Souvenir OF THE North German Lloyd, Bremen. PUBLISHERS: J. REICHMANN & CANTOR BERLIN, S.W. Hedemannstr. 12. PREFACE. In presenting our book for the first time to the public, we beg to say that our aim has been to furnish a concise work of reference for the use of trans -Atlantic travellers, containing hints and directions, which we trust may prove serviceable to persons, whose time is limited. While taking pains to mention only what is considered absolutely necessary for every person to see, who makes up his mind to "do" Europe; we have not failed to give all such advice as may conduce to the comfort of the tourist. Our sincere thanks are due, for the cordial and valuable assistance, we have from time to time received from the various societies and Offices of Inquiry on the Continent, railway com- panies and to all those who have contributed to this work and actively aided us with information. In conclusion, we would beg all our readers, who may discover any errors or inaccuracies, which, especially in a first edition, are well nigh unavoidable, to kindly inform us of the same. That our undertaking may be fruitful of good results and may redound to the pleasure and profit of our readers and patrons, is the sincere wish of the publishers, J. REICHMANN & CANTOR. Berlin, i. January 1896. ■ '■ ' N IMD S. S. CO. I tall. w hen an historian of the future under- takes to write the history of Ger- many's transoceanic trade, an important chapter in his work will doubtless be filled by the annals of the North Ger- man Lloyd S. S. Co. of Bremen. The following short sketch of the develop- ment of the Company will illustrate how enterprise and broad-minded views have, in the comparatively brief period of a few decades, succeeded in obtaining for the „Lloyd" the renown and domin- ant position, which it now enjoys alike in the old and the new world. The North German Lloyd, whose vessels now unite the four corners of the globe, was founded in 1857, exactly ten years after the period when for the first time a steamer, the „ Washington", had crossed the Atlantic on her voyage from Bremen to New York. The service of the „Lloyd", which in the beginning was carried on by but three small steamers, consisted during the first year only of one line to England. However already in the following year, the New- York line (the main object of the foundation of the Company), was opened by the despatch of the „Bremen" with a full cargo, some steerage- passengers, and one cabin -passenger. A noteworthy success was attained the next year — ■ 1859: the „Lloyd" was entrusted with the carriage of the Anglo-American mails. The experience which in the meantime had been gathered with regard to the cargo and passenger business, as well as the generally recognized regularity and safety of the service paved the way for a rapid growth of the Company's fleet. In 1865 the passengers con- veyed by the Company's steamers reached the number of 9714, in 1866 it became necessary to despatch a boat every week and in the following year — ten years after its foundation — the „Lloyd" con- trolled a fleet of 14 steamers, of which 8 were engaged on the New- York line and 6 on the English line. The number of the voyages made in 1867 was 47 to America and 127 to London and Hull. These figures proved the prosperity of the undertaking and the VII ft 4 f) -ft* IS «> VIII IX Directors, anticipating the influence which the development of the Company would later on exercise on Germany's transoceanic inter- ests, justly recognized it as their duty to further promote the foreign relations of the fatherland by the creation of new services and the extension of those already existing. This period coincided with the time when the germs of the subsequent powerful growth of German industry and commerce became first apparent and when the want of regular steamship communication made itself generally felt. The second decade of the history of the North German Lloyd bears full testimony to the fact that the Company has spared no effort to accommodate itself to the altered conditions of trade. Already in 1868 the relations with North America were extended through the opening of the Baltimore line. In Baltimore the arrival of the first steamer was celebrated as an event of considerable importance. The place was „en fete". Schools, Markets, the Custom-house and most of the shops were closed. A procession headed by the Governor and the dignitaries of both the State and the city, accompanied by United States infantry, cavalry and artillery and representatives of the different trades, clubs and societies paraded the town and at a banquet which followed, great results were confidently predicted. We now arrive at an anxious year for the Company. On the outbreak of the Franco-German war the German ports were declared in a state of blockade. The superiority of the French fleet necessi- tated, not only that the Company's ships in foreign ports should be ordered to remain there, but that those at the moment on their way home should be warned of their danger and directed to safe neutral ports. Foreign steamers had to be chartered and other heavy ex- penses incurred. But victory on land limited the period of severest trial to about three months. Gradually the ships left their foreign quarters and, taking a northerly course round Scotland ran into one of the English east -coast ports whilst awaiting an opportunity to slip across to the Weser. In October of the first year of the war even the transatlantic service was re-opened by the „Hansa" with a full freight and a large number of passengers. To the captains and officers of the „Lloyd" employed on these hazardous expeditions, the North Sea was as his native forests are to the Indian. They cut through the blockading cordon northwards and made their way round the perilous coast of Scotland. They steamed down the channel right through the French fleet, wrapped in friendly fogs. For reasons of policy however it is well to suppress all details of the stirring in- cidents of blockade-running and to pass in silence over acts of suc- cessful audacity and resource that might take rank with the feats performed at the ports of the short-lived Confederate States. In spite of the war the new fine from Bremen to the West Indies was opened in the autumn of 1870 and at the same time a regular connection was formed between Bremen, Rotterdam and Ant- werp. In 1871 the service to England was augmented by a third line and four years later — 1875 — the „Lloyd", paying due regard to the German interests in South America, established a regular ser- vice to Brazil and the River Plate. At the end of the second decade of the existence of the company (1878^ it became necessary to divide the South American line into two separate services, one to Brazil I Si "IS Ik i (Bahia, Rio de Janeira, Santos) and the qther to the River Plate (Montevideo, Buenos Aires), whereas connection with the West Indies was discontinued. The period in the development of the „Lloyd" Company which now follows will always form an important phase in the history of navigation in general. While up to this time the aim of the steam- ship owners of all seafaring nations had been directed towards security and regularity in the services of the vessels, it now became necessary to consider a third point, via: speed — and aided by the great pro- gress made in marine engineering, a new type of vessel, the modern fast-steamer or ocean-greyhound was created. Up to this time a speed of 12—13 knots an hour had formed the average for the regular mail steamers. In 1878 however the English Guion line had a steamer constructed (the „Arizona") whose engine developed the, until then unheard of, speed of 16 nautical miles an hour, and which at the same time was provided with the necessary accommodation to carry a great number of passengers. A new era in the art of shipbuilding and steam-navigation was thus inaugurated. Considering the enormous increase which of late had taken place in the traffic between the Old and the New World, it was evident that steamers of this speed, would, if they proved safe, soon attract pas- sengers and mails, thus securing pecuniary advantages for their owners. For the North German Lloyd, which at that time already occupied a prominent position among steamship companies, the intro- duction of the fast-steamer service was a matter of course, as soon as first experience had proved its practical feasibility. Thus the „Lloyd" commenced in 1880 the construction of its fleet of fast- steamers which surpassing all its competitors as regards the number of the vessels employed has placed it in the front rank of the leading steamship companies of the world. On the 26th June 1881 the first fast-steamer, the „Elbe" (16 miles per hour) was placed upon the line, she was followed in 1882' and 1883 by the „Werra" and the „Fulda" (16—17 miles), in 18*4 by the ,.Eider" and the „Ems" (17 miles), in 1886 by the „Aller", the „Trave u and the „Saale" (17—18 miles), in 1888 by the „Lahn" (19 miles', in 1889 by the „Kaiser Wilhelm II" and in 1890 by the „Spree" and the „Havel" (19—20 miles). The construction of the fast-steamers inaugurated also a change in the interior arrangements of the vessels. The old-fashioned monot- onous dining-rooms with a number of tables in file flanked on each side by uncomfortable benches were replaced by saloons of studied elegance and sumptuousness. In the modern dining-saloons furniture, carpets, curtains, paintings combine to form an artistic whole with the architectural disposition of the rooms. The whole outfit of the saloons has been executed by the firm of A. Bemb6 of Mainz after the designs of the Bremen architect Poppe. The period during which the fleet of fast-steamers of the „Lloyd' c was constructed coincides with another important phase in the devel- opment of German transoceanic trade, namely the establishment of the subsidized mail steamer service to Eastern Asia and Australia. In July 1885 the North German Lloyd contracted with the German government to carry on the service on all the Imperial mail-steamer XII :- •: i &d I to< -'■•. ' f, .i The North German Lloyd Imperial Mail Steamer „Bayern" in the Drydocks of Blohm &■ Voss, Hamburg (after being cut amidships for lengthening purposes). XIII lines which Parliament had decided should be established with the provision that all the new steamers to be placed on such lines should be built in German shipbuilding yards. The speed contracted was 12 miles for the line to Eastern Asia and for the Mediterranean line, 117 2 miles for the Australian main -line and the other branch -lines. The new mail steamer service consisted of 1) main -line to Eastern Asia, 2) main-line to Australia, 3) branch-line Trieste-Brindisi-Alexandria, 4) branch-line Hongkong- Japan, 5) branch-line Sydney-Tonga Islands- Samoa Islands. The preparations for the opening of the new important services were accelerated so that as early as the 28th June 1886, the first Imperial mail-steamer, the „Oder", could leave Bremerhaven to carry the German flag to the shores of Eastern Asia. The new steamers „Stettin" and „Lubeck" built for the branch-lines had already left Bremerhaven some time before. As the steamers which the „Lloyd" possessed at the time of concluding the contract were inadequate in number and construction to the requirements of the new service, the company at once ordered three steamers for the main -lines and an equal number for the branch-lines of the Vulkan shipbuilding yards at Stettin. The new steamers, named „Preussen", „Bayern", „Sachsen" and „Stettin", „Lubeck", „Danzig", exceeded by far the provisions of the contract with the government as regards dimensions and speed. Already during the first years of the existence of the Imperial mail-steamer service some changes became necessary. In the first place the line between Trieste, Brindisi and Alexandria was rendered impossible on account of the sanitary conditions prevailing in Egypt. This line was therefore replaced by a line from Brindisi to Port Said. The latter existed until the year 1893 when the Mediterranean branch service was given up altogether, as it was decided that the steamers of the main-lines should in addition to Genoa (where they had called since 1887), also touch at Naples for the embarkation of mails in order to ensure a speedy despatch of the latter. In 1893 Parliament further decided that the branch line in the Pacific, which had proved of no practical value, should be discontinued and that a new branch- service from Singapore via Batavia to German New -Guinea should be carried on instead. The service of the Imperial mail lines soon showed prospects of a hopeful future. The fears which on various sides had been ex- pressed that the subsidy given by the country would only benefit the commerce of other nations, that German commerce would derive no profit from it and that the interests of the already existing lines of steamers owned by private firms, would be seriously injured, all proved without foundation The offer of cargo for the steamers was from the beginning considerably in excess of the room available. The increase in the German exports to the countries concerned has been so rapid that no doubt as to the favorable influence of the lines can be further entertained. The interests of the lines carried on by private firms have not been injured, but rather the contrary has taken place. In proof of this we beg to call the attention of our readers to the figures which they will find subjoined. The total German exports to China amounted to 14 1 / 2 millions of XIV XV marks in 1887, against 47 millions in 1893, the export to Japan has during the same period risen from 47 2 millions to 26 millions, and the exports to Australia have increased from 17 millions to 114 millions. As regards the lines carried on by private firms, the German Kingsin line to Eastern Asia was already in existence before the Imperial mail lines were founded. This line despatched a steamer every four weeks; but in 1887, one year after the opening of the Imperial mail lines, the Kingsin line found itself under the necessity of doubling its service. As regards the trade to Australia before the opening of the Imperial mail lines, there existed only one line, the Sloman line. This line was of comparatively little importance to German commerce, as the steamers used to embark their cargo chiefly in Antwerp and London and only in exceptional cases sailed direct for German ports when returning. The Sloman line has it is true since suspended its service, but in its place a new company, the Australian steamship company, was founded only three years after the inanguration of the „Lloyd" lines. The German Australian company likewise maintains a fortnightly service with Australia. As regards the Imperial mail lines, the steamers soon proved too small for the goods that were offering, but a few years ago these Lines were completely provided with much larger steamers. The alterations in the construction of some of the vessels, as well as the new additions to the fleet, which for this purpose were ordered by the „Lloyd", on the one hand represent a work in the art of ship- building, never Undertaken before to such an extent and on the other, have created a new type of steamer > which gives the fullest satis- faction. In the latter respect may be mentioned the twinscrew steamers „Prinz Regent Luitpold" and „Prinz Heinrich" built by F. Schichau of Danzig. As regards the re-constructions effected, the most remarkable work is the lengthening of the steamers „Bayern", „Sachsen" and „Preussen" carried out by the firm of Blohm & Voss in Hamburg. Each of the three steamers was placed in a floating dock and cut through amidships just forward of the engines. The forepart of the steamer was then drawn forward by hydraulic force and a new compartment was built between the two separated parts of the vessel. — In this way the „Sachsen" and „Bayern l< have been lengthened by fifty feet and the „Preussen" by seventy feet. The tonnage of the two former steamers was thus augmented by about 2000 cubic metres each and that of the „Preussen" by about 2500 cubic metres, the speed of the steamers not being impaired by the lengthening. At the end of this article our readers will find some statistical tables showing the development in the traffic of passengers and goods, as will as of the tonnage employed on the Imperial mail lines. In 1892 the jSorth German Lloyd started a special service of cargo- steamers between Bremen and New- York and between Bremen and Baltimore. For the former, denominated the „Roland" fine, a number of new steamers were built which received the names of „Roland", „Wittekind" and „Willehad : '. The dimensions of these steamers have been so arranged, as to allow them to profit by the successfully completed work of deepening the Weser , to land and embank goods at Bremen instead of at Bremerhaven. The line from Bremen to Baltimore has been formed by the large steamers of the XVI U £ I XYII II „Munchen" class, all built as recently as 1889 and 1890. These two- lines carry steerage passengers and goods, the Baltimore steamers also taking a limited number of cabin passengers. Since 1890 the traffic with New- York has been further developed by the opening of a line of fast- steamers from New- York via Gibraltar to Genoa and Naples, with occasional calls during the winter season at Algiers Return tickets for the line Bremen and New- York can be made available for the Mediterranean line and vice versa, the pas- sengers being at liberty to choose that route which according to the season and their plans best suits them. The trade with South America has also been considerably in- creased during the last few years, some new and comfortable steamers having been especially constructed for that purpose. — In the first place we ought to mention the two new saloon- steamers „Mark" and „Pfalz", which, provided with all modern improvements for a voyage in the tropics, form quite a new type of tropical steamer. Their con- struction also allows them to steam up the river as far as Bremen and to be despatched from the latter place instead of from Bremerhaven. Besides the steamers mentioned, the company has placed upon the River Plate line the twinscrew steamer „H. H. Meier" and the four new steamers „Halle", „Bonn", „Crefeld" and „Aachen" especially constructed for the service to South America. The company further maintains a regular service by saloon- and cargo-steamers to Brazil (Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and Santos). The saloon- steamers leave Bremerhaven on the 10th and the cargo-boats on the 25th of each month. In connection with the arrivals of and departures of the steamers from Santos, the North German Lloyd have recently opened a branch service for passengers (first and third class) and goods with calls at Paranagua, Sao Fran- cisco, Desterro and Rio Grande do Sul. In conclusion we should mention that the company maintain a regular summer-service to the North Sea Islands Norderney, Borkum and Heligoland. In connection with these lines fast express -trains are run to the principal inland places. These trains are despatched from and arrive at the Lloyd railway-station in Bremerhaven which is in immediate connection with the landing place of the steamers. In the preceding pages we have given a short sketch of the rapid growth of the company. Subjoined our readers will find a list of the various lines of the North German Lloyd at present in operation : I. Traffic to North America: 1) Line of fast-steamers from Bremen to New-York via Southampton. Steamers employed on this line: , , Havel*', „Spree", „Lahn", „Aller", „Trave", „Saale", „Ems". Departures from Bremen Tuesdays and Saturdays , from Southampton "Wednesdays and Sundays. 2) Line of fast steamers from Genoa and Naples via Gibraltar to New- York with occasional callings at Algiers. Steamers running on this fine: „Kaiser Wilhelm II", „Werra" and „Fulda". 3) Line of mail-steamers from Bremen to New-York (steamers of the Mtinchen type). 4) Roland Line from Bremen to New York. Steamers: „Roland", „Wittekind", „Willehad". XVIII 5) Line of mail- steamers from Bremen to Baltimore (steamers of the Munchen type). II. Traffic to South America: 6) Bremen— Brazil via Antwerp, Oporto, Lisbon to Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and Santos. Saloon -steamers: „Hohen- staufen", „Habsburg", „Salier". 7) Branch-service from Santos to Paranagua Sao Francisco, Desterro and Rio Grande do Sul. Steamer: „Mowe". 8) Bremen — River Plate via Antwerp, Southampton, Corunna to Montevideo and Buenos Aires. Saloon-steamers: „Mark", „Pfalz", „H. H. Meier" and „Wittekind". HI. Imperial Mail Lines: 9) Bremen — Eastern Asia via Antwerp, Southampton, Genoa, Naples, Port Said, Suez, Aden, Colombo, Singapore, Hongkong Shanghai. Steamers: „Prinz Heinrich", „Preussen", „Sachsen" and „Karlsruhe u . 10) Bremen — Australia via Antwerp, Southampton, Genoa, Naples, Port Said, Suez, Aden, Colombo, Adelaide, Melbourne to Sydney. Steamers: „Prinz Regent Luitpold", „Bayern", „01denburg", „Gera", „Darmstadt". 11) Branch Line from Hongkong to Japan. Hongkong, Yokohama, Hiogo, Nagasaki and return to Hongkong Steamer : „Hohenzollern." 12) Branch Line from Singapore to German New Guinea. Singa- pore, Batavia, Soerabaya, Friedrich Wilhelmshafen, Stephansort, Finschhafen, Herbertshohe and Matupi. Steamer: „Stettin". IV. Branch Line in Asia: 13) From Singapore to Deli (Sumatra). Steamer: „Sumatra". V. European Lines: 14) Tow-boat service from Bremen to Hamburg. 15) Saloon-steamer service during the bathing-season from Bremen to Norderney and Borkum. 16) Saloon-steamer service during the bathing-season to Heligoland. 17) Line from Bremen to London direct tor passengers and cargo. 18) Line from Bremen to Hull direct for passengers and cargo. For the carrying on of the service on all these lines the North German Lloyd now owns a fleet of 78 steamers and 78 lighters of a total tonnage of 244 802 and 195 406 horse-power. The crews of the fleet represent a force of 4874 men. One of the tables at the end of this article shows of how many persons in each grade this number is composed. The maintenance of so many lines and of so numerous a fleet rendered it of course necessary that the arrangements on shore should be of a proportionate character. First of all we should mention the extensive docks and workshops for the execution of repairs at Bremerhaven. These comprise a graving-dock and other works with all modern appliances for marine engineering. The number of men constantly employed in the workshops of the North German Lloyd at Bremerhaven is about 1000. The repair works at Bremerhaven are supplemented by an establishment of a similar kind at Bremen but of a less extensive character. XIX IJ * The considerable traffic of passengers by the steamers of the Nortli German Lloyd has further developed an institution for the provisioning of the steamers which in its arrangements and extent surpasses all similar establishments of other companies. The con- sumption of provisions and beverages on the steamers of the „Lloyd" annually reaches a value of more than 67 2 millions of marks. The annual consumption of coal is about 750 000 tons. Connected with the establishment for the provisioning of the steamers is the steam- laundry in which the whole ship's-linen is washed and disinfected after the return of the steamers to Bremen. The North German Lloyd also possesses its own piers in New- York. The whole of this powerful organism is controlled from the head- office of the company at Bremen. — In order to simplify the service and to secure a prompt despatch of business the following depart- ments have been created: Central Office, Passage Department, Freight Department, Provisioning Department, Insurance Department and Kiver Navigation Department. The company has provided for the welfare of its seamen and other employes, as well as for the widows and orphans of its servants by the creation of a pension-fond which has been in existence for a number of years and now possesses a capital of two millions of marks. On the 1st. January 1893 this institution was extended to include a separate pension -fund with increased endowments for the widows and orphans. The majority of the seamen of the North German Lloyd have spent many years in the service of the company. Of the total number of 4874 seamen employed on the steamers only a portion not amounting to 25% are m their first year of service, whereas 16 % are between their tenth and thirtieth year of service in the Company; as shown by the affixed table all important posts are in the hands of tried and experienced men. The numerous reports of successful cases of rescue effected at sea by the crews of the North German Lloyd are a proof of the excellent spirit which animates them. In conclusion we beg to give a translation of a letter addressed to the Company by His Majesty the German Emperor in recognition of its services. During my voyage to-day from the mouth of the Weser to Wilhelmshaven on board of the fast-steamer „Lahn", I have had an opportunity to inspect the vessel in all her parts and to minutely observe how the service is carried on. I have pleasure to express to the management of the Company my full satisfaction with what I have seen on board of this steamer. In remembrance of the voyage and as it is the first time that my standard has been hoisted on board of a German merchantman, I will present this standard to the North German Lloyd with a desire that the good spirit which rules on its steamers may always be maintained. On board of the fast-steamer „Lahn". Wilhelmshaven, 22nd April 1890. XX w "^ Jn the course of my voyage this day from the Weser to Wilhelmshaven on board the Express -Steamer "JLahn", J have availed myself of the opportunity of inspecting the vessel in all her parts, and of carefully noticing the manner in which the service is carried on. What J have observed on board this steamer has so entirely satisfied me, that J feel desirous of expressing my full approbation to the Directors, ^s a me- mento of this trip, and this being the first occasion on which J have caused my S far, dard to be hoisted on board a Steamer of the German Mercantile M[arine, ) present this Standard to the Directors, with a hope that the same excellent spirit which now prevails on board the vessels of the North German Lloyd may always be maintained.

