An Empress Amusement.

The moonshiners, or Parnell, or both, have
frightened the Austrian empress from Irish
soil, it is said, and she will henceforth hunt
nearer home In the forests at Schoenbrunn
she has had splendid hunting palace built,
that is described as Il marvel of luxurious
decoration. It's architecture IL that of the
modern renaissance period. Steps of white
Italian marble lead to the empress rooms in
the second story, upon which the best paint
ers of the empire have lavishcd their art.
Makart planned the bedroom frescoing. The
turn room," the empress gymnasium, is
done in Pompeiian style, and the vaulted
riding school, about which the offensive
stables cluster, in white, with plate glass
mirrors extending from floor to ceiling. and
lounges upholstered in red velvet Until the
palace at Schoenbrumn is completed the enl-
press will hunt in the imperial forests at Rad
mer Despite her years-Elizabeth of Aus
tria is nearly 5O--she is as active tourist as
ever and makes excursions on foot through
the country, in company with the young
Archduchess Valeria, that are the marvel
and despair of her court

Winter BOnnets.


Winter millinery Is picturesque There Is
a profusion of somber autumnid cOloring,
frightened by dashes of clear yellow. deep
cardinal, and PALE tender hothouse green,
both light and dark. A few Of the imported
bonnets are so small that they seem intended
for misses, and really have a contracted noof
that detracts from their beauty. Others,
and these are specially to be commended, are
roomy, sensible and comfortable. Amateur
milliners will have little trouble in copying
some of the styles, for the crowns seem to bc
tackled on amy way" and it is not at all difii-
cult to put full gathered binding around tho
front. Bristling bows and aigrettes are easy
to manage, and in some very stylish models
there Is merely roll of velvet and a bird or
wing, which are not at all troublesome to
adjust. The new felt bonnets are among the
most comfortable and desirable of winter
headgear They are very simply trimmed,
often with ribbon set in through Sits c2t
in the crown and then coming over the bon
net for strings A bird or breast or bunch
Of fancy feathers, and knot Of piece velvet
or velvet ribbon in loops or bows, is sufficient
for the trimming. The bonnet may be plainly
bound with velvet or have full shirred 'front.'

Under the name of "Inusable' a new sort
of black stuff has appeared in the trade. 1t
is guaranteed by the manufacturer as free
from the disagreeable propensity to become
shiny" as the unpleasant brightness is
called, which has hitherto been the great
enemy of the most beautiful and expensive

against this drawback consists in an especial
treatment of the black dye; it is the secret

To Tougher Timber.

The Wood Worker mentions a new pro
,ess OF toughening timber, by which white
wood can be made 50 tough as to require
sold chisel to split it. This result Is reached
by steaming the timber and submitting it to
and pressure technically ''upsetting" 1t, thus
COMPRISING the cells and fibres into one
compact mass. 1t is the opinion Of those
who have experimental with the process,
that wood can be compressed Is per cent,
and that some timber which Is now con-
ddered unfit for use in such work as carriage
building, could be made valuable by this
means, and more especially since the rapid
consumption of our best ash and hickory win
sooner or later render some substitute ueces-

The crew proper, numbering some 400
men, were gathered in the weather waist,
and filled nearly all the space between the
main and the foremost.
At the gangway four quartermasters
stood with lashings in their hands ready to
tie the men who were to be fogged. A graf.
ing thirty by eighteen inches had been placed
on the deck ready for the prisoner to stand
upon it. The boatswain aud his mates, the
first named with two or three cats under his
arm stood a little forward and to leeward of
the quartermasters.
The captain, after having heard the
charges against prisoner, listened patiently
to what the man had to says in self defense,
and then passed sentence accordingly-in
some cases ordering as low as three lashes to
be given, in others as high as twelve.
On the occasion in question boy named
Joseph Mills, about Is years old, was among
the prIsonsas brought to the mast to be
fogged. He was charged with dropping his
own hammock overheard while getting it
out of the netting.
What have you to say for yourselfT
asked the captain, after he had heard the
charge against Mills.
1T was an accident, SIR" was the boys
reply
''Give him six lashes," said the captain.
Accidents cannot be permitted on board a
man-of- war"
The quartermasters took the boy in hand.
First Of all, they stripped his shirt from his
back. Then they stood him up by the ships
side, and with lashings passed round his
ankles, they secured his est firmly in place
Next they stretched his AIMS up as high as
he could reach, and tied him by the wrists to
the ships rail He was now ready to receive
the fiogging.
The boatswain hands a cat to one of his
mates. The man takes the handle in his
right hand, and with the fingers of his left
hand combs out the zine tails, TO make sure
that each one will strike its separate blow.
He takes his station on the boys left, and
wbirling the tails once over his head, brings
them down with all his strength on the bare
back of the victim
''One" counts the master-at-arms, as the
nine tails descend with a thud, and leave
their purple marks ON the white skin.
Again the tails are in the air, and once
more they come down with thud.
"Tyo!" calls out the master-at-arms, and
so on, till all the lashes that the captain had
ordered have been administered
