He did so. and the man was given the cure for the whisky habit. When he was discharged from the sanitartum the fiXst thing he did was to go to Il saloon. He called for whis- ky.

The Hub of the German Ep.Ir.

Unter den Linden Is the center spot of Berlin and the hub of the German empire. This magnificent boulevard is 19S feet In width. and under the shade of It's lime trees the BerIiners have meeting place which Is equal in architectural beauty to any In Eu- rope. It Is lined on either side with magnificent hotels, restaurants and palaces. At the east end Of Cnter den Linden, where 1t enters upon the Opera House platz, stands the magnificent monument of Frederick the Great, which is worthy of the real founder or United Germany. To th. right of this monument Is the palace of the Emperor William l.. now occupied by Prince Heinrich. The north side of the Opera piatz Is occupied by the buildings of the University of Berlin. and next to 1t stands the Royal libra. ry, which rivals that at the British museum both in it's size and the num- Der Of volumes 1t contains The op- era house itself is on the south of the platz and is q building of nation of music lovers like the GerIhans.- naut

The Chair of Torture.

The most prominent building in the ancient city of Nuremburg iS the cas- tie. One of it's two towers Was uSea for torture, the other served as a prison. The castle also contained museum of horrors until il was Far- chased by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, in whose possession these rel les now lie. One of these was the chair of torture. It was very heavily made and studded over the seat and at the elbows with blunt topped spikes To 1t the victim was tightly bound, and in a short time discomfort began to manifest itself and iu time became unbearable. During Its continuance the torture was increased in several ways by means of wedges being pass ed between the legs and screws being applied to the thumbs until they be- gan to bleed.

And, if so, where are they:
 1estordlT heard it argued that there va$ no cause for a woman 10 lose an arm; that women do not go to the wars and are not engaged ln occu- pations that are likely to carry away 2 part of their body. But that rea- soninc Is not sound. Many women work in miis and factories, and they are as liable to accidents in the .reets and public convcyancGs= as men. Ere Quently they figure in these accidents but, although men in the same situa tioH would lose an arm. women never do.