As it is now constituted, with Prussia as the leading state, the German Em- pire extending from beyond the Rhine, to beyond the Vistula, is bordered on the South by Switzerland and Austria, from which its rivers, the Rhine, Elbe, Oder flow down, through Middle Ger- many, to the extensive sandy plain, of North Germany, to the North and Baltic seas; with several fine ports namely: Hamburg, Kiel, Liibeck, Danzig. The most beautiful parts of Germany are the Rhine, the Black forest, the Thuringian forest, the Harz, Saxon Switzerland the Bavarian highlands, the Erz moun- tains, and the Bohmer Wald, the Riesen or Giant mountains and Riigen in the Baltic. The Danube is mostly an Austrian river, but, rises in Wiirtem- berg. The present Emperor William II. is the grand-son of William I. who was proclaimed German Emperor, at Ver- sailles, 18th January 187 1. His father Kaiser Friederick, who was married to Victoria, Princess Royal of England, died after a brief reign, June 15th 1888. The Empire, separated into North and South Germany by the river Main, comprises 26 States, in the order of precedence, indicated by the numbers. North German States: Kingdom of Prussia, of Saxony, Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg. Schwerin, Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar; Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz; Grand Duchy of Oldenburg; Duchy of Brunswick; Duchy of Saxe Meiningen; Duchy of Saxe Altenburg ; Duchy of SaxtfCoburg- Gotha; Duchy of Anhalt; Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen: Prin- cipality of Waldeck; Principality of Reuss (elder line);Principality of Reuss ('younger line) ; Principality of Schaum- burg-Lippe; Principality of Lippe- Detmold; Free and Hanseatic towns of Hamburg, Liibeck, Bremen. Reichs- lande of Alsace Lorraine, annexed to the Empire 187 1. South German States. Kingdom of Bavaria, Kingdom of Wiirtemberg; Grand Duchy of Baden, Grand Duchy of Hesse. A Bundesrath of 58 delegates from the respective States is chosen for Imperial affairs, with a Reichstag or Imperial Parliament of 382 members, elected by ballot. Navy and Army arc under the Emperor, as General-in- Chief, but the Kings of Bavaria and Wiirtemberg, retain separate command of their own armies in time of peace. In Prussia there are 10 Universities, Wiirtemberg 1. Two thirds of the population of Germany, which is about 49Y2 millions, are Protestants. The Kingdom of Prussia, in the northern part of Germany is bounded on the N. by the Baltic, Denmark and Mecklen- burg; by Russia and Poland on the E., on the S. E. by Austria ; on the S. by Saxony and the Saxon Duchies; by Bavaria on the S. W. and part of France ; on the W. by France and the Netherlands.

