But upon amusements so-called he certainly spends a good deal less in the course of the year than Jus English competitor. And in the useful art of prolonging the life of an inexpensive coat he is probably with- out a rival. All things.considered, what Englishman sir/Warty placed can well help envyinglam? That remarkable her- ring which has been said to serve, up- on occasion, both for breakfast and din- ner, may or not, be a gentle myth, )3ut the frugal German is as Common a type in our midst as any other to be ' met With, and no one has compassed so adroitly the art of living contentedly ,on next to nothing. -• . on two shillings a week, says a ern in the London Telegraph. That paste, cuter Teuton, it is true, happ,ens to Ire a baker -in addition to being a genius - and' this fortanate choice of a profession seems to have. enabled'him to eolve the Problem of cheap living,nictre completely than might otherwise have been the case. "The bread, which he got free, :t was `his custom to soak in gravy from the meat •Sent hi by customers to be baked, and when that failed he bought a herring, which served him for both • breakfast and supper." After this is was aetortishing to read that "these men usu- ally come ,over as boys, and serve with relative until they have ,saved a little money, when they set up in business Ser themselves." Almost. any industri- ous defter, in receipt of decent Wages, might fairly aspire in time, having dis- coVered the beautiful art" of living on. five pounds a year, to "set up in bust- ness" on his own account. Nobody; it is to be hoped, will be un- • kind enough to suggest that the le- sourceftil German baker who contrives . to Make both ends meet on two shillings 4 week is an "UNDESIRABLE ALIEN." • en the contrary, there must be a good • many poor tellers in London, honest and thrifty; Who would cheerfully make • his acquaintance- in order to find out how it is done. But the truth, of coarse, is that the case cited is a very exception - •al -one, and -e'en only be taken as an extreme illustration of the German tal- ent fpr .thrift and self-denial, On the other hand, it IS interesting to be re- minded once again Pf the undeniable feat that this London of ours shelters, year in, year out, many thousands cf ycung Germans who find it possible to exist comfortably on aprecionly less than what barely suffices, for the wants of the ordinary Englishman ofa the same class. • I knowof several myself, herd -work- ing, self-reliant, decently .clothed, and suMciently fed, who seem not only to be satisfied .with what would be called a "living wage," but are actually. able to put something by out of •their• exiguous earnings, in view of possible contingen- cies. They complain not, neither dries their appea,Fance or their mode of living suggest that their condition calls in eany way for sympathy. Only *a few Weeks a.sme& 1 heard of a Young Gorman; a native of Frankfort, who canto to Len- non some lane years ago, and secured junior clerkship in the city at sixteen shillings a week. His wages increased by slow sieges, but even so he has not r:as yet reachedthe modest figure Of one pound ten shillings. Nevertheless, with- ' out any assistance from home or outside sources, he has managed in that Period •to bank close on e hundred and twenty pcunds, and had, as I was informed,' just moved to a betterlolging, and "fur• - nished a room quite nicely" out of SIX MONTHS' SAVINGS. -Ttils, it Inv be argued, is another quite.exceptional case. But I have good -reason to -believe thin, it is nothing ef • the kind. Indeed, it would prObably b, found to 'be typical at -hundreds of others. Perhaps, then, it will be urged that the young German. Whose position • 1 have explained, and.others ef his class, nzu,st sacrifice practically everything that • makes life endurable to his principles, of strict pagsimony, and that such an ex - Worm: must needs•.be one of constant clrudgery, hardship, monotony, and sor- did jeylessness. That depends, of course on the point of view; but there is this to be said, at all. events --that within the necessary limits the rnerigre remun- • erated German •wbo lives laboriously • days in London office i to all seeming • ae contented with his lot as IA the Eng- • lishman whose svages as a rule are slightly -higher.

The' German appetite, indeed, is generally a hearty one, and eit Would be nothing less than foolish to suggest that •the Fatherland's sons who make a very slender income suffice for their needs in London aro short of food in order to effect petty 'economies. • Whether his palate 18. as serisitive os the Englishinara's is another matter, l'o say• truth.

Parents excuse •this practice on the theory- that it is better that thildren should have the measles and get over the. aglnient, •a theory, that, medical Men regard usa' dangerous superstition. „A .well-known specialist in children' diseases gave his opinion on the subject 'the other day. • • - • "Superstition is even morerrife in all classes to -day .than it wies„ a hundred years ago," he. said. ''In no case. is.it• more prevalent and dierietecius . than' in the treatment pf measles , • AS DANGEROUS PRACTICE.

However, the deputy steward only took away the hairs that he had cut from the mane; the major portion of his lordship's newly appropriated property, which required stabling and feeding, being left with Mr. Couldrey. It was explained to the lat- ter that the earl, being a generous man, did net wish to push his righteeto their legal limits and would, therefore, per- mit Mr'. Couldrey to redeem the horse.

As the heriot, the lord may legally sieze the tenant's best live beast, but in the absence of a- beast to Steze, he has to. be content, in lieu thereofe with a modest fine of three shillings and sixpence (87 cents). The customary freeholder; who sold the property to Mr. COuldrey pee- sesed no best beast, and so that occa- sion, Earl Amherst got only the 87 cents; Without any :idea that he was thereby jeopardizing his ON1711 best heat, Mr. Couldrey recently sold a half acre of his land•Thr $900.
