Their Feet Washed by a King.

The Hofburg, the CHIEF palace of the
Austrian sovereigns, has been, says the
London Standard, the scene Of an &C.
clesiastical ceremony or act of devotion
which is a curious relic Of medieval
customs, In accordance with usage
observed from time immemorial on
Maundy-Thursday the ceremony of
"WaShing the Feet Of the Poor" was
performed as usual by their majesties
at the imperial residence. In the
Middle Ages the custom prevailed at
many other Catholic courts, but in the
present day to find parallel would be
impossible, except at the Vatican and
the palace of the king of Spain, The
proceedings opened at 8 o'clock, when
twelve old men, Of whom the Oldest is
in his ninety-third year and the young
est eighty-seven, and twelve old women,
the oldest ninety-siX, and the youngest
ninety, dressed, as usual, in the old
German costume, presented to them by
the emperor and empress, entered the
court chapel, in order to receive the
sacrament, and were then brought into
the hall of ceremonies at Hofburg.
On each side of the hall was a table
with twelve covers, the one table for
the old men and the other for the old
women. They are all citizens OF
Vienna, and many among them show
ed by their behavior that they have
taken part in the ceremony more than
once. With the appearance of the
clergymen, at II a. m, the ceremony
began. The emperor, who was follow
ed 10y all the archdukes in Vienna,
served the old men, and the empress,
followed by all the archduchessess and
court ladies, served the old women at
their respective tables. The corps
diplomatique was, as usual, in attend.
ance, but this year the British, French
and Turkish ambassadors did not ap.
pear. All the ministers were present
as well as court dignataries and prlvy
councillors, the chamberlains, the
grand masters and the highest repre-
sentatives of the army. The tables
being removed, the emperor and EN-
press knelt down in front of the ole
people, took off a shoe and stocking
from each, washed the foot with towels
moistened from golden ever, held by
a chamberlain. After the feet of the
old people had been wiped, the arch
dukes and archduchessess replaced the
shoe and stocking, and their majesties
concluded the ceremony by hanging
round the neck of each of the old peo
pie a purse with thirty silver forms
The old folks were then sent home il
cabs, each with a well-flled box of pro
visions and wine.

King AlcOhOl'S Way.

A young man by the name of Muir
ply, living in London, went home the
other night, and instead of finding a
warm welcome and hot supper, he
found his mother stone dead on the
floor, with her head firmly wedged in a
tin saucepan. She was in liquor when
her son left her, and the medical evil
dence went to show that she had
pitched forward upon the floor and
driven her head into the saucepan SO
securely that she could not extricate it,
and had consequently died of suffoca-
ton. Since the dawn of creation the
king of terrors has welded an infinite
variety of weapons, but probably
never before confronted his victim
with u saucepan, n"

Up Second avenue the other night
five young men softly entered yard,
arranged themselves in semi-circle
on the grass, and suddenly began to
sing. while guitar and a banjo added
their sugary notes to the general
sweetness. AS the song was finished a
sash went up and masculine voice
called out:
splendid. beautiful! Gentlemen,
please repeat"
The band on the grass was only too
happy to accommodate, and "Only a
Pansy Blossom" went floating again on
the night breeze.
"Entrancing! enhancing" exclaim-
ed the voice at the window. Gentle
men, don't want to put you to
trouble, but if you would only sing
that over once more"
The song dragged little this time,
and the alto voice seemed to have
swallowed a troche down the wrong
pipe, but it ended at last, and the old
man called out:
That's what call singing that is!
Gentlemen, I'm no hog, but if l. could
prevail upon you to render that de-
lightful poem once more, it would be a
kindness never could forget"
There was a great deal of growing
in undertones, but the leader gave the
key, and for the fourth time the neigh.
borhood was filled with dreadfully
faded pansy blossoms. When the last
note died away the old man clapped
his hands and exclaimed:
"Better and better! You have my

buttons, and required the constant

Those on the skirt are arranged in
