Of the Government all the employees
being in the employ of the Government
At Berlin we found a superb railroad
station--a massive structure, beautiful
in architecture and complete in every de-
tail
"Berlin is city over 1000, 900 in
habitants. 1t is a progressive place in
every sense Of the word. Great wealth
exists among its inhabitants, beautiful
homes are found in every direction, the
business places handsome and attractive,
the hotels models of beauty and comfort
1t is here that Emperor William and the
royal family reside. Thousands of Wis
itors flock to Berlin from every quarter
of the globe. 1t is called the Paris of
Germany by many, and, indeed there
are those who do not hesitate to say that
it is going ahead of Paris. Our drives
to the parks our visit to the magnificent
statuary adjoining the city, view of the
various palaces and cathedrals was charm
ing IN every way.
"Charlottenburg, the old palace, with
its parks and gardens, is most interesting.
Here is the mausoleum where the beau
tiful Queen Louise and her husband are
intombed.
"At Berlin are stationed many
thousands of German soldiers Their
barracks are commolious and their
parade grounds, where the troops are re-
viewed by the Emperor, comprise hun
dreds of acres
Germany is paying great attention
to her army at this time. Her cavalry,
infantry and artillery are made to realize
that work and plenty Of it is the only
way to fit men to endure the hardships
of the camp and the march. 1t is evi-
dent on all sides that no time is being
lost by the Emperor of this great coun-
try to have his men in readiness for
emergencies, which may arise at any
moment under the present unsettled CON
ditions in Europe.
"Amusements of every description
are provided for the people. The opera
is patronized by the nobility and pros
porous classes, while the Winter Garden
and hundreds of theatres are nightly
packed with residents and strangers The
nights are turned into day, and at the
wee sma' hours shops, restaurants and
places of business are wide open, while
the streets-that is, in certain sections
are filled with men and women. The
morals Of the city is by no means to be
commended.
"When we asked our guide to show
us the section of the city where the pool
resided he informed us that there is ne
such place in Berlin. The houses o.
the workingmen were misunderstanding
clean and neat The children in thi,
section playing in the streets were wei
dressed, and all the homes looked com
Portable and tidy, and there were no poo
or beggars in Berlin.
TAKING THE WATER AT CARLSBAD.
'From this point we took the traiI

famous place is in Bohemia, Austria
and our trip was through somewhat
different section of the country. Ou

which was dotted with boats Of every de

Of mountains; here and there the ruin
of some old castle occupied in ye Older
days by the baron lords, who sought the
highest points for their fortress homes il
