OLD AGE HOMES.
How They Arc Conducted In Austria-The
Inmates and Regulations.

how Ihey Arc Conducted In Austria-The
Inmates and Regulations.
Such of the old people as have clothes
of their own or have friends willing to
provide them with clothes wear them,
whilo tho less fortunate are supplied by
tho poor law department with what thoy
require. In tho latter case tho dress,
though as plain Us possible, is warm and
comfortable and of tho kind worn by the
artisan clnss-of gray or brown homospun
or dark colored serge. 1t is not uniform.
Indeed, as it is made in the building, it is
exceedingly probable that they who wear
it-at least If they be women-haye %
voice in deciding its facon. With tho ex-
ception Of the invalids, all are required to
keep their clothes in good repair and to
pay certain amount of attention to their
own personal appearance. These are
points which, especially in Vi,.,na, arc
strongly insisted upon, for the CITY does
not choose to have its old pensioners going
about dirty or In rags. Tho hall porter
has strict orders to allow no one to go out
until he has "tidied up" and this regula-
tion Is warmly approved Of by the major
ity of the inmates themselves. To an out
slider it certainly seems superfluous, for
most Of tho old people are tho very picture
of neatness They all appear to have
good supply of clothes.
One of tho inmates Of tho Prague homo
insisted on showing mo his wardrobe. In
addition to the rough gray suit he was
wearing, he had pair of dark trousers
and waistcoat, q black coat and long
blue overooat, all In thoroughly good CON
dition. He had, too, under his care silk
gown, which he displayed with infinite
pride. 1t was his wife's wedding dress,
he told Inc. His wife, who lives in an
other wing Of the building, had it seems,
handed 1t over to him for greater safety.
"She always wears it, though, of course,
when we pay visits" he remarked Incl
dontally. Ono of the laundry regulations
of tho homes sounds in English ears as
sorry jest, yet perhaps after all, it has it's
raison d'etro. The inmates arc warned
thatit Is only their bed linen and clothes
that are washed FREQ of charge-not their
putzwasche-i. o., laco frills and furbe-
lows!-Nineteenth Century.

Great Wear of Railroad Iron.

Taking the total length Of the rail-
ways Of the world at even GO, 900 miles
and allowing daily average Of 10 trains
over each road, it is estimated that the
total loss Of iron by wear and tear each
day of the year is not less than 600 tons.
The iron thus lost goes back to tho earth
IN the shape Of fine powder, which is
finally transformed into soluble iron
salts.-St. Louis Republic.

"A Cute Negro,

good story is told of an old negro who
lives out on tho Vinovillo branch. The
line that marks the city limits is only a
few yards beyond tho branch, and tho two
room house occupied by the negro is built
across the limo, one room being inside the
city and the other outside For ten months
in the year tho old negro lives in the room
outside the city, but at the expiration of
that time moves over into tho other room.
By that means ho can truthfully tell the
registrars that ho has been resident for
just 90 days, and is therefore entitled to
register and vote in tho city elections
without paying taxes. According to the
story, no has kept this up for years and
makes no secret of it.-Macon ga Tclc-

Crystal Gazing.

In various forms it is very widely diff

chology the whole suporstitition of crystal
gazing, with it's invocations and fumiga-
tions, it's calls and it's camphor, has
been based.
The late DIR. Mayo would have num-
