USUHIOOS DESPOTISM. Shylock Methods Employed by . Berlin Money Lendera. . Thousands of Framlans Driven' to Bala or Exile Every Year Marry- y y Ins; lor Money ht " v . f ! Sole Kerned. ' f "v All Berlin sighs under the despotism of usury. The government, or at least t'c pillars of the" government, sifTh and suffer the most. For the past nix months one huge trial for usury has followed another, and the end is not yet. In one of these trials last fall, Bays the San Francisco Argonaut, there were no less than one hundred and twentyteveu. defendants, and the num ber of witnesses amounted to nearly four hundred. A numher of the worst usurers have been found guilty and sentenced " to terras , of imprisonment ranging from six months ; upward to seven years',; besides heavy , fines in money. Quite a number of the shrewd est and most dangerous had to be ac quitted for lack of proof. The young capital of the new German empire will remain the most usury-ridden city in the world, where the vampirelsmof a legion of, Hhyloeks steadily sucks the life-blood of the higher as well as lower classes, and drives annually hundreds and thousands Into ruin or into exile. ' The cause is expressed by the un translatable word "standerstruecWsich ten," by which is .-meant the thou sand and one considerations which Germans deen, due, Jo their , rank or station la life. Prussia is a poor coun try, oven to-day, after amalgamating into its domain large districts of more fertile and wealthier regions, such as Nassau, Hcsse-Cassel, districts in Han over and by the Rhine. The Prussian nobility is the poorest of any civilized country, with the single exception of Italian. Hut the Prussian nobility, nevertheless, is as proud as the iSpanish.vastly prouder than the British. Their poverty now and their claims to consideration, their station in life, their proisinent position in the , state loud to never-ceasing conflict, Their peculiar code of honor forbids them to engage in , money-making pursuits, Jcunt of all in trade or commerce, and nothing is left them to live in accord ance with the cast-iron notions of their mind hut cither to enter the army as professional soldiers, to enter the gov erment employ, or else to till the mea ger paternal acres. ,.. Tho latter occupation which used to furnish to brothers, cousins and sons of such agricultural "noblemen , the secret wherewithal to lJve standesgesmaes (i. c, according to their rank) in Berlin or elsewhere is becoming less and less profitable, owing to cheap American and Katst Indian wheat, elienp Russian rje, and cheap Australian meat. ; And the pay of Prussian army ofllcera or government employes is still so wholly inadecfuate that it does not sufHce even tho most modest expectations up to the ape of forty or so. ''. ; "' A "money marriage" is the sole rem edy left them to adjust their affairs under normal conditions! hut "money niarringes," too, are becoming less and ess frequent,' since the number of claimants to each wealthy girl's hand is yearly becoming larger. Tho hunt ' for an1 American heiress or for some other exotlo "goldfish" is hence men tioned in tho lexicon of those unen viable young men as the dernier rcstiort. This rapid pen picture of the actual conditions confronting nine tonth oJf.Orif'J6uiig PruMiltoi nobles on "enter im? life is bv no means curorWe. Hut it will serve to show why frie usurer InJSerlin has become a power of the first magnitude. ',' , . Kucli year scores of cases' occur in Berlin of young hopefuls ending their brief butterfly existence by a . well directed bullet; of despairing fathers quitting the servico of that state to which they had devoted the best years of their life at a personal and financial saeriliue; of middle-aged men disappear ing (and often turning up again . in miserable guise In some transatlantic country) from their old-time haunts, 11 nd all this because the usurer at last hns drawn the net close about them. And the number of poor, dowerless girls, of sisters and . brides of these same young men, girls who of their own free choice abandon every hope of wifehood and motherhood simply to enable their lords of tho other sex, their brothers in most cases, to out a figure for a time, to live standesge macs, is fairly innumerable. These poor girls, silent, uncomplaining vic tims of hoary prejudice, are the real heroines in these tragedies of life. That is why Berlin is honeycombed with usury, and that is why usury Is a regular profession or, rather, a ' fine art. ' NEW USE FOR BICYCLES. ; Discovered In London Thnt a Whirl Will HUow Whether a Man Is Intoxicated. A now test of inebriation has been discovered by an Englishman, says the New York World. The latest that has been Introduced Into America was the requiring of the "suspicioncd" to pro- . nounco tho words "truly rural" three times rapidly, but the new .English method has a decided advantage, and it will quite easily be transplanted and used here with effect. A pushing British policeman on the Surrey side of London found Mr. ' William Andrew Gill the other day hi a state which suested the unconscious cerebration 4jf alcoholic symptoms and brought liim before a local police official. , Mr. iUU defended himself masterfully. "The policeman's charge