The Jubilee celebrations IN Vienna
have proved productive of unprecedent-
ed demonstrations of loyalty to the
aged Emperor. From nearly every part
of the Empire came the woodmen, for
esters and hunters the other day to
unite at the Castle of Schoenbrunn in
an imposing celebration. His Majesty
appeared in the picturesque costume
which ne always affected as a hunter,
and which, worn with certain modifica-
tions by forester and hunter alike, is
about the equivalent of the English
sporting costume, leaving, however,
the knees bare and the throat open.
His Majesty read his reply, and was
made the recipient of a symbolic gift,
the oak-leaf sprig in solid gold. The
friendly conversation which the En-
peror conducted with his old woodmen
and keepers formed one of the most
sympathetic events Of the demonstra-
ton.
The great feature, however, of the
Jubilee celebrations was the procession
through the streets Of Vienna, in which
1900 men and women took part. They
included not only the foresters who had
| been present at Schoenbrunn, but an
, international array Of marksmen.

readily be forgotten. There was great
deal of Southern freedom in the de-

made the sight singularly refreshing.

watched the carpenters lay a board
walk five hundred feet long and fifteen
broad, that now serves as a PASSAGE
way between the tents. They slept
shelterless on the bare earth while this
highly useless labor was in progress,
and all this while they wondered much
at the judgment that directed the for
nation of the camp.
On Saturday, the 18th, little thing
occurred which made the sick men in
the hospital toss under their covers
with indignation. 1t was not until mid
afternoon when the first visitors stag
gered up through the mud to their
quarters that they were informed peace
had beer declared; perhaps they felt
this more keenly than any Of the dis
comforts to which they had been wan
tonly subjected. AS one sick soldier ex-

many great and successful men have
beeen supposed to possess the fatal
gift. Pope Plus TX. was one of these,
and in Rome it was a mere matter of
common talk. If he met you in the
street suddenly, and his gaze fell on
you, it was the fashion quickly to
make the magic sign with two fingers
under your cloak, and even then some
times the baneful glances fell on you
and brought you i'll luck. Many were
the stories, more or less well attested,
of i'll luck which was supposed to last

the Iope. A lady in society came into

Therefore the soldier wants to know
what's wrong with the brains of the
government. He began to ask himself
this question when the first trans
ports arrived from Cuba bearing the
sick and wounded, without medical at
tendance, proper stores, or the COM
monest sick room necessities. It was
then the inefficiency Of the government
and the seemingly hopeless inability of
the men in office to meet the situation
was shown. Later he witnessed the
elimination of this inefficiency at Mon

determined upon as far back as July

He knows that two weeks elapsed and
no steps were taken to even erect tents
at the camp. He knows, too, that when
General Young arrived on the ground
August 5th, he at once started in to
make up for lost time. Two days later
orders came from Washington, and
General Young had to change his plans
and begin again, for the government,
having failed elsewhere, now proceeded
to show a weird and wonderful activity
at Montauk Point. Up to the 14th Of

Reindeer Shooting in Norway.

Wild reindeer shooting was formerly
one of the finest of all Norwegian field
sports. Since the introduction Of mod
ern firearms, and especially OF repeat
ing rifles, the bonders, or peasant farm
ers, shooting in and out of season, and
often wounding two or three deer for
every one they bring to bag. have done
much to destroy this fine wild sport.
Game laws and a close season are now
existent; but, owing to tthe remoteness
and wildness of much of the reindeer
country, they are, unhappily, not. al
ways to be enforced. and the deer
steadily decrease. At the present day,
unless the English reindeer stalker
knows the district in which he is to
shoot, and the habits of the animals
themselves, and is good rifle shot, he
may be advised to save the ELL shoot
ing license and the prospect of much
weary and profitless stalking in a
rough and most difficult country. II.
however, the stalker has had shooting
in other parts of the world. is content
to rough it, and has abounding patience
and power of pedestrianism, he may
still hope to bring home the head Of a
good reindeer buck. Few animals are

proach, and more suspicious in their
habits than the wild reindeer Of to-day.

that had pulled him down; II threw up
a good twenty dollars a week job to en-

my mind If the chance ever came I'd do
my duty at the front. But we were
sent down to Tampa. I belong to the
Sixth Cavalry. They sent US northern
men there at the very beginning Of the

we none of us were worth our salt. We
were drilled four hours day, and right
in the very hottest part of the day. OF

stupid; we hadn't any life or ambition
left. Then the rainy season came. and
with it the 1eas and mosquitoes; we
had a regular pest of the former; they
were in our food, our coffee, every
where; you couldn't put bit of bread
down for a second without its being
black. The men wouldn't eat; they had
very little appetite anyhow, because of
the awful heat. I tell you, we were
glad when the order came to move
north, beside the boys from the front.
The fellows who had been in the scrap
were beginning to come through and it
made your heart sick to see them"
II never saw anything like it," said
the convalescert, who CHANGED to be q
regular army man. Things were ter
ribly mismanaged. There we were,
right in the heart of civilization, with
railroads and steamship lines handy,
and the men returned from the front
with the very same bandages on their
wounds that had been placed there
days and often weeks before! Yet
nothing was done for them in Tampa;
they were rushed of to Fort McPher-
son just as they were. I have served
in the northwest, in the Indian coun-
try, but I never saw anything like
that"

"Have you heard anything about how
