A Worried Farmer.

A farmer who has been studying
agricultural journals writes the editor
of an Ohio paper that he is stumped.
He says he reads in one journal that
a, side window in his stable makes a
horses eye weak on that side. An
other paper tells him that a front win
dow hurts his eyes by the glare; those
on diagonal lines make him shy when
he travels; one behind makes him
squint-eyed, and a stable without win
dows makes him blind. The farmer
wants to know whether there Is any
place outside the heads of those edi-
tors where he can hang his windows.

JOSEPH'S FOOT-WASHlNO.
The Curious Ceremony OF Holy Week
In Vienna.

The Curious Ceremony of Holy weel
I'm Vienna.
On Holy Thursday, at Vienna, tn,
Emperor Francis Joseph performed the
annual ceremony of washing tho feet
of twelve old beggars, says the New
York Sun. The ceremony took place in
the hall of ceremonies in the imperial
palace. On platform raised slightly
above the floor was long table with
twelve covers, plate, knife, wooden
spoon, folded napkin for each, with a
piece of bread, a pewter mug, and a
little blue pitcher filled with water. AT
10 o'clock, twelve old men, the young
est SO and the Oldest Sc, entered the hall
and were supported, each by two rela-
tives, to the platform, which they
mounted with difficulty, and were
placed in their seats, their relatives,
most OF them women, standing behind
them. Then entered twenty knights of
the Teutonic order, headed by their
master, Archduke Eugene, dressed in
white with long black crosses on the
breasts of their doublets and others on
the back of their long black cloaks.
They marched around the hall, and
then, forming a line on either side,
made way for the ministers, with Count
kalnoky at the head, and the en-
peror's staff. They were followed by
the primate of Austria, Cardinal
Gruscha, with priests and acolytes
bearing candles and burning incense.
Then came the emperor, dressed in the
white uniform of an Austrian general
and wearing the order of the Golden
Fleece. He advanced to the table and
addressed a few words to the old men.
At signal from the master of cere-
monies twelve guardmen stepped for
ward, each bearing on a tray the first
course of the sumptuous repast; the
emperor now took of his helmet,
gave it to an officer, and, passing down
the line, arranged the dishes before the
guests. Twelve archdukes then ap-
preached and removed the Barmccide
banquet from the guests eyes, handing
the dishes to the guards. Tits was
repeated for three courses, and with
the last, the plates, knives and other
objects on the table were also taken
of. They were all packed later, with
the food, in wooden boxes, and sent
to the homes of the old men. The
table was then taken away, and the
washing of feet" began. A priest ap-
preached with a towel and golden
basin full of water; their slippers were
taken from the old mems feet, and the
emperor, on his knees. beginning with
the Oldest, moistened his feet with
water and dried them with the towel.
rising, still on his knees, he
passed on to the next one, and 70 on
to the end of the row. When he had
finished he rose and placed around each
mans neck chain, attached to which
was small white bag containing thirty
pieces of silver. That ended the cere-
mony; the emperor and his suite with
irew, and the old men were taken home
by their friendg.

LUCKY GOLD huNrERs.
Some of Those Who Struck 1t Rich In the
victor Fields Were Poor Men.

During the period of first locations
among the rich mines at Victor there
were incidents which form an interest
ing history concerning the character Of
the men and the peculiar circumstances
under which they made their lucky
finds. All of them were poor, and nearly
all have quickly grown from poverty to
afduence, while many others now share
the benefits of their fortune. tits well
known that the two leading discoveries
were poor carpenters-W. S. Stratton.
the millionaire owner Of the Independ-
ence, and w T. Shemwell, who found
the Elkton. Of all men known to pos
sess wealth Mr.. Stratton is one of the
least pretentious, though he realizes the
benefits and blessings of fortune and
says he will enjoy the uses of his money
to the end of making the balance of his
life pleasant. Shemwell, owning 100,
600 shares in the Elkton, is over in
Honolulu with his family, having
good time on an income of 81, 900 per
month.
1t is we'll known that Burns and
Doyle were also poor young men who
found the rich Portland mine by the
usual chances of the prospector and for
some time were unaware Of their good
fortune. When they had reached depth
of IS feet in the process of development
work, John Hannah. another poor pros
pector, purchased third interest in the
claim for $500. After the purchase,
greatly to his joy and in one sense to
the discontinue Of the locators, an essay
from the ore gave returns of $40, 900 in
gold to the ton Immediately after that
the partners shipped 10 small sacks that
Melted them $1,000 cash. Since that
time these men have grown wealthy,
and the group of mines belonging to the
Portland continues to grow in richness.
Many others in the district are now
going through the first stages of such
experiences, and there are many more
mountains and hills that will some day
be SCARED and drilled and honeyoombed
as Battle mountain appears to be today.
