An Emperor's Slausoleum.

The mausoleum of the Emperor Fred
erick is completed externally. with the
exception OF the copper roof OF the
cupola. In the interior the stonema-
sons and sculptors are still at work. The
decorations Of the Interior are very
rich. and carried out entirely in light
gray Silesian sandstone. The sober
color of this is only interrupted by the
polished dark green Syeuite pillars.
As finish to the arch which spans the
opening of the altar niche. beautiful
formed escutcheon has been chosen.
over which the imperial eagle scars
with outspread wings. This Is fanked
on both sides by figures Of angels
holding religious symbols in their
hands. The spandrels Of the upper
gallery are adorned with cherubs.
Within the last few days the emperor's :
consent has been given to the carrying

The recent strike of the shirtmakers
has called attention to business the
magnitude of which few understand.
says the N. Y. Sun. Mr.. Wallach OF
H. Wallach & Co.. told the state board
of arbitration = few days ago that
there were 5000 shirtmakers in New
York. Other manufacturers think
this estimate too large. but there is no
doubt that the industry is an enor-
nous one. 1t is almost wholly monop-
olized by Russian Jews. generally those
who have been but short time in the
country and are unfamiliar with its
language and customs, though fire.
quently they are people of some edu-
cation aud Intelligence enough to have
resented the cOndititvs of his life in
Russia and ability enough to have
found the means of escaping from
them. The shirtmakers herd together
in the poorest and cheapest tenements
on the east side. This is made neces-
sxry chiefly by the nature OF their
trade. A shirtmaker works until late
at night. and the house of his sewing
machine would not be tolerated by the
people in an ordinary tenement house.
Most of the shirtmakers are men. be-
cause the work is 90 simple that mo-
skill ID required. and the men will
work under conditions and for wages

A Curious CustOms

There is an old ceremoney in Iceland
of showing civilIties to strangers pre-
valent in the remote rural districts. II
is that the ladies of the house shall pull
of the trousers of the fatigued and dis
consulate travellers. The theory is that.
as the rain may be expected to be al
ways falling, the trousers must be wet
at bedtime. and as the regular days
pony ride is about 40 miles the advent
urer from other lands should be exceed
ingly weary, and in need CT gentle en-
couragemcnt and assistance. 1t is
thought, therefore, that it is nothing
but an act of pOliteness and true con-
Germ for the welfare of the traveller that
the most agreeable person in the house
shall undress his legs. l may add that
there is not among the 1celanders who
perform this solemn rite the remotest
suspicion that there is any indeiicacy
in the performance. 1t Is related OF
the most pious and famous missionary
who ever visited the island, Hender-
sou, who distributed bibles throughout
the island fifty years ago. that this bus
iness of pulling off his trousers was a
sad embarrassment to him. and some
what prevented the development of his
vital piety. He could not refuse to ac-
cept the hospitality of the good people,
among whom he distributed the good
book. for which they were greatfui IN
the extreme, and he finally managed a
compromise and systematized it. he
insisted upon first rolling himself IN
blanket and then upon embarrassing
himself as to suspenders and waist
band, and then. and not until then,
he allowed the ladies to seize the Of
Tending garment by the straps (Which
he uniformly wore to keep his trousers
legs down when riding) and pull them
off. So while they took the trousers in
triumph he spared his modesty all the
rudeness of the terrible shocks that
would otherwise have been inflicted.
This philosophical and Ingenious min.
lister published large volume about
his troubles in Iceland. and the story
he tells abourhis trouble with his trous-
ers is very drolI. and in fact is quite
pathetic, profusely garnished with pious
observation-disclosures.
