uustrIous and Wcll-behaved, not apinE
the knowledge and experience of their
elders, but satisfied to live as becomes
their age and station. The villages Of
Austria are more modest yet-simple
children Of nature, dreamy and con-
tent, happy thar they exist, and ques-
tioning but little the why and wherefor.
We feh in visiting Petschau, Birnai,
Salezei, and other villages Of tie same
sort in Austria, as if we had gone back
100 years or s.. and were not ourselves,
but ghosts Of the past. Even Bub, our
irrepresslnle, said as he munched down
some black bread at a wayside inn: u
feel as if I'd lived here as a kid before,
mom-only then ! drank beer Y The
doris, or villages, with their dull red
roofs, clay-tiled, and their eyebrow
windows look very picturesque as you
come upon them nesting in some
valley. The slanting roofs are either of
clay or matched with straw, the house
itself being of stone and cement. r.
regular lanes and byways take the place
of streets, and almost every other house
bears the sign "Gasthaus," where beer
and black bread are sold for a few
kreutzers. Often in tile daytime the
4NeeA olu AOuses arr utstTteGi save ioT
the dogs and the children. Tor the
father is at work at his trade, and tile
mother is out in the fields.
We four Americans wandered one hot
summers day, lazily, through one Of
these deserted doris. Nearly all of the
doors Of the red titled homes stood open.
We walked inside several and looked at
the neat high-piled feather bed in the
room, if SO be they had been able to
scrape for years to have one, and around
at the few poor things about. Some
rough white crochet-work at the win
dows, a coarse eartheu pitcher, pewter
mug or two, few plates, T. broom OF
switches standing in one corner, d small
waxen Christ upon u shelf-these were
all their worldly goods.

always accompanies good health, and an
absence of appetite is an indication OF
something wrong The loss OF "A rational
desire for food is soon followed by lack
of strength, for when the supply of fuel
is cut of the fire burns low, The system
gets into low state, and is liable to severe
attacks of disease. The universal testimony
given by those who have used Hoods
Sarsaparilia, us to IT'S great merits i'll re-
storing and sharpening the appetite, in
promoting healthy action of the digestive
organs, and as Il purifier Of the blood,
constitutes the strongest recommendation
that can be urged for any medicine. Those
who have never use Hoods Sarsaparilla
should surely do 50 this season.

THE MARKT-PLATZ.
All large cities are more or less alike,
50 Vienna and Prague have much in
common with Chicago or New York,
while such towns as Aussig, Tetschen,
or Leiimnrlt2 have not. The one thing
that stamps all Austrian towns alike
with the seal of ancient times, is the
large square, or markt-platz, in the
centre of the town. 1t has an air of

Senator Sherman in a letter to
Walter Hughson of Spokane says of
tie tariff:
have not felt at liberty to write
to the governor of Washington ad-
vising special session of the legis-
lature to elect republican senator.
| have felt that he is better able to
determine this question than l am at
this distance ; that 1t would be pre-
sumption in me to volunteer advice
unless my opinion we're asked by him.
l think the fate of the tariff bill is
very uncertain in the Senate. There
is some strong opposition to it in the
democratic party, but whether it will
die away under the persuasive infu-
ence of the administration and party
pride no one can, as yet, state. The
tariff bill, as it now stands, is
thoroughly vicious, not only greatly
affecting injuriously the multiplied
industries of the country, but it is
still more vicious in reducing the rev.
ensle and creating deficiency which
must be met by loans or insolvency.
That every republican state should
be tfullyrepresented is palpable fact,
and whether your legislature is in
condition to elect senator is fact
that | cannot determine.