Turning to the left, into the Leipziger Strasse, we pass on the right, corner of Mauerstr., the splendid new building 12 of the Imperial Postal Department, the headquarters of Herrn von Stephan, the originator of the Postal Union. On the opposite corner the new Cafe Klose; in the Mauer-Str. the Boh- mische Kirche, which Frederick Wil- helm I. had erected for the Bohemian refugees. Returning to the Leipziger Str. and turning to the right, our attention is attracted by the splendid granite building of the New York Equi- table Insurance Company. Crossing the Charlotten and Markgrafen - Strasse, passing on the left the Munich Hof- brau Beer Restaurant, with its frescoed garden and floral arrangements ; oppo- site the Concert House. A few steps farther, the International Bar, the only restaurant in Berlin really American in all its appointments ; here we can refresh ourselves by a good broiled beefsteak, fried tomatoes and real ice-cream soda. Resuming our wan- derings we come out on the DSnhoff- Platz, which only a few years ago was, as it were, transplanted here by magic hands. In the square is the monumental statue of Baron von Stein, opposite the Reichshallen theatre. The so-called Louisenstadt, south of this square, is the industrial and manu- facturing district. Through the Com- mandanten-Strasse Geber's Industrie- Gebaude, opposite this through the Linden-Str: left, the new Synagogue, somwhat farther, the headquarters of the Berlin Fire Department, farther on, Io the right, the Jerusalemer Kirche. (n the Oranien-Str., theReichsdruckerei tlmperial Printing Office). Returning to the Linden-Strasse we pass on the left, the Kammer-Gericht (Superior Court). At the end of the Linden-Str. we come to the Belle-Alliance-Platz, very prettily laid out with grass plots and flower-beds. The column in the centre, 60 ft. high, was erected on the 25th anniversary of the peace of 1815 ; the figure of Victory, surmounting the column, is by Rauch. At the base of the column, four groups emblematical of the powers which took part in the battle of Waterloo, called by the Prussians: Belle-Alliance. Ascending a short flight of steps we see before us the Hallesche Thor. In the Bliicher- Strasse the barracks of the Second Dragoon Guards and barracks of the Kaiser Franz Regiment. In the Git- schiner-Strasse those of the Cuirassier Guards. Continuing along the Belle- Alliance-Str, we pass on the left the cemeteries, and opposite them the barracks of the First Dragoon Guards, of which regiment Queen Victoria is Honorary Colonel. At the end of the Belle-Alliance-Strasse lies a large open plain, which since the time of Fre- derick Wilhelm I., has heen used as a Parade Ground for the Berlin Garrison. Probably more European monarchs have been present on this field, than on any other one spot in Europe. Standing in the middle of this plain with our back to Berlin, we have on our right Schoneberg, before us the village of Tempelhof, so called from the fact that the village in the 14th cent, belonged to the Knights Templars. Here are the barracks of Sappers and Miners. The Railway Regiment, and the Aeronautical Dept, which latter is soon to be removed to Weissensee, are in Schoneberg. On our left, the villages of Britz and Rixdorf, the latter the largest village in Germany. Re- turning through the Belle-AUiance-Str. we take the first street to the left, the Kreuzberg-Str., and visit the beau- tiful Victoria -Park, which takes its name from the Empress Frederick, who gave a large sum of money for laying out the grounds, which signalise a triumph of landscape gardening. Here you can imagine yourself way back in some country region. Ascending the hill we find on the top the monument erected by Frederick Wilhelm III. in commemoration of the losses in the Napoleonic wars and dedicated to his people. The monument was designed by Schinkel. On one side of the park is the much frequented Beer Garden and brewery, Tivoli, now united with the great Schultheiss Company. Re- tracing our steps, we see in the Blucher-Str., near the bridge, the new Heilige Kreuz- Kirche (Holy Cross Church), Returning trough the Wilhelm- Strasse. Before the Koch-Strasse the Palace of Prince Albrecht, Prince- Regent of Brunswick; handsome colon- nade in front and very pretty gardens. Just before reaching the Prinz Albrecht- Strasse the Architecten-Haus, head- quarter oftheVerein Berliner Kunstler, which contains a permanent exhibition of paintings by Berlin artists. In the 13 Prinz Albrecht-Strasse, Hotel zu den Vier Jahreszeiten, much frequented by Americans; splendid saloons for weddings and festivities. Farther on, the Industrial Art Museum, founded in 1867, and containing very valuable and interesting collections, worth careful inspection. Opposite is the new Abgeordneten- Haus (House of Representatives). Next to the museum, corner of the Konig- gratzer Str. the Museum of Ethno- logy, externally perhaps, the finest public building in Berlin. It contains valuable collections among others ; Schliemamvs excavations and Trojan groups. The African collections are very complete and interesting. Official catalogue to be had for 50 Pfg. The quarter between the Anhalter and Potsdamer Bahnhof is inhabited mostly by officials and is very quiet. Near here, in the Bernburger Str., is the Philharmonie, the finest concert hall in Berlin. Here are given the Phil- harmonic Concerts, and concerts of the two Wagner Vereine. On the canal, the new Courts of Justice. At Potsdamer Thor; the fine Pots- damer Bahnhof, left, station for the Ringbahn, right, the station Wannsee- Bahn. From the central station trains leave for Potsdam direct, without stopping at intermediate stations. Turning into the Leipziger Str. In the square with its beautiful Lindens; on the right, the statue of Graf Wrangel, an old soldier of the Napoleonic wars, on the left, Graf (Count) Branden- burg, son of Frederick Wilhelm II by his morganatic marriage "with the Countess Donhoff. He played a very important part in Prussian history, during the Napoleonic wars and in 1848. On the right of the square ; the ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of State and the Palace of the Prin- cess Frederick Carl; on the left side: the Turkish Embassy and the Admi- ralty Board. In the Leipziger-Strasse, right, the depot of the Royal Porcelain Factory ; a little farther on ; the former seat of the Reichstag (German Diet), hallowed by many historical asso- ■ ciations: Here Bismarck made his famous speeches, the declaration of war against Germany was read, Moltke made a memorable speech, and the sad news of the decease of the Em- peror Wilhelm I was received in solemn silence. The building is at present occupied by the Hygiene Ex- hibition, so arranged as to show all the latest improvements made in this field, combined with instructive lec- tures. Worth a visit. Particularly worth seeing : The process "THERMOPHORE for keeping foods warm, patented in all countries, foods and drinks are guaranted to keep warm 2-10 hours, without using any fuel whatever. We call special attention to the apparatus for warming and keeping milk warm for infants. Childrens bowls for soups and food enable them to eat and enjoy their food slowly, and thus do away with continually warming the food, so detrimental to the health of the little ones. The enameled dishes and pots have proved themselves to be perfectly indispensable in every household, as well as the silver and real nickel meat and vegetable dishes for families and hotels. Coffee-Reservoirs, containing from 5-20 quarts, are exceedingly practical for coffee-restaurants, also the nickel- plated coffee and tea-pots. All these articles are perfectly indestructible, and last forever. Foods are not warmed up, but kept warm, thus not in the least detracting from the taste. Circular, containing full description, sent post-paid, on application, by the manufacturers and owners of the patents Szcrawinski & Cronerberg, Elberfeld. The house adjoining is used by the Prussian Herrenhaus or House of Lords for its sessions, once occupied by the Mendelsohns. The old and present Ab- geordneten-Haus (House of Represen- tatives) is at the other end of the street, facing the Donhoff-Platz. Corner of the Leipziger and Wilhelm-Str. is the War-Office, an immense building, extended in 1894, far into the Wilhelm- Strasse. The United States, Consulate General, with its genial and obliging Consul -General and Vice-Consul- General, is on the first floor of the Equitable Building. The U. S. Em- bassy is at 14 Kronen-Str. near the Friedrich-Str. The Post-Museum be- tween Mauer- and Wilhclm-Strasse is well worth visiting containing almost 14 every thing connected with the postal service from its incipient stages, and from all countries; also, probably the finest collection of postage stamps in the world. In the Friedrichstadt at end of the Charlottenstr., in the Encke-Platz, is the Royal Observatory from which the clocks in the city are regulated. In the Prinzenstr., the great municipal Turn-Halle or gymnasium. The con- spicuous Michael Kirche is seen from the Oranien-Platz. Starting from the Potsdamer-Platz and turning into the Bellevue-Strasse, a gem of a street ■with its splendid old trees and gen- teel residences, with pretty gardens in front, we turn into the Victoriastr. and take a look at the new Kreishaus of the Mark Brandenburg, an imposing structure, in which the Council meets. The fine building extends through to the Matthaikirchstrasse with its pretty church, where most of the fashion- able •weddings are solemnized. Fol- lowing the canal to the left over the Potsdamer-Bridge, always lively, we take a horse-car or cab to the Bo- tanical-Gardens, a short ride of about 20 min. These gardens although they, have long outgrown their present quarters, are very important for pur- poses of study, being especially famous for the fine collection of cacti which are displayed to good advan- tage. The gardens were begun in 1679 by the Great Elector; the palm-house contains some beautiful specimens, and the blooming of the Victoria Regia, in a house by itself, generally in the month of August, attracts crowds of visitors. The Botanical Museum in the Grunewaldstr., near by contains a herbarium and interesting collection of dried plants, found in 1881, buried with some mummies. In the Matthai-Kirchhof, near by, many great German celebrities are buried, among others : the . great philologists, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, the sculptor Drake and Richter the painter. In this connection it may be well to mention the fact that Chamisso, Iffland and Neander are buried in the old Jerusa- lemer Kirchhof, Mendelssohn in the Dreifaltigkeits Kirchhof, Tieck and Schleiermacher in the Neue Drei- faltigkeits-Kirchhof, and the authoress Charlotte Birch-Pfeiffer in the Neue Jerusalemer Kirchhof. In returning we can go through the Kurfurstenstr. in which the Engineers School, to the Liitzow-Platz, pretty grounds, thence over the Hercules-Bridge, being a direct route to the Thiergarten, then back through the Sieges-Allee (Avenue of Victory), to the Konigs-Platz, in which Kroll's Theater and Concert Garden, a favorite resort in summer. A few steps farther, we come to the immense Generalstabs-Gebdude (Head- quarters of the General Staff), a build- ing occupying an entire square. Field- Marshal von Moltke resided here, directly over the portal. From here over the new and fine Moltke-Bridge. Facing the bridge is the Marine- Panorama; other Panoramas are: the battle of Rezonville in the Herwarth- strasse, very near here, and the Sedan- Panorama by Prof. Werner, Alexander- Platz. Not far from the bridge is the Ausstellungs-Park, in the immense iron and glass building the annual ex- hibition of the Royal Academy, open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., in the afternoon, concert by military bands. Farther on the immense building of the Cri- minal Court, in the square before it, a bronze lion, a handsome group. On the right, in the Rathenowstr., the model barracks of the Royal Ar- tillery, 4th Regt. of the Guards and the Lancer Guards. In the Exhibition- Park, entrance from the Invalidenstr., is an Observatory with first-class tele- scopes and meteorological apparatus; in connection with a so-called Scientific- Theater, in which panoramic and object lectures are admirably given. We should certainly advise every visitor to Berlin to pay a visit here, as it is unique of its kind. Another theater of the same kind is now building in the Taubenstr. Near the Marine-Panorama is the Lehrter Bahnhof and the station of the Elevated Road. At the Zoo- logical Gardens, there are concerts in the summer season. Not far from the Schloss-Brucke is the former Bau-Akademie (Academy of Design). In the open space in front, are the statues in the Schinkel-Platz, namely of Schinkel by Drake; Thaer Rauch's last work, and Beuth, by Kiss. The Friedrich-Werder Church is in the Werder- Market, near the Academy, a brick and terra cotta building designed, 15 by Schinkel. On the facade of the New Mint in the Unterwasser-Strasse is a fine frieze. The Main Telegraph Office is at the corner of Oberwall-Str. and Franzosische-Str. The Deutsche Reichs- bank is in the Jager-Str., between the Oberwall-Strasse and the Kur-Strasse; in the Renaissance style, Hitzig 1869. The Bethanien - Hospital is in the Mariannen-Platz. The Wilms monument, by Siemering, stands in front of the hospital. The new Emmaus Church is in the Lausitzer-Platz, near the Gorlitz Railway station, and barracks of the 3rd Foot Guards. Beyond the Colon- nades, east of the Donhoff-Platz is the Spittel-Markt, which contains the fountain called the Spindler-Brunnen. Ravene's excellent picture-gallery is at 92 Wall-Strasse. St. Peter's Gothic Church is at the end of the Briider-Str. The Mar-Stall or Royal Stables are in the Breite-Strasse opp. the castle. The Kollner Rathhaus, in the Kolnische Fischmarkt, contains on the first floor the Markisches Provinzial - Museum containing many things connected with the history of the Mark Brandenburg. This quarter has been much improved by the construction of the Muhlen- Damm. At either side of the Fischer- Briicke, the statues of the Margraves Albrecht der Bar and Woldemar. The old mills opp. are now used for city offices. The Kurfiirsten-Brucke is to the north-east of the Schloss-Platz. On the bridge is the equestrian statue of the Great Elector. The Nicolai- Kirche in the Post-Strasse is the oldest church in Berlin, dating back to the 13th cent. The Rathhaus in the Konigstrasse is a brick and terra-cotta building with granite facings; erected in 1861-70 from Waesemann's plans. Although, probably the largest building of the kind, it does not suffice for the enormous growth of the city. The tower which is 243 feet high, affords a fine view of Berlin. The bronze statues of Emperor William I., and Elector Frederick I. are by Keil and Encke. The Maricn- kirche is to the north of the Rathhaus in the Neue Markt; dates from the 13th century is very interesting and contains a death dance. On the corner of the Juden-Strasse is one of the District Courts of Berlin. In the Kloster-Str. is the Museum of Hygiene, and the Hygienic Institute of the University also the Museum of German National Costumes established in 1889. Nearly opposite is the School of Art, erected in 1877. Beyond this, in rooms once used by Rauch as a studio, is the Rauch Museum. Adjoining the School of Art is the celebrated Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster, founded in 1574, and containing the common and chapter rooms of the old monastery, in good preservation. The Gothic Klosterkirche built at the end of the 13th cent, by the Franciscans, an interesting old church of the middle ages. Beyond is the Parochial Church designed by Negring in 1695; interior restored. At the end of the Konig-Strasse is a Colonnade, Konigs - Colonnaden, and the Alexanderplatz - Station of the Stadtbahn. In the immediate vicinity is the Central Market, two immense halls, for the retail and wholesale re- spectively. In the Alexander-Platz is the Germania-Hotel ; on the other side looms up the colossal Police-Head- quarters, recently erected. In the Wallnertheater-Str. are the Schiller- and Residenz-Theater. Near the old Konigsthor, is the Bartolommae-Kirche, built in the Gothic style. Farther out, the pretty public parks Friedrichshain and Humboldtshain, both especially beautiful in the spring when the chest- nuts are in bloom. Between the Grosse Frankfurter-Str. and Lichtenberg, best reached by the Stadt-bahn, is the great Viehhof or Cattle market, one of the largest of the kind, and worth seeing. Near the museums, on the Spree, is the Borse (Exchange), one of the most im- posing edifices in Berlin. It contains a statue of Emperor William I. and the largest hall in the city. The Heilige- geist-Kirche, behind the Exchange, dating from the 13th. cent, is one of the very few old building. The Garni- son-Kirche, near by, is also soon to disappear, as the new one in theHasen- haide, will soon be completed. The old Monbijou Palace, now seldom used, contains the famous Hohenzollern Museum, with a very interesting col- lection of objects connected with the Hohenzollerns, particularly William I. and the Emperor Frederick III. One small room alone contains the wreaths sent at the time of the decease of 16 William I. The Museum deserves careful inspection. The pretty little English Church, designed by Rasch- dorff, is in the garden, and a bust of the poet Chamisso in the square, front of the palace. Near here, No. 67, Oranienburger - Strasse, is the house in which Alexander von Humboldt lived. The Royal Clinics are in the Ziegel-Str. The Lying-in-Hospital, in the Artillerie-Str. On the other side of the Spree, not far from Bahnhof Friedrich-Str., are the great institutes connected with the University, the Dorothecn-Kirche, the War Academy, corner of the Neue Wilhelm-Str. At the end of the Chausee-Str., the con- tinuation of the Friedrich-Str., in the Wedding - Platz, the Dankes - Kirche, erected as a thank offering for the Emperor William I., escape from assas- sination in 1878. In the Chausee-Str. the Friedrich -Wilhelmstadtische Thea- tre, devoted to light opera. In the Invaliden- Strasse to the right, the Stet- tiner Bahnhof; to the right, the exten- sive Natural History and Agricultural Museums. Near these museums is the new Gnaden-Kirche , consecrated in 1895. Behind it, the Invaliden-Column and Home for invalid veterans. In the Louisen-Str., facing them a few steps farther the great Charite Hospital, and the celebrated Veterinary School, Monument to Prof Grafe, the great oculist, cor. of Louisen and Schumann- Str. New and imposing Patent Office Building. From here, through the Carl- Str. in which, the great private optical clinics, and the barracks and drill- ground of the 2nd. Regt. of the Guards, and Circus Renz, we pay a visit to the great Synagogue in the Oranien- burger-Str. The old French Ceme- tery at the Oranienburger Thor, con- tains the graves of Schinkel, Stiiler, the philosophers Hegel and Fichte, the actor Devrient, Rauch andSchadow, the sculptors, and Ravene, the friend of art, with sarcophagus. Returning via Unter den Linden, our attention is attracted by the splendid Beer Palaces, most of them erected by the great breweries. The following are the most noticeable and worth visiting: Schultheiss, corner Behren-Str., Pschorr, on the opposite corner; Siechen, Nuremberg beer, in the Behren - Str., Gabriel Sedlmayr, "Zum Spaten"; Lowenbrau, corner Franzosische- and Charlotten-Strasse, Tucher's Nuremberg house, Weihen- stephan, Hackerbrau and Biirgerbrau in the Friedrich-Strasse. Hofbrau- Keller cor. Jager-Str. Headquarters for the favorite Pilsener beer, "Zum Klausner", in the Krausen- between Friedrich- and Charlotten-Strasse. Borchardt in the Franzosische-Strasse, Dressel, Hiller, Restaurant Muhling, Unter den Linden, and Kempinski in the Leipziger, near the Friedrich-Str., are noted for their good suppers. The great Thiergarten, about two miles in length and nearly four miles broad, extends from the Brandenburg Thor to Charlottcnburg, one of the finest parks of the kind in the world, and is noted more for its natural than artificial beauties. It contains also some very fine monuments, viz. : The Goethe Denkmal, facing the Koniggratzer-Str., the Lessing Denkmal in the Lenne- Strasse, the splendid monument to Queen Louisa and opposite, that of William III. These are all remark- able works of art. Opposite the Lessing Str., a few steps from the high road, is the new Kaiser Friedrich Memorial Church: a handsome brick structure, consecrated Oct. 21, 1895 in presence of the Emperor, Empress and Royal Court. The Zoological Garden, opened in 1844, is now one of the most complete in Europe. Week-day evenings the resort of the fashionable world ; band concerts every afternoon and evening. The Antilope and Elephant houses are very fine structures. In the Fasanen-Str., the Kunstlerheim, a building in medieval style and occupied by artists, worth seeing. At the beginning of the Kur- fiirstendamm is the beautiful Kaiser William Memorial Church, consecrated September 2nd. 1895. It is the finest church in Berlin and cost nearly five million marks.

The Exhibition will comprise the following twenty three groups: GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP GROUP I. Textile fabrics. II. Clothing industries. III. Building and engineering. IV. Wooden manufactures. V. Porcelain, Delftware and glassware. VI. Fancy goods and no- . tions. VII. Metal industries. VIII.

