Vienna and Paris.

Vienna is not as gorgeous as PariA Paris is the overtlressed plebeisn, Wien. Ina the patrician. Paris gives herself airs; Vienna has solid style Paris is hilarious, Vienna joyous. Paris is crazy, Vienna but cranky. Paris is a moral hell, Vienna an immoral heaven. We'll, in short, Paris is Paris. and Vienna is Vienna. The most light hearted people I have ever known live here. The rich are few, for everybody eats, drinks, dances and goes to the theater and lets the morrow take care of itself. At o'clock every evening, summer and win ter, you will find three fourths of Nien- ma not at home. In the summer ill the Prater, Statpark and Shoenbrunn, in the winter in the too numerous beer gar dens and theaters Vienna is chiefly known for producing three things-wo- men, theaters and coffee. From the cpl curean standpoint the coffee is the best, from moral standpoint the theater is the worst, and from an aesthetic stand point the women the prettiest on the continent.
 The Prats.r, the largest public park ill Europe, is the home of the typical Viennese. Here he may listen to the music of an organ grinder or an over- ture from the latest opera Here he may see Punch and Judy show or a comic opera. He may spin about in a merry go round or ride in princely carriage. Here, as nowhere else, the rich and poor mingle and enjoy themselves. On Sun days the Prater is crowded. and you feel as if you are in very bedlam. Edward Steiner in Womankind.

A Turkish Cemetery.

Mrs. Max Muller. in her Letters From Constantinople, "gives this record of visit paid to a cemetery and the cu- rious superstition in regard to burial:
 "The Turkish women are fond of spending whole days sitting on their carpet in the cemeteries, not from any deep affection for the dead, for the Turks care little for the body when once buried. The soul, the true being they loved, is safe in paradise. though only from the moment that the body is laid in the ground For this reason the flu nerals take place as soon as possible after death, and if you meet Turkish funeral the procession is hurrying along in what appears to us the most indecorous haste, so that the soul may more quickly at- tain to its final bliss A devout Turk passing coffin will give his aid to the bearers, exhausted by the speed at which they go This aid. if only given for 40 paees, secures the pardon of heavy erime''
