It paya the city of Berlin to nurse Ita alck and cherish Its Invalids. The whole object of the municipality Is to aecura the physical and IntHlectual well being of Its citizens, snd on this task it conceutrataa Ita labors with amazing energy. Berlin has a huge building reaem bllng a factory where the uuemployed. whole familiea, are received and pro vided for, but no one must take advan tage of thla hospitality more than five times In three mouths. Consider thla point of view. If you are homeless five times in three months you are dubbed a reckless creature and packed off to the workhouse, Private enterprise has provided another aayium where the homeless may come five times In one month snd where the police are not al lowed to euter at night 1 have visited thla place and seen the people wbo at tend it, some decent enough, others criminal In every line of their faces There are many of these desperate meu In Berlin, many of these dirty, ragged and nnbappy wretches, doomed from the day of their birth, but they dare not show themselves In the decent world as they do In London. They allnk into tbeae asylums at 5 o'clock: they have their clothes disinfected; they cleanse themselves under shower hatha; they eat bread and drink soup, and then tbey go to bed at 8 o'clot-k like prisoners to their cells. t Now, this system la a hard one. fot when ouce a man gets down in Berlin ( It la almost Impossible for him to rise. But It baa tlila clear advant ge—every body feels that It Is better to won than to fall into the bands of the law. | Bags and misery dare not lie about j la the parka or scatter disease through ( the crowded st&ets. If there Is any virtue In the unemployed the state will 1 certainty develop It aa well as It Is poe- ( ' alble to do so There la a central bu reau for providing men wltb work, am* when a man knows that not to work means the workhouse he solicits em ployment here and elsewhere with such a will aa alinoat compels wages. In oaa year the state baa secured employ | ment for 90,000 men. The citizen la provided with sanitary dwellings, with unadulterated food with achools and technical colleges and i wltb Inaurauce for sickness and old age. For a penny he can travel almost from one end of Berlin to the other by electric tramway or electric railway Hia streets are clean, brilliantly light ed and noiaeleaa; bia cafes and music balls are Inaumerable. He lives In a palace.
