An Absurd custom In Vienna.

/ In Vienna every mans home is his
dungeon from 10 p. m. to 6 a. m. Vienna
is a city Of fats, and at 10 p. m. the
common entrance door of each block is
closed and bolted. Thereafter persons
passing in Or out must pay fine of
twopence to the concierge until mid
night and fourpence from that hour to
6 a. M. TO go out to post letter costs
twopence and the same amount to re-
turn. To prolong visit to friend
after 10 p. NJ. means twopence to get
out Of his house and twopence more to
enter your own. A natural resuk Of
this irritating tax is that Of all capital
cities Vienna is earliest to bed.

Where the Joke Was.

A belated wayfarer was passing an
English public house late at night
when foreigner was elected there
from who bore all the signs of ex-
tremely rough usage, but nevertheless
was laughing immoderately.
what is the joker" the gentleman
asked.
why" said the other, "a man came
up to me in the bar just now, gave me
a fearful punch on the nose and said,
Take that, you blooming Norwegian .
and he fell to laughing again.
But" the gentleman said. there's
nothing very funny in that"
mo-" the man answered, "but then
he hit me a crack in the eyes and after
ward knocked out my teeth, saying,
And take that, too, you blooming Nor
wegian.
"But still can't see anything fun
ny"
'Ho, no, how the other yelled. "The
joke is that I'm Swede!'

AN ANGRY MUSICIAN.

Amusing and Pathetic Story Of Com
stant's Picture, ssToO Later
An amusing and pathetic story is
told Of BENJAMIN Constants first pic
ture tosattract attention. 1t was called
".Too Later and represented Fortune
and Glory visiting an artist Just as be
had bgvxthed his last. The artist was
lying on the bed. The figure Of Death
stood near the door, through which
Fortune, carrying box of money. and
Glory, bearing laurels, had just en-
tered
i The artist received many letters from
those who had seen the painting. One
was written by professor of music,
an old man, who expressed in touch
ing words the emotion he had felt at
the sight of the artists work. He
asked Constant to visit and talk to him
about "Too Later
The invitation was accepted, but as
soon as the old professor saw the artist
he uttered an ejaculation of surprise
and anger. "Why, you are quite a
YOUTH he exclaimed. Il thought you
were old and, like myself, had spent
your life in vain endeayor to obtain
recognition of your abilities. con
ceived that picture to be the last de-.
spairing cry of man as unfortunate as

your eyes are full of hope. You are a

Got the Fish In.

On the occasion of the opening of
parliament during one of the years
when Pitt was prime minister the
lords and commons were greatly per-.
picked by reference to the goldfish at
Windsor castle which was introduced
into the kings speech and read by Pitt.
1t was not until after both Pitt and
King George We're dead that the expla-
nation came out The prime minister,
it is related, had come to the king at
the palace with the speech from the
throne fully prepared. He found the
king seated at the edge of the basin of
fountain earnestly regarding his
goldfish sporting about in the water,
Pitt read the speech. docs your maj
esty approve the DISCOURSE asked the
minister. Il will approve it, but only
on one condition" said the king. sand
that is that you introduce in it some
reference to these fishes" The king
was obdurate and refused his author
ization of the royal speech until Mr.
Pitt had promised faithfully to say
something in it about the royal gold
fishes.

Une-,ected Applause.

Shortly after Mr.. Wilson Barrett
Joined the theatrical profession he be-
came member of company perform
ing at the old Theater Royal, Dublin.
His part, naturally, was q small one,
and, greatly to his surprise, his first
speech was greeted with a round Of
applause, ibis unlocked for tribute
elated the young actor, and he exerted
himself to sustain the good impression
he appeared to have made. Just as he
was leaving the theater one of the
scene shutters grinningly accosted him
and said, "Sure, it's got about among
the bhoys that we're brother of the
man that was hung!" A Fenian named
Barrett had that morning paid the exs
IRENE penalty Of the law.

salad Plants.

The chief value and advantage OF
salad plants are derived from their sa-
line matters. In these they are com
paratively rich, especially in potash
salts. Cooking generally extracts these
from vegetables, and consequently such
vegetables as can be eaten in an UNI
cooked state present these unchanged
and in a most agreeable form in the
crisp, cool and succulent leaves. which
also serve to introduce a large amount
of water into the system.

1t is related that when the Earl Of
Rochester in the reign of Charles III.
rose to make his maiden speech in the
house of lords he said: my lords, my
lords, / rise this time for the first time
the very first time. My lords, / d.
vide my speech into four branches"

of some seconds. My lords" the earl
then calculated, "if ever rise again

The coiorins Qualities Of Pepper.


Canaries when fed with cayenne pep
per gradually change their color, pass
ing from yellow to red. Cayenne pep
per contains tinctorial substance, an
Initiative principle and an OIL When
the last two substances are extracted
by sleeping in alcohol, pepper loses its
coloring properties, but an addition of
olive oil restores them. From this fact
the conclusion is drawn that the oily
principle of pepper is the necessary
vehicle of color Experiments made
with white hens gave similar results.
These hens have also the quality Of be-
ing able to indicate changes of tenn
perature by marked change of plum
age. The yolk of their egg is bright
