Imperial Household of Austria Curbs
It's Extravaganza.

Imperial Household of Austria Curbs
It's Extravaganza.
According to the Vienna papers, the
domestic arrangements of the imperial
household of Austria have recently
been subjected to reforms of the most
radical nature. Hitherto, it is stated,
the waste and Encouragement have
been gigantic, says the London Daily
News. Now, however, many ancient
usages-some of them dating from the
time of Maria Theresa-have disap-
peared forever. Formerly the servants
enjoyed many perquisites, which
amounted to a very considerable sum
during the year. There were "deputa-
ten" or allowances of wood, wine or
venison. Each domestic, too, used to
receive two large wax candles daily in
the "deputaten" Will be abolished and
there will be rigof> usly fixed weekly
allowance of candies, which will not
err on the side of extravaganza. The
liveries of the court servants have also
been the subject OF reforms. Those
used to remain the property of the
wearers when they were changed for a
new outfit. Now, they must be re-
turned to the superintendent of the
household. In past years the wine
consumed by the servants has amount
ed to some $4,000 litres year. This, it
is estimated, will in future be reduced
by two-thirds. The custom Of permit
ting the servants to appropriate and
sell the remains of all the household
meals and banquets is to be done away
with. On the occasion of ceremonial
banquets the perquisites on this head
have frequently amounted to 40 or
so forms head to the attendants con-
cerned. In future the remains of all
such banquets are to be purchased en-
bloc from the comptroller by con-
tractor. In these and other matters
the house of Hapsburg has determined
in future not to despise domestic econ

The Atlantic mine at Houghton is
the scene of a strike which may assume
serious proportions. Striking tram
mers. 100 in number, all Finlanders,
have been joined by go Finnish miners.
English-speaking miners, who number
one-half OF the nominal underground
force, and cannot keep the mine oper-
ating to advantage, besides which they
object to doing their own tramming,
may also quit work. Supt. Stanton
will not accede to any demands made
by the strikers. Italians are on the
ground TO take the places of the strik-
ers but the Firms have warned them
that they will be killed if they attempt
to enter the nine.

BLADDER TROUBLES,

ment of other diseases.

MoNAsrrRrEs OF rHEssALv.
Pcrched High GU this Rocks and Reached
by Scaling Ladders.


Between the curve of the Macedon-
ian frontier Of the mountains of Khas-
STA and the open town Of Kalabaka,
which terminates the long western
plain of Thessaly, lie the monasteries
Of Meteora, says the illustrated Lon
don News. A casual glance gives the
idea of the whole space being occupied
by lines Of bare hills. but on nearer
inspection a curious amphitheater is
found, carved out among the mountains
and this is occupied by most extra
ordinary collection of rocks, on which
are perched-like storks' nests or the
turban on a Turkish tombstone-the
aerial monasteries OF Meteora. In one
place a huge morolitn is found liter
ally crowned with buildings as in the
case of the Monastery of All Saints,
popularity known as Haglos Barlaam;
in another group OF jagged rocks will
have one point capped by monastery,
as is seen in st. Nicholas. The most
striking feature about these monaste-
ries is the method by which they are
reached, either by loose ladders hang
ing outside the perpendicular rocks or
by being wound up by means of wind
lass in net at the end Of rope. From
Its beautiful position, its size and the
fair preservation Of its buildings, the
Monastery of Haglos Barlaam is fair
ly good specimen of these fifteenth
century monasteries. But what makes
this one of special interest is that the
rope Is said to be tie longest used for
the purpose-340 feet. The ladders to
this monastery are not so difficult to
climb as some. but inasmuch as they
pull out every time you grip them and
oscillate frightfully, it is pleasanter to
grip the net. The monastery of Hag-
los Nika'aas appeared to be in a totally
dilapidated condition and entirely de-
serted wnen We visited Meteora. All
these raonastcries are under the archi-
mandrite, man of commanding pres
ence and saictly countenance. The vii
lage of Kagt-aki Is damned in between
the outer rocks of this curica3 amphi-
theater and in the slit of this rocky
wall at the back of the village stands
most peculiar -glass-looking
monollth. The rocks on either side are
perforated with strange holes, which in
the fourteenth century were inhabited
by the monks Of st. Anthony.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Z. c. Kitchens description of the location of
the famous "Appomattox apple tree" is cor
rect When / rode up to the tree l found
three or four of our boys engaged in con-
versation with about the same number of
rebels. They were explaining that Gen.
Lee surrendered under the apple tree "
around which we were grouped Their
statement was that Gen. Lee was resting and
waiting under the apple tree when the Union
officer rode up delivering message from
Gen. Grant, stating where he would wait his
arrival for the purpose of conference, and
that the road was blocked by artillery and
wagon-trains. While we stood there 1 re-
member seeing an officer with Surgeons
straps on his shoulders ride up to the apple
tree and break off q switch. This, believe,
was the first piece taken from the apple tree
Immediately another officer, also mounted
but Lieutenant, think, of infantry, took
out his knife and cut out of one of the limbs
piece of bark at the same time taking a
riding-switch from one of the limbs A
Union Sergeant helped himself to good
sized limb as memento.
At the time, got the impression that the
surgeon belonged 10 an ILLINOIS regiment
but from yonr description of the occurrences
and surroundings, / am convinced thatit was
none other than Surg. Z. G. Kitchen, of the
55th Pa, who got the first memento of the
apple tree.
Soon an officer. wearing Lieutenant's
straps, accompanied by two mounted Order
lies, rode up, and each Orderly with an ak
set to work on each side of the tree, and soon
felled it to the ground. They then cut the
top off at the forks and split the trunk, each
taking half

he have it sawed in two. and put Gen. Grants

other. like an ambrotype case. still retain
