MIR. BULL AS A HOST,
Social Changes That Are AMectina
British H0auitalilY.

Is the art Of British hospitality on the de.
cline? A writer in the London World he.
lieves that it is, and assigns as the cause
"the adoption for entertaining purposes Of
that practice Of nomadic dining which hai
been SO largely borrowed Of late years from
the other side Of the channel" The home
dinner party is disappearing. he mournfully
adds, owing to the multiplication Of gor-
geous and palatial restaurants, with all
their alluring possibilities Of vicarious hos
pitality. No one can seriously pretend that
to entertain at restaurant is the same
thing as to entertain under ones own roof
1t is a Notwithstanding method of discharg-
ing social Obligations, utterly devoid of the
sentiment associated with the home.
Flat life" is another foreign abomina-
ton which Is contributing to the downfall Of
the once cherished British institution. Home
life and fiat life two totally distinct
things, and to a large extent antagonistic.
Flat dwellers are debarred from entertain.
ing in any but the most restricted manner
and their only resource is the restaurant.
Again, the art of conversation. on which
the home dinner depended so much for its
success, is on the decline, for today so
great is the dread of mutual boredom that
hosts and guests at restaurant dinner par
ties frequently take the precaution to arm
themselves en- masse with tickets for the
play, and thereby escape from the necessity
of entertaining each other for a moment
longer than is absolutely necess sary by ad-
journing to the theater Immediately the

VICTIMS OF SNAKES.
Some Remarkable Stories Told Of
Their Recovery,

Some Remarkable Stories Told Of
Their Recovery.
Most persons when they hear a natural
list tell about peculiar doings by birds, ami
mails, or reptiles grin and ask about big
fish. One tale. which no one but natural
lists seem to believe, was told in the Forest
and Stream recently by Allen Chamberlain.
He says he heard . cry down in Florida
such as distressed frog makes and found
that blacksnake was swallowing a frog.
When the frog was out of sight the snake
was shot through the head and the frog
was liberated. At .tirst it was stupehed,
but was soon az lively las ever Within
twenty years the same paper has recorded
at least a score Of Just such instances, re-
ported by as many Individuals who aaye
their real names and addresses, and who
declared they had seen the stupefied toad
o., frog come to as from a trance, hop
about as If dazed and at last go away as
s. B. Kendall. in tho Forest and Stream
for June, 1892, told about a mother quail
which In trying to protect her young got
within reach Of a rattlesnake. The snake
was killed in the act of swallowing the
bird. When released the bird was for some
time stupefied, but after a while recovered
enough to stagger off. On the next day she
was all right and caring for her chicks.

AUsTRIA's WOMEN PRISONERS.

Even the Worst Crinlinals Arc "Er-
ring sisters'' and Are Treated Kindly.
From the Chicago Record. II
In Austria a woman, no matter what she
may do. is never regarded or treated quite
as criminal. She may rob, burn. kill-set
every law at defiance, in fact, and break
all the commandments In turn-without a
fear of ever being called upon to face a
gallows. She is not even sent to any or
dinary prison to do penance for her sins;
the hardest fate that can befall her. indeed
is to be compelled to- take up her abode for
q time in convent There the treatment
nieted out to her IL not 50 much justice
seasoned with mercy as mercy seasoned
and none too well. with Justice. Even in
official reports she Is an "erring sis ter
one who has, 1t Is true, strayed from the
narrow path, but quite involuntarily.
The convent to which Vienna sends its
erring sisters is at Neudorf, only a few
miles away from the city. There any
woman who is convicted of either crime or
misdemeanor is at once transported. The
Judge before whom she Is tried decides, of
course. how long she shall remain. He
may. too, II he deems 1t right, give orders
that while there she shall pass a day in
solitary confinement from time to time
and on these occasions be less plentifully
supplied with food than usual In the
great majority Of cases, however no in
structions of this kind are given; the
women are simply handed over to the keep
ing of the superior Of the convent, to be
dealt with as she thinks best. She houses
them, feeds them, clothes them, and pro-
vides them with instruction and occupa-
ton: and the government gives her for
what she does IS kreuzers a day (abont Z
pence) for each prisoner under her care
So long as these women are in the con-
vent the responsibility Of their safe keep
i1g aad general well being rests on the
superior; al d, in return, she is allowed
practically free hand in her mapagement
Of them. There are, 1t is true, certain reg
ulatiOns in force with regard to the amount
Of work they may be required to do and the
punishment that II ay be inflicted on them;
but these are not of q nature to interfere
seriously with her freedom Of action She
is in fact, virtually autocrat within
her own domain, and there are not half
a dozen women In Europe today who have
fellows as she has. The only man attached
to the place-a government inspector-is
little more than her aid-de-camp; and as
for the great officials who pay her flying
visits from time to time, they are more in
clined to seek advice than to give it.
The convent itself is a fine old build
irg, which once upon time was a castle
I he religious community to which II now
belongs received 1t as a present from its
ow ner, who cared more for the church than
for his heir. There is nothing in the appear
ance Of the place to show that 1t is q
prison; the courtyard stands open the
whole day long. and there is never guard
within sight The dcorkeeper is a pretty
little nun, whom a strong woman could
easily seize up in her arms and run away
with. She welcomes ali comers with the
brightest Of smiles and leads them into
the parlor without making single inquiry.

The GuIls' Strategy.

From the Tacoma Ledger.
Allen c. Mason is telling a story tha,
would probably ruin any reputation he may
have for truth and veracity where he is not
as we'll known as he is in Tacoma. He
says he does not absolutely vouch for it's
truth, but believes it to be true. 1t was
told him by some of the men who work on
a boat running from the ocean dock to
Quartermaster harbor. They say that in
stormy weather when the sea gulls find 1t
difficult to get their food from the usual
sources of supply. they alight on the logs
lying on the beach along the shores of the
harbor until as many of them are perched
on log as can get on 1t, and then, APP
parently by direction of one of their num-
ber, they begin to rock back and forth un-
til they turn the log over and then each
one grabs off a harnacle and eats IL, and
then they repeat the operation.

Record of big Salmon,


A few days ago Lord Zetland, while fish
ing in the river Tay, in Scotland, hooked
and landed an extraordinary salmon on his
fly. The fish was feet inches long and .
feet inches in girth. 1t weighed fifty-fiye
pounds. Mallock of Perth is now making
q plaster cast of she fish for his lordship.
In June, 1885. r. G. Dun broke the Ameri-
can record OF large salmon by taking a 81
pound salmon from the Cascapedia river,
Canada. President Arthur previously had
held the American record with a 5O-pound
salmon. A. G. Bennett of Brooklyn, who
was an expert salmon fisher in Scotland,
frequently saw 60-pound salmon landed.
but never one over 81 pounds, which leads
to the belief that the fish die when they
reach such growth, or perhaps cease
growing or biting.

Photographing a Bullet.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Professor Boys Of London recently de-
livered an illustrated lecture in which he
showed photographs of the Lee-Metford
bullet as it passed through a Quarter-inch
sheet Of glass. Just before the bullet
touched the sheet the air wave cut a disk
Of glass about half an inch in diameter
clean out. At the same time the glass
around the hole was crushed into powder
and driven back at an extremely rapid
rate. The glass stuck to the bullet for a
short time after it had passed through, the
disk being driven out in front Of the "bow
wave" In this experiment the waves
caused by the vibrations of the glass were
plainly shown. A photograph of the bullet
after 1t had cleared the glass by nine
inches showed the remainder of the glass
intact, but when the Bullet had proceeded
another sixteen inches, the sheet Of glass
was seen to break and fall in fragments.
