AUSTRIAN LADIES.
Tho Training of tho Aristocratio Yomex
OF This Old Nation.


Ladies of high birth are wonderfully
capable, owing to their excellent system
OF education, says q Vienna letter to
the New York Evening Post What
ever they may be called upon to do
from cutting dress to making salad
they are always ready. -
Young ladies with titles and fortunes
arc sent to famous milliners and dress
makers, where they serve n regular up
premiership, and remain until perfectly
able to cut and mako any garment.
An Austrian lady who can not swim
or does not know how to ride well is an
exception.
Needle work of every kind, even to
the making of lace, is part of every
young lady's education. There is no
smattering of any thing; whether She
learns the piano or to draw, she learns
it thoroughly: If she has no talent Mt
all for an art, which is seldom, she lets
that art entirely alone. Her pedestrian
accomplishments put us quite to shame;
her efforts of memory are another
source of wonder to us.
The wonderful memory which cna-
bles Austrian girls to repeat some
times the whole of paradise Lost" or
an entire drama, comes from practice
begun in bnbyhood.
Every day the girl is expected to learn
n poem or n page. She often does it
while making her toilet; and at last a
poem requires but single reading, and
it is slowed away in the memory safely.
AS linguists they are famous. This, too,
comes from learning when very young.
As the court language is French, learn
ing it is compulsory. Even servants arc
expected to speak both French and Ger
man.
The burghcrs' daughters will not con-
descend to the learning of dress-making
and cooking, which the titled lady can
do without its rejecting on her social
position. And SO the young women to
whom such knowledge would be of
practical benefit are inefficient, while all
the ladies ut the court have at their
fingers ends the power to do any thing.
The Austrian lady of station is ac-
quainted with every detail of the cui-
sine. A story is told by vicnncse ladies
OF another, who, having neglected this
branch of her education, allowed, at n
great dinner party which she gave, two
dishes of the same color to be served
IN successioix-a fault for which no ex-
cusc could be made.

INDIAN AND HEBREW.
A Comparison OF Some Peculiar Customs
of the Two Races.

a Comparison OF Some Peculiar Customs
of the Two Races.
Early travellers among the Indians
claim to have found rites and cere-
monies strilSinglY similar to those of
the Jews, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. George Catlin, the artist,
who spent considerable portion of his
life among the tribes, said he believed
that they had Jewish blood in their
veins, although he could not go SO far
as to Identify them with the lost tribes
OF Israel. The Indians worshiped a
a great Spirit or a jehovah Idolaters
were never found on the North Amer
lean continent. The tribes had their
council or medicine houses, which they
held most sacred. They had their high
priests and their prophets. They fol-
lowed the Hebrew custom in not allow
ing the women to worship with the men.
Fifty years agu the Sioux exploited the
same belief that they are dancing them
selves crazy about now. They main
tanned that the Indians were the chosen
people of the Great Spirit, and that in
time they were to triumph over the rest
of the world through Messiah.
In marriage the Indians had customs
which savored of Palestine. They
gave presents for their wives. In their
bathing and in their family relations
they followed with remarkable precis-
ion many of the requirements of the
Mosaic law. They observed certain
laws of publication which the Old Tcs-
lament teaches. Fifty years ago trav-
elers found no difficulty in discovering
the practice of these rites and cere-
monies by the Indians. But as the line
of white settlement advanced the In
dians gave up their old customs. Their
forms were laughed at by white men
and many of them were abandoned
The ghost dance, which the Sioux have
been soaring the frontier with, is the
old sun dance under a new name. It
used to be practiced frequently as an
atonement ceremony.
There was once an Indian feast which
was very like the annual feast Of the
passover. Some of the tribes kept n
feast with branches of willow and pre-
liminary fasting, which bore striking
resemblance to the Feast of Tabcr-
nacles. The practice of Offering to the
Great Spirit the first green corn, and
the first fruits of all kinds, was almost
universal among the Indians before
they became contaminated with white
men

The Lazy Mans Pipe.

The most curious pipe of the year is
the lazy mans pipe. AS it's name ex-
presses, this is a pipe requiring the
minimum OF exertion to use it, Natur-
ally it is OF somewhat complicated
design, consisting OF Il tube to hold the
tobacco, and IL stem running crosswise
OF this for the mouth. The pipe is held
by passing the two first fingers of the
hand through two rings, one on either
side of the bowl stem, and the mouth
piece being placed in the mouth, the
pressure of a small valve that lies Just
under the thumb sets the ingenious
mechanism inside to work, and the
smoke is forced automatically into the
mouth
