THE WOMEN OF VIENNA.
Fair Austrians Who Love Linen and Arr
Never Idle Even in Society.

VIENNA Letter.
The education of girls in Vienna is somewhat
peculiar, and perhaps worthy of note. Up to
fifteen years of age they are kept at theiI
studies, but are not deprived Of society. They
dress very simply, rarely wearing a silk gown
till the day they leave the school-room for the
ballroom After they leave school they go
through years. or even two years, teaching in
the pantry and in the kitchen, under some mem
Der of the family, or even, in some cases, in an
other family, under trained cooks. They may
never be required to cook dinner, but they are
thus rendered independent of cooks and ser.
wants, as they learn how to do everything them.
selves long before they begin housekeeping on
their own account When married they ara
most atfectionate wives and mothers. An Aus
tran lady, intact. is as accomplished and learned
as an English goyerness, as good housekeeper
and cook as German, as witty and vivacious in
society as Partisan, as passionate as an Italian,
and as handsome as an American-some of tho
most beautiful women in Europe being found III
Vienna
Germans, and also Austrians, are celebrated
for their stocks of linen. Here, as soon as girl
is born, the weaving of her linen is begun, and
every year piece or certain number of yards
is set aside for her trousscau, ready for her
marriage. Grandmammas, on their side, are not
idle. They pass their time knitting for their
grandchildren, supplying not only their present
wants, but also laying aside for the future a
dozen dozens Of stockings Of every kind being
the usual number for any brides rousseau and
some of these knitted stockings are fine as
the finest woven ones.
An Austrian girl or lady is never may say,
seen without some kind cf work in her hand
Ladies wor!, even in society They do nothing
at balls, of course. but think that that is the
only exception 70 the rule. When several labor
thus together in Il family one reads aloud while
the others work and thus they keep abreast of
all the newest literature of the day Not "a min
ute of their day is lost, and, in Soiomon's words,
they find time for everything work house
keeping, visiting, learning balls, amusement,
and even for love.

Parasols.
Philadelphia Press.

The demand FOR harmony, not to say uni
formity, in the toilet, is imperative The bon
net must match the rest of the suit and it is be-
coming altogether the thing to have parasol
for every street and carriage dress Thus the
gingham paraSol is no longer the symbol of pow
erty. but when made to match the suit, whether
plaid plain or striped, is decidedly chic. 1t is
not difficult thing to recover an old parasol for
this purpose, provided one is clever at needle
work and has the requisite patience.
For this. rip the old cover carefully
apart, taking the utmost pains not to
stretch it Then press each piece with
equal care and cut out the new cover exactly by
the old. Basic carefully right side out and try
on. The seams in basting should be taken deep
enough to allow for French fell. When It fits
stitch up on the right side, outside of the bastng
thread, which is then to be pulled out, turn, trim
the seams close and stitch once more-hem and
fasten on to the frame. You may probably thus
be able to make very pretty bingham or s,tteen
parasol BUTT IS scarcely prudent to attempt
materials-the true economy is to leave them to
professional hands.

Expenses of Italian Opera.

j. II. Copestou, Mr. Abbeys Assistant.
How much does it cost to raise the curtain on
an opera like Don Giovanni ''Lioeonda' or
Les Huguenots}8 All, my boy, made a
special study of that question while we were
travelling around the country, but could find no
satisfactory answer to it. You see there are
scores of outside bills that have to be taken into
account. The salaries of the principal singers
the chorus, the orchestra, and the care of the
house furnish no accurate estimate of the real
expense How are you to count in the cost of
the scenery costumes etc, that have to be pre-
pared for the first opera And where does the
thousand or so that has boon paid for Madame
Missions travelling expenses come in3 No all a
manager can do is To say at the end of season
that he has given certain number of operas. and
that the total expense has been 50 much; then
you can strike your average.

JOHN BROWNS SWORD.


T. G. Baylor, in Atlanta Constitution.
II have in my possession the sword of John
Brown. taken from him when he was captured
1t was given to my father by Brown when ne
in captivity. | have been offered $500 for
it, hut refused to sell it. 1t is one of the finest
pieces of metal | ever saw. The weapon is a
cavalry sabre, with an iron scabbard and bone
handle, The blade is a regular Damascus
blade, finely etched, and SO plant that you can
press the point around to the handle and when
it is released it will resume its original shape
How came your father TO get it,
''When Brown lay wounded my father went
to him and took the sword from under him
After keeping it awhile he carried it to Brown
and said: Captain Brown, probably you would
want to give this sword to some Of your rela-
tives. and have brought it to you to make such
disposition of it as you see fit Brown said:
No YOU have been very kind to me, for which |
thank you, and, in consideration of what you
have done for me, prefer that you should keep
the sword So my father kept it. and gave it to
me. Up to a few years ago it still showed the
stains of blood obtained in Browns Kansas raids
He told my father that the stains were Kansas
blood, and that the sword never drew blood in
Virginia
Most of Browns men who were in the raid
are dead, are they not"
IAN are dead except one Owen Brown, a
son of John Brown. is the only survivor. He
lives the life of hermit on an island in Putin
bay"

