AN AUSTRIAN CUSTOM.
How the Curious Law About Closing
Houses at Might Operates.


How the Curious Law About Closing
Houses at Might Operates.
One Of the oldest Of the Austrian
customs is the result of legislation. Ac-
cordlng to law, every house must be
closed from 10 o'clock at night until 8
o'clock the following morning. During
that time each house Is in charge Of an
attendant known as the "hausbesor-
ger,".or caretaker In large apartment
buildings this hausbesorger is usually a
uniformed porter. Every person enter
ing the house between 10 at night and
6 in the morning must pay to the haus-
besorger 20 hellers a cents.
This gives rise to n curious condition.
Naturally the man who comes home at
early hours need not necessarily pay
o. ng, while the man who habitual-
in at 2 OF 3 In the morning Is a
Int contributor to the hausbesor-
RS bank account. Inquiry OF the
hausbesorger concerning Mr.. A may
result In the startling information that
he is a most disreputable, mean sort OF
man, while the nighthawk Mr.. b viii
undoubtedly be lauded as a splendid
fellow Of excellent reputation. As
conservator of the public morals, there
fore, the hausbesorger can hardly be
called a success.-0utlook.

OLD ENGLISH LAWS.

A good exercise for broadening the
shoulders requires the person to place
his hands straight before him against a
door or wall, which he must face.
Stralghten out the arms and let the
palms Of both hands be spread out up
on the surface Of the door. Then slow
ly press the chest forward toward the
door This will cause the arms to bend
at the elbows, but at the same time
win throw back the shoulders. Rowing
will broaden the shoulders very per
ceptlbly. Exercises with dumbbells are
also good.

Could Not Be Confirmed
The demand continues to be fairly good
and rumor credits millers with having

that millers bought three quarters of a
