FREEDOM IN GERMANY.

your German citizen who has lived for
any length Of time in the fatherland misses
I'm these days the liberties he enjoyed in
his native country" remarked r. a.
Herold, Of Hof. Bavaria at the New Eb-
bitt. In saying this / am not criticisng
America. which Is the greatest country in
the world, but the wave Of reform that
has spread over the United States has
caused many a German To wish that he
was back on his own soil again, especially
on Sundays The Germans enjoy greater
measure of personal liberty, | believe, than
the people OF any other nation.
1t cannot be gansald that Germany is
quite as religious as the United States. Its
people are piOus church going citizens who
are as devout in their religious beliefs as
any others, but they are not so narrow in
their views that they must abstain from
all enjoyments on the Sabbath. All through
Germany Sunday is observed by religious
services in the churches, but In the even

and enjoy themselves over their beverages.
Heads Of families take their entire flock 10

do not drink beer as the Americans do. \

CHINESE sINosoNo GIRLS.

"Singsong" girls Of China are first cous-
ins 70 the geishas OF Japan. These young
ladies vary in age from sixteen 10 thirty
and arc chosen for their physical and
their artistic attractiveness. The sing
song girls are habited in coat and trousers
OF the finest silk. satin or brocade. The
former is cut very much in the style Of a
French ouvrier's blouse and the latter are
cylindrical, falling to the ankles and dis
closing the finest silk hosiery and the
daintiest embroidered shoes.
At an understood interval one or the
singsong girls comes forward 10 play an
instrumental solo. II is more or less a
fantasia on two notes. the pitch lying az
about f. in the treble clef with squeaky
high excursions. No sheet Of music Is

Sometimes there is a tremendous racket

THE TURKISH ARMY.

Every Mohammedan subject in Turkey is
liable 70 service and remains liable for
twenty-five years. At twenty-one the
young Turk enters the active army. the
Nizam, and remains in it for three years
He must then serve six years in the re-
serve. called the Tchtrad. and after this
he remains nine years in the army re-
serve. called the Redif, which resembles
the German Landwehr. This reserve has
a second line called the Mustahs, in which
the citizen liable to service is finally en-
rolled.
Every year produces about 10000 men
liable 10 service, and Of this number 7oco
are enrolled as recruits. The remainder,
that is 10 say the least effective, are gwen

The long felt want Of a social service
department in the Brooklyn Hospital is
about to be filed Many philanthropic
persons In the city have become inter-
ested IN the movement. and steps are
10 be taken 10 establish a department
which will reach the needy and deserving.

Miss Finneran. a graduate of the Brook
lyn Hospital is the only social worker
there at present.
short time ago. at a meeting held at
the hospital, Miss Mary E. Wadleigh, who
has charge Of the social service bureau
Al Bellevue told how the work Of her de-
partment was conducted. The Rev j.
Howard Mellish was present at the meet
ing and substituted the reading OF a paper
with his ideas on the subject.
The work outlined for the hospital So
cial service is in the line OF aid for the
doctor in his diagnosis and treatment by
becoming familiar with the existing home
conditions OF the patients.
When the department was first estao-
lshed at Bellevue there was only one
nurse. but within a short time II became
recognized as so important a part OF the
real work Of a hospital that assistants
have been added from time TO time.
In the meeting held to consider the
plan one case was cited in Miss Wad-
leigh's paper which showed the necessity
Of establishing a social bureau. poor
woman had been endeavoring to support
large family and a sick husband on the IS
a week which she was able to earn by
scrubbing. When found by the social
worker her condition was pitiable. The
husband died in few days. The poor
woman was in despair. She herself was
about to give birth to child and was at
tended by the social worker. She re-
ceived the best of care and her children
were looked after by the worker Thus
the woman was nursed through critical
period, and when able to leave her bed
found her children well cared for and
happy. Employment was found for her,
and to-day the family is much better off
than II would have been without the In
tervention Of the social worker.
