T. F. Harrison writes as fol- lows to the Whig from Zurich, Swit- zerland, on July 6th, regarding visit | to Germany : Strictly speaking. the old adage, "a rolling stone gathers no moss" is | uot true. A little of the green sticks and adds to the sum total; so, even in a rush tenday trip in Germany, a little of the fuzz of general informa tion adheres. It commences immediately on cross ing the border from Russia, where, ldaving the pcrly-tilled farms of that despotically ruled country, you enter the meat, clean, productive fields of Deutch Land; 'where the utilization. of waste material iy at its best and no thing'is lost. 'Every inch of land on hill and in dale is farmed, not an ounce of waste power is lost Even the 'wind is hamessed to the ' old as-well as to the style, and forced to provide water for irrigation - pur- poses The gleaners in the field leave nothing for the birds. The us- ing of old railroad ties for 'storm fences, and "nickle in the slot" tic ket sellers, indicate (hat the railways are awake to the value of small things. Even the city fathers, us- ually criticized for being slow to "eatoh on," are imbued with the same spirit of thrift and thoroughness. Take! 1 as an example. The cabs are equippe with automats, in- dicating distance, and fare.

But in their sewage disposal sys- tem the acme of perfection is reach- ed. Berlin was \ surrounded by great arid, sandy, non-productive areas, but to-day not omly is the' sewage satis- factorily removed, but through its ut- ilization these great areas are made to not only blossom as the rose, but to be so productive that large sums are annually turned into the city treasury towards meeting an immense budget ot forty million dol lars. Ome and a half million of this goes towards streets, and here again the same thorough- ness | is shown. As the city edgideer stated they always used the best, no matter what the cost, and their ex perience, proved by figures covering a period of twenty 'years, that they more modern - ception, the verdict of travellers is that Berlin has the cleanest and best streets of any: large city. Asphalt is their favorite. i Reforestration is not the least of Germany's wise provisions for the future. On the drive to' Potsdam there is =a young forest of thirty- eight thousand acres of spruce and pine, and in every part of the empire great forests planted during the last twenty years are seen. Adjoining Frankfort we saw one of one hundred and sixty-five thousand acres.

A TINY TOWN The Big Show--A Remarkable Or. ganization. Beaumont Smith, director and or- ganizer of Tiny Town, arrives in a tew days. His remarkable commun- ity of miniature men and women, averaging ~ only™ thirty-two inches high, will arrive Saturday morning. In an interview Mr. Smith said : "I'he (our has lasted two 'years, and all that time has been spent in Australia and South Afriea. The first Sydney season was one of 120 per: formances, and in Welbourne 104 were given. 'The entertainment appeals to all classes, and attracts remarkable large numbers of people who are re garded as non-theatregoers. This fact 1s due to the wholesomeness of the entertaiument. I anticipated coming to Canada with Tiny Town long be fore this, bul the Australian and African tours had to be extended time after time, and it was impossible to come earlier. Tiny Town is a min- inture village populated by tiny men and women thirty-two inches high, and varying in ages from nineteen to fiftw-six years. Every tiny towns: man is a perfectly formed midget. women doll-like creatures, possessing, among other feminine vanities, a ma- nia for fashions. The village is con trolled by a mayor thirty-two inches high. Midget policemen control the streets. The town has a fire bri- gade, miniature cabs and carriages. A remarkgble novelty is the 'mimiature circus, rn which are twelve tiny train od 'midget horses and ponies as well as' a big company of tiny strong men, jockeys, wire-walkers, acrabiats, clowns and dummies. The town it- sell is composed of miniature shops, houses, post oflice, church, ete.. "The idea of establishing a minia- ture city first struck me when 1 came n some of these little people show- bg 'at a variety theatre in Europe I set out to gather little people a- roand me. I could have got hun- dreds of dwarfs and deformities but that was not what T Was after. Af ter two years Tiny Town was ready. Few people know that there is a dif- ference between a midget and a dwarf. A dwarf is a stunted, short-legged, hump-backed deformity, but a midget is a perfectly formed man or woman in miniature. There are no dwarfs in Tiny Town. All speak. English; some of them speak as many as seven lan guages. '"I'iny Town is an extremely up-to- date municipality. In addition to its post office, church, fire station, it has its own newspaper. This is called Tiny Town Times, and its watchward is "Tis the Little Things That count." It is edited by the mayor and is issued weekly.

The faet that one boy told anothertboy that a cer | tain lad wanted to fight him, was the cause of a case which came before Mu- gistrate Farrell, in the police court, om Thursday morning. Mrs. Harriet Conduit was the com- plainani in the case, and she charged Charles Mclaughlin, a youth of six teen or seventeen, with having used abusive language towards her. He was found guilty, and lined 3%3 and costs, ror fifteen days. Mrs. Conduit's boy was mixed up in thé case, and the magistrate while stating that Mchaughlin had no right to use the language he did, blamed the Conduit boy for the trouble The evidence went to show that the Conduit boy had been a "tattler." He had heard something said about another boy wanted to fight, and went out apparently looking for trou- ble. McLaughlin became. mixed up in the affair. and later Mrs. Conduit came on the scene. McLaughlin put in a 'plea of "not gwity," and gave evidence, but the magistrate said that he was guilty on the evidence ®fiered. Mrs, Conduit and her son gave evidence. : "Your boy was the cause of all the trouble," said the court to Mrs. Con- duit, "and you had better look after him. He went around with a chip on his shoulder, and the whole trouble started from this." A Scotchingn who sampled a bottle of Irish whiskey, by mistake, came to grief. He had to be gathered jn by the police. When arraigned it' was found that it was the first time he had been | before the court, and on this 'account, lhe was given a chance, He came out from Scotland ten months ago.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Plumbers Union Points Out Some Civic Needs. Kingston, Ont. July 16.-- (To the Editor)--The members of Loeal Union No. 221, Plumbers and Steamfitters of this city consider the existing conditions of the working men on our roads, is a by-word. As our city council does not meet for a few months, would the benevolent citizens, who have sent our fire chief to New York, dtp in and provide a portable toilet for these men's use? and also require the 'builders to erect a fit place for these men's accommo- dation. Instead of curing disease, we believe in trying to prevent it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We would like to put ourselves on record regarding this reform. Yours truly.
