boulevards and woods of the Tier
garden. The history of the city is
modern and the general architecture
is new and more or less an imitation
of the best of all countries.
The Kaiser's Palace.
potsdam, the home of the kaisers
and suburb of Berlin, is very inn

and surrounding parks give back
ground to the two huge palaces that
has few rivals. The palace of the

Dresden, in the middle of South
km Germany, is a more attractive
blaze than Berlin 1t is the favorite
blaze for the Oxford American in

Fourth in the world, following the
