A STRANGE WAGER IN VIENNA.
Inc Adjustment OF the Moustache and
the Trouble IL Caused.

the Trouble It Caused.
Vienna Dispatch to the London Standard
curious wager is at present occupying the
attention of such widely separated classes AS
our young noblemen and the Association of
Hotel and Restaurant Walters in this capital.
Several OF the younger scions Of the highest
Austrian aristocrscy, who we're accustomed 10
dine in an old hotel Of high repute in the
harnthner Strasse, took exception to the prac-
tice OF the walters, most OF whom have seen
twenty or thirty years service. in dressing
their moustaches in just the same fashion as
the noble swells" they had 10 serve. One of
the high-born customers accordingly land
wager with some Of his friends, which was
Immediately accepted. that within gwen time
the Objectionable adornment should disappear
from the upper lips of the walters in ali the
fashionable hotels and restaurants in Vienna.
otherWise the proposer himself was TO shave
on his own mbellishment for given period
In oruer TO effect his purpose, the latter
commenced by trying to persuade the hotel
Keeper In the Karnthner Strasse to forbid all
ms servants wearing moustaches, on penalty of
losing his aristocratic customers In this case
he succeeded, but the walters who were mostly
married men, one after another gave notice to
leave their places. They were at once re-
placed by younger men, who, for q consdera-
ton, submitted TO the imposed humiliation.
Inc same thing happened to a number of other
hotels and restaurants and the wager was
nearly won by the lawyer when the proprietor
OF the Hotel Imperial, the first hotel in fianua,
natly refused to comply with the within Of the
vienna Jeunesse dOree, whom he told outright
that If they deserted his house he should
readily find better customers. The case was
also taken up, las matter Of right and honor"
by the Association of Walters which threat
ened to expel from the society any member
degrading himself by humoring aristocratic
caprice in this matter. Thus the matter stands
at the present moment. The bet appears likely
to be lost, and then will come the triumph OF
tbs walters, who expect soon to have the salts

OF themselves going about with shaver lips

IT EATS STEEL RAILS.
A voracious Worm That Agitates the
Scientific Mind.

A voracious Worm That Agitates the
Scientific Mind.
For the past two years the German
Government have been making en-
quiries into the life, history and
ravages of mi of the most remark
able worms known to exist. This
wonderful creature, whose gluttonous
appetite is only satisfied after a feed
on steel, was first brought
into general notice by an article in
the Cologne Gazette in June. 1887.
For some time preceding the pub
LEGATION of the account mentioned the
greatest CONSERVATION existed among
the engineers employed on the rail
road at Hagan by accidents, which
always occurred at the same place,
proving that some terrible defect
must exist either in the material or
the construction of the rails.
The Government became interested,
and sent a commission to the spot for
the purpose of maintaining a constant
watch at the spot where the accidents
lone of them attended with
loss OF Ife-had occurred. 1t was not,
however, until after six months had
elapsed that the surface of the rails
appeared to be corroded, as If by acid,
to the extent of over one hundred
yards.
The rail was taken up and broken,
whereupon it was found to be literally
honeycombed by a thin, thread-like
gray worm. The worm is said to be
| two centimetres in length and about
the bigness of a knitting
| needle.
1t is OF a light gray color, and on
the head it carries two little sacs. or
| glands, filed with a most powerful
corrosive secretion, which is elected
every ten minutes when the little
demon is lying undisturbed. This
liquid when squirted upon iron rend-
ers that metal soft and spongy, and OF
the color of rust, when it is easily and
greedily devoured by the little insect.
There is no exaggeration,n says the
official report. Sin the assertion that
this creature is one of the most vora-
cious, for it has devoured thirty-six

The State of New Jersey is engaged
to some extent in the missionary bust
ness, and the work it does is full of
romance and novelty. The Adjutant
General is the busiest kind of a PEN
sion agent, and his assistant, Colonel
James Kiger, is paid for going about
the State and hunting up worthy
cases of pensioners and assisting those
who are unable to help themselves.
Since 1882 nearly 5000 persons have
been rendered valuable assistance in
having their claims adjusted,
In 1880 a joint resolution was intro
duced in the Legislature which
authorized the Adjutant General to
give attention to many claims then
pending before the Pension Depart
Inent. The work was assigned to Col
onel kiger, and he familiarized him
self with every department of the
work, and the business In connection
with the office has grown amazingly.
He answers each year about 2. 900 let
tiers, and adjusts on an average 800
claims.
The work is full of romance, for it
takes the Colonel into garrets and
long drives through the woods hunt
ing up evidence and taking acknowl-
edgments.

every member on it was repeatedly ap-
plauded. One interesting feature of the
evening was the presentation of a hand
some gold badge of the order to Mr..
Thomas Mahoney by the members of the
order. Mr.. John w. Griffin made the
presentation speech. to which Mr.. Ma
honey responded. After the entertain
ment was over the hall was cleared for
dancing, and nearly every one stayed.
