EAT WELL IN GERMANY ALSO FREQUENTLY, ACCORDING TO AMERICAN WRITER. Four Regular Meals, With BetweanTime Bnacko, Enable the Well-to-Do Berliner to Keep Strength for Hie Work. The Englishman has no great variety of things to eat, but he is always eating them; and when he Is not eating them he is swigging tea. Yet in these regards the German excels him. The Englishman gains a lap at breakfast, but after that first hour the German leaves him, hopelessly distanced. far in the rear, writes Irvin S. Cobb, in the Saturday Evening Post. It is due to his talents in this respect that the average Berliner has a double chin running all the way around, and four rolls of fat on the back of his neck, all closely clipped and shaved, so as to bring out their full beauty and symmetry; and he has a figure that makes him look as though an earthquake had shaken loose everything on the top floor and it had all fallen through into his dining room. Your true Berliner cats his regular dally meals—four in number and all large ones; and in between times he now and then gathers a bite. For instance, about ten o'clock in the morning he knocks off for an hour and has a few cups of hard-boiled coffee and some sweet, sticky pastry with whipped cream on it. Then about four o'clock In the afternoon he browses a bit, Just to keep up his appetite for dinner. This, though, is but a snack—say, a school of Bismarck herring and a kraut pie, some more coffee and mare cake, and one thing and another —merely a preliminary to the real food, which will be coming along a little later on. Between acta at the theater he excuses himself and goes out and prepares his stomach'for supper, which will follow at 11 o’clock, by drinking two or three steins of thick Munich beer, and nibbling on such small tidbits as a few links of Gerfiian sausage or the upper half of a raw Westphalia ham. There are 47 distinct and separate varieties of German sausage and three of them are edible; but the Westphalia ham, in my judgment, is greatly overrated. It is pronounced Westfailure with the accent on the last part, where it belongs. In Germany, however, there is a pheasant agreeably smothered in young cabbage which is delicious and in season plentiful. The only drawback to complete enjoyment of this dish is that the grasping and avaricious German restaurant keeper has the confounded nerve to charge you, in our money, 40 cents for a whole pheasant and half a peck of cabbage—say enough to furnish a full meal for two tolerably hungry adults and a child. Something Added. There were half a dozen sitters in the barroom of a tavern at Point Jefferson, L. 1., when Deacon Denton dropped in in search of a man to work for him. He had a big comforter around his neck, and was rubbing bls hands, and was asked: “Do you call this purty cold deacon?” "Fourteen below,” he replied. “Oh. no; it can’t be that.” "I looked at the thermometer as I left home.” “But it isn't even freezing." "Fourteen below!” There was a long minute ot silence, with all the men winking at each other, and at last the deacon felt a twinge of conscience and observed: "But I wish to add that I had drunk three glasses ot hard cider with my supper, and that thermometer hasn't been very reliable since it got run over by a load of hay'last summer. Mebbe the right figger is 14 above. I am on my way to prayer meeting, and I may get some sort of guidance there. If the spirit moves me then she’s above; if the spirit don't then she’s 14 below and still a-dropping.” Russian Singer Is Popular Idol. Ten years ago some Russian women who owned a country estate became interested in a sixteen-year-old girl who had been one of the village waifs until she entered their service, and to give them pleasure she sang Russian folk songs to her patronesses in the evening. One evening a young officer, Wialsewar, who was visiting the house, heard the girl Vera, fell in love with her and offered her a career in a gipsy chorus in St. Petersburg. She returned to Russia, where she kept on giving concerts to aid the war victims, although her busband upon hfs death from the wounds he received left her an ample fortune. And today Vera Wialsewar still goes from town to town singing with the gipsy choruses and taking part in great entertainments. Not Trustworthy. Ona often sees advertisements requiring people for a position of trust "without family.” Hore is Cobbett’s view of their probable trustworthiness: “There are comparatively very few women not replete with maternal love; and, by the bye. take you care if you meet with a girl who 'is no* fond of children’ not to marry her by any means. ... I never knew a

man who was good for much who had a dislike to little children, and I never knew a woman of that taste who was good tor anything at all.”
