THE AUSTRIAN COURT,

Substantial Perquisites Enjoyed by EN-.
r. poror Francis Joseph's Servants.
Nothing except the linen, plate,
china and glass is ever served twice at
the court tables; but the full meaning
of this can not we'll be grasped by any,
body who has not seen the system at
work. Some of the servants have as
their perquisites the bottles which
have come up to the dining-room but
have not been uncorked; others, the
uncorked bottles; and others again the
wine that remains in the glasses.
Therefore it is the interest of one set
OF servants to keep the glasses full; OF
another set to draw as many corks as
possible, while parting with as little
wine as they can; and of third set to
draw corks sparingly. The result is
that often a great deal of unseemly
whispering and nudging goes on at the
sideboards. As regards the food, there
are different orders of claimants for
perquisites; one man having a vested
interest in the joints, another in the
poultry, third in the sweet dishes, and
so on. Then there are the men to whom
wax candles belong, and these natur-
ally make rush to blow out the candles
the moment the last guest has walked
out of the room. Altogether, this sys-
tenn of perquisites causes the imperial
banquets to be served in double-quick
time, so that the longest of them sci
dom lasts beyond three-quarters OF an
hour. The Emperor's dining hour is
five o'clock; but it is etiquette for the
guests to arrive clear half hour be-
forehand. After dinner coffee and ci.
gars are served in smoking room; the
Emperor fingers about quarter OF an
hour and the guests separate soon after
$3.50. But another curious result of the
perquisite system is this--that the
court servants make open traffic on the
imperial leavings. Incredible as il
may sound, there is a basement corri'
dor in the palace, which is like a bae
Ear full of shops. Here not only the
keepers of small hotels and restaurants
but the cooks of many ladies belonging
to the second-class official W rid come
to buy cold meats, pastry, sveetmeats.
wines and candles. There Il one sort
OF Tokay which can only be bought
from the court servants, as none il
made except for the Emperor. It il
to be resumed, however, that the I'm.
corkad bottles Of champagne and othe,
fine wines are generally sold by the
dozen, and they must form a substan
tial perquisite. chambers Journal