is wrong," he said. "I was on a bicycle, and no man who is under the intlueuee of liquor can ride a two-wheeled machine." An interesting question Is; thus opened, and question that admits of a good deal of argument... A competent London authority, after due reflection, has declared that if the man drinks hteudily and only makes use of straight liquids, there i nd ' reason why the alcohol should not readily balance him. But if, on the other hand, he mixes his drinks with exasperating carelessness, combining, for example, Scotch ale and Dublin stout with dry champagne and seltzer, there is every reason to fear that the heavy liquors might fly off to one side, leaving -the center of gravity upset and tumbling the rider' to the ground, i ' ' - ' Treating the question seriously, how ever, .the : bicycle as a'detector. of in ebriety would 'seem to.be a valuable test., It is hardly likely,' however, to be accepted as a conclusive argument in the police courts. - In nearly every case that can be imagined the magis trate on the bench would prefer a med ical man's testimony, ' That was what the London police official in the case above mentioned did, despite Mr. Gill's proposition that he? would - ride his wheel in the courtroom in support of his theory. . : " ' t ' V, STOVEPIPE AND ELBOwSJ' " An Important Feature In the Business of 40,000 Dealen In Store In ThU Country. Tin and sheet iron workers dealing in stoves usually make their own stove pipe, while the bulk'bf the product of stovepipo manufacturers is sold to dealers in stoves, hardware and house funiishing poods,. Most stovepipe ;is made by, hand, f There5 are various patentii relating, to the manner of join jng the scam, and pipes are made that can be shipped nested, the seams to be joined .at the. point of destination, thereby, saving freight charges, says the New York sun. : ji ., J Stovepipe is sold in joints, two feet in length, and in' various diameters. In antliracite regions the pipe averages five or six inches in diameter, but in soft coal regions it is mostly seven or eight inches in diameter. Stovepipe is much cheaper than it used to be. Such pipe as formerly. sold at retail at t wen five cents a joint, can now he bought at fifteen cents or Jess. i There are in tho United States about orty. thou sand dealers" of one kind or another who sell stoves and the annual con sumption of stovepipe in this country amounts to millions of joint. Stove pipe manufacturers begin making pipe for the winter trade about the middle of summer, and Jobbers begin placing their orders about the same time. .- The distribution to dealers is active through August and September, and it continues until the end of winter. t-. 'v! While many stove dealers having tin smiths' plants .make their own pipp, very few now manufacture elbows, which they can buy cheaper from the manufacturer.., There are numerous patents on elbows. There are elbows that are made all in one piece, and oth ers are made in sections. ; There is more machine work in the manufacture of elbows than in the manufacture of pipe. The old-fashioned right-angled elbow of two pieces is still made by hand, but Its sale is limited; and most elbows are of the modern kind, with three, four or five sections. Thero are adjustable el; bows, made with a niovablo joint, which can be adjusted to any angle or to two angles. '' '-' 1 ; ' ' .: i ' " . ;. .(-"i ". -. i . , Poor Napoleon 1 . The antiquity of modern inventions has often been the subject of remark by way of commentary upon the old nnylng that ''there is nothing new under the sun." , An extreme ease is reported by the London News.

Society has a new English fad. li might bo moro properly called a sug gestion of a fad, for it requires time to 'grow, just as an aeorn requires time to become an oak. When the duke of York i.was married a loyal subjuct planted an acorn. The loyal subject assiduously cultivated the tiny, sprig which . presently appeared above ground,' When the son of the duke of York was born, says an eastern ex change, the loyal subject presented his tiny oak to the infant prince, in behalf of whom it was received moist gracious ly. It was planted at Sandringhain and ia the chief pride aud Care of the head gardener. A new leaf on that oak is second in Importance only to a new tooth in the future king's head. It is the court fashion for royalty and no bility to inquire frequently as to the growth of the little tree, and it ia es teemed a high privilege to seo Prince Edward's tiny oak, the acorns of which will doubtless be treasured up as sou venirs several hundred years after Prineo' Edward has been gathered to his fathers. The "family tree" Idea is certain to be no less popular in Ameri ca than in England, where the fad has tho favor and patronage of royalty. The fashion may be called a pretty one, ' commemorating anniversaries about which moht family sentiment at taches, the date of marriage and of tho birth of the first heir, and it carries on In the future, In a way which it is pleasant to fancy, iu story of a double happiness. To plant the aeorn on the date of the wedding, to transplant and present the tree on the day the first baby Is bomthat is the simple method of the new fad. - Tb K alter as an. Actor.

