An Austrian Custom.

kissing the hand, says Vienna cor
respondent, is national custom in Aus
tria. A gentleman on meeting a lady
with whom he is acquainted, especially
if she be young and handsome, kisses
her hand. On parting with her he
again kisses her hand At the Reidhof
last evening young man who is paying
his addresses to young lady, on taking
his seat at the supper table, around
which the family were seated, kissed the
mothers hand, also the hand of his
affianced. 1t is very common to see a
gentleman kiss lady's hand on the
street, on meeting or parting with her.
Ii you give beggar woman in the street
few coppers, she either kisses your
hand or says 81 kiss your hand"
We have had our hand kissed twenty
times since we have been in Austria by
chambermaids, beggars, and on one
occasion by an old man. The words
"kiss your hand" appear to be the
same III German as in English, or
at least sound the same. The
gentlemen kiss the bands of mar
ried women as well as the single, and it
is taken as an ordinary salutation and a
token of respect American ladies are
startled when they first experience the
application of this custom. but soon
submit to it with good grace. The
children, also, when presented to strang-
ers, take their hand and kiss it, showing
that 1t is a custom to which they are
educated from their cradles.

evidence that he was chiefly engaged in plot
ting for the reservation of the Empire, and, to
this end, was in secret negotiation with the
enemy. If the Government can produce the
evidence it claims to have, it will go hard with
Marshal Bazaine. Death is the penalty of the
crimes of which he is accused.

tiated loan of $40, oO0 600 in Europe for the

Greenback PAPER.

All the paper for the money issued by
the United States Government is manu-
featured on a sixtytwo inch Fourdrinier
machine, at the Glen Mills, near West
Chester, Pa. Short pieces of red silk
are mixed with the pulp in the engine,
and the finished stuff is conducted to
the wire without passing through any
screens, which might retain the silk
threads. BY an arrangement above the
wire cloth shower of short pieces of
fine blue silk thread is dropped in
streaks upon the paper while it is being
formed. The upper side, on which the
blue silk is dropped, is the one used for
the face Of the notes, and from the man
ner in which the threads are applied.

Onions.

A correspondent of the Scientific
american commends onions as specific
against epidemics-not as an esculent,
but sliced and kept in sick room,
where they will absorb any atmospheric
poison. They should be replaced by
fresh ones every hour. 1t is noticed
that in the room of a smallpox patient
they will blister and decompose very
rapidly, but will prevent the spread Of
the disease. The application has also
proved effective in the case of snake
bites.

An Awful Atmosphere.

The highest of the peaks of the Sierras,
Gray's Peak, may well be called the
home of the thunder. On account of
its great height it attracts the clouds,
which almost daily gather round its
head and burst upon it, so that some
times it tries the nerves of the boldest
to run the gauntlet of these storms. At
such times the whole mountain seems
charged with electricity. Several who
have been caught there at such mo-
ment have told how it shot through
them like needles it buzzed through
their heads like bees they could hear
1t whistle like gale through the rigging
of a ship. The guides, being more ac-
customed to such things, are less ter
rihed, but tourists are sometimes para
lyzed with terror, if not with the shock,
and fall to the ground, unable to move.
Even the guides sometimes think it is
matter of prudence to throw themselves
Hat upon their faces, so as not to pre-
sent point for the lightning to strike.
The poor brutes, taught by dumb in
stinct, turn their heads from the storm
and let it beat. If party were caught
on the summit in snow storm, il is
probable that they would perish. In
the binding drifts it would be impos-
slble to find the path, and no mortal
strength could hold out for many hours.

siding near CarrOllton, Mo-, suspected his
wife's infideity and few days ago left home
| ostensibly for St. Louis. Returning to his

double barreled shotgun. The wife soon re-
tired, and shortly afterward Elijah Haley en-
tered the room, undressed himself, and just
az he was getting into bed Austin sprang from
his concealment and fred at him, but missed
his aim, the shot entering his wife's abdomen,
infcting fatal wound. Austin fired again

prominence of all parties concerned.