GROUP XXII. GROUP XXIII. Sanitary institutions. Educational matters. Fishing boating and similar sports. Driving and horse- manship, water- sports,cycling,shoot- ing and hunting, aeronautics. Horticulture. German colonial ex- hibition. The main object of the Berlin In- dustrial Exhibition is to present a complete picture of the industrial activity of Berlin, to show the mani- fold and progressive character of its manufacturing achievements, and to demonstrate the importance of the German capital as a centre of trades and manufactures. The greatest attention will be paid to the INDUSTRIAL ARTS, which have prospered here in an unrivaled manner, and a place of honour will be devoted to their best products. To stimulate these artistic trades a vast number of the master-pieces of former ages will also be exhibited, and HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR has gra- ciously consented to lend the many treasures of Industrial Art in his pos- session for this exhibition. The CITY AUTHORITIES OF BERLIN will erect a separate pavilion in which they propose to present a detailed picture of all the MUNICIPAL INSTITUTIONS OF BERLIN. In addition to the trade exhibitions very complete exhibitions will be 18 made in the following departments: Horticulture — Benevolent Institutions, Sanitary matters and prevention of accidents. — Educational matters in- cluding art — and trade schools. Berlin, one of the greatest manu- facturing cities on the European Con- tinent, will demonstrate that its in- dustrial activity has kept even pace with the development of public life in the German Empire. The GERMAN COLONIAL EXHIBITION held under the auspices of the Imperial Govern- ment, presided over by the Prince of Arenberg and the Director of the Im- perial Colonial Department, Privy Counsellor, Dr. Kayser, and the FISHERIES EXHIBITION, presided over by the Prince of Hatzfeld- Trachenberg and President Herwig, an exhibition of the greatest national im-. portance, will form parts of the Berlin Industrial Exhibition of 1896, and give to this grand undertaking a truly national character. The Exhibition Grounds, which have been placed at the disposal of the Exhibition Managers by the City Authorities, have a greater area than those of any International Exhibition ever held in Europe, and present particular advantages on account of their close proximity to the City and their great picturesque beauty. Trep- tow Park, which has been devoted to this purpose, comprises with the outside territory used, an area of about a million square meters. Its beautiful shady groves and well kept lawns extend along the banks of the Spree, which here widens into a broad lake, where all sorts of watersports are to take place. The MAIN BUILDING alone covers a space of 53,000 square meters. Other great structures in process of erection are the buildings for Fisheries and Sports, for Food Products, for Benevolent Institutions, for Educational Matters, for Chemistry, Scientific In- struments and Photography and last but not least, the great Hall for Build- ing and Engineering. Hundreds of side buildings will give great archi- tectural variety to the structures on the grounds. Contrary to the custom prevailing heretofore, the Exhibition buildings will be kept open till a late hour at night, and will be brilliantly illuminated by electric light. The grounds of the Exhibition will remain open until about midnight. But the Exhibition will not only be devoted to instruction. The greatest efforts will be made to provide AMUSEMENT AND ENTERTAIN- MENT for the visitors, and care will be taken that the enterprises in this direction shall be in the best pos- sible taste, but also of the most varied character. Right in the centre of the Grounds, on an area of 45,000 square meters. "OLD BERLIN" will be erected. The construction of this artistic reproduction of the old capital has been entrusted to noted architects, and under their direction the old City of the Mar- graves will arise again, and present a vivid picture of the almost forgotten days when the people of the Mark Brandenburg were the bold guardian- of the extreme outposts of German life and manners. A separate "THEATRE OLD with all stage the BERLIN", endowed lastest improvements chinery, will present dramatic tableaux showing the development of Berlin from a little fishing village into the great Metropolis of our days. A new branch of the industrial activity of Berlin will show itself in the "STREET OF CAIRO". Here he Berlin art of imitative decoration ts to demonstrate on a well known object what perfection it has obtained in copying from nature and lrom artistic models. The City of Berlin itself, whose re- presentatives have done all in their power to insure the success of the Exhibition, is preparing to greet the guests that are expected from all parts of the world. Every visitor will meet with a hearty welcome, and will, we feel certain, retain in his or her memory a pleasant re- collection of the hospitable Capital of the German Empire for all time to come. The management has been entrusted to the able hands of Messrs. Fritz Kiihnemann, Counsellor of com- merce, B. Felisch, Architect and M.Pu, and L. M. Goldberger, Privy Coun- sellor of commerce. 19 2* iiinmiiii'irffmM K 8< 1 Industrial Exhibition FROM 1st MAY 1896 TO IS"- OKTOBER 5 Awwti»^w^wKK«s»BWtBa»«a«a»!*sf«w^^ i I L: *Sutterltn 20 PROMINENT HOTELS and BUSINESS FIRMS IN BERLIN.

Varnish and RoIIercomposition. 61 CHARLOTTENBURG, formerly the village of Lietzow, with about 77,000 inhabitants derives its present name from Sophie Charlotte, Queen of Frederick I., who had a chateau here. The historically inter- esting palace, dates back to the end of the 17th. cent, having been designed at different times by Schliiter, Eosander and Knobelsdorff. In this palace Na- poleon I. stayed when he occupied Berlin, and here he was frightened in the night by the striking of a clock, thinking himself betrayed by the Prussians. The rococo furnishings and Chinese porcelain service are very fine. The Emperor Frederick III. spent some days here, and held here his last par- ade in the park. The Mausoleum in the park contains the tombs of Frederick William III. and Queen Louisa, the exquisite marble figures are by the famous sculptor Rauch, and are of Carrara marble. The structure has lately been enlarged and now also contains the marble recumbent figures of Emperor William I. and his Queen Augusta; their remains, also repose in the vault below. A small casket contains the heart of Frederick William IV. The artificially arranged light adds greatly to the solemnity of the place. The Porcelain Factory, founded by a private person, was soon after purchased for the state by Frederick the Great. The ware now manufactured can compete with that of Meissen. The architecturally fine Polytechnic School, in the main avenue leading to Berlin, is one of the finest equipped in the world, and numbers famous names among its staff of pro- fessors, and is visited by students from all parts of the world. The Flora, a large garden, and establish- ment for concerts and opera, was at one time celebrated for its Palm- House ; it can now be visited with pleasure and profit on week days. At West End, just up the hill, is the trotting -park, races at which, are announced by hand-bills in Berlin. The so-called Spandauer Bock ;is a favorite resort for the Berlin middle classes, from it a very pretty view. From here excursions by the Ringbahn to Halensee, Grunewald (Restaurant Hundekehl, very good), and beautiful Wannsee, delightfully situated on the lake of the same name, (Restaurant, Kaiser Pavilion).

The city is adorned by handsome promenades (Wall-Anlagen) on the ancient ramparts. All visitors to Bremen should not fail to visit the Burger-Park, the pet of the town's people. The origin of this park is very curious and is as follows : — -The citizens having at the beginning of the eleventh century no pasture land for their cattle, a certain Countess Emma von Lesum made them an offer of as much land as a cripple who could not walk, could encompass by creeping from sunrise to sunset. The cripple was found who accomplished his task well, as the present territory proves. Whether this is founded on truth or not, it is a fact that the present beauti- ful park, like Boston Common of yore, was at one time used as a pasture. It much resembles Central Park New- York. The Kaffeehaus on the Emma- see is a pleasant place of resort which can only by recommend for its restau- rant with good and cheap cooking. From here, a path leads over pretty bridges to the Meierei or Dairy Gardens, all worth seeing. There are many bridges over the Weser, connecting the Altstadt with the Neustadt. From Wacht-Strasse to the Werder is the Gross Briicke. There are steamers to Bremerhaven twice a day. 5* @\ BREMEN, HOTEL de l'EUROPE. Fit?sf- class house, situated on the promenade.

The Guard House and the Theatre are directly opposite in the Theater-Platz. The Hof-Theater is a grand structure in the Renais- sance style, opened 1878. It occu- pies an area of 5550 square yards and is considered to be one of the finest theatres in Europe. It was designed by Semper and is on the site of the old one, which was burnt down in 1869, and is crowned by a bronze group, Dionysus and Ariadne by Schilling. In the front of the building is the equestrain statue of King John, father of the present king. Weber's statue in bronze is between the Museum and Theatre.

Gunther and Rudolph, the well known banking firm, Reading-room, American and Eglish daily papers, "Graphic", is to be found there. One of the proprietors of the firm is the British Consul, Mr. Henri Palmie who, in a very liberal manner, is always at the dis- posal of English and Americans passing through Dresden. Mr. Carroll, the obliging American Consul is always ready to assist his fellow-countrymen with good advice, but do not trouble a man whose time is so much occupied, with needless questions. Henry Palmie Esq. of the well-known firm of Gunther & Rudolph, the Bri- tish Consul, always holds himself at the service of Her Brittanic Majesty's loyal subjects, also placing at their disposal the latest papers and maga- zines. Der Verein zur Hebung desFremden- Verkehrs is, in good Queen's^English, an exceedingly useful society for pro- motion of the interests of strangers, visiting this Florence on the Elbe. In its multifarious workings it virtually forms a headquarters for information, having for its sole aim the furtherance of the comfort and enjoyment of all strangers visiting the city, whether for a short or long time. The address of the society can be ascertained at any hotel, where a conspicuous placard of the society is generally to be found. Persons interested in seeing life at night in the Saxon metropolis, would do well to pay a visit to Cafe Central, corner of the Schloss Str. and the Altmarkt, where everything will be done for them by the genial proprie- tor and his staff of waiters. This cafe is also the resort of a champion billiard player, and a fine game can often be witnessed here. From here a horse-railway line runs to Blasewitz, a little villa town on the Elbe and well - known to Americans for its Weisse Schloss, the guests of which establishment are almost exclusively Americans, so that it can almost be called an American Exchange. Visi- tors to Blasewitz will, generally, cross the new foot bridge to Loschwitz, one of the prettiest suburbs of Dresden, picturesquely situated on hills, nestled among green trees. A little house is shown here where Schiller wrote his Don Carlos. Do not fail to ascend to the Victoriahohe, from the good restau- rant on which, a beautiful view can be had of the surrounding country, and that too without leaving our seats under the frees. On returning to Dresden make use of the cable road to the Weisser Hirsch, a favorite and well-known health resort, much fre- quented during the spring and summer months. From here a few moments, on a fine road, to the Restaurant Waldschlosschen , horse railway to Dresden through theNeustadt. Another very pretty excursion, and one little known to most tourists, is to Schloss Weesenstein in the Muglitz Thai, to reach which take train from the splen- did new Central Railway Station, near the American quarter. Change cars at Mugeln, having taken a through ticket from Dresden, and from Mugeln in ten minutes by the narrow gauge road, either direct to Weesenstein, or persons who do not mind walking three quarters of an hour, can get out at Dohna, and follow the shady pro- menade road, a few roads from the main road. The Castle which dates from the 16th century, is one of the most interesting and well preserved in Europe. It is built on rocks so that the upper stories are the oldest: the cellar is in the fifth story and the stable in the third! It is now the property of Prince George of Saxony, The Restaurant at the station is very plain, but very good. Before leaving Dresden, a visit to the salerooms of the Meissener Porcelain Factory, in the Schloss Str. will be found very profitable, and still more so, a trip to Meissen and a careful inspection of the eelebrated factory itself, one of the sights of Dresden.

The highest points are: on the left bank of the Elbe the Zschirnstein 1870 feet; the Hartenstein 1855 feet; the Kotzstein 1,572 feet; Konigstein 1870 feet. On the right bank: Grosse Winterberg 1883 feet; Kleiner Winter- berg 1640 feet; Prebisch Thor 1440 feet; Lilienstein 1368 feet; the Falkenberg 1952 feet. The Borsberg 1210 feet.. During the summer season, many tra- vellers visit Saxon Switzerland. From Dresden, trips are made by rail or by steamer. Steamers stop at: Loschwitz, Pillnitz, Pirna, Wehlen, Rathen, KOnig- stein, Schandau, Herrnskretschen, Me- dergrund and Tetschen. Trains stop at : Pirna, Potzscha, Rathen, Konigstein, Schandau and Herrnkretschen. The tourist proceeds from Wehlen to the Bastei, a walk of an hour and a half. From the Bastei it takes half an hour to get to Rathen, from there on to Hohenstein and thence to Schan- dau over the Brand on the frontier of Bohemia. Other points are the Kuh- stall 1060 feet, little Winterberg and great Winterberg, from which point the mountains of Saxony, Bohemia and Silesia can be seen. From this point in one hour to the Prebisch Thor, then on to Herrnskretschen, where the tourist takes the steamer to Konigstein, a little town at the foot of the rock upon which is a fortress of the same name, which it is very difficult to obtain permission to visit. From Lilienstein on the right bank of the Elbe, a fine view is obtained.— The valley of Bielagrund should also be visited. Excursion from Herrnskretschen to the Edmunds Klamm, a wonderful gorge, traversed by boat. Another pleasant tour, and one which travellers generally know nothing about, is as follows : from the Lichtenhainer Water- fall (not worth seeing), to Hinterherms- dorf (walk of two hours), thence to the Boots-Station (1 hour), then by boat through the Ober-Schleuse (sluice), then an hour and a half, through the shady and refreshing Kirnitsch-Thal (valley), to the Kirnitsch-Schenke, other- wise called Hinter-Dittersbach, in Bo- hemia (drinking and eating not good). After a good rest, from here in an hour and a quarter, to Dittersbach, one of the most beautiful regions in North Germany. Good and cheap quar ters and eating at Hotel Bellevue, situated on an eminence with a glorious view of the panoramic scenery. This is one of the most enjoyable spots in this part of the country. Carriages can be obtained everywhere. From Dittersbach, over Rainwiese (excellent hotel), either to the Edmunds- Klamm, in half an hour, or in a little over an hour to the Prebischthor, a natural gate formed by the action of the water on the rocks. Magnificent view from the top. The entire region of Saxon Switzerland, was at one time, undoubtedly volcanic. From Prebisch- thor to Herrnskretschen direct. 283 SCHANDAU Fiirsf Class Pension 6lysium.

Population 179,800. This town was annexed to Prussia in 1866. Previous to that date it was a free town and the seat of the Ger- man Diet. The streets are wide and handsome, Zcil being the principal thoroughfare. The Romer is an an- cient building where the Electors of the Empire used to meet for the election of Emperor. It contains portraits of the Emperors from Conrad I to Francis II. The Cathedral is an an- cient edifice of the 13th cent, which was greatly damaged by fire in 1868, but has been restored.

The new building of the Post- Office Department was dedicated October 18, 1895 with appropriate ceremonies; Dr. Stephan making a very fitting address and pleasantly referring to the birthday of the Em- peror Frederick. It is an interesting fact that the present structure occupies the site of the building, in' which the former German Bundestag held its sessions, and in which Wilhelm I. often stayed when in the city, A statue of the first German Emperor has been erected in the court-yard. The Dom or Cathedral Church is historically, the most interesting build- ing in Frankfort, as being more con- nected with German history than any other one building. Here in the chapel on the south side of the church, the Electors proceeded to choose the Emperor, Maximilian was the first Emperor elected and crowned in the Cathedral. Giinther von Schwarz- burg, one of the kings, died shortly after his election and lies buried in the Cathedral. An ascent of the steeple or tower is well worth the while. The church belongs to the Catholics, but the chimes are the pro- perty of the city; the largest bell re- quires sixteen men to ring it. In the Historical Museum, near by, are some intensely interesting archives and do- cuments, also a good collection of paintings by old masters; free ad- mission Wednesday and Sunday from 10 to 1.00 o'clock. Fahrgasse 17, is a handsome medieval stone structure called the Fihsteneck, erected in the 15th century, with a fine antique hall in the renaissance style. The former handsome paneling was sold in 1887 and carried to England. At No. 146, in the same street, is the famous banking house of the Rothschilds. Passing through the Batton Str., we notice a large old monastery with the ruins of a church. This latter was called the church of the Dominicans and was erected in 1238. In it Adolf of Nassau and Henry VII. were chosen to wear the imperial crown. The heart and bowels of Margrave Al- brecht Achilles of Brandenburg lie buried in the choir. The monastery was sequestrated in 1790. Returning to the Borne Str. we come to the Borne Platz, the former Judenmarkt, to the left of which stands the new synagogue. Through the Lange Str. to the Stadtbibliothek or City Library, 106 containing a valuable collection of books, manuscripts and coins, some 200,000 of the latter. In the vestibule is a statue of Goethe, in a sitting posture. Admission free; Monday and Friday 9-1, and Wednesdays from 3-5 p,m. Before the Obermainbrucke is a statue of Lessing. Passing over the bridge, we come to Sachsen- hausen, "well and favorably known for its social inhabitants and ex- cellent cider. Before us lie the extensive > slaughter houses covering somewhat over 41,000 sq. meter. From here we have a fine view up the Main and the blue outlines of the hills of the Spessart. Continuing along the Deutschenherrnkai, and following the track of the electric railway, we pass the Elephantenthurm and the Kuhhirtenthurm, remains of the old ramports, and come to the former home of the Deutschen Orden, dating from the year 1190. Not far from here is the old bridge or Sachsen- hausen bridge, and the statue of Charlemagne, the founder of Frank- fort. Passing along the Schaumainkai, we continue through a delightfully shady avenue, lined with villas, on the left, to the Wilhelmsbrucke and the street of the same name, where the restaurant zur Mainwarte with its spacious and shady garten invites us to enter and refresh ourselves. For those fond of ascending steps, the tower with 125 steps affords a fine view over the Main. The Wilhelm- Strasse itself is beautifully laid out with grounds covered with flowering shrubs, the resort of Frankfort's fashionable world, and a part of the city no stranger should miss seeing. Proceeding a little farther, we reach the so-called Nizza the most beautiful part of this wonder:, of landscape gardening, ornamented with every conceivable kind of exotic plants, one of the principal points of attraction. The Leonhardskirche, on the same quay, the ground for which was pre- sented by the Emperor Frederick II. in 1 129, is one of the finest and oldest churches in the city.

