Their household life is strongly Teu-! tonic; the union which binds the family makes strong the State and insoluble the Kingdom is observable among all classes of Get mans, but the Ebers are peculiarly interesting exponents of the bond. Professor Ebers seems to cement the common family interest by his easy, genial temper, cheerfulness and talkativeness, and the household life ebbs and flows through the sanctum. Professor Ebers' mother was a noted be-iuty of the Netherlands. When his father, scarcely more than a boy, met and wooed and won the lti-year-old girl, the burgerniaster, in giving away the bride, said: ''Sir, you have taken from us the pearl of Rotterdam."
