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 crowding.
AS to the number of houses, for in
stance, London has 100000; Greater
New York 10000; Paris, 10000; 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 a fuu-blooded East African
negro named Sabac ell Cher. He leads
the band of the East Prussan grena-
der regiment, and is just now finding
much favor with the public at the Ores
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
fertilization and of gunnery, Ahe an
cient 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 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
sumo 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 2,4OO marks (6O0).
The cars used by him are his private
property. His favorite train is white
and gold-very pretty to look at.

III You Are Dead Broke Own Up Like
Little Man.
Dead broke is not an accurate term.
1t is relative. A millionaire considers
himself dead broke when he finds that
he has only V in his pocket. Men of
less means think they are dead broke
when they can find but quarter or a
half in their pockets. But with the
mass of people who haven't very much,
even when at their best, dead broke
means that condition in which a man
finds himself without a nickel in his
pockets. Pennies don't cut any ice.

At last the woman's edition was out.
Several columns of delectable literary
matter had been crowded out and as
many heartaches resulted. Mrs. De-
Laney, who had written an article on
"Lunaville's Love Tales" came into the

"Mrs. Crackle," said she "you took
extreme pains to snub me. Asked me
to write for you and never used it, after
had told all my friends. Mrs. Crackle,

She did not wait to find out that no
such article had come to the office. But
the day before Christmas, as she went
through her husbands pockets, she
came across a crumpled, dirty paper,
and at the top she read: "Lunaville's