There are five cold springs of saline ferruginous acidulated water. Their principal constituents arc chloride of sodium, chloride of calcium, iron, lithium and carbonic acid.

Another effect of the waters which is, however, only to be found in two of them, the Stahl and the Louisen- Brunnen, is their tonic action, which may be ascribed to the great amount of ferrous carbonate contained in them.

HOTELS: Stadt Konigsberg in the BrauerStrasse, Einsiedler. Population 55,000 and a garrison of over 7000. Wackermann's Hohe (Brauhaus Berg), with good restaurant and fine view of the city. Trains from Berlin direct in half an hour. Carriages always waiting at the station, but be sure and make a bargain beforehand. 12 Marks is the usual price for a tour through Potsdam taking the route specified below. For 15 Marks a carriage can be had for the whole day; although beer can be given to the driver extra. Tickets are to be had for admission to the palaces for 25 Pfg. for each person, thus avoiding the necessity of giving gratuities. Leaving the railway station we drive first over the Lange Brucke, a fine structure. On the left is the Stadt-Schloss, where Frederick the Great often resided when not at his favorite Sans Souci; the palace is now seldom used except for christen- ings and at the great parades, which are held in the so-called Lustgarten, in front. The palace itself is hardly worth visiting. Near here, in the market place, is the Nicolai-Kirche, designed by Schinkel. The Rathhaus close by, surmounted by a figure of Atlas. An Obelisk stands in front. Beyond the Stadt-Schloss is the Gar- nison-Kirche (Garrison Church), with a beautiful chime of bells; it was founded by Frederick William I, who with his illustrious son Frederick II. (the Great) is buried here. Napoleon I. when in Potsdam, had the coffins opened. From here, passing the barracks of the Hussars and Garde du Corps to Glienicke. From the bridge a charm- 151 ing view over the lakes of the Havel ; to the right, after leaving the bridge, is the palace of Prince Leopold, the son of the late Prince Frederick Karl, and cousin and brother in-law of the present Emperor. We now turn to the right proceeding to Schloss Babels- berg, a modern but elegant structure, the favorite abode of the Emperor William I. and the Empress Augusta. Near the entrance to Schloss Babels- berg is a good garden restaurant. Every thing worthy of note is well explained by the female guide. On returning to Potsdam make a short detour to the Pfaueninsel, now used by the Imperial family for afternoon parties and as a playground for the princes, for this reason it is not al- was to be seen. Frome here to the Marmor-Palais on the Heiligen-See, beautiful little palace built under Frederick William II who died here. The present Emperor occupied the palace as Crown-Prince. From here a pleasant walk of 20 minutes to the Meierei, prettily situated on the lake. Only milk is to be had here as the name Meierei (dairy) signifies. On stopping at the Marmor-Palais the driver should be told to drive on to the Meierei and wait there From here to the Pfingstberg, on which, two towers, from which a fine view, not so good, however, as from the Orangery. A beautiful and ex- tensive building, in front of which, on the terrace, is a copy of the Farnese Bull. The view from the terrace over the gardens and park of Sans Souci is deligthful, and well justifies the appellation of the German Versailles. In the interior some fine copies from Raphael, and beautifully inlaid tables. A little farther on are the Italian Gardens. We now. cross the street and enter the Park of Sans Souci. On reaching the Central Mall, stop and observe the perspective; at one end the Neues Palais (New Palace), in the middle, the great fountain and at the farther end the Obelisk. Standing be- fore the fountain, we have a very good view of the terraces, with their gorgeous display of flowers, and the front of the palace, built by Frederick the Great, after designs by Knobels- dorff, the favorite residence of this monarch and in which he died. The palace is historically interesting, con- taining many reminiscenes of the Great Frederick; the couch on which he died, the chairs in which his favorite grey- hounds slept, his music stand &c, every thing remaining as he left it, in the apartments which he occupied. The present Emperor, William II., not long ago gave a delightful entertain- ment in these apartments to a select company, in honor of the famous painter Menzel ; all taking part includ- ing the Emperor, with the sole ex- ception of Menzel himself, were attired in the costume of the time of Fre- derick. It was what Americans would call a surprise party. The favorite dogs of Frederick the Great are buried on the terrace, according to his special directions. From here to the Friedens-Kirche in which, Frederick William IV. and his Queen are buried. In an adjoining Mausoleum (admission by ticket only), the Emperor Fre- derick III. is buried; the marble sar- cophagus by Begas, is very beautiful. The entire structure was erected at the expense of the Empress Frederick. The princes Siegesmund and Wal- demar, infant brothers of the present Emperor are buried in the Chancel. Near here, the pretty, little, palatial villa of Charlottenhof, and a few steps farther the Roman Villa contain- ing a bathhouse, bath of jasper and some very pretty statuary. From here to the New Palace (Neues Palais), shown only in the absence of the Imperial family who reside here the greater part of the year. The palace was built by Frederick the Great after the Seven Years War, in 1763. It was six years in building. The Muschel-Saal which we first enter is exquisitely inlaid with shells and pre- cious minerals, some of which are pointed out by the guide. There is also a theatre, used on state occasions, concert and ball room. The Wildpark, near here, is well stocked with deer. A walk through it in the morning or towards evening, will make a lasting impression upon any lover of nature. At the Bairisches Hduschen a good plain lunch and glass of beer can al- ways be had. Other pleasant ex- cursions in the neighborhood can be made with profit, partly on foot, 152 partly by steamboat to Nedlitz, Rorner- schanze, Sacrow, with its pretty church, picturesque park and quaint old Church- yard. In the park is an Oak, said to be iooo years old. Furthermore to Caput h, Baumgartenbriick, and Templin. PUTBUS. With 1600 inhabitants. HOTELS: Bellevue and Fiirstenhof. Is a watering- place on the east side of the island of Rugen in the Baltic, belonging to the Prince of Putbus. The Palace was destroyed by fire in 1865, but has been rebuilt. In the grounds are the Mauso- leum and statue. Points of interest are Sassnitz, a favorite summer resort of the Empress and little Princes, and the chalky cliffs of the Stubbenkammer. The island being diversified by woods and rocks is a suitable place for a long stay, especially in the summer. PYRMONT. With 1700 inhabitants. Grand Hotel des Bains; Lippischer Hof ; Krone; Waldeckar Hof\ VogeVs Pension. A charming little town in the valley of the Emmer, with beneficial mineral springs. Station on the main line Berlin-Co- logne, All the fast express trains stop at Pyrmont, so that direct com- munications can be made with all parts of Europe, Pyrmont is 5 hours from Berlin, 6 from Hamburg, 5 from Leipzig, 4V2 from Halle, 5 from Co- logne, 2 from Hanover, 3V2 from Cassel, 8 from Frankfort on the Main, 10 from Amsterdam and 21 hours from London. Pop. 1700. Pyrmont is the seat of government and courts of justice, Imperial post-office, with tele- graph and telephone connection with the principal cities , custom - house, evangelical, old Lutheran and Roman Catholic churches and a synagogue. English High Church Service is held during the season in the evangelical church. The season begins May 1st. and ends Oct. 1st, The baths are, however, kept open as long as at least 12 baths are taken daily. Fees for baths: One person 15 Marks, and every additional member of a family, 7 Marks. Parents, children, and children entrusted to their care are regarded as one family. Children not dependent upon their parents, are not regarded as belonging to, as members, of the same family, and must accordingly pay full fees.

From the 15th of June till August 31st, a warm bath, during the hours from 8.30 a. m. to 12.00 noon, costs 30 Pfg. more. In the Moorbadhaus, a mud bath costs 3.50. In the Soolbadhaus, a warm bath costs 1.60; a shower bath 50 & 30 resp. From June 15th till August 31st, from 9.30 to 11.30 a. m., 20 Pfg. extra is charged for every warm bath. A warm sheet is fur- nished with every warm bath; with every mud bath, a carpet and com- press. More linen can be had, but will be charged extra. No other health resort can begin to compare with Pyrmont, in the va- riety, richness and importance of its mineral springs. Its iron, acidulous or chalybeate springs, have their rise in in a sandstone formation just above the town. Their geological character has been very interestingly and ably described in a small pamphlet, by Prof. Ludwig. The Stahlbadhaus, (Chalybeate spring house) contains seventy well furnished bath - rooms, with slate, marble and porcelain tubs, in which, by means of copper coils at the bottom, the water can quickly be heated by steam, The originally rich quantity of carbonic acid contained in the spring, by this method of warming, suffers little decrease. Such a bath has a vivifying effect upon the muscles and nerves, stimulating the muscles of the heart. There are also separate rooms for shower baths, besides a very completely appointed Russian Bath. The Moorbad or mud bath, is adjoin- ing the Stahlbadhaus opened in 1891 and furnished -with all necessary con- veniences, it enjoys great popularity. Owing to its containing such rich quantities of iron, sulphur, besides oxygen products of the same, as well as carbonic acid, ammonia, formic acid, ulmic acid, ulmine etc., it can certainly 153 Unit of quanth^ ; iooo parts of water. be considered the peer, aud by many, is considered superior, to the mineral mud baths of Marienbad and Franzens- bad.

Celsius, und is pure, colorless, bubbles slightly, in a quiescent state, and more actively, when shaken. It is tasteless and has a cool, agreeable, saline flavor, at once stimulates the stomach, is slightly laxative, works favorably on the digestion, increases the secretive power of the kidneys, 154 and promotes the fresh formation of matter in the system. The Soolbad- haus, (Brine baths) contains sixty spacious rooms, furnished in exactly the same manner as those in the Stahlbadhaus. These Brine Baths, known from time immemorial in their present form, have a very marked in- fluence upon formations in processes of disease. The mineral drinking waters of the Main spring and Helenen spring as well as the salt waters of the saline spring, are bottled and sold. The enormous emission of liberated carbonic acid of the boiling spring is made use of to eliminate the at- mospheric air fiom the bottles. 100,000 whole and half bottles are thus filled every year, and must be kept in a cool place, laid on their sides. Cow's asses' and goat's milk are to be had near the Trinkhalle. Massage and medico-electric treatment is always accessible. The baths them- selves are efficacious in cases of trouble in nursing and the making of blood, anaemia, poverty of blood, diseases resulting from child-bed, ob- stinate cases of convalescence, kidney diseases, malaria, swelling of the spleen, and syphilitic complaints. Furthermore for almost all diseases of the nervous system, hysteria, St. Vitus' dance, neuralgia, chronic head ache and paralysis. The waters also accelerate the activity of debilitated organs, especially those of the digestion, too great laxativeness of the bowels, an excessive flow ot mucous, and are known to work favorably in cases of sterility, impotence and weakness of the bladder. The saline spring water cannot be too strongly recommended in cases of chronic catarrh, diseases of the bronchial tubes, for the urinal and sexual organs, for swelling of the liver, spleen and womb, for the re- moval of all infiltrations and exudations, the result of inflammation, in female diseases, diseases of the joints, scrofula, rachitis, rheumatism, gout, &c. We would, however, always recommend consulting some good local physician, as the best -of waters often fail in their effect, if not judicially used. As will be gathered from the above, the Pyrmont baths are especially for ladies, although many gentlemen make use of them, as will be observed on walking through the charming pro- menade. The management has amply provided for the entertainment and amusement of the guests. The band of the establishment, composed of able musicians, discourses music, during the season, an hour and a half every morning and two hours in the afternoon, besides four times a week in the evening. The lately re- novated and newly decorated theatre, offers an opportunity of seeing good acting by members of court and city theatres. Performances and concerts are given in the Kursaal, every Wed- nesday. The open air concerts, on the promenade, between nine and ten o'clock in the evening form the great attraction of the day. Before closing this well deserved eulogy, a word respecting the climate, which must al- ways form an important factor in choosing a Cure. The beautiful and extensive Pyrmont valley lies between two spurs of the Weser range of mountains, and is traversed by the little Emmer river, well known for its good fishing qualities, which rises in the Teutoburger Wald, -which is well worth a visit, and flows into the Weser not far from the ancient and interesting town of Hameln, famed for its rat-catcher of yore. An excursion to Hameln, leaving Pyrmont in the morning, is well worth the while. The bottom of the valley is iao meter above the level of the sea, and con- sists mainly, of fertile meadow land. The climate of Pyrmont is that of Central Germany. The town itself, and the palace of the prince, is situated on rising ground on the slopes of the mountains, and is well protected from raw winds. The porous soil prevents the accumulation of too great moisture. The sanitary police regulations are every thing that could be wished. For tourists, spending only a day or two in this beautiful spot we would recommend the good restaurants: Cafe of Rasmussen, Court Purveyor, and Kierim, the proprietor of the "Giftbude", which latter place belies its unaesthetic name by giving its guests as fine a dinner as can be en- joyed at Delmonico's or the finest Parisian restaurant. Good schools enable families with children to make use of their advantages. 155 ^■Q »,g)T(5<^(» o. 6) Hill 1 Station on the Hauaucr-AItenbekener R. R.

