Eating In Germany.

German roads and streets consist OF
residences and restaurants in al.era'
ton. There is a restaurant every
where in Germany, except in the tomb
of Emperor Frederick in Charlotten-
burg. The rule in Germany is to eat
something every time you sit down,
and to sit down every time you stop
walking The country is so arranged
that whenever you sit down you do so
in a restaurant. In following this rule
you may suffer some slight inconven-
fence for few days, but it will soon
pass away-or you will.
