At fh ? svrhui (.-ich nationality can dine r ..-.?..?<?,-.i-- to its particular taste, crn>k>. ?> i.e.- principal European countries being i:? tstaff. The estab lishment. ;! though all its appointments are excellent, is no1 very well patronized, probably b.-causo its tariff is too high for Berlin. The hotel tables d'hote of this city mainly differ from those of the famil iar German watering places in the com pany using less cosmopolitan. At the quieter ones considerable sociability pre vails, helped, no doubt, by the old custom of the landlord taking the head of the table and dining with the guests. The Berliner loves soups, of which he has a large variety. Some of the most favored "stippen" are "Feiner Gries in Milch" (milk tea wirh eggs floating on top of it), "ouppu von Rindfleisch mit gebackeneni Mark'.' (beef tea with bulls of marrow, eggs, an:! bread crumbs). GEItMAK NATIONAL IUSIIES. There are a number of German national dishes, the merits of which can not be gainsaid. Goose with stuffing of pounded chestnuts, prunes and apples mixed with calf's liver, onions, eggs, and various spices, is a standard dish at'most restau rants of the city. Yen can also have par tridge c? okeil .'md wrapped up in vine leaves, with rashers of bacon, and fowls cooked in jelly. Roast partridges with 'sauerkraut is a good variation of the French p^rdrix aux choux. Rehbruten (venisou) with cream sauce is not to be despised, and smoked Pommeraninn goose breasts, Westphalia hams, Brunswick sausages, and sundry other German house dishes, many of which are also exported, have gained a world-wide renown. The partiality of the Germans for beer appeals in several departments of cookery. Beer soup is common enough, and so is beer sauce, especially with carps and eels, for which the best of "weiss beer" is used. Beef stewed in beer aud flavored with spices is a favorite dish. Among Kalte schaleu (cold drinks) "Bier Kaltechalea" holds the first place. Every known veg etable, when cooked plain, i> eaten cold as a salad, besides which there is herring salad* with the fish chopped fine mixed with potatoes, onions, apples, and pepper, and moistened with .od, vinegar, and cream. To wash down the miscellaneous solidj there is a choice of very different wines, Eeer, which has supplemented wines at the dinner tables of some of the best Vienna hotels, is not countenanced by the higher class restaurateurs and hotel keepers of Berliu, with whom the con Eumption of wine is a matter of stern ex pectation. Tiie average Berliner in his judgment of wine is guided largely by the label 0:1 the bottle and the seal on the cork. The time lor dinner at the principal ho tels is 6 o'clock. A very fair dinner can be Lad for $1.25. The higher class restau rants. Tutor den Linden, Wilhelmstrasse, Bellevnestrasse, and the West End, are the test places for becoming acquainted with the current of public, opinion. At these a good dinner, without wine, can be had for seventy-live .cents and upward. There are hundreds of le^s expensive din ing places in Berlin, and an excellent din ner may evcu be obtained at some res taurants Cor twenty-live cents. At all these establishments table nap kins are supplied, iiut generally of tissue paperwit.ii a colored ornamental border, not only because paper is cheaper than linen, but as a protection against pilfer ing. So common are paper table napkins iu Berlin that the manufacturers adver tise them regularly in the newspapers at the rate of d2 a thousand, about five for a cent. TBE GOLDEN SAUSAGE. An enterprising proprietor of one of these popular restaurant has Instituted what he call the "Dinner of the golden sausage," the great attraction of which is the insertion in every thirtieth sausage lor his guests of a small gold coin (about JI), which becomes tho property of the indlvi lual to whose lot it chances to fall. Tbc giics:.-. of the place are seated around the numerous tables, each of which ac commodates thirty persans. All the eat ers ai .? ::ej\ mg their jaws most cautiously. Of th? favored by fortune- some are un able ;? u.oicofii their satisfaction, while othei - '17 to convey the coin unperccived from :.':>.? mouth to the pocket. As a mat ter arse every one is obliged to mas ticate i:is food slowly, instead of bolting it in the American fashion, otherwise the tiny .roid coin might olip down his gullet unawar s. Sh ild your engagements occupy you until past ! o'clock in the afternoon and compel you to forego dining until that hour, yon must make up your .mind to Trait until time for supper comes or not din.- l! 'II. This is the invariable custom her.-, if you enter a restaurant hungry after V.? !; the waitorof the most m sikuitlc. nl of these places will present you on y 'iii arrival with a bill of fare of the cust i-ii try enormous proportions, '?11 whi::: figure some hundred hors d'euvres, Fisch, !L-maso, Braten, Mehlspeisen, and Sa'. V'. u f;:iaiiy ask him what he has got, and 'S'.hw rkasc mit Butter" is the invaiiaMe ;<-ei.-- Perhaps in the place of the Schweitzer yon may secure some Limburger, which enjoys the reputation of smelling most abominably and tasting mod ilclightfully. The last, however, may tu open to question, though not the foriu'.With your cheese and butter, "Scbwarzbrod" will certainly be brought yuu. This bread, made of rye, is said to possess the advantage oi tempering the effect? an excess of salted food.?Berlin Ccr. New York Sun.