Hotels at the steamboat- landing. A village of 3300 inhabitants, from where tourists usually start on a trip to the Seven Mountains. A railroad runs to the top of the Drachenfels from ■whence can be seen the extinct volcano Roderberg with its crater 100 feet deep and 1000 feet in cii- cumference. The Petersberg. 334 feet above the level of the sea, in the Siebengebirge, the so-called Seven Mountains, is one of the most commanding points of view, not even excepting the renowned Drachenfels, in the romantic Rhine district, a region, by no means poor in picturesque points. The term Seven Mountains, is somewhat of a misnomer, seeing there are more than this number of peaks. On the steep declivities of the Petersberg, the vine luxuriantly grows, and the ripening grapes add to the beauty and pic- turesqueness of this spot of earth, which is further enriched by the verdant foliage of beech trees. In the midst of all these natural beauties,; the Petersberg raises its massive head towering above all its sisters. The summit presents a surface equal to about twenty English acres. No other eminence on the banks of the Rhine, so rich in legendary lore, presents such favorable opportunities for de- lightful walks, amidst bracing and ex- hilarating mountain and forest air, as the Petersberg. Its commanding position affords the most charming views in all directions. Towards the north the eye stretches far away to the plains of the lower Rhine, and far away in the background, the im- posing towers of the Cologne Ca- thedral, The view of the interior of the Siebengebirge is unique in its way, and the old Abbey of Heister- bach, imbedded iu leafy green, with its Romanic church, presents a most imposing appearance. The Petersberg itself is crowned by a well preserved Chapel, erected in 1762. View of the pretty little town of Konigs- winter, from which, besides a shady foot and carriage way, a railway, starting from the surface railway station, carries tourists to the broad plateau of the mountain. According to the latest time-table, 15 to 20 trains run daily, the ascent and descent taking ten minutes. There is also no lack of other means of transportation. Post-office, telegraph and telephone are to be found in the Hotel, a build- ing constructed in the form of a feudal castle and commanding a fine view of the surrounding country. The Hotel is first-class in every respect, and is furnished with all the modern comforts and conveniences. Its ex- cellent cooking, catering to the most dainty palate, is not less widely known than' the delicious fruit of the vine, with which, it treats the traveller, at exceedingly, moderate charges. The 196 band on the veranda on the we stside of the mountain, contributes by the strains of the guitar to the entertain- ment of the guests. On Wednesdays the band of a Cologne cavalry re- giment gives concerts here. The guests feel themselves entranced as it were, by the magical effect of the surroundings, and the stimulating effect of the delicious wines, contribute to lull the sojonrners in a delightful feeling of bliss, from which they awake the next morning, after slumbering on beds of down, to enjoy the sight of the fleeting mountain mists and the resplendent glories of the landscape unrolled before their vision. For persons with an imaginative or im- pressionable turn of mind, we can heartily recommend a stay upon the Petersberg. m Koriigswinter. HOTEL ON THE PETERSBERG 334 metres above the sea.

Grafenwerth island adjoining, is celebrated, in the ballad of Ritter Togenburg, by Schiller, and in the Legend of Roland. OBERWINTER. Magnificent view of the Drachenfels. The steepest, and by many considered to be the most beautiful of the Sieben- gebirge, near Konigswinter, on the right bank of the Rhine, was said to have been the abode of the dragon, conquered by the mythical hero Sieg- fried, the subject of some of Wagners operas. The old Castle, the ruins of which form one of the conspicuous landmarks of the Rhine, is supposed to have been built by Archbishop Frederick I. of Cologne. The eminence itself is 325 meter high and 277 meter above the Rhine. The Cologne Ca- thedral was built of the stone taken from the quarries, the property of the Prussian State. A railway conveys passengers to the top of the mount, on which stands a column, on the site of a former obelisk, commemorat- ing the patriots who fell for their country in the wars against Napoleon, when Prussia threw off the yoke of the Corsican. Persons ascending the Drachenfels on foot, which we can advise good walkers to do, would do well to follow the old bridle path, passing the magnificent Castle of Drachenburg, belonging to Baron von Sarter. On the Terrace, 30 meter, or ten minutes from the top, tourists will find an excellent Hotel, where every attention will be paid to theii physical needs. Board can also be obtained here.

One of the Great Powers of Central Europe; since the compromise agreed to in 1867, a dual monarchy, designated officially as the Austria -Hungarian Empire. It is situated in the south- eastern part of Europe with Bavaria, Saxony and Prussia as its western and northern neighbors, Russia, Rou- mania and Turkey on the East, Italy on the South and Switzerland on the South- West. The mighty Danube flows through the heart of the empire. The Empire is divided politically into two parts; the Cis-Leithan and Trans- Lett han, the Little Leitha river form- ing the boundary line. The Cis-Leithan section embraces Lower Austria, capital Vienna; Upper Austria, chief town, Linz; the Tyrol and Vorarlberg, Innsbruck and Meran, chief towns; Styria, chief town Graz; Carinthia, chief town, Klagenfurt; Carniola (Krain), chief town, Laibach; Gorizia (Ger.

The Trans- Leithan Section, with Buda-Pesth as capital 45 Comitats or counties, the Hungarian Crown Lands; Sieben- biirgen or Transylvania, chief town Klausenburg : Croatia, Agram; Sla- vonia, Esseg; Fiume, the only Hun- garian port; Bosnia, Serajevo; the Herzegovina; Mostar; which latter with Novi-Bazar, are now governed by Austria. AREA. The entire ground of the em- pire embraces about 250,000 sq. miles, not including Bosnia and the Herze- govina with some 24,000 square miles and a million and a half of inhabitants, who under the protectorate of Austria, are very happy and prosperous. The empire proper has over 42,000,000 in- habitants, over 10,000,000 of whom are Germans. MOUNTAINS. The highest and grandest are in the Tyrol; the prin- cipal one of which, the Ortler, near the Upper Engadine, is 12,815 ft. above the level of the sea, with magnificent glaciers in the vicinity of Sulden and Trafoi, on the Stelvio pass, near the Stilfserjoch road, the highest road in the Alps. (See The Tyrol with de- tailed description). The Gross Glockner, 12,455 feet, in the Noric Alps; the Terglou, nearWurzen, 9730 feet high; the Brenner Pass is, at its highest point, 4390 feet high, the Franzensfeste a strongly fortified point, near Unterau, is 2510 feet. (See Bozen). The pass over the Katschberg, between Salz- burg and Carinthia, is 5385 feet. The Loibl Pass, between Klagenfurt and Krainburg, in the Carnic Alps, cut through the solid rock, is 4495 ft. high. The Predil Pass, between Gorz and Villach, is 3810 ft. high. The Semmering Pass is at Semmering, 2840 feet high. This line leads direct from Vienna to Trieste, and exhibits some fine engineering. The Schnee- koppe, the highest point of the Riesen- Gebirge, or Giant mountains, in Silesia, is about 5000 feet above the sea. Of the Carpathian mountains, pretty much a continuous chain of the foregoing, some of the western peaks are 7500 ft. high, the Hohe Tatra 8750 feet. These last are best reached from Vienna through the pretty Waag Valley. RIVERS. The largest and longest River, the Danube, rises in the Black Forest in Baden, and empties in the form of a Delta, into the Black Sea. The scenery along certain parts of the river is grander than on the Rhine, the mountains being higher and more rugged. The prettiest part is between Melk and Linz, a delightful sail. Next in point of size, are the Theiss, the Drave, the Save, the Etsch in the Tyrol, the Moldau in Bohemia, which flows into the Elbe, the Dniester in Galicia, and the beautiful Waag, a tributary of the Danube. GOVERNMENT. A constitutional 227 15* monarchy, at present ruled by the Emperor Francis Joseph I. at the same time King of Hungary, who was born Aug. 18, 1830, and who succeeded his uncle, Ferdinand I. Dec. 2, 1848; one of the most popular and revered of European sovereigns. The Reichs- rat or Imperial parliament, is com- posed of a House of Lords and House of Representatives, the members of the latter being chosen for six years. Hungary has its separate parliament, similarly constituted, and Croatia- Slavonia a state legislature. PRODUCTS. The soil being ex- ceedingly fertile, the empire is emi- nently a grain growing country, the great forests giving a large yield of timber. Austria-Hungary, with its dependent states, has from time im- memorial, been known for its ex- ceedingly ,rich mineral resources, of which coal, bituminous and anthracite, are the most important; in this respect it may be called the store-house of Europe, for there are extensive coal fields yet untouched. Saxony and South Germany are large consumers of Austrian coal. As a natural con- sequence of the presence of fuel, we find the manufacturing branch very strongly developed, especially under the rule of the present Emperor, who has done much to ameliorate the lot of the poorer classes and at the same time improve the industrial arts, Gold is found in moderate quantities in Sieben- biirgen, silver in Hungary and Bo- hemia. Quicksilver has, the last ten years proved very productive. Ca- rinthia is known for its fruitful lead mines, Iron, a staple product, is found almost everywhere in the monarchy. Galicia is famous for its oil wells. The extensive salt mines supply half of Europe with this indispensable commodity. The tobacco manufacture is in the hands of the government, the revenues resulting from which are very considerable. All kinds of pre- cious stones are found in the various parts of the empire. COMMERCE. —The amount of ex- ports and imports amounts to some- thing like, 6,800,000,000 dollars, Germany being by far the best customer and largest consumer. Transatlantic trade, is necessarily re- stricted, for lack of seaports, Trieste and Fiume being the only ones- Austria and Hungary are good wine producing countries. Good Austrian wines are ; Voslauer (red) and Gum- poldskirchner (white) Hungarian wines are Tokay er, Erlauer (white) andKarlo- witzer (red) besides, many other good brands to be found in the country. . BATHS. — Karlsbad Giesshiibl- Puchstein and Bilin in Bohemia (See Karlsbad), Franz ensb ad, Marienbad,. Teplitz, Gastein, Ischl, Baden near Vienna, Herculesbad near Mehadia in, Hungary, one of the oldest saline baths, known, also a sulphur bath fed by, an artesian well, and second in its appointments to no other bath on the continent. (See respective places.) ROUTES. — Persons arriving in England would do well to take the fastest, via Dover, Calais or Ostende r thence via Brussels, Cologne, Frank- fort, Vienna. Visitors to Paris can take the Orient Express via Strassburg, Munich and Vienna. The second class cars being very comfortable, can be made use of all over the continent. The Austrian passenger tariff is much simplified by the Zone System, for, which uniform rates are charged within each zone. All baggage is charged extra. Government levies a tax of two per cent on railway-tickets, which, however, can never amount to more than 15 kreuzers, about six cents, on each ticket. Standard Mid-European Time, one hour in advance of Green- . wich time, is now observed in Austria, as well as throughout Germany. POSTAGE. — Austria belonging to- the Postal Union, the rate of postage is the same as in other countries ot the Union. Letters in Austria, five kreuzers, including the German Empire; letters for other countries, not ex- ceeding V2 ounce in weight, ten kreuzers. Postal cards, five kreuzers. As the rates for telegrams to the United States are often variable, it is best to inquire at the . main office. Telegrams to England cost three pence a word. HOTELS. - — The prices of rooms range from one florin or gulden up- wards, according to size and location. Meals are not put on the bill, but are to be .paid for on the spot. Light and service are each charged extra. Tip for chambermaid. 50 kreuzers, for, 223 a long stay, proportionately less ; ;■ an equal sum to the man who blacks your boots. j A simple breakfast of coffee, bread and butter, is charged from 50-90 kreuzers. MONEY. — The system, introduced in 1892, is on the gold basis and notes payable in gold. We would advise travelers to try and get rid of Austrian money before leaving the country, or they may lose on changing, ico Heller = a Krone = 20 cents, the new system of reckoning, although the old system, the gulden = 50 cents, is still much in vogue. Gold coins of 10 and 20 Kronen; Silver Krone and 50 Heller pieces, besides copper coins of lesser denominations. The Krone is equal to a little less than half a gulden. The gulden — 2 Marks German or 50 cents in U. S. currency. , There are gulden bank notes as follows: 1, 5, 10, 100, 1000 gulden respectively. ABBAZIA. A thriving and growing town on the Istrian Coast, rapidly becoming a great favorite health and sea-bathing resort with the aristocratic and fashion- able world.

Protected on the north by high mountains it offers great inducements to persons inclined, to, or suffering from consumption.

The exhibition itself will comprise the historic treasures and monuments of the Hungarian Nation, and will give a faithful reflex of present conditions, Agriculture, Trade, Finance and Credit System, the various Industries, Social, Art and Literary Life, Hygiene, Mili- tary condition, &c, of Hungary. The Exhibition will cover an area of 510,000 square meter, the expenses will amount to some five million Gulden.

The exhibition will also serve as an inducement, for groups and societies, representing all interests whatsoever, whether international or national, to hold their meetings here. Among other festivities of the Millenial Anniversary will be: the formal opening of the Eisernen Thor (Iron Gate), the unveiling of monuments and the dedication of public buildings and institutions. Full descriptions of the Exhibition and the Millenial Festivities, together with other matter relating to the celebration, will be published later.

Gieshubl-Sauerbrunnen is a health- resort which cannot easily be equalled in natural attractions. The valuable spring of sparkling mineral water there, was mentioned in 1522 by Payer de Cubito and Reudenius, under the name of "Buchsauerling", and styled xi a. long known and health giving beverage". In the year 1888 nearly 500 patients underwent treatment there, while the visitors numbered upwards of 26,000. This health-resort is about 1025 feet above the level of the sea; it is north- east of Carlsbad, which can be reached by road in an hour and a half, while Welchau-Wickwitz, a station on the Buschterader railway, can be reached in half an hour, the roads to both places being good. It is situated in a wide valley surrounded by heights, the buildings being on both banks of the Eger which makes a double bend there and is spanned by two bridges. The air is heavily charged with ozone, especially apparent in the early morning. The ideal of climatic health- resorts as defined in the following terms by Dr. Schreiber of Aussee: — "A place exempt from miasma, free from dust and wind, where there is the minimum of organic matter, and where there are not infrequent at- mospheric depressions", moreover, ' ; where there is pure fresh air from morning to night and from night to morning, throughout the year, such a place is the one to satisfy all impartial and unprejudiced medical men". Now all these conditions are completely ful- filled at Gieshiibl-Puchstein, as has been proved by experience. Nowhere else do nervous, consumptive, and asthmatic patients feel more comfort- able than there, and for those who suffer from emphysema the air-"cure" is combined with a pneumatic one which is specially adapted to relieve it. Lodgings. — The accomodation for visitors to this health-resort comprises several villas, three large dwelling houses, one hotel, three restaurants and a hydropathic establishment, the whole containing upwards of 120 apartments and all being well fur- nished, having fire-places, and being easily accessible. In addition there are several private houses where lodgers are taken. There are three restaurants belonging to the proprietor of this health-resort, under the super- vision of the Director, in which all kinds of wholesome fare, from the plainest to the most elaborate, can be had at proportionate prices. Breakfast costs from 15 to 30 kreutzers. Dinner from 50 kreutzers to 2 florins and upwards. Supper from 20 kreutzers to 1 florin and upwards. Visitors can be boarded, including lodging, attendance, breakfast, dinner and supper from 12 to 20 florins a week each. The Director supplies coupons for board and lodging. In addition there are private houses with kitchens attached. Life here is pleasant and un- conventional, all the pretentiousness of other places of the kind, and the requirements about dressing, being unknown at Gieshubl - Puchstein. Visitors meet each other at the hy- dropathic establishment, at the springs, in the restaurants, in the walks, at the concerts, and select those with whom their tastes induce them to form a closer acquaintance without falling into the dreaded cliquism of other watering places. Those who seek for repose and isolation can gratify their taste ; those who require cheerful intercourse will find a sufficient number of other persons of the like disposition. Visitors elect from any of their number a Committee to arrange about amusements, and the daily programme is set forth on the black notice board. There are ample provisions for draw- ing up such a program. The amuse- ments include boating-excursions on the Eger in which there are five Ham- burg keeled boats, and a convenient landing stage; billiards; a covered bowling alley, paved with asphalt; a well - appointed shooting gallery; a croquet ground and lawn-tennis-court; a pretty theatre, where many foreign 219 artists, singers, and actors appear, where musicians give performances and concerts, and where the artistic talent among the visitors is awakened and displayed at very entertaining amateur performances. A good piano and a well stocked musical library are also provided. Once a week the band, conducted by Pleier, comes from Carlsbad. There is a circu- lating library and a reading room, supplied with the best newspapers in different languages. The fishing in the Eger and Lomitz is excellent. There is a monkey-house on the penin- sula. Lastly, pleasant excursions can be made to places in the vicinity, such as SchOmitzstein, Engelhaus, Oed- schlossberg, Dunkelsberg, Stichelmuhl, Duppau, Sachsengriin, Welchau, Lomitz in the Mittelgebirge, Hauenstein with its fine castle and park, and Schlacken- werth. The more distant but attractive places are Carlsbad, Hans - Heiling, Petschau, Elbogen, Dallwitz with its famous oaks, the Erzgebirge from Bar- ringen to Gottesgab and the Keilberg, which is 3600 feet high, and commands a fine view, and many other beautiful spots in the Erzgebirge range and the valley of the Eger. Conveyances or animals are provided by the Director of the establishment for excursions in the neighbourhood, and carriages with one or two horses. Chief among the means of treatment at Giesshtibl-Puchstein are its excellent mineral springs including the refresh- ing Giesshubler -which, when drank at the source, well deserves to be called the very best of mineral waters. Besides the springs there is a hydro- pathic establishment after the newest model, a chamber for inhaling the finely eliminated gaseous water of the Ldschner spring, according to the method of Dr. Gastl, after it is mixed with pine-needle oil, tannin, brine and other things, and where several patients can inhale this compound in company. There is also an arrangement for in- haling hot air; a pneumatic chamber for the rarified and compressed air treatment, and also the oldest graduated ascending path, dating from 1883. There is a bath-house well arranged for giving all kinds of medicated and electric baths and in which pro- vision is made for massage and elec- trical applications of all kinds. Finally, the best cow and goat's whey is sup- plied and there is an establishment in which all foreign mineral waters may be drunk. The hydropathic system of treatment is recommended in neurasthenia and hysteria, and according to the methods of Beard and Playfair, for nervous complaints of all sorts, from the slightest uneasiness down to developed paralysis and cramps; also in melancholia and cases of depression, in peripheral paralysis and nervous affections, in- somnia, ataxy, and atrophy. This mode of treatment is also avail- able in cases of diseases of the blood and vascular system, in anaemia, chlo- rosis, menstrual disturbances, scro- phula, syphilis, and obesity; Also in chronic catarrh of the larynx and the air passages, in combination with the internal use of Giesshubler; Also in bronchial catarrh and emphy- sema, after pleurisy, and in combination with the pneumatic treatment; Also in maladies of the lower bowels; such as irregular and imperfect digestion, heartburn, catarrh of the stomach and bowels, vomiting, colic, torpidity of the bowels, obstruction, stoppage of the bowels, tumours of the spleen and liver; also during and after intermittent fever, malaria, chronic disease of the kidneys, albuminuria, catarrh of the bladder, and dropsy. Also in maladies of the generative organs such as floodings, chronic ex- sudation of the mucous membrane, tendency to abortion, in ulcerations, during treatment after serious oper- ations and laparotomy; In Rheumatism and gout it is not only curative but preventive and pro- phylactic, and in long standing inflam- mation of the periosteum and ulcers on the feet; Finally, it is of service in skin diseases, especially old chronic acne, chronic eczema, prurigo, atonic ab- scesses, thickening of the skin as a result of inflammation.

