BIGGEST HOUSE ON THE GLOBE.

Contains Over 1900 Rooms, and 2112
Persons Live in 1t.
Every American, European and Oriental
country has its scores of public and private
mansions, yet Vienna, Austria, has the giant
of them all.
The Friehaus free house,. situated in
Wieden, suburb of the city just men
toned, is the most spacious building on the
globe. Within its walls whole city of
human beings live and work, sleep and eat.
1t contains in all between 1850 and 1900
rooms, divided into upward of 400 dwelling
apartments of from four to six rooms each.
This immense house has thirteen court
yardS-hve open and SIX covered-and a
large garden within its walls. A visitor to
the building relates that he once spent two
hours in looking for man known to reside
in the house.
Scarcely trade, handiwork or profession
can be named which is not represented in
this enormous building. Gold and silver
workers, makers of fancy articles, lodging
house keepers, bookbinderS, agents, turner's,
matters. officers, locksmiths, joiners, tutors,
scientific men, government clerks, three
bakers, is tailoIS, 80 shoemakers and many
other tradeSmen live Ill it.
The house has 81 staircaSes, and fronts on
three streets and one square. In one day
the postman's delivery has amounted to as
many as 1000 pieces to this single but
Titanic house. To address a letter to the
house and to the person it is intended for

to whom 1t Is addressed will ever receive it.
In order to make assurance doubly SURE"
all letters addressed to the '.Freihaus' must
be provided with both the given and the
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 go astray, as though

At the present time 2112 persons live in
this immense building, and pay an annual
rental of over 100. 600 forms.

were made low to the ground, the height OF
a sofa.
In the fourteenth century beds were made
of wood, very simple with the bed-clothes
draping down entirely over it to the floor.
Inasmuch as the bedstead did not show, no
carving was put upon any part of it, except
ting the head-board, which was very high,
and there the work was Of the most elaoor-
ate character.
The luxury of royalty at this period was
marvellous.
Precious fabrics were used for bed covers,
embroidered almost solid in gold thread on
the outer side, with ermine and soft furs on
the inner The bed-clOtheS were usually
two in number, one over the mattress to rest
upon and the ether to cover the sleeper.
In the fifteenth century prodigalitv and
luxury ran riot.
Three or four mattresses were frequently
used as well as cushions and head-restS in
great number.
The mattresses of the better classes were
covered with satin the sheets were made of
the finest silk and made so wide that they
could be wrapped around the sleeper and
tucked under, and still drape either sid1
many feet across and over the bed onto the
floor.
In these times the average bed was 7x6
feet in size, and beating the beds was the
nightly duty of the servants; not, as might
be supposed to give lie and elasticity to the
mattress. but TO disclose any burglar hidden

TWO DREAMS.
How New York State Was Granted
to General Johnson Years Ago.

There was a time in the history of our
country when the name of Soiengarahta, or
as the English have it, ''Old King Hendrck. -
stood for all that was brave and powerful.
Many Indian allies of the English proved
treacherous and revengefu, but Soien-
garahta and his sturdy band of Mohawk
warriors stood firm in their loyalty to their
''pale-faced brethren"
Old veterans Of the famous Duke Of MARI
borough regarded Hendrick with reverence,
and the British officers stationed in America
were only too glad of the friendship aud
advice of so valiant a man and so shrewd a
counselor as the venerable Mohawk sachem.
American life in the eighteenth century
seemed exceedingly tame to the spirited
English officers, who had been used to gay
society and high living, and it was their GUS
tom to enliven themselves by giving enter
tainments to their friends and brother Off
GERS. To one of these entertainments, given
by General (afterward Sir William) John
son, Hendrick was invited.
The aged and griZZled hero, better used to
simple fare in his native woods, was greatly
pleased by the extensive preparations for
enjoyment which he saw at General John
sons house.
AS he passed from room to room, inspect
ing and admiring everything, his eye fell
upon q full military dress of fine scarlet,
richly embroidered and Respondent in gold
lace and buttons, which had been carelessly
tossed into chair With reverent hands
Hendrick lifted and examined the gorgeous
suit which had just been sent to General
johnson by his royal master in England.
At last, with sigh. he softly laid the gar
ments upon the chair and left the room; but
during that evening and the next day he re-
turned frequently 10 look with greedy eyes
at the scarlet dress.
Upon the third and last morning of the
entertainment Hendrick said to General
johnson, after exchanging with him the COM
pliments of the day; ''Pale-faced brother,
Hendriek had a dream last night"
Indeed" exclaimed the General, "and
pray let us hear what it was about"
'Pale-faced BROTHER" said the chief grave
ly, 'Hendriek dreamed that that beautiful
coat was his"
'Red-faced brother" cried General John
son. promptly and heartily, SIT is yours"
Joyfully Hendrick bounded away, and
presently his tall, commanding form was
dressed in the magnificent scarlet costume.
Some time after this Hendrick resolved to
give an entertainment and invite all those
English officers who had treated him so
royalty. Accordingly the guests were bid
den, and General Johnson was among the
number.
Hendricks home was in that part Of the