Ms Evarts, in the Stokes will case, recently
added something to the general idea of the un-
reliability of expert testimony. 1t would not
have been~a bad thing for him TO have cited the
opinion of the old country lawyer of North Caro-
lima who, not long since, descanting upon the
same class of legal curiosities, said; Gentlemen
of the jury, this witness is an expert. If you
knew as much about experts as do, you would
not believe word one of them says under oath.
1 have heard them at court in Charlotte and
Salisbury, and | know what they are like
Gentlemen of the jury, an expert is a man who
parts his hair in the middle and spits ribbons
through his teeth"
1t is altogether strange. however, that one of
the subtlest jests ever made upon this subject
should have been so deftly hidden away as not
to have been found and used by the profession
In an English work on evidence published a
few years ago work blythe. way, which has
never been appreciated at its full value by tho
profession-the author states that the testimony
of an expert seems ''too often intended to exem-
plify the apostles definition of faith the sub
stance of things hoped for and tho evidence of
things not seem"

Six Distinguished Heads.


st. Louis Post-DI5patch-
There are half dozen men in the House who
attract the attention of all lockers on when the
tariff is mentioned. They are Morrison Hurd,
and Carlisle on the one side, and Randall Nc
Kinley, and Kelley on the other. Randall
attracts more attention from the galleries and
among those the floor Just now than any
other man in the House. There are men in the
House who are always talking and never heard;
Mr.. Randall is heard whenever he talks, and felt
often when he does not The usual question,
when a stranger takes his seat i'll the gallery, is
(Which is Randall!' The next one asked for is
usually Morrison; then the glance wanders to
the minority side, he wants to see Kelley and Nc
Kinley.
In some respects these great tariff thinkers are
alike. There is one peculiarly observable in
most of them. the shape of the head. Hurd has
a head as round as bullet AcKinleys head is
shaped much like Hurds. Morrison is too,
round headed fellow, though his head is buried
in such mussy lot of hair that it is difficult to
tell much what it is like. Morrison and Kelley
are the only ones of the distinguished tariff sex
tet who wear whiskers. Randall, Mckinley,
and Carlisle absolutely smooth faced, while
Hurd sports "A heavy black mustache Randall's
head is much after the type of McKlnley's,
though not so strongly marked as to roundness.
Carlisle,s shows less of this popularity, and
Kelley's is anything but round

An incident occurred the other evening in one
of the threecent cars which so from the Capitol

at the time but which, had it occurred in the
days before the war, would have been widely
commented upon, says a Washington letter.
speaker Carlisle was sitting beside me. looking
very grave and probably thinking himself a
great fool for having accepted such trying po-
sition as Speaker of this Congress when q young
negro girl entered the car There was no seat
for her, and she grasped the strap, looking
vainly around for seat. There was none to
be seen, and no one rose to give one. At length
the Speaker coming out of his meditation, saw
her He half rose to give her his place when he
changed his mind and, croWdlng the rest OF us
toward the end of the car, made room for her be
side himself and motioned her to sit down. She
did so. There was no ostentation about it, and
the Speaker relapsed into his moody meditations
as soon as it was over.

The fashion of cropping the hair is fast gaining
favor, both in Europe and America, and it is
quite wonderful to discover how many ladies are
willing to sacrifice their wealth of shining tresse
to passing fancy. 1t is all very we'll while the
fashion lasts for the girls with pretty faces to
transform themselves into bewitching little
cupids but alas! when short locks are pro.
nounced old style, what then? A smart hair
dresser can cut off the finest, longest head of
hair il about five minute but the ultra fashion
able victim who is thus shorn must remember
that it will take five years to get those shining
waves back again, The hair lying in loose, fluffy
rings all over the head is pretty sight, but
when one has become tired of it and decides to
let the hair grow long again, the transition state
is anything but agreeable. when the locks grow
to about the length of eight inches, and hang
straight and stubborn behind the ears-too short
to braid or put up in any manner, and too long to
arrange in ''montagues' or fluffy haloes about
the face. Ladies who cling to their luxurant
tresses, while looking perhaps, little out of
style, viii soon discover that they have made Il
hair breadth escape from much annoyance and
perhaps, from the loss of considerable temper

j. Stone, treasurer w. S. Follis, secre-

ii. Hagan, executive board. There was
displayed ut the meeting forty pounds
OF dressed mica from the companv's
mine. The face ofthe blocks were from
SIX to eight inches. OF the quality OF
this Black Hills mica the reporter can
speak, for ne has now in use in the
family base burner sheets of mica from
the Sioux City property. 1t is tougher
than the mica from other sections, and
does not discolor and disinte crate with
the heat of the fire as did The white
mica used last winter.-Sioux City