One of the finest collections of armor known. Innsbruck as a winter health resort for pet sons inclined to consumption. Professor Jaccoud of Paris, acknow- ledged to be one of the first authori- ties on consumption, has given great attention the last thirty years to the means for the prevention of con- sumption, and his results having such direct reference to Innsbruck, as com- ing under his observation, that we feel it our duty to briefly mention them in connection with this other- wise interesting town. The funda- mental qualities of high elevations can be summed up as follows: thin at- mosphere, manifested by barometric depression, winter, temperature cold, often extremely cold, but not subject to violent changes, so baneful to con- sumptive persons. A longer or shorter period of snowfall. Dryness and clearness of the air. Absence of winds, during the winter months, as well as fog, and cloudy days, in- tensity of the sun's rays. These characteristics, observed at high ele- vations, produce a series of effects in perfect harmony with the means for the treatment of consumption. The stimulating effect of the climate of high latitudes tends to increase the appetite and at the same time to fa- cilitate the digestion, strengthens the muscles and has a general stimulat- ing effect upon the entire nervous system. Specific results are as follows : Increase of the blood corpuscles and the quantity of blood coloring matter. 252 the capability of the blood to absorb oxygen, increased activity of the digestive organs and change of matter, proved by the greater per cent of exhaled carbonic acid, increased ac- tivity of circulation between heart and lungs, decrease of the blood in the lungs, and last of all, increased activity of the lungs and steady de- velopement of the chest. Thus it is easy to be seen that all these symp- toms are directly owing to the high elevation, consequently the height forms the remedy. A summer so- journ in such high latitudes therefore gives tone to the system, and in- creases the activity of the lungs, ex- panding the chest and lungs. A winter sojourn, on the other hand, only serves to retain and increase these results. A moderately high elevation can, therefore, be recom- mended for a winter sojourn, and for such an one, Innsbruck with its social, intellectu aland - literary advantages, is excellently well adapted. It only seems strange that this town has hitherto not been more appreciated for its advantages as an intermediate station for persons prone to con- sumption. The town is charmingly situated in a beautiful valley, nearly 600 meter above the sea, and with its 35,000 inhabitants, covers more ground than many towns twice its population. It is completely sur- rounded by mountains, which, for the greater part of the year, are capped with snow. The chalky Alps on the north serve to keep off the rough winds and at the same time the per- pendicular walls of rock act as a re- flector of the sun's rays sending them down upon this town so blessed by nature. A walk of twenty minutes from the triumphal arch brings the wanderer into the lovely valley, to the foot of mount Isel. To the west, the massive Martinswand, where tradition says the Emperor Maximilian met with an adventure while hunting. Absorbed in pursuing a chamois, he lost his way, and through a misstep slid down to the edge of a precipice, where he managed to keep his toot- ing. The pastor of Zirl, the village below, observing the perilous and hopeless position of His Majesty, pro- ceeded to grant him absolution, when to the eyes of those below, an angel seemed to come to his rescue, con- ducting him to a place of safety; the angel was, however, in reality, a chamois hunter by the name of Hol- lauer, who was afterwards ennobled for the brave deed. Since 1883 a cross marks the spot, which can now be easily reached by a good path. With exception of a few narrow streets in the centre of the town, Innsbruck has strikingly spacious streets and squares, and comfortably broad sidewalks, beautiful and ex- tensive promenades carefully planted with shade-trees. Thanks to its high elevation above the surface of the sea, the ground dries quickly, so that after the most violent rain, the sur- face dries in a couple of hours. The streets and thoroughfares are kept spick and span and the sewerage system is equal to the best. The drinking water is conducted from springs in the mountains, so that the inhabitants are not dependent upon river water, as in so many other European cities. As a result of all these happy coincidences, the town enjoys an almost unexampled sanitary condition, and the medical faculty does not reap so rich a harvest as elsewhere. The annual rate of mor- tality amounts to only 17 per cent. The town has suffered an immunity from epidemic diseases, as has already been attested by Dr. Pettenkofer. The climatic conditions in the autumn and winter answer perfectly the require- ments of persons inclined to con- sumption. Cloudy days are exceedingly rare, and although fog often prevails in the early morning hours, during the month of October, it is generally dissipated by 10.00 a.m. During fifteen years, cloudy days averaged only from four to five a month. Obser- vations prove the average mean of moisture, during six monihs, to be; 76.2. The evenness of the atmo- spheric pressure is astonishing, which, of course, is of incalculable benefit to the human system. Winds are rare, the atmosphere, remaining, as a rule, quiet during the months of November, December, January and February. The equinoctial storms in September, last, generally, only two or three days. From the 10th of October the weather 253 becomes fair and settled, the autumn days reminding one of the American Indian summer. The winter sets in the beginning of December with a fall of snow, affording all the delights of sleighing until the end of February. The sun then begins to shine with more force, reminding one of the nearness of Italy. The glistening of the pure white snow in the warm- ing rays of the sun is a sight never to be forgotten. The fact must not be lost sight of here that, similar, not equal conditions can be met with in the Alps, only at much higher altitudes so that in this respect, nothing can take the place of the easterly latitude. We have here a golden climatic mean, wonderfully adapted to invigorate and restore the constitution, and render it more capable of resistance to un- favorable changes elsewhere. Owing to the moderate elevation there is no necessity of becoming used to the climate, so that the process of re- cuperation begins at once, enabling persons to at once enjoy the invigo- rating exercise to which the many pleasant walks and excursions allure. Mountain tours can be made to Weiherburg, and Hungerburg on the left bank of the Inn, to Ober-Sch5n- burg and Schloss Ambras on the right bank. A steam railway trans- ports travellers to Berg Isel with the Andreas Hofer monument. From the point on which it stands, the peasant hero directed the attack of his fellow countrymen upon the town, held by the Bavarians (Aug. 13, 1809). The short trip to Schloss Ambras, ro- mantically associated with the marriage and happy sojourn of the Archduke Ferdinand and his lovely bride, Philip- pina Welser, attracts every visitor to Innsbruck. The rooms and collections of the castle, well explained by an intelligent guide, are worth very care- ful inspection. Do not forget the charming views from the windows of the castle. An excursion can also be made to the Lanser Kopfe. At Igls, a good hotel, Iglerhof, which, with its baths, enjoys a first-class reputation. The art treasures of Innsbruck are too well known to be re-mentioned here. The University, is, for the study of theology, one of the most im- portant in Austria. The town can- not be too strongly recommended for persons with debilitated constitutions. ISCHL, Pop. 4,600. HOTELS : Hotel Bauer ; Hotel zum Goldnen Krenz; Kaiserin Elisabeth; Post; Stern.

The hotels, houses, a hurch and theatre are grouped around a meadow which has been converted into the Jardin Anglais. Good shooting and trout fishing. The springs which contain Glauber's salt, resemble those of Carls- bad but are cold. They belong to Tepl Abbey. There are now about 190 houses in the place, most of them new. 15,000 people visit the springs annually. The principal springs for drinking are the Kreusbrunnen, the Ferdinandsbrunnen and the Waldquelle. The Marienquelle is for external use. Mud, pine-cone alkaline and other baths may be obtained at the bath- house. Church of England service at Christ Church, in the season. Few health resorts of the continent offer so many sanitary advantages as Marienbad. Lavishingly blessed with natural beauties which the hand of man, by art, has made more beautilul, it is for persons in perfect health a delightful place of sojourn, and one which every one, who has tasted its delights, is loath to leave. Not enter- ing the list of health resorts until the beginning of this century, it now ranks second among its sister resorts in Austria, and is visited yearly by 17,000 guests from all parts of the world. More than one million bottles of the waters are despatched every year to all points of the compass. The medicinal qualities of the waters do not, however, begin to be fully ap- preciated, and it is on this account that we feel in duty bound to break a lance for this popular resort. Few are aware of the fact that the Marien- bad waters contain a greater per cent of Glauber's salts, than any others. This fact alone is sufficient to establish the reputation of Marienbad upon a sure footing. How few know how rich the peaty soil of Marienbad is in iron, even in this respect, excelling Franzensbad. Chemical analyses show that the Marienbad waters contain a far richer quantity of all ingredients than its sister bath Karlsbad. This health resort lies in the German part of West-Bohemia, and in its beautiful parks and grounds, fully equals all its competitors. 628 meters above the sea, near the Saxon and Bavarian frontier, it presents a charming picture, fit for a painter's brush. The climate is that of Central Germany. It is so situated as to obtain the full rays of the sun, and at the same time is sheltered by the neighboring mountains from raw and piercing winds, so that the place is a great favorite of elderly people. The quantity of ozone in the air, spiced by the delightful odor of the pines, is very considerable. Marien- bad has always suffered immunity from cholera, and from epidemics in general. Even in the autumn of 1892, when many Hamburg families took refuge here against the plague, not a single case of cholera occurred. The town is perfectly drained according to the most approved sanitary principles. The grounds and streets are kept well watered, and the admirably arranged system of water works, enables each separate family to supply itself with pure drinking water, direct from the mountain springs. Marienbad is on the Franz Josephs-R. R. and can be reached from Berlin in 9 hours, from Vienna in 9 hours, from Prague in somewhat less than four hours, from Leipzig in 6 hours, from Dresden in 8 hours, from Hamburg in 18 hours, from Paris in 28 hours. There are over 200 lodging houses in the town for the accommodation of boarders, and some of the finest and most luxuriously appointed hotels in Europe, provided with elevators, electric light, splendid restaurants. Good airy and well furnished rooms can be found at all the houses, and great pains are taken to make guests feel at home. The bath-room arrange- ments are all that can be desired and fully up with the times. From all points and from every window we have delightful views of green trees and mountains, so that it does not seem as though one were living in a town, surrounded as it is, on all sides by splendid forests. Lodgings are to be found, even at the height of the season, and prices to suit all tastes and means. As in other places, it is always advis- able to take temporary quarters at some good hotel and then look for 257 17 lodgings at leisure. We would, however, warn guests against trusting to agents, who are sometimes difficult to shake off. Price and terms for rooms and board are required by government to be displayed in some conspicuous place. In general, what Goethe wrote so many years ago about Marienbad, holds true to-day; "Splendid quarters, kind hosts, and good company, all contributed to my passing a happy time in Marienbad". Churches. — An English Church, Roman Catholic Church and Synagogue enable each confession to worship according to its own peculiar rites. The Israelites have also restaurants strictly conducted according to their ritual. More than thirty practising physicians care for the physical welfare of inhabitants and guests. A so-called Krankenheim (home for the sick) has lately been erected, modelled after the celebrated Eppendorfer Hospital at Hamburg, so well and favorable known to the medical faculty. The excellent band gives concerts three times a day; mornings and evenings at the Kreuz- brunnen and at noon at the Waldquelle. Daily performances are given in the pretty little municipal theater and a Club takes pains to arrange concerts, balls and sociables. There is a good Reading-Room in the town hall, fur- nished with all the most important domestic and foreign papers and periodicals, open free to everybody. Some of the best Austrian military bands give concerts at some of the first-class restaurants, and the Austrian bands are famous for their good music, well performed. Hunting and fishing can be pursued by applying to the authorities for per- mission. Also a bicycle and riding club is not wanting among so many means of enjoyment. Thus the wants of all are provided for, and those wishing to pass the days quietly amid the delights of nature, have easy access to the beautiful woods, where they can commune with nature undisturbed by anyone. There are also excursions and trips without number, among others we can recommend: Bad and Schloss Konigswart, in the immediate vicinity, containing a Museum of con- siderable note; Bad Sangerberg; Jagd- schloss Glatzen; Stift Tepl; the ex- ceedingly interesting Podhornberg; the Park in Plan and the charming Josefhutte, these are some of the most pleasant trips; but the region is so rich in beautiful spots that it will not be difficult for the lover of nature to find out new points of in- terest. Marienbad, owing to its many sided means of treatment, can often be made use of by several members of the same family, suffering from various complaints. Persons suffering from any chronic disease and change of matter in the system, Will certainly only be benefitted by a cure at Marienbad. The mineral springs are divided into three classes, viz. The Glauber's salt springs, the main con- stituent parts of which consist of sul- phate of soda, bi-carbonate of soda and cooking salt and a goodly portion of carbonic acid. The Earth Spring, consisting, for the most part, of bi- carbonate of lime and free carbonic acid and the Iron Springs, distin- guished by the rich quantity of bi- carbonate of iron and free carbonic acid. The Kreuzbrunnen and the Ferdinandsbrunnen contain the greatest amount of Glauber's salts. The Alexandrinenquelle, although weaker, is a great favorite for drinking pur- poses, and also the much frequented Waldquelle. The Ambrosius and Karolinenbrunnen are the principal iron springs, the former containing more bi-carbonate of iron to the liter, than any other spring of the kind in Austria or Germany. The alkaline Rudolfsquelle contains bi-carbonate of lime and magnesia, perfectly free from sulphate of lime, and very similar to the spring at Wildungen. It remains only to mention the Marien- quelle, which although poor in salt, is all the richer in free carbonic acid, and is used solely for bathing pur- poses. The temperature of all the springs, over the surface of which there is a changing stratum of car- bonic acid, is between +9 deg. and + 11 deg. Cels. The baths are fully equal to those in other places and are to be had at: the immense and imposing "Centralbad", a building provided with every comfort and modern convenience; the new bath- ing house; the mud bath house; and the so-called Gasbadhaus. The new 258 Badehaus is now- in process of re- novation, and will, when finished, be one of the finest on the continent. Besides the cold baths, which are characteristic of Marienbad, there are also; acidulous or sour baths, chaly- beate baths, mud baths, gas baths, steam or vapor baths, hot-air baths and cold water baths. The following list of diseases and illnesses, for which the Marienbad -waters can be used with excellent results, will be surprising to man}' - , but will only serve to corroborate our words at the beginning of this article. I. General diseases: obesity, gout, diabetes, anaemia, and scrofula. II. Or- ganic diseases* — i) Diseases of the digestive organs : catarrh of the stomach, including dyspepsia, ulcers in the stomach, ditation of the stomach, chronic catarrh of the intestines, marked by constipation or chronic diarrhoea, hyperaemia of the liver, swelling of the liver, fatty liver, all abdominal troubles, particularly piles, troubles with the blood circulation in the bowels, occasioned by high living or sedentary habits, catarrhal jaundice, gall stones, tumors of the liver and spleen, and intermittent fever. 2) Diseases of the respiratory and circulative organs : chronic catarrh, Emphysema of the lungs, accumulation of fat^on the heart, apoplexy, inclina- tion to bleeding of the brain and apoplectic strokes, of course, in the incipient stages. 3) Urinal troubles: chronic inflammation of the kidneys, chronic catarrh of the bladder and urinal passages, stone in the kidneys and gravel. 4) Diseases of the female sexual organs : chronic metritis, chronic catarrh of the vagina, amenorrhoe, dysmenorrhoe and chlorosis, sterility and habitual miscarriage, troubles connected with the change of life. 5) Diseases of the peripheral nerves, ischia or sciatica, peripheral paralysis, exudations of the muscles and joints, rheumatism. The natural Marienbad salt of the springs is pulverized and crystallized and in this form is ex- ported to all parts of the world. The so-called Marienbader Reductions- Pillen, so widely advertised, are a spurious article, never having seen Marienbad, for which reason their sale is forbidden in Austria. The regular season lasts from May 1st till Sept. 30 th., during which time three concerts are given daily at the most frequented springs. All persons remaining longer than eight days are required to pay the regular tax, which is divided into three classes viz. — 1. Class : one per- son Curtax 10 florins, Music tax, one person 5 fl., two persons 8 fl, three persons 11 fl., four persons 14 fl., five or more persons 17 fl. II. Class : one person Curtax 6 fl., Music tax, one person 4 fl., two persons 5 fl., three persons 6 fl., four persons 7 fl., five and more persons 8 fl. III. Class: one person Curtax 4 fl., Music tax, one person 2 fl., two persons 3 fl., three persons 4 fl., four persons 5 fl., five and more persons 6 fl. Officers of the Austrian and Hungarian armies, phy- sicians and surgeons are exempted from paying any tax. MERAN. 3000 inhabitants. HOTELS: Grand Hotel ; Ersherzog Johann, Tiroler Hof.

