
turned from the center of Asia. have
made the discovery of race Of fire
worshipers who must be added to the
list of known races. They are totally
uncivilized. and are, moreover, pigmies
as compared with other specimens of
the human race. Their popularity ex-
tends, moreover, to their domestic ami
mails, their sheep being little larger
than fox terriers, and their cattle no
larger than the ordinary foal. Their
only trade Is the bartering of furs.
while woman can be bought for five
sows or IS sheep. The explorers found
these natives very timid, and ready to
take to their heels at the smallest provo
cation.

urine and let 1t stand twenty four hours;
sediment or settling indicates an I'M

urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney

proof that the kidneys and bladder are
