A CITY OF SPIES.
Tho Espionage Practiced by the German
Government In Berlin.

Tho Espionage Practiced by the German
Government In Berlin.
There Is something specially degrading
about espionage, especially when practiced
by u national government as 10 is in Ger
many. This was brought very viyidly be-
fore me by the following incident: One
day there dined with me in u public res
taurant In Berlin an aged clergyman and
his wife. The former had occupied tho
same pulpit for over 40 years, had proved
a father To his parish, had been leader
in many liberal movements, and In all
ways had served his country nobly, while
the latter had for the same length OF time
been very great blessing to her neighbor-
hood for many leagues around.
In the course Of conversation / asked
him how he felt about the emperor's policy.
Before replying to me he turned and looked
anxiously about him in all directions, and
then said, "If Fritz had lived ten years
longer, things would have been different. I"
When / asked, "Were you looking about
for anythings" he said, "No, but one never
knows who may be listening, and it would
go hard with me il 1t were known that
expressed such opinions"
TO my surprise then learned that Ber-
lin was full OF spies Of all sorts, ready to
catch and report to the authorities the
slightest word rejecting unfavorably upon
the emperor, his family or his actions, and
that on such reports many persons, espe-
cially young men, had been seized by the
police and kept in prison for months-one
because in the heat Of discussion he had
said the emperor was u schafskopf. When
I asked my guests what they thought OF
suoh system, they looked mysterious and
declined to reply.
afterward spoke Of the matter to sew
aral persons, who. whether from fear or
conviction cannot tell, informed me that
they thought it quito right that the EN-.
peror, his family and actions should be
above criticism, and that he should enforce
this rule. learned also afterward that
the president IF the Berlin Ethical society,
q man Of eminent scientific attainments,
had been imprisoned for three months for
venturing in public address to express
views on socialism different from those OF
the emperor, although he did SO without
naming him. l could not help feeling
that the Germans We're paying dearly foi
their empire. Professor thomas David

Jenny Linda prccOcity.

"Jenny Lind could not have been more
than years old when she woke up the old
spinet i'm the attic to repeat under her tiny
fingers fanfare that a band used To play
in passing her home. This was the first
music that broke upon her ears" TO
cords Mrs. Raymond Maudc, her daughter,
who writes of MY Mother as l Recall
Her" i'm Tho Ladies' Home journal.
"Therc Is also a cat story, continues
Mrs. Mautle, her voice having been no
ticed as singing to her cat, but l won I
give any credit TO that, and will pass on
to her ninth year, when the director of the
theatcr and opera school at Stockholm was
induced TO hear her and To accept her as a
pupil. At this school she also learned de.
pertinent and gesture. in which she was
always perfect, and which all her life made
her bearing and carriage SO stately as to
give her the appearance OF tall woman,
when she really was not more than feet
q. She was also Beautiful dancer, and
loved dancing, though seldom indulgine
in it-rcfraining for her health and art {
sake, as she used TO say, since ii tired he!
too much. y
Mrs. MaUdc notes that Jenny Lind ,
first teacher was Crplus, and also that
Garcia, one of her earliest instructors in
the technical art uf singing, is still living
in London. Jenny Lind began making
her professional tours ut an age when
most girls are being rendered and nurturcd
at home, and also coached fellow pupils
less gifted than herself, thereby gaining
knowledge and experience. Her first 'full
grown" appearance was made March Z,
1887, when she was between IL and IL.
Forty.six years later she sang for the last
time in public.

Somerville. Mass. May 1.-THE pub
lie hearing in the common council cham
ber last ever ing on the question whether
or not the streets should be watered on
Sunday was one of the liveliest ses-
slons held for some time. Standing
room was at a premium at an early
hour. Prominent people Of the city
turned out In force. and the gathering
was a notable one in many respects.
Bibles were on hand. as were petitions
of various lengths. Mayor "A. A. Perry
presided. During the hearing the op-
ponents of Sunday watering quoted fire.
auently from the Scriptures. Bibles
were frequently brought into use, and
on one occasion passage after passage
bearing on the subject was read. The
commandments were repeatedly quot
ed, until those who never heard them
before knew them by heart before they
went out. Some of the remarks were
very pointed, but the aldermen who de-
cided that the streets should be dusty
on Sunday had faraway look. They
did not even smile when referred to
as heroes noble men and martyrs. The
board took the matter under consid
erattOu.

And IL my fathers willing"
Her sober answer pleased the youth, y

He left her at her fathers door,
Too happy 10 be fearful.
She looked on high with earnest plea.
And heaven seemed bright above her,
And when she shyly spoke his name
Her father praised her lover.

With headboard high and olden.
Her prayer was praise, her pillow down,
And all her dreams were golden.
