Vienna,

Here We have q proud, imperial city,
rather disdainful of trade, aristocratic
and easy going, conscious of u long
past, its rulers still animated with tho
conviction that they are the successors
Of ChGrlemagne and Otto, looking on
Berlin as parvenu, on London as merely
commercial, on Paris as half crazy.
Excepting in the domain of music,
vienna is not a home of art and culture,
but it is u center Of dignity and grace,
and Il certain calm mir of superiority.
which, however, does not offend, IL
is content TO look on while other places
explore and write and toll and push
and strain; it stands on its rank, it
can never forget its 16 quarterings and
its claims to high estate. Vienna is
most interesting, perhaps, us the meet
ing place between east and west; where
the fine gentlemen rubs shoulders in
the afternoon lounge along the Graben

of Europe's ancient order, the centre
of u great and most interesting empire,
the city of leisure and of pride so
lofty that it does not know itself to be
pride at all--Vienna is both charm.

PAPER COLLARS.
Their Popularity has Pissed, Hut Some
stiii Wear Them.

"Oh, yes paper collars, are, still

Sentative of the New Orleans, Times
Democrat. Thirty years ago they
were worn by men who considered
themselves very good diesscrs. Now
their use is confined TO few old fol-
lows who won't change, and, Of course,
they havo to be manufactured 10 order.
There AFRO several customers for them
here, and n wealthy planter who lives
some distance north of tho city orders
them by thousand lots. WAS in New
England last summer, aud while visit
ing little town famous for its collar
makers, saw an old plant used for
turning out the paper article Ii had
been rusting away in silence for yours,
and | was astonished ut its size. Tho
buildings easily covered an acre, and
the machinery was enormous. / was
told that in its heTday the concern
shipped its product all over the world
and sold paper collars even in tie Fiji
Islands. i suppose they must hayo
been used as trimmings for missionary
ragout. The celluloid collar industry
is still very much alive, aud you may
be surprised to know that its trade last
year was the largest on record. Who
buys them? Lots of different people.
Thousands arc sold 10 seafaring. mon,
particularly those whose yoyasihg takes

many and Italy import an immense
number. Another big lot is supplied

a fact not generally known and unt
derstand there is a large sale of them
in Turkey. The principal mai lset in
this country is in tho West. The lum-
bermcn up in the Minnesota and Wis.,
consin, regions regard them as very
recherche. and they buy them, by the
bale. In the cities they are worn gem
orally by policemen, who would find it
impossible to keep linen collar neat
in bad weather. The great objection
to celluloid collars used to be their
inflammability. Their composition is
very like gun cotton, and il was form
erly common joke to touch match

Nearly Every One Manifests Same FavorIt,
Eccentrioity.

Nearly Every One Manifests Some Favoritc
Eccentricity.
Pearsons Weekly.
Everybody, more or less, possesses a
favorite prejudice, which, in the eyes
Of everybody else, appears nonsensical
and unnecessary. In the gay time Of
the Georges, for instance, the young
rakes strove their hardest to develop
some popularity or curious prejudice,
by which their names would become
famous and possibly by this be handed
on to posterity.
n, just now there is an eccentric old
gentleman living near Luton, in Bed
Yorkshire, who persists in donning the
attire of an earlier time. Any day he
may be seen taking his walks wearing
knee breaches and an indescribable
green waistcoat, whilst his silk hat is
peculiarly antique. Notwithstanding
the remonstranoes Of his friends, he
refuses absolutely to dress up to date,
protesting that he is great admirer Of
the good old days and of all its Gus.
toms. The present-day orthodox dress
is far too sober and severe to suit his
tastes.
Equally singular is the prejudice
against modern things shared by an
other old gentleman who is the squire
of u small village in Derbyshire, He
also shuns from his tables any French
or Continental dishes, allowing tho
cook to prepare only plain food, in
which saddle of beef plays con-
spicuous part. As might be expected
he is a great believer in the greatness
of his country, and has never yet
evinced a desire to travel further than
Scotland, where he possesses another
residence.
A celebrated author processes ter
rible prejudice against cats. He can
neither eat nor work while one is in
the room, and says that, without see
ing the animal, he can tell whether
one is about. A well-known politician
il similarly preiudiced against the
feline race.
Music halls and theaters are the pet
| aversion of another individual, who
ascribes much Of the wickedness Of this
World to their influence. His eldest
son, of %, once visited a certain place
| of this description, and so enraged was
his father that the latter vowed that if
it occurred again no would cut him of
with the proverhial shilling.
\ A wealthy old lady living in Derby
\ shire has never yet entered q train,
| although her ago must be nearly 81.
Her ideas are naturally very old

nearest line. When she does travel,
she accomplishes it by means of a
pony -chaise very similar to the one the
Green uses at Bamoral.

The journal of Tropical Medicine
has an interesting article on the use OF
the cold tub in tropical countries. III
which it is shown that, health giving
MS it may be to those who arc young
and vigorous and newly arrived, it is
by no means process to be universally
advised. In the tropics a daily bath
of some sort becomes o necessity for
purposes of cleanliness alone, But tho
tub" which is INDUCED in by
Europeans that is, immersion in cold
water, or, at any rate, In water that. is
distinctly colder than the body, for
say five minutes has "a distinct
physiological action besides the re-
moval Of dirt, and the question is
whether this is good or bud. IT is
pointed out that the shock isrelatiyely
greater than in temperate climates,
that tho abstraction of heat during the
process can be but i'll afforded, and
that the depression of temperature in
duced is difficult to recover from.
1t is also insisted on that neither the
circulatory nor the respiratory organs
respond to the stimulus, and that,
ESPECIALLY in the case of those who
are getting on in years, the ssdi-
gestive organs may be congested to q
dangerous extent. We think that all
this is very true, but that it is true
for very large number Of people who
| live in temperate chimes as well as for
those whose lives are passed in the
tropics. Many people who have. as
they would say, been railways accus-
toned" to take cold tub every morn
| ing continue the habit long after it
had better have been given up. They
do this partly because it is . habit.
and partly becase they dislike the con-
fession of getting old which seems to
be involved in giving up the customs
of their more youthful days.
But we IRE quite clear that unless
good reaction very quickly. follows a
cold bath, and follows it without much
"towelling" such Tubing is very often
injurious. Whenever a man has to
rub himself warm" or when he finds
that he is not right sgain until after
| his breakfast, he may feel stire that
his tub is doing him harm, and that
he would do better to take warm
bath, finishing Off with rapid sponge
over with cold water. "For, the young,
! vigorous and newly arrived youth in
| the tropics the cold bath may be in
dulged in with immunity, and it may
be with benefit, but as years lapse, the
tropical resident calls FOB bath water
warmer and still warmer, untilhe finds
that he has best health only when the
water of his bath is not below the
temperature of his body
And it is the same in temperate
climates. On the one hand, the
anaemia Of the tropics renders man
more susceptible to cold, but ON the
other hand. the artcrial rigidity which
in temperate climates is so common on
associate of advancing years renders
men peculiarly unable to bear that
sudden displacement Of blood and THAI
sudden Encouragement Of the circulation
which is involved in getting into colo