By the Vintsch- gau to Stelvio and Landeck. English Church Service in the English Church, September to May. It is a well-known fact that the beauties, the mild climate and fertility of this blessed spot of nature were highly appreciated by the ancient Romans, although Meran in those days lacked all the comforts of living, we now find there. Strange to say, how- ever, the town was hot much fre- quented by strangers, until within the last twenty years, although it had, for centuries before been frequently i 17* visited by crowned heads and the nobility. Thousands of invalids have had cause to bless the time when they visited this life-giving place to carry away with them renewed vigor and rosy cheeks, but they are the fortunate ones, who in the enjoyment of perfect health are enabled to visit this paradise and enjoy, to the full, its natural delights. The magic of the landscape, half Italian, half Alpine in its nature, holds the beholder enchained and entranced as often as he looks upon it. The valleys teeming with the fruit of the soil ; the mountains, capped with interesting castle ruins, every one of which has its history. The old part of Meran lies on the slopes of the Kuchelberg, well protected by the ridges of this mountain. The peculiar arches under the houses, called "Lau- ben" serve to make the town more picturesque. The finest specimens of architecture, to town has to boast of, are the Stadtpfarrkirche and the Castle which has been admirably restored. It is supposed to date from 1446, at which time, Count Siegismund, Count of Tyrol, is said to have begun it. The frescos and paintings with which it is adorned, are exceedingly well preserved and will be found very interesting. The new town has been built up outside the old town walls, and with its beautiful Chrisiuskirche, erected in 1885, and snugly nestling villas, pre- sents a lovely picture, not easily to be forgotten. This part of the town is bounded on the south, by the Passer, a stream, in summer always pretty full, but in winter increasing in volume and flowing into the Etsch. The immense bulwarks, erected by the Meraners as a protection against the waters, form the foundation of the favorite promenades, so gladly made use of by summer visitors. These promenades extend from the railway bridge, which spans the Passer near its junction with the Etsch, to the romantic Gilfschlacht, a distant of more than two kilometers. The view of the valley of the Etsch from this promenade, is perfectly charming. Towards the south, the broad valley, with its long mountain ranges; the Trientine Alps glistening in the distant background. On the other side, the picturesque villages of Partschin and Algund and the old castles; Vorst. Diirrnstein and Tirol and the giant mountains towering aloft, farther off, the region of the Kuchelberg and the undulating country of Obermais prettily studded with villas. The Giesela Promenade begins at the Naggelten- Steg, near which is the Kurhaus Immense German poplars fringe the side next to the town, beautifully arching their branches over the road, under which the -world of fashion and beauty strolls along, listening to the strains of music as discoursed by the permanent band of the Kurhaus, the latter is a long straggling building, soon to be enlarged and beautified. The building, at present, unpretentious as it is, forms the rendezvous of the visiting world and unites under one roof: theatre, concert room, parlors and reading room, also the bathing establishment, connected with it. The principal lodging houses of Meran are on either side of the Kurhaus. The display of tropical plants is worth seeing. The so-called Wandelhalle, a kind of promenade hall, is celebrated for its luxuriant growth of roses. A very pretty walk is past the Tappeiner Steg, and then by a slight ascent we reach the terrace in front of Villa Kuhn, thence over the steinernen Steg connecting with the other bank. Be- hind this narrow but imposing bridge, said to be of Roman origin, the jewel of Meran lies before us, namely the Gilfschhicht ) t\x\s vale, growing narrower and narrower, leads to the Zenoburg, where the Bohemian king Henry, once held his merry court. The air, redolant, with rosemary and mock orange, al- most overpowers us with its fragrance. These are the summer gardens of Meran, where, in one of the numerous shady nooks, lulled by the sound of falling waters, we are tempted to dream away an hour or two. These artificially laid out grounds, are the finest of the kind. We have now- reached Obermais, one of the loveliest, and quietest suburbs of Meran. Many noble families have chosen these sub- urbs of Ober- and Unter-Mais as a permanent residence. We will mention, as worth seeing: Schloss Rubein, -with its stately castle court ; Schloss Planta, with ivy clad towers and walls ; Schloss. :od Reichenbach, with its garden, re- minding one of a scene from the Arabian Nights : Schloss Winkel, com- mandingly situated; Schloss Rotten- stein, the residence of the Archduke Louis of Austria; Schloss Trautt- mannsdorf, often honored by their Imperial Majesties; Schloss Rametz and Schloss Goyen which latter have given their name to no mean brand of wine, On all sides, the luxurious grape, truly a land of milk and honey. Meran as a health-resort. — The town was shown at the last Hygiene Con- gress, held at Vienna, to have the lowest death rate of any town in the empire. The highest situated of all health-resorts, on the southern slopes of the Alps. Meran possesses all the advantages of an Alpine climate, with- out its disadvantages. The sky is very clear, especially during the winter months, (55 cloudless days from November to March) and in the number of pleasant days, is second only to Cairo. It enjoys, during the winter months, a perfect exemption from windy days ; during a ten years' average, only 14 windy days during the four cold months. With the ex- ception of Cairo, it has fewer rainy days than any other town, 52 during the year, including seven days of snow-fall. It is one of the driest health-resorts, respecting the amount of moisture, ranking with Davos, the Riviera and Cairo. The climate of Meran is not southern but temperate. The autumn is delightful, and is followed by a short winter. Invalids are, owing to the mild climate, able to spend several hours every day outdoors. The trees begin to bud in February. The summer is not excessively warm. The evenings, even in the months of July and August, are refreshingly cool. As supple- mentary to the climatic cure, Meran offers cow's and goat's milk, delicious grapes and other fruits, in the Kur- haus, a complete pneumatic establish- ment, operated by steam power, Waldenburg, and atomizing apparatus. A well fitted up bathing establishment, containing warm, vapor, electric, mud, chalybeate, pine-needle and shower baths. Massage, Hydrotherapeutic establishment, hall for gymnastics. Home for consumptives. All kinds of mineral waters can be had in the new Trinkhalle, enabling persons to pursue a regular course of treatment. A terrain cure is also very well arranged, with table of distances, diet, &c. Meran is particularly adapted for weak and delicate children, and for rachitis; persons inclined to con- sumption, and young persons suffering from anaemia, for chronic lung troubles, catarrh, pleuritic exudations, bronchial troubles and nervous asthma, in- flammation and suppuration of the lymph ducts, chronic periostitis, caries, fungous disease of the joints, gout, chronic diseases of the kidneys, disturbance of circulation, weak action of the cardie muscles, fetty heart, obesity, nervous complaints and melan- choly, all reconvalescents howewer serious the illness may have been, early stages of consumption, and last of all, all troubles for which mineral waters, grape or fruit cures have been prescribed. The season lasts from Sept. 1st. till the month of June. Railway connections. The health- resort of Meran is the terminal station of the Bozen-Meran railway, and is in direct connection with all the great cities. Through cars are at present, run, without change, between Meran, Munich, Leipsic and Berlin. From Vienna to Meran 19 hours, from Berlin 24 hours, Omnibuses and carriages are at the station on the arrival of every train. Overland postal and passenger connection with the Arlberg RR at Landeck.

Strangers, on arriv- ing at Meran would do well to go first to a hotel and afterwards look 261 for permanent quarters at their leisure. Americans 'will be sure to at once feel at home, as in luxurious sur- rouundings they are not made to feel the lack of home comforts.

Agent of the North German Lloyd: CARL SPAENGLER. 266 SALZKAMMERGUT, or Austrian Switzerland, a fine tract of lakes and mountains. The Salzkammergut proper, extends over an area of about 900 sq kilo- meters. No other one piece of Ger- man soil presents so many beauties of nature as this region. The only drawback is that during the summer months the Salzkammergut is overrun by tourists, but any one who is a good walker will find means to es- cape them and will seek out some nook, away from the large towns where he can give himself up to the contemplation of nature. In this case the town of Gmunden is well adapted as headquarters, from whence ex- cursions, lasting all day, can be made. At all events engage rooms before- hand at one of the following good hotels: Hotel Austria; Bellevue ; Goldner Brunnen ; Goldene Sonne ; Goldnes Schiff ; Goldner Hirsch ; un- pretentious, Hotel Mvicha ; Hotel zur Post and others to suit more moderate demands. Excursions: First of all a delightful sail over the lake, very pleasant towards evening. The next day excursion to Traunstein, about five hours. To Almsee by carriage in about six hours, with beautiful views on the way. To Sonnstein, a very pretty trip, which can be made very easily in a few hours to go and return. From Gmunden to Ischl we would advise taking the steamboat over the lake and from Ebensee by rail to Ischl, which see. It is also worth the while to remain one night in Ebensee-Langbath for the sake of seeing the Langbath lakes. Good quarters can be obtained at the Post, near the steamboat landing. A trip can also be made to the Valerien- Aussicht, persons being rowed across the lake. The Feuerkogl can also easily be ascended by persons fond of climbing. Fine view of the Styrian Alps. Lodgings to be had on the mountain, although primitive, a good night's rest can be had in clean beds. From here to Ischl, which see. From Ischl to Hallstatt, which see. Hallstatt j is one of the towns of the Salzkammer- gut, inviting a long stay, and few, 1 whose time is not limited, will be j able to resist the temptation. The | tourist will be enchanted with the charming situation of this snug little hamlet, semmingly shut in from the rest of the world, with its waterfall in the middle of the town, the beauti- ful lake and the towering mountains surrounding the lake. Good accom- modations may be obtained at the Griiner Baum or Hotel Seeauer. The curious old Museum contains some very interesting finds, of attraction for the antiquarian. Most persons, how- ever, visit Hallstatt for the purpose of ascending the famous Dachstein. It being rather a laborious climb of over nine hours, persons attempting it would do well to start at an early hour of the day, if possible, before sunrise. Although a guide is not ab- solutely necessary, still one will be found very handy in many ways. Ladies who are not exceedingly good climbers should not think of attempt- ing the ascent, although they can go part way, perhaps as far as the Si- mony Hut, after passing which, the tug of war begins. The glacial for- mations are fine and the View from the summit, when once reached, not to be expressed in words, always, of course, taking for granted the weather is good; in fact the climb should be made only if the weather is favorable. The Hallstatt Salt Mines are worth a visit, which, however, is rather fatigu- ing. Other mountain tours are: the Sarstein, the Krippenstein, the Plassen, on which trip, a fine view of the mountains. A pretty carriage drive can be taken to Gosau, delightful scenery on the way. The excursion over the Zwiesel Alp is one of the prettiest in the Salzkammergut, and one which ladies can easily make, even on foot, as it is only three miles from Gosau. Tourists can, if they wish, push on from the Zwiesel Alp to Abtenau a large hamlet, where good quarters for the night can be had at the Ochs or Post. From here the road leads to Golling, eleven miles distant, Hotel Bahnhof and Alte Post. Fine waterfall and natural bridge, both worth seeing. Tourists must not fail to pay a visit to the pretty town and favorite summer and bathing resort of Aussee, noted for its salt baths. Pleasant walks and drives in every direction. To Alt-Aussee on 267 foot, three miles, half an hour by carriage. To the Grundl-See (Lake) a charming spot, reached by carriage in 3 /4 of an hour. The day can be filled out by taking the steamer to G8ssl and visiting the Toplitz-See and pretty "waterfalls. The Tressen-Sattel can be ascended in somewhat less than two hours and a nice view of Aussee obtained. Fine panoramic views can also be had from the Banning- Zinken and the Loser, both of which are very accessible. ST. JOHANN im PONGAU, or ST.
