By order of Government the roads in Prussia are lined on each side with fruit trees. Riding once, early in September, from Berlin to Halle, an American traveller noticed that some of the trees had a wisp of straw attached to them. He enquired of the, coachman what it meant. He replied that those trees bore choice fruits, and the straw was a notice to the public not to take fruit from those trees without special permission. 'I fear,' said the traveller, 'that in my country such a notice would be but an invitation to roguish boys to attack those very trees.' 'Haben Sie keine Sc/lutes?' (' Have you no schools?') was his significant rejoinder. Rest assured, dear reader, that next to godliness, education is the mainstay of order.