Wayne county, may be seen at this . season of tho year lurge fields of green j colored plants about eight Inches in hlght I extending over an extensive area. To a j botanist inentha peperita is the name by which it is known, but to the world iu general it is peppermint. Iu this compara | tively small area seven-eighths of all tho peppormint in the world is raised. Tha ? low, mucky land, is plowed in the spring. I It is then laid off in furrows eighteen inches apart, and sets, portions of old plants, ure planted closely together in tho row. This is done early in April. The : roots ore transplanted every other year. It takes about eight square rods of roots as they lie upon the ground to plant nn aero. Tho roots that are planted this after the crop in gathered, will be trans planted In every other row for next year's crop. The liest year's crop is always the best, because the plant is then the freest from weeds. Usually they are allowed to run only two* years, after which tho ground is plowed under. When the plants have grown to about two and ono-half feet in h'rrht they ripen. The harvest begins usually in the last of August. It is cut liko clover, Owlth a cradle, and raked into cocks, when It is allowed to wilt a little before it is taken to the distillery. The process of distilla tion continues to tho last of October. Tho , plant is brought from the fields In large wagons and tightly packed in stcam ' tight vats. The steam is let into the bot tom of the vat, and the oil from the plants thus volitalizcd. The oily vapor and steam pass through a condensing worm into a receiver, where the oil, be i ing lighter than water, is dipped off and Is then put in tin cans holding twenty pounds and taken to the refinery, where it is refined and put into twenty-one ounce bottles in a case, labeled and shipped to , all parts of the civilized world.?Cor. Buf falo Express. The Penalty of Position. The pictorial treasures of the great Eng lish houses are accessible to the public, , but I once passed through a stately castle i in which 1 was a stranger, and determined I never to repeat the experience, for the housekeeper took me into rooms where the work baskets of the ladies still littered the tables; the very book? they had been reading were left unclosed, and I saw their rustling garments leaving by one door as I eutered at another. The thought that I had driven the family from their own occupations or amusements marred all the pleasure I received. It happened a few days afterward that I wa3 invited to the same house, and I told the ladies how guilty I felt for my Intrusion. But they forgave me. For the high English are very generous about their works of art, their parks, i their mansions, their historical collec tions. Nearly all give them up on ono day of the week to the world. They call it a "show day;" tho houso is a "show house," and tho annoyance of the exhibl ? tion must be very considerable. But they ! take this as they do the publicity of all their life, their exposure to observation and criticism?as the penalty of thoir posij t ion. They expect to bo conspicuous, to have their houses examined, their private history known. Their lineage is set down iii the peerage, and-the age of every great ludy-is declared In the books for all the world to road. Not a few recognize that they have obligations because of their riink and their grandeur. Not only aro thoy willing that their pictures and statuary shall be seen, but the poor often have a day in the week when they may hold picnics in the park. Even the queen, with all her love of seclusion, allows Windsor castle to. bo inspected when she is not there, and privileged strangers may visit her private apartments, a stretch of r.:ood nature which not many democrats would emulate.?Adam Badeau's Letter. Trlul by OrUoal In Kussla. A curious survival cf ordeal supersti tion still prevails to a very lurge extent in southern Russia. When a theft is com mitted in u household the servauts aro summoned together and a sorceress Is sent for. Should no confession be made by the guilty party the sorceress rolls up as many little bulls of bread as there are suspected persons present. She then takes one of these balls, and addressing ihe nearest servant, uses this formula: "If you have committed the theft the ball will sink to the bottom of tho vase, but if you are innocent it will tlo.it on the water." The accuracy of this trial, how s seldom tested, as the guilty person in variably confesses before his turn arrives :o undergo the ordeal.?Chambers' Jour nal. Preventing the Escape of Criminals. The difficulty of preventing the escape of criminals has at all times grieved the friends of justice, but tho most radical so lution of the problem has probably been devised in Gazi, a seaport town claimed by both the Emir of Belang and the sttl- I tan of Zanzibar. According to a corres pondent the municipal authorities, who enjoy a local autonomy, have for years saved the expense of burglar-proof jails by hamstringing their malefactors and teaching them to earn a living by somo sedentary occupation. Besides being use ful, the consequent lameness prevents a relapse, or at least the filght of a sus pected backslider. ?Exchange. - A Machine for Working Kainlc. A machine for working the ramie plant has just been completed in Pittsburg which is pronounced a success. The green | stems are introduced between rollers at one end of the machine, and, after passing between various others which hueklc, stretch, scrape and beat?the whole pro cess being aided by rt flowing jet of water which acts as a cushion, lubricant, and I lux? Hie liber comes out at the other end hi beautiful condition and effectually cleaned at one operation. It is claimed that the machine will make thousands of acres of waste lowland in the United : States capable of a annual yield.? Chicago News. When the Voice Fails. Dr. Morell Mackenzie, in his last book, "The Hygiene of the Vocal Organs," tells cs that the speaking voice usually begins :'o lose power and volume at between 50 and CO years of age. There is a curious corroborutlon of Dr. Mackenzio In Mr. John Brlght's collected speeches; for in the course of his great speech delivered in the rotunda at Dublin on Nov. 9, 1880, when Mr. Bright was 55 years old, he said: "I am very sorry that my voice Is not what it was; and when I think of tho work that is to be done, sometimes I feel it Is a pity we grow old so fa?t."
