A CURIOUS AUSTRIAN CUSTOM.
Emperor Francis Joseph washes the
Feet of Twelve Old Men.


From the Pan Mall Gazette of London
The Emperor Francis Joseph, as the
head of the most ceremonious court in
Europe, has many curiouss duties to per-
form during the year. There is nothing
more singular or striking among his Ma
jesty's regular functions than the Easter
one known as the ceremony of washing
the feet. The recipients of this extraor-
binary honor are twelve old men aud the
same number of aged danes. This year
the ceremony of washing the feet of the
Old ladies' was omitted, owing to the abb
sence OF the Empress from Vienna. but
the ancient danes received substantial
compensation for this imperial neglect in
the shape of money aud other presents.
AT o'clock the old men We're conveyed
to the ceremonial hall In imperial equip
ages. Dressed in antique German costume,
they took their seats at a long table. HIS
majesty and the whole court were at Di-
vine service when the Lord Chamberlain
announced that all was ready. His ma
jesty and suite entered the hall between
rows of halberdiers. Diplomausts and
their wives gazed upon the scene from the
ambassadors box. In the train OF the
Emperor were the archdukes, ministers,
generals, and the household. The splen-
ulu UNIFORMS OF lne ftunBdfiane ana AUS
TRAN dignitaries contrasted with the
brightness of the ladies' dresses.
The Emperor, surrounded by his cour-
tiers, walked to the table and mounted the
steps. Below stood the archdukes, be-
hind the Chamberlains aud the aides-de-
camp. His Majesty welcomed his guests
and gave the signal for the nheal. The
lord high steward and the pages brought
in the dishes handed them TO the mon
arch, who in turn placed them before the
infrm old people.
The ceremony OF washing the feet,
which followed, was more symbolic than
actual. Court officials took off the shoes
and stockings of the old men and placed
a towel across their knees. The court
chaplin ntoned an "Evangellum,' the
monarch handed his hat to a chamber
lain, and the latter handed 1t to an Off
Ger of lower rank. When the words EFT
coepit lavare pedes discipulorum' had
been reached, the monarch fell on his
knees and formally washed and dried the
feet of the twelve men in turn A prelate
poured the water over the feet and papal
house prelate held the ever. Al the con-
clusion of the ceremony the monarch
walked to the lower end of the estrada
and washed his hands, a page holding the
ever and the lord chamberlain handing
him the towel. The Imperial Bursar there
upon handed purses each containing &c
silver crowns. TO his majesty. who hung
them round the necks of the old men,
and they were then driven TO their homes.
