A. PEEP INTO BERLIN
RIXDORF, THE WHITECHAPEL OF THE GERMAN CAPITAL.
TIieve Are \o SIhiiin, and Everything 1M uad Clean a:id Under Police Control In tlie Quarter Wlier* .tiie VverjJng People Live.
Nothing iu Berlin so much impresses me as Rixuorf, the AYhitPchapel of the Gerftiiu capital.
You know the east end of London— the stilling courts, the grimy alleys, the roaring taverns, the tattered children, the suffocating reek of frying fish and I tlit* groups of gossiping slatterns at every gloomy doorstep. Now let me show how another European city houses its working classes. Come with me into the "slums" of Berlin.
From the center of the city, with ita splendid houses and its ceaseless shops, an electric tram carries one swiftly to Rixdorf, a district connected by every possible means with every quarter of the city, however fashionable or magnilicent. And when you reach it you scarcely know that you have left the fashionable and magnificent quarters at all. for on every side of you are spa cious streets, with trees planted at tlis curb, and on the other hand tall white palaces rising up with solid dignity toward a clear sky huge houses, bright and speckless. with wide doorways, many shining windows and iron railed balconies, where creepers twine and children play splendid and noble' houses, such as you would look for with diliiculty in almost any quarter of Landoni^it is here th it the working classes of Berlin live out tneir careful, thrifty and laborious lives.
The jerry builder does not exist iu Berlin. As soon as haul falls vacant if is purchased by companies of recogui :ed repute, often by banking houses, and only such streets are planned which meet all the requirements of sanitation and art. The houses are built, and the working classes enter them, the well off renting the grounc and lirst floors, the poorer folk mounting to the floors above. From the doorstep to the fan light in the roof everything. is clean and orderly.
I have had the pleasure of entering some of these flats and talking to their owners. 1 found the interiors no whit less pleasing than the magnificence of the facades. Here, for instance, is the home of a man who keeps a little greengrocer's shop in his front room. On the walls are shelves bright with polished china and tin. A stove filled with hot bricks diffuses a pleasant warmth and shines in all its tiles with the labors of the housewife. A table spread with a neat clotli occupies the center of tine room and is set out with the frugal tea of the little family. The grandmother, with a warm shawl over her shoulders, sits in a high backed chair beaming at her visitors. The good housewife, radiantly clean, hangs over the back of the chair, nodding a sympathetic head at every twist of the conversation. Big and burly, leaning against the wall, with his cap in his hand, his arms folded across his deep chest, is the master of the household— an ex-seaman, with shining dark eyes, black hair and a red face.
The big boar hound which pulls the vegetable cart through the streets presses his full weight against the legs of the English visitor and drives him slowly and resolutely to the wall, where he holds him prisoner till the master, laughing, and the housewife, apologizing, call him off. We learn from these good people that they hav».» their hard times and that it is often difficult to dress the children as they could wish, but nevertheless they never go .short of food—no, no that does not happen in Berlin. As for work—why, life would be a poor thing without it. and there is usually an hour or two in the evening when they can go and hear music at the cafe. Oh. yes they are comfortable enough, and Berlin is pretty good as cities go. But the country—ah. that's fine, that is!
But everywhere, even in this orderly quarter of the city, there is evidence of what the Berliners hate and resent more than anything else—"the control." "Look!" said my guide, a workingman, as we mounted the stairs of one of these Rixdorf palaces. His hand pointed to a door on the first floor, and I raw to my amazement that it was a police office. "Yes," he said bitterly, "they live with us even in our houses! The control always the control!" I asked to be allowed to enter, and, having a magic name on my lips as an in' troduction, I was permitted to inspect the place. The police greeted me in a peasant fashion, taking their cigars irorn their mouths and pausing in their games to give me information. As we passed out ao.d. stood for a moment looking at the photographs and descriptions of missing citizens on the wall I '"-old my guide that the police seemed to me agreeable enough. "They are all right," he said, "but they are only the strings. The people who puil the Btrings—ah, those are the evils! You should see them! Oh, my keavens, you should!"
But I saw no brutalizing evidence of the control in my wanderings. I entered little beer houses, comfortable 'places, with tables and chairs and music going cheerfully through the evening, and saw no check upon the enjoyment of the people. They have their beer gardens in Rixdorf, their music halls and their places for I jtures and Socialist meetings. They walk through the broad streets and pay lis at each other's houses and crowd

TRAVELING IDEALIZED.
Car Window* Tlint Will Xot Stick tlio I.iitent Step In Advance.
The car window that will
Utopian
contrivance has
just successfully passed through tho experimental stage on the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, where it has been tried out as a feature of new, model day coaches in the express service 6n the division running through pilgrim land between Boston and Wood's Holl.
Instead of bruising his fist with pounding to "start the thing going" and laming his muscles with lifting to keep it up. the passenger raises the new window simply by pressing to-' gether two little levers fitted into the casement just at his elbow. The levers look like Ihose already made familiar by railroad car window shades, and indeed tliey operate in just the same way. A stout piece of cloth extends from the top of the sash to a roller With a ciii'innr ic .iIivmvw I
height of about six inches. Not only is the new car window easy to put up. but it stays put. The springs at the side hold it in place wherever you let go the levers, and there are no more of the uncomfortable starts the old fashioned windows give by suddenly dropping with a bang whether any one's fingers or elbow may be in the way or not. Pressing the level's together and pushing down gently closes this model window as easily as it is opened.
