AUsTR1A's STATE SECRETS.
They Are Placed for Security In Iron
Rooms of House Built Ex-
prcssly for Them. $50 Z

The Austrian imperial archives have
been lately conveyed from the Hofburg
to the great house built for them adj
joining the foreign Office. They will
later on be opened for public inspec-
ton, from the most ancient documents
down to those of 1910, says the London
Telegraph. The rooms containing the
secret archives are of ironwork, each
story being completely separated from
the next one, SO that neither fire nor
water can penetrate. Hose supplying
abundance of water is fixed in every di-
rection, the windows can neither be
melted by fire nor destroyed by blows
and the ornamental ironwork before
each window can be unlocked in case
of emergency e
1t is remembered when Napoleon Bo-
naparte invaded Austria and estab-
lished himself at Schonbrunn with
what terrible haste the secret archives
were carried off to Buda-Pesth to the
,Ofen stronghold, these being the first
things secured when all else was left.

The theory that the necessity of ex-

Manifestly it does not obtain for

In cold climates, and especially in the
winter season, the theory has no ap-

APPALACHIAN MoUNTAINEERS.
Strange Beliefs and Customs Prao-
ticed Among These Simple
Minded People.

In his article on Our Appalachian
People," in Harper's Magazine, Julian
Ralph tells of the curious shyness Of
these people of the Cumberland moun-
tains and of their fear of anything
new and advanced.
"Incidents illustrative of some of
these traits are the following" he
says: "a man living on 'Hell-for-sar-
tain, creek refused to allow his sick
baby to be taken to hospital at Berea
college, because he argued, If she's
a-goin' to live, she'll git well, anyhow,
1 reckon, and don't guess, if she's
a-goin' to die, nothin' we kin do won't
save her. Again, a man on Bullskin
creek, in explaining why his child died,
said that no one couldn't make her
take no medicine. She just wouldn't
take it. She was Baker through and

the figure of woman on sheet of

with an oval the place where her heart
would be. He pinned the paper on the
wall of his log cabin, melted silver

his rifle, aimed at the drawing and shot
the bullet through the oval. He be-

patton for Those who

Summer travel, the sojourn by
mountain or seaside, the happy month

says Youths Companion. The trolley
has brought even jewellers in the city

the last few years suggest many and

with camera in hand, need not miss
the thrill of the hunter in forest wilds.
The exploring adventurer who, after

Then, too, there is the delight of es-

Chinese Fish Farming

Those ever-ingenious people, the Chi
nese, are great at fish farming, and one
of their little lodges for Matching young
fish is most ingenious. Taking fresh
egg, they suck the contents through a
tiny hole and refill the egg with tiny
eggs of the fish they want to hatch. aThe
hole is then sealed up and the egg placed
under a sittinghen. In a very few days
the fish ova are SO far advanced that one
has only to break the shell into mod
erately warm water and the little fish
spring to life at once.

TALE OF A TERRIBLE FEuD.
There Was a Fine Chance for a Mi1.
Up, But the Principals Were
Not Scrappers.

The following outline of a novelette,,
taken from THE Handbook of Plots;
or, Every Man His Own Novelist" is
said to be founded on fact, writes Eli
lott Flower, in Brooklyn Eagle.
The first young man had married the
first young woman, and all society said
it was great match.
II.
The first young man introduced the
second young man (his friend) to the
first young woman CHS wife), and they
were most gracious, each to the other.
1t was even noticed by mutual friends
and commented on by them.
The comments came to the ears Of
the first young man, and he said: "Aha!
watch my smoked" or something of
similar import. The public said:
"Oho! Look out for fun!" and there
was a scandal of large proportions.
~.
The first young man, after making
sundry and divers threats, felt it in
cumbent upon himself to do some-
thing, SO he indited challenge to the
second young man, which was totally
/ ignored by the aforesaid second young
man, who held that if any fighting
were to be done it should have been
done several months before. There
was some talk about honor, and the
public wondered what had to do with
the case.
TIE first young man posted tho
second young man as coward, and
the second young man retorted

the affair had gone far enough and
that there would be trouble the first
time they met. The first young man
had no right to demand PREPARATION, the
account being outlawed by statutory
limitations, but he could have trouble
If he wanted it..

The first young man retorted in kind,
announcing that he could be found in
the reading room of the club whenever
| wanted.
The second young man went to the
reading room of the club, although
warned that the first young man was
there, and the club members waited
breathlessly for the outcome.

room together and alone, and the club
members and all others appraised Of the
fact continued to wait breathlessly for
4 the outcome.
One Of the young men finally saun-
tered out, and in reply to anxious
queries, said: "Why, deah boy, of
course I didn't speak to the cad, ye
know"
The other young man came out and
said: "The fellah was beneath my no.
tice. didn't say word to him, don't

TOO MANY SAINTS.
How a Tobacco Planter in Cuba Out
witted the Priest Who MINI
ill., istered to His Hands.

II ran a tobacco plantation in
Cuba for couple of years." said a
guest of one of Detroit's hotels the
other evening, says the Free Press,
'and at the outset met with the same
difficulty every other manager had
for the last 200 years. About three
times week was saints day for all
hands, and they'd knock off work to
hang around the villages. It was no
good to coax OF threaten. simply
had to take it out in cussing them.
When first took hold was waited
upon by priest, who wanted to
know what sum l would pay over to
him monthly for the benefit of the
souls of my people. He had the
flock in charge, and it was custom
airy at all plantations to pay regu-
lar stipend, but when the men began
to keep saints day 1 went to the
priest and complained of the inter-
ruptions.
"'Senor, it is the custom and can
not be changed he replied. If my
people did not respect the saints
what would become of their souls?'
II said no more, but when the Sec
ond monthly pay day came around
was loaded for the occasion. The
priest was on hand for his stipend,
as was every hand for his wages, but
gave out that no one would be paid.
Great excitement followed, and pref
ty soon the priest came to the office
to ask why the money was withheld.
"'It is ST. Johns day and 1 am not
working, I replied. I also have
saints to look out for, as forgot to
tell YOU
"'But you will pay tomorrow
Tomorrow is St. Thomas day.
"'And the day after?'
".Is st. David's day.
"He looked blank for minute,
and then said:
"'Senor, there seems to be more
saints than money. Can't we spare
few of the former?
Half an hour later I had knocked
out all the saints in my calendar, and
he had let go SO many of his that
they came in only on Sundays, and
after. that we had no furthe,
trouble"

"Where is the letter." said Cecilia,
rising, tall and white and wraithlike
beside the bed
"Wife, give her the letter." groaned
the sick man.
Mrs. Crum found the yellowed sheet
of paper and put it in Cecilia's hand.
She opened the letter and read:
"Dear Cecilia:

All, il she had known this five years
ago. She leaned back in her carriage
and tears fell silently upon her cheek.
That evening Cecilia went to the
cemetery. The graves were decorated
and the crowd had gone home. How
mournfully peaceful it was to be in
this blossom-scented atmosphere. She
stepped from beyond the shade to lay
beautiful wreath of white roses upon
Col. Hurlburt's grave and saw a
stranger bend over and place a mass
of violets at the head. She silently
placed the wreath at his feet. tl
When she looked up she saw Paul

emotion sat upon her fair cheek; she
was prepared to laugh with him at
the folly of their youth.
He read the letter and turning
asked: ''What shall the answer be?"
then clasped both her white hands and
read the answer in her eyes.
