Pleasures of Brussels.

A friend who has been in Brussels for some time, writes most tantalizing accounts of the delicious cakes and pastries which may be consumed with cups of chocolate and cream in the popular rendezvous there, says a writer in London Evening New%. None of the custard or crumb-filled confections we have become accustomed to here, but cakes etui ted with icing accompanied by almond paste, etc. He tells me that many of the improvements made in the city by the Germans during their occupation art* of the ct>stly and permanent type, which Illustrates the German view that Jthey would keep Brussels. DrainagX systems were altered, electric lighting was installed in parts which had hitherto ! been devoid of it, and dancing hhlls were provided.