So satisfactory do the New Haven officials and their passengers find this new feature of equipment that it is to be utilized iu all the company's new cars. In fact, its general use seems inevitable. for the millennial car window has solved one of the most trying problems that have ever confronted the passenger officials of the railroads.
Some Royal Nicknames.
The entente is making the Paris journalist uncommonly curious about English manners and customs. He ha^ discovered that we have a mania for nicknames. It began in the royal family, spread rapidly through the aristocracy and is now the joy of the middle classes. King Edward when he was Prince of Wales was known to the populace as "Teddy Walles." He is now called "the Governor." The late Duke of Clarence was nicknamed "Collars and Cuffs also "Lemonade and Claret." The Duke of York is "the Sardine," and Lord Ilibblesdale is "Old Rhubarb." Some of these nicknames are rather obscure. The most striking revelation, however, is that the hereditary Princess of Roumania is called "Missie," a sobriquet which "she shares with Prime Minister Balfour."—London Chronicle.
Proposal by Photograph.
Marriage among royalties is a matter for the chancelleries rather than Cupid, but the German t*rown prince, who married the Duchess Ceeile cheated the chancellor by making a proposal as poetical and as grhceful as the mind of any Bayard could conceive Tney were stopping at Schwerin castle, and both, being enthusiastic anglers, conducted their courtship through the aid of rods end reel. One afternoon the prince, being unsuccessful in the sport, dropped the rod for a small camera which he carried, and among other pictures taken was one of the duchess just as she was about to land her fish.
That evening she received a finished copy of a picture beneath which her royal lover had written, "Gefangen— und ich auch" ("Caught—and I also").
Electric Train Bnlletins
An ingenious electric train bulletin has been installed by the Chicago and Alton Railway company in a number of its stations and in some of the principal hotels in cities and towns through which its trains run. The device resembles a clock in appearance, a hand moves on a dial and indicates whether the train is on time, or, if not, how many hours or minutes it is late. All these bulletins in one town act simultaneously and indicate the same fact. The operator at the station controls them all, using a device similar to a telegraph instrument controlled by a telegraph key.
A Molting: Lobster.
Recently a lobster in one of the aquarium tanks cast his skin. The process lasted about half an hour. A split appeared in the thin skin just in front of tho first joint of- the tail (abdomen), and through this opening the lobster slowly withdrey the fore part of his body, legs and feelers. Then with a jerk the tail was withdrawn. The old skin was left intact and absolutely perfect.—Letter in London Mail.
Military Breastplate.
Probably the thinnest and lightest breastplate evei invented has just been brought to the attention of the Italian military authorities by Dr. Guerrazzi of Pisa, where tests have

farious traffic. At length Sheridan could stand it no longer, and, rising in his seat, he one day delivered so passionate an impeachment of the system that the whole house rose as one man, with loud cries of "Name, name, or withdraw!''
This was a position for which Sheridan had scarcely bargained, for none knew better than he how invidious a thing it would be to publicly identify the individual with the deed. At the same time, so strongly did he feel upon the point that nothing short of his innate good breeding restrained him from taking the plunge. Then his kindly mother wit stepped in and saved him. "Gentlemen," said he, "were it not that respect for the traditions of this house seal my lips, I could name that gentleman as easily as you could say 'Jack Robinson.' "—London Mail. „...
Seeking Safety Iu Numbers.
Dr. R. J. Baldwin, secretary of th* Southern Educational conference, patted a little Mobile colored boy on the head. "This little boy," he said, "failed in an examination last week. It was au examination on the Bible, and the firsl question the teacher asked was, 'How many commandments are there?' "The little boy thought awhile, ant, then he answered, A hundred.' 'A hundred! No of course not said the examiner. 'That will do fo you.' "And the little boy went out sadlj. He had failed. "But he hung about the building, and In a half hour another boy appeared. He was on the way to the examiuatioc too. He asked the boy who had failed what questions'had been put to him and the unhappy failure answered: 'The teacher wanted to know how many commandments there were. What will you say when he asks you that?' 'I'll say ten,' was the reply. "The boy who had failed laughed loud and long. 'Ten!' he cried. 'Well, just try hirf with your ten. I tried him with a hu*» dred and he wasn't satisfied.'Oii cJuuati Kncjv/iyer-
Making Wives Happy.
"it
seems to me that the way
make a woman happy is to give her all your sympathy and affection," says Dr. Edward Brooks in Rochester Herald. "As for overlooking any faults, a man ought not to see any faults in his wife. If it does happen that there are a few very patent ones—and I suppose there are some women who are not exactly angels—a man ought not to see them any more than he sees the spots on the sun when it is shining brilliantly in the heavens, and he ought to remember that no matter what disillusions he may experience after marriage it was he himself who undertook the responsibility of taking to himself a young woman that he promised to love and honor."
Hidden Trenanre In England.
In England when hidden treasure is found the law requires the coroner to hold an inquest over it. Formerly It was a coroner's duty to hold an inquest in case of a burglary. A statute of Edward I. decrees that "wrhen coroners are commanded by the king's bailiffs or by the honest men of the county they shall go to the places wHicre any be slain or suddenly dead or wounded or where houses are broken or where treasure is said to be found and shall forthwith command four of the next towns, or five, or six, to appear before him in such a place."
