These pillars are about fifteen feet high and they are by no means unornamgrtal. They are es big around asa flour barrel, but are octagonal in shape, and they are the most valuable guide that any city can have. They are connected with th | observatory of the city and there is a clock on | each of them that always gives the correct time. Above the clock there is a star showing the ‘oints of the compass, so that you can tell the | Strections from any place you may happen to be. low this star there is a globe which moves by machinery and which tells you the positions | of the stars from day to day.

You are not in Berlin long before you find that the emperor runs the city. The soldiers of his army are more dictatorial and offensive in their manners tham those of Russia, Germany | is supposed to have a free press, but a corre- | spondent cannot write anything against the | kaiser here any more than he could against the ezar in St. Petersburg. He may have one or two letters published, but as soon os they got back to Gormany he wili be invited to ieave the country. I heard today of an instance in which a Russian wrote something about the altan and the czar which was not pleasing to the Germans. He was told to leave Berlin and he had to go. Itis important to have a pass- port on you here in Germany, especially if you are moving about in places that are at all ques- tionable. There wasa man arrested for mur- der here not long ago. His arrest was unjust | snd unwarrantable and he tried to get damages, | but the courts said he could have none because | be didn’t happen to have his passport with bim at the time he was arrested. Speaking of the kairer, there is a good deal of the politician about hie nature and he is always coddling the working classes, and he tries to make capital with them as much as a buncombe Congressman does with his constituents. It is not many months sinc by his orders Berlin got new Sunday iaws and the stores are now | only open from 10 a. m. until 12, whereas they used to be open all day long. Now only ¢ cigar stores and the eating establishments are | open, and though the servants and laborer | have @ rest the people are disgusted. A great | many familes here have been accustomed to | buying their Sunday dinners from cook shops or of getting parts of them, euch as the ice cream and the roasts, from such places, Now they have to make them thomeelves or order them on Saturday, The closing is a good thing, for in the past the clerks had to. work in nearly all the stores until 10 o'clock at night and in the factories the laborers were forced to put in Sunday mornings in the cleaning of machinery. The police now enforce the closing of the stores and the people, though they growl, eubmit, HOUSE SERVANTS AND TIE POLICE. You can’t hireaservant girl here in Berlin without going to the police, and you have to make out two statements whenever you hire a servant. One of those statements ia for your landicrd and the other is for the police. ribe the girl Just asa passport does, giving her age, size und the color of her eyes and hair. plenty of grotesquely dresced figares ying Dill boards. The people advertise very well in the newspapers, aud altogether they make their wants known without defacing the buildings. THE GERMAN POLICE. Speaking of the German police, they put on more airs and are far more obnoxious to men of St. Petersburg. The Berlinese are eaid to havo been very modest and unasenming before the Germans whipped the French, but since then their con- WRAPS FOR WINTER Stylish Outdoor Garments That Will Be Popular. _— PLUSH AND VELVET MANTLE ——— For Young Misses—Cormmon Sense Must Be Exercised in Clothing the Elitie On Children's Parties—-Ingentous Devices for Concealing Baldness, ee Special Correspondence of The Eveninz Star.

But thie fillet is just the thing. Many women are not entirely bald, but their front bair is thin. They cannot have a really nice bang. They are thin at the temples and scraggly in the middle. For these there is bone that will fasten on to the fillet, and the whole will go ou together and look’ Just too eet and natural for anything.