beautiful country now called New York
State, through which the Mohawk River
runs. The chieftain was bountiful host,
ana all his guests retired at q late hour, well
satisfied with their entertainment.
The next morning General johnson arose
early and went out into the open air to greet
his host.
''Ah!" exclaimed Hendrick, his face
Lighting up at the sight of his friend. "how
did my pale-faced brother sleep?"
The General replied that he had rested
well, but that he had had a remarkable
dream.
"What did my brother dream?" asked the
sachem.
II dreamed" said johnson, slowly, and
spreading his hands out before him as he
spoke, that all those lands were mine"
Hendrick looked at the General in speech
less wonder. The Indians are firm believers
in dreams, and Hendrick was sorey per-
picked. TO grant this request was TO give
up nearly 100000 acres of well-wOoded,
fertile land; TO refuse was to tempt the Great
Spirit to send some terrible evil on tie man
who had dreamed.
At length Hendrick turned to the General
ana said solemnly: "The land is yours
But my pale-faced brother must not dream
again."
This grant of land which was made by
Hendrick, and afterward received the royal
sanction, was for some time called 'the
dream land. "-Minna Stein Wood in October

to describe some species, namely, the gray
parrot, as the "bird-man." As to their
mutual attachment, it is known that when

shrieks of complaints and them
selves fall the victims Of their friend
ship" as Audubon said; and when
two capt.Se parrots. though belonging to two
different species, have contracted mutual
friendship, the accidental death of one of
the two friends has sometimes been followed
by the death from grief and sorrow of the
other friend. 1t is no less evident that in
their societies they find infinitely more pro-
lection than they possibly might find in any
ideal development of beak and claw.
Very few birds of prey or mammals
dare attack any but the smaller species of
parrols, and Brehm is absolutely right
in saying of the parrots. as he also
says of the cranes and the Sociable monkeys,
that they hardly have any enemies besides
men; and he adds: sit is most probable
that the larger parrots succumb chiefly to
old age rather than die from the claws OF
any enemies" Only man, owing to his
still more superior intelligence and weapons,
also derived from association, succeeds in
partially destroying them. Their very lon
gevity would thus appear as result oil their
social life.-Prince Krapotkine in the Nine
teenth Century.

wrought bedsteads of this character. The
illustration which we show gives an excel
lent idea Of the way these beds were made
up. The pillows were lped high at
the head, so that one sat rather than
lay. This style was much in use in
France up to the thirteenth century. 1t
was the custom for the occupants to disrobe
completely upon going TO bed, the night-robe
consisting of a bed sheet wrapped around
one. 1t was not until late in the seven
teenth century that the nightgown OF to-day
was introduced. The use of the night-cap
was one of the oldest customs on record,
and long before the night-gown came into
fashion the male occupant of bed invari-
ably adorned his head on retiring with
night-cap.

The Bird Is Forced to Become So by It's
Surroundings.
In India the jays and crows come together
from many miles around to spend the night
in company with the parrots in the bamboo
thickets. When the parrots start hunting
they display the most wonderful intelli-
gence, prudence and capacity of coping
with circumstances. Take, for instance, a
band of white cockatoos in Australia Be-
fore starting 10 plumber corn1ield they first
send out reconnoitring party, which occu-
pies the highest trees in the vicinity of the
field, while other scouts perch upon
the intermediate trees between the field
and the forest and transmit the signals. If
the report runs "All right score of
eockatoos will separate from the bulk of the
band, take flight in the air, and then fly
toward the trees nearest 10 the field. They
also Will scrutinize the neighborhood for a
long while, and only then will they give the
signal for general advance after which the
whole band starts at once and plumbers the
field in no time. The Australian settlers
have the greatest difficulty in beguiling the
prudence OF the parrots, but, if man, with
all MS arts and weapons, has succeeded in
killing some OF them, the cockatoOS become
so prudent and watchful that they hence
forth battle all stratagems.
There can be no doubt that it is the prac-
tice Of life in society which enables the par
rots 10 attain that very high level of almost

DemoraIizins Brass Band.

One of the most annoying and at the same
time amusing sights | ever witnessed was q
scene on river excursion recently. There
was brass band on board the boat. and
while the band was in the middle of a grand
piece of music small boy secured q con-
spicuous position in front of the players and
began sucking lemon. He acted so as to
attract the attention of several of the players
who seemed to be unable to avoid watching
the urchin as he pulled away at the sour
fruit Now, every one knows how the sight
of lemon will make ones mouth water.
and that is just what the musicians wish to
avoid. The harder the boy sucked the
lemon the more watery became the mouths
of the players aud finally they had to stop
to clean their instruments, and the leader of
the band had the boy removed. The boy
claimed he could stop q brass band every
time with one lemon.-Interview with
