If they could all be bunched they would form a good-sized yillage--and a village more pretentious tian any other in the whole world. Some of his places are of enormous size and most of them are showy in their construc- tion and Style. As a. matter of fact, though, 'they are all in: German parlance called 'kaiserliches schloss- (imperial castle), very few of them, such as the [widely known palaces at Berlin and at Potsdam, are really castles in the strict 'sense of the word, Many of them, for- merly built as strongholds, perched upon peaks; or squatted in the middle of marshes in arder to mdke them impreg- nable against atlack, have given way tn ambitious modern palaces, But tbe word schloss'is now applied to any house ¢{ considerable sizé which a nebleman owns and occupies. Among the, Kaiser's Berlin palaces the royal castle on the Spree is one of the largest and probably THE MOST FAMILIAR 1:, tourists. Originally it was of very modest proportions but from time to time additions have been made, keeping pace with the growth of influence and power of 'the -Hohenzollerns, The castle is gaudy, raw and pretentious in construc- ticn. The walls outside are of stucco stead -of stone masonry. The preten- ticus columns of the salons indoors are ol imitation marble while the same key- ncte of show and pretense governs the whole structure and all its details. One more inferest is the Charlotten- burg Castle, a structure much plainer and of later construction. It is situated in a charming park and is extraordinary for ils great length. Five hundred metres, 1 believe, are the correct figures. At any rate I know that it is only beaten in this respect by Schonburg, near Vien- na, -and Nymphenburg in Balavia. This place was. the home of the late Emperor Frederick IIL. during his last short stay in Berlin. The mausoleum in the park is the burial-place of Queen. Louisa of Prussia. and of her grandson, William, the first German Emperor. One of the most interesting of Kaiser William's places, historically, is Schloss | Koenigsberg, in the ' pro To of East Prussia. This castle, which was finished in 1261, was a famous stronghold of the order of the Teutonic Knights, one of the three great military and religious 420 | orders to which the Crusaders gave birth, the other twa being the Templars and the KNIGHTS OF SAINT JOHN, ""At one lime the order was undisputed aster of a population of 3,000,000 people 200 Sud-played a leading role in the palitical history of Northern Eurepe..

For the next} {welve years he trains for three wecks every alternate year. At thirty-two he enters the Landwehr, and has eight lo 'ten days under arms every fourth year util, at Afty, he retires, and is required te furnish rio further service except in|, case of war, What the Swiss militiaman lacks in military orthodox "he far more than makes up by skill a nation of marks- men. The (raining periods are occupied anly with drill and tactics; tre all-im- portant matter matter of shooting is left tc the indivitual soldicr to carry out at other times, and he does il under the auspices of the shooting societies which are such a feature of Swiss life. These societies, under government control, are called Schulzengesellschaf- len in the German, and Socieles de Tir in the French cantons, They are volun- tary associations, varying in size and imporiance with the town or village they serve. Thoce in the larger towns pos- sess comp clely fitted ranges and club- houses; the small villages do their shoot ing in any fleld backed by a suitable ihll. Every peasant and townsman has <casy fac lities for shooting, and each man has his service rifle always in his possession. Every man between the ages of twen- ty and thirly-lwo must fire thirty-two shots in fur compulsory exercises every year, and the socletics receive a grant «f two francs for every soldier shoot ing th"s course on their ranges. The in- come derived from the grants gencrally suffices for the current expenses of the society, supply of targets and pay of marker. There is no enlrance fee nor subscription as a rule, and heavy ex- penditure, such as that incurred by the construction of new ranges, is met by a special grant fiom te government. Rules as to spectators, methuds of Icading and conduct on the ranges aro stringent. Loss of grant is incurred by any breach or neglect of regulations. In addition to the<e exerc.ses, many comptit'ons are held between different villages, towns and canlons. In sum- mer the trains and streams are crowded with jovial bands of marksmen going te and from their shooling festivals. The whole of Swiss shoot'ng is a god cxample of co-operation between gov- crnment and individual. Every Switzer has his army rifle; he can use it when and where he will, provided he does not MAN-A-LIN Is An Excellent Remedy for Constipation.
