BERLIN IS MACHINE MADE.
EnflUk Writer Call* It Stiff. Rlicld
and Rectilinear.
Was Berlin made last year or the
year before? It is Impossible to say
frotn looking at It. Some of the trees
hi the streets look at least ten years
! old, bnt they must have tieen planted
long before the city was thought of.
The bouses nnd the streets aud the
lampposts and the statues are all much
too neat nnd new to have endured the
rains of more thnu one winter. It is
all, In fact, quite too new to lie comfortable.
One feels afraid to sleep lu
any of the houses lest rheumutlsm
should lie lying In wait In rooms where
the plaster has not had time to harden.
I drove from the station iu a "droshkl"
with a monstrously old horse. Time
had bent his forelegs Into a very good
Imitation of a switchback railway, and
as we plodded solemnly along the
brand new asphnlt roadway, with the
brand new houses on either side and
an occasional brand new electric car,
: with a brand new driver in a brand
new uniform, I found myself wonderlug
what the old horse must think of It
all. One day he may have been grazing
in au open field, and when he passed
that way a week or so later he found a
new broad l?oulevard, with hotels and
shops aud churches nnd great blocks of
fiats, all sprung up like mushrooms.
Berlin, then, is a great deal too perfect
to be satisfactory. It is the machine
made, not the hand made, article
?It was very decidedly made, not
born. There Is no spontaneity In It, no
life. Compared to, say, Ixmdon, It is
| like a beautiful marble statue to a living
woman.
Berlin is. In fact an awful object
lesson to emperors and others who try
to make a capital city out of a respectable
village. It is easy to put up imposing
buildings?If you have the money?and
to cut out broad tree lined
roads and have everything neat and
nice and fine, but you only make your
village bigger and finer without making
It any the more a capital city.
There Is no getting away from the feeling
that Berlin is a vlllaire?n hlo> ttH.
| lage, a beautiful, rectilinear, new-ottt1
of-the-bandbox village, but a village all
: the game.?London Chronicle.
GIRGENTI THE BEAUTIFUL.
"No Place of Rnlnn In the World More
Beautiful Than Thla."
Every one has heard of Girgentl, as
of Syracuse, before coming to Sicily.
The most beautiful city of antiquity
has left an endearing name, and If the
Girgentl of today be far from the Agrlgentum
of Roman splendor and still
further from the Acragas of Greek
beuuty and magnificence it 1b still nobly
worth seeing. Even the least responsive
Imagination can hardly fall to
apprehend some Idea of what this town
must have been of old, when Acragas,
with its vast extent and over 200,000
inhabitants, looked out across the dark
blue waters of the Greek sea or Mare
Afrlcano from a lordly wilderness of
superb temples and magnificent buildings
of all kinds. Today l?v Is worth a
pilgrimage from the ends of the earth.
There Is perhaps no place or ruin In
the whole world more beautiful than
this. To see It, as the present writer
last saw It, In a golden sunset glow,
with the great temples gleaming like
yellow Ivory and the town Itself of a
dusky gold and the sea beyond and uplands
and mountains behind Irradiated
with a serene glory of light. Is to see
what will be for life an unforgettable
Impression, an ever deeply moving remembrance.
To localize the three loveliest views
in Sicily (and I fancy that most travelers
would agree with me) I should
peciry tnat rrom the terrace of the
Hotel Timed at Taormlna, that from
the monastery-hostelry of Madonna del
Tlndaro over Tyndarls and the Aeolian
Isles and that from the terrace of the
Hotel Belvedere on the south wall of
Glrgentl. looking out on the lovely
temples, the beautiful uplands and
9lopes ami the blue sea washing Porto
EmpeUoclo below.?Century.

Hospitality Is often nothing more

A secret Is never safe after some one
knows you have it.
If you are naturally rude It's pretty
hard to disguise the fact.
Are you so conceited that you be

back?
The trouble is some pushers are as
liable to push on the wrong side as on
the right.
