The YuIetif'e in Austria.

Yuletide. as kept by the non German
population of Austria. is very pictur-
esque. On Christmas day the Poles in
GaIicia first attend mass, and then sit
down to the family supper. The chief
dish on the table contains consecrated
eggs, which the father distributes
After eating, all eyes are closed and all
heads bowed down to the table, in the
belief that Jacobs ladder is then de-
scending from heaven to earth, and
down the ladder the angels are coming
to bless the worshipers and to carry
away their earthly troubles to heaven.
Among the Czechs the legend runs
that he who most strictly fasts on
Christmas eve will see the Holy Child
in his dreams that night. In the even
ing the real celebration begins. All
lights are then extinguished in the
house; no fire, no light Is visible. The
children crowd together in fear and re-
main perfectly silent, as otherwise
they know they will receive none of the
presents brought by the Christ Child
and laid at the entrance of the house.

There are some women who seem to be
perennially youthful. The grown daughters
are companions as well children, and the
color in the mothers cheeks, the brightness
in her eyes, the roundness of her form, all
speak Of abounding health. What is her
secret? She is at the middle age of life when
so many women are worn, wasted and fad

charms. The secret of this matronly health

New Record Made on C, E. O.

Pulling heavy through passenger
train for six miles, without any fire
beneath the boiler was the record that
was made by Engineer Richardson on
a G & o. train recently.
Mr.. Richardson was in charge Of the
engine pulling No. 3 and throughout
the trip had trouble with his inj actors,
and finally, after passing Barboursville
both of them refused to act, and no
water could be gotten into the boiler.
After attempting to remedy the defect.
but without success, Richardson had
the fireman pull the fires beneath the
boiler and from Wilson's switch to
Huntington the engine pulled the heavy
train under the steam that was in the
boiler at that time, no fire being under
the boilers the entire distance.
The power of the monster locomo-
tive was just about exhausted when
the train was finally pulled into Hunt

Electricity on Railroads.

The railroad locomotive will be a
thing of the past within two or three
generations, If the experiments with
electricity upon railroads prove sue
cessful. A writer in the Philadelphia
Inquirer says: "Flve years ago com
mission of expert railway men and
electrical engineers carefully consider
ed the question of using electrical
power on railways. and it was general
ly agreed that for the time no such
change could be made. Since then
there have been new inventions and
discoveries and new engineering pro-
cesses, and the application of electric
ity to limited extent on the present
steam roads is practically an accom-
plished fact. The entire Long Island
railway is to adopt electrical power,
and the New York Central will use
the motive force for thirty miles north
of it's New York terminals. The Penn
sylvania will install it exclusively on
its new tunnel lines into New York.

Up-To Date Surgery.

Modern day surgery, apparently,
has no limitations. Recent expert
ments indicate that not only physical
but mental diseases can be corrected
by its use. A writer in the Boston
Transcript, referring to The use OF sur
gerry to cure mental illness, gives this
interesting instance ''The story is
told of Jesse Beard, a lad Is years of
age, who manifested violent temper
aud criminal propenslties. He was
dlsobedient to his parents, and detest-
ed the discipline and instruction OF
the schools. He ran away from homo

kill his mother and sister. lie showed
tendencies somewhat similar to those
that gave Jesse Pomeroy his unique
nQtoTiety hut fortunately science
took him in hand before those tend
encies had expressed themselves to the
same deplorable extent. Finally he
was brought by bis parents before the
juvenile court as an incorrigible. The
chief probation officer was a woman,
and very likely mother. Atany rate
she took an interest In what seemed a |
desperate and hopeless case. and had |
the boy taken before an expert for ex-

the fact that when years old he had |

FOOLS SETTING HENS.

hen begins to show signs of uneasiness
and stirs the noisy egg around with her
bill, thinking perhaps, that it is al
ready time for it to hatch and there is
a chicken in it wanting to get out. She
grows more and more nervous as the
noise keeps up, and soon jumps off the
nest and runs around awhile to cool
off but returns again to her self-impos.

The Manassas Manoeuvres.

The representatives OF the War De-
partment are having a hard time with
the farmers in the neighborhoOd of Ma
nassas, where the next summers joint
militia and regular army maneuvres Will
he held. The law officers are engaged
ON form of lease which will be used in
the transaction between the government
and the land owners whose property Is
likely to be invaded by the visiting sol
diery in their mock engagements or as
camping ground. The difficulty is Gre
ated by the determination of the farmers
to be insured against the loss OF fruit
and poultry. Some of them have had
exnerience with the trooper in the field,
and are inclined to believe that they
must be protected against the invasion
of the farmyard and the orchard.
The leases will make no reference
to such reimbursement. Provision will
be made. however, for the settle
ment of damages to crops n fences.
It has been found that the movements OF
troops through farming country must
not be hampered by the needs of agri-
culture, and mock battle cannot be
lost to the strategists by consideration of
the fate of some cornfeld, When the
invasion destroys the product of the soil
and represents a farmers work of the
season. the government will pay him for
the loss. The same thing will occur
when fences are DESTROYED. In such cases
the department will detail board OF
officers to estimate the damages and draw
on the militia appropriation for the re-
endorsement of the farmer. All this Is
included in the new leases which are be-
ing drawn up, but it is specified that
nothing will be allowed for the apples
which are plucked or for the chickens
which disappear. The military authori-
ties, however, will exercise all possible
restrictions on their men to keep them
from such pilfering. The War Depart
ment officials say that farmers of Man
assas need have no fear of suffering any
loss from the presence of the troops IL
their neighborhood. The community
will prosper in many ways as a result o
the use of the locality for military pur
poses.
