A Large House.

Every American, European and
Oriental country has it's scores of
public and private mansions, yet
Vienna, Austria, has the giant OF
them all. The Freihaus free house,,
situated in Wieden, a suburb OF the
city just mentioned, is the most spa
cious building on the globe. Within
its walls whole city ofhuman beings
live and work, sleep and eat. Itcon-
tains in all between l, 200 and 1900
rooms, divided into upward of 400
dwelling apartments of from four to
six rooms each. This immense house
has thirteen courtyards-fiv open
and eight coveredAand a large gar
den within it's walls. A visitor to the
building relates that he once spent
two hours in looking for u man
known TO reside in the house.
Scarcely a trade, handiwork or pro-
fession can be named which is not re-
presented in this enormous building.
Gold and silver workers, makers of
fancy articles, lodging-house keepers,
hookbinders, agents, turner's, hat
uers, officers, locksmiths, joiners, tu-
tors, scientific men, Government
clerks, three bakers, eighteen tailors,
twenty-nine shosmakers and many
other tradesmen live in it.
The house has thirty-one staircas-
es, and fronts on three streets and
one square. In one day the post
mans delivery has amounted to as
many as 10000 pieces to this single
but titanic house. To address let
ter to the house and to the person it
IS intended for does not. assure the
sender that the person to whom it is
addressed will ever receive it.
In order to make assurance doub-
ly sure" all letters addressed to the
"Freihaus" must be provided with
both the given and surname of the
person for whom intended, the
number of the Court, the number of
the staircase, and the number of the
apartment; otherwise it is apt to 60
astray, as though addressed to city
unprovided with directions as to

At the present time 2,112 persons
live in this immense building and pay

His Badge of Honor.

Among the many wrecks of dark
continent royalty now drifting about
Germany is the Somali chief Hussein
Farra. He got taste OF Teutonic
civilization while aiding the German
Emin Pasha expedition and could
not be kept from hurrying off to the
empire of the Hohenzollerns as soon
as he got $3.50 allowed him for
his services. Before sailing he invest
ed 5000 in two cabs, two cabmen, and
a superintendent, whom he left in
charge of his livery business in Alden.
lie created panic the first day he
appeared in Inter den Linden, and tire
police had to be summoned to pre-
venG the crowd from stealing bat
tered brass teakettle that he clutch
ed tightly with his right hand. Every
effort was made to dissuade him from
disturbing the public peace by swing
ing this kettle wherever he went, dut
in vain. He refused to explain his
affection for this rather curious adj
Junct of his street costume, and not
till Or. Peters, the explorer, came to
Berlin was any satisfactory reason
Tor his behavior obtainable. The
rival OF Stanley, however, unraveled
the mystery. When the Emin Pasha
expedition was in the NASSAU country,
he said Hussein conducted himself
with extraordinary bravery. Peters
wished to reward him, but had moth
ing'of value at hand to give away.
While rumaging about in camp for
some kind OF present he came upon an
old, leaky, brass kettle that was about
to be thrown away. He had it polish
ed at once, called together the natives,
and in their presence gave it to Hus-
sein, with the assurance that such an
article among white men was GUS
tomary reward for great deeds.
Since then Hussein has never let the
kettle out of his sight When fight
ing he wore it tied to his waist; O n
shipboard he carried it in his arms,
in Germany he always takes it to
bed with him.

AN OCTOBER MOON SONG.

Come out and ] nce in the moonbeams
That flicker along the ground,
While the waving branches above us
Throw weird, wild shadows around.
The II Don is sphere OF loveliness,
A wonderful, witching thing.
Come out and dance in the moonbeams
And hear the great moon sing.
She sings to the earth a silent song
OF love and JOY and beauty,
And the eager stars send back the strain,
Happiness is duty
Come out and drink the sparkling air,
With it's favor of old October
Spced with the odors OF ripened fruits,
And then, II you can, be sober
The moon shall conquer heart and brain;
Shall rule them. will you, will you;
The pale light make your pulses leap,
The sudden glory thrill you,
As she swings on high and sings her song
or love and joy and beauty.
And the merry stnrs laugh back at her:
Happiness is duty"
Climb up. climb up Oh the ladder of light
The moon let's down to meet you;
For iriendlness the skies lean down,
The stars make haste to greet you.
There IL no darkness upon earth,
There is no cloud in heaven,
Each draws to each. and both are filed
With the grace Of the golden lcaven.
Up. mp, and add your music too,
Your love and joy and beauty,
Sing with the stars--tho chorister stars

Forced To Drop 100 Feet,

What might have resulted in a serI
Gus accident occurred to some work
men engaged in building the extension
to the Smithfeld street bridge
While the James &. Blaine was pass
ing under the bridge, on her way up,
her smokestacks came in contact with
a platform which swung fro m tn G
bottom of the bridge. Capt. Cock
saw that the boat must strike the
platform, and called to the pilot to
sound the whistle. The men realized
their dangerous position, and got of
Che platform and caught hold of
an old iron bar which runs from pier
to pier not n moment too soon, as
the smokestack of the Blaine struck
the obstruction as the last man step
ped off the platform. One of the
steamers stacks was broken in two
by the force Of the collision, and the
swinging platform snapped from it's
fastenings and fell to the water.
The four men remained hanging by
their hands, their only means of res
cue being to let SO of the stringer
and drop to the water below, nearly
100 feet. Several men were attract
ed and pushed out skifls to rescue
them.
Finally one of the four was com
PEELED to relinquish his hold through
exhaustion, falling into the water.
He disappeared beneath the water,
arose again and tried to swim to the
skiff, but before reaching it the little
strength which he retained gave out
and he sank. He arose for the second
time, and the occupants of the skiff
succeeded in catching hold OF him and
pulling him into the boat.
--.sThe poor fellow became uncon-
scious, but the rescuers could not
give their attention to him, as the
other three workuen were still hang
ing to the iron bar. All three held on
for dear life for fully ten minutes,
when they could no longer retain
their grasp, and one by one they fell
to the water and were rescued by the
men in the ski1, who were by this
aforementioned by another boat from
the shore. The first man who fell
soon recovered, and was taken ashore
where all four received medical atten-
ton on the Brownsville wharlboat.
After resting awhile they we're suffi-
GENTLY strong to resume work again
During the excitement u large crowd
gathered on the shore and shouted
at the men to do different things,
which badly disconnected them, and
if they could have held to their posi-
tions n few moments longer they
would have been rescued without get
ting aducking. The workmen would
not give their names, but say it is
their own fault, as they should not
have blocked the channel with the
ladder. --Pittsburg Dispatch.

Ancient Rocks.

All the magnificent buildings OF
Paris are made of limestone taken
from quarries near the city, says st.
Nicholas. These quarries are com
posed oflayers made entirely from
the tiny shells microscopic animals.
No less than one hundred and thirty
seven species exist in these limestone
beds. There were other little beings,
not so small, that did an enormous
share of rock building. They have
received the name "nummulities. {"
from the Latin word "mummus, I"
meaning money, because their shells
resemble coins. In Germany they
are commonly called the devils
money" They areso perfectly form
ed that one cannot help thinking. on
first looking at them, that they have
been stamped with die. In some
places mountains of great height are
made of their shells. In Egypt the
layers are OF such extent that since
centuries before Christ the rock has
been used for building purposes
The ancient pyramids and the
Sphinx are made of the rock.