Nature Eu Been Very Generous ; . This.Tear. ' '! The Abundance of Ben-lee and NaU, It U . (Said, Presage Severe Cold and 5 IxU of Snow the Com-. ' u ing Winter. , ' : if there is anything in the old belief" that a season of abundant wild fruit, and especially nuts, presages a cold and snowy winter, wo ,may expect se vere weather five, six and scVen months heave, says the New York Sun. All the' wild fruit.3 hereabouts have been unusually abundant, and there Is prom ise yt an equally abundant nut crop. Tho f rait sci.ion opened with plenty of wild strawberries.'. If the cultivated stra(vbcny could retain, along with its large izi, the sugary sweetness and juicy .tenderness of the wild berry it would be lastly more popular even than now, and the sin of strawberry short cake would be seldom committed. - Just after the strawberries came the wild blackcap -raspberries, abundant and excellent. ' They were greedily eaten by birds and boys and like wild creatures. Blackberries are still ripen ing, because their season is longer than that Of most other wild fruits. In the Imniediitte suburbs they are abundant, but smaller than usual, though farther north, they are- both . plentiful and luscious." They '. .are extremely sweet this year In spite of the plentiful rain, 'which is sometimes supposed to in crease the Bize of such fruits at the ex pense of tho flavor. The berries that grow in the shade of the woodlands seem to reach the highest perfection. Wild cherries are abundant, and ripen ing in good season. ' They seem to be a favorite fruit with the birds, and the output of thnt delectable and beautiful cordial, Cherry bounce, is greatly cur tailed by reason of the fact that the birds seize each separate cherry as it ripens on the bunch. Wild apple trees in .fields and woodlands, where they have sprung up as, volunteers and have never been grafted, are "roping" with fruit, M is ' the picturesque country phrase. ' They have, a , pleasant wild tang, often in keeping with their out lawry, but they make excellent apple sauce. Cooking seems to rob them of a certain griping quality, bnt does not destroy their wild flavor. ; ! The nnts promise" well, and upon these -the weather vindication is snp . posed especially to hang, An abund ant nut crop is held to indicate a provi dential'vare against snow and cold, for the needs of squirrels and other wild . creatures that lay in winter stores. The nuts are full Of delightful suggestions to country-bred men whose memories are still supple-"' The hickory , nut seems to be full size now, and they gleam pleasantly among the leaves. Their pungent odor is a lively spur to memory. Tho chestnuts, which seem only yesterday to have lost their tas sels; are showing abundant small ten der iurs. They were hoary with prom- iso in the blossom stage, but the trees never lived up to the early indications. Walnuts swing high in air, their .twin green spheres -thickly dotting the rather thin foliage of the great trees. DEGENERATION IN BOSTON. Tlme-IIonored Spots ' Being ' Buthleisly Wiped from View. Notwithstanding the sentiment in the commonwealth against the demoli tion of tho state , house it will have to go, writes G. W. Wilfred Pearce, of Boston, to the New York Sun. The drawings of. a new building have been completed, and tho work of construction will begin next March. : .13.3 Tho process of disfiguring the publlo garden and the common goes merrily on. ' The old burying ground on the common, wherein rested the bones of many soldiers of the revolution and Jullion, tho inventor of Jullien soup, has been vandaliaed by the promoters of that queer conception, the subway, in which electric cars, running. south and west are to go.,; v , ': ' Within a short time the common will be grabbed by politicians and real es tate speculators.

In the same town there was a bey who v went about, bawling at the top of lus voice: "Fish, fish fresh fish!" "What a dreadful noise!" said an angry wom an. "Do you hear me?" asked the boy, politely. "Hear yout Y'ou can be heard a mile away!" "Well," said the boy, placidly, "that's what I'm hollerin for. Fish, fish fresh fish!"
