ket is divided into sections. First
comes the fish, all kinds, some on
Ice, some alive and swimming In lit
tie portable tanks. The fish women
dip them up in hand net and de-
liver them wriggling. Then comes
the cheese counters-their presence
not unsuspected-we hasten by them
to the egg stalls. The goods here are
graded. For stamped eggs one pays
more, but they are guaranteed to be
fresh, and are made good" If the
shell is brought back to prove the
egg was not as represented; tho mid
die grade, where one takes some
chances as to quality, Is less expen-
sive; and the third grade is the
cheap eggs for the poor and-pen-
sions. Then comes the section of
fresh meat stands. All the meat
sold here must be inspected and
stamped free from disease" before
being brought to market. Next ap-
pear the smoked meat and sausage
merchants, then poultry, pigeon,
ducks, wild game, etc. Across the
aisle occurring here, the fruit and
vegetable stands appear, after them
cooking utensils, flowers, bread bags,
porcelain ware, laces, etc. etc. AT
one o'clock the market closes, the
wares, counters, etc, are repacked
land by two p. m. the platz has been
cleaned and no sign of the thousands
of purchases made few hours be-
fore remains. One has to learn TO
hesitate and bargain; and we are
getting so we can trade like the
Dutch" We each have a market bag
and come home with them bulging-
the regulation style. The ice wagons
are driven by women, and It is won
|derful the quantity they can lift and
carry. The street cars stop only at
certain places, about two or three
blocks apart, called "halt stalls!
Every six or eight blocks the city
over, are stationed "droscken" or
cabs, a row OF them perhaps a block
in length. They are allowed to go
out only In turn, and driver return
ing from n trip goes to the end OF
the line and works up again. IL the
front horse is lame, or blind, or
white, one has to wait for some one
else to take a cab or accept as gra-
ciously as possible what fortune pre-
sents. Some OF them are pitiful look
Ing and l never saw so much wan
ton beating as is given them; but
suppose one could expect little else
from men In chronic state OF semi
inebrlation. Both tho dumb brute
and the other are 20 be pitied.
Whenever Il is necessary to take n
cab we try to get an electric one.
The automobile is n wonderful boon
to beast as we'll as man. The fare
is the same and the ride more enjoy
able. We had TO go to n new ad-

through the Thier Garten and down
"Sieges' Allie" This is the famous
allie OF Ancestors" At one end
near the Brandenburger Thor stands
an eQuestrienne figure. at the base
OF which is a large playing fountain.
At the other extremity is the famous
"Sigesauale." During the war with |
France in 1907 the "Quadriga by |

Is the remains OF the wall which at |
