VIENNA STUDENTS RESTAURANT

Owing to the steady increase in the
cost of provisions of all kinds, one of
the most important institutions con-
nected with the University of Vienna is
threatened with extinction. The "Mensa
Academica," situated almost next door
to the university, is cheap restaurant
providing meals for students only,
literally at cost price. Austrian uni
versity students are terribly poor as a
rule, and the "Mensa Academica" is
wonderfully popular, some 1850 young
men dining and supping there every
day in term time. The meals are sim
pie but wholesome; there are no table
cloths and no superfluity of walters.
Every item on the bill of fare is marked
at a price only just sufficient to cover
the cost of raw material. Rent, wages
and all expenses of management
amounting to $4,000 kronen (nearly
$7500) are provided partly by subventon
from the university and by donations.
But now that the prices of meat fish,
vegetables, groceries, milk and almost
everything else in the way OF food and
are still rising, the committee of the
"Mensa Academica" are greatly con-
cerned at the outlook. 1t is impossible
to cut down the portions served and
equally impossible to raise the prices.
as the students have all they can do To
meet the expenses of living The re-
serve fund Of the institution is nearly
exhausted. and unless some charitable
people come to the rescue the "Mensa
Academies" will be shut up next term,
and hundreds of eager but poor coll
legians viii miss it's hospitable board
sorely.-Pall Mall Gazette.

SWARM OF OFFICE SEEKERS

Nearly one hundred seekers for
offices in this county, to be filled at me
next election, are already in the field.
number may be approximately that of
the gallant six hundred who made the
famous charge at Balaklava. Election
day is nearly three months distant but
convention time is almost in sight.
AS Republican aspirants consider a
nomination of their party in this
county equivalent to an election, the
buzzing of the busy hundred is sug-
gestive OF the swarming of a hive of
bees.
The old Democratic doctrine that "the
office should seek the man, not the man
the office" is something unknown to
the gallant hundred of Republicans
now tumbling into line for charge on
the nominations. 1t is noticeable in
glancing at the array as it was pre-
sented in Thursdays Herald, that
the most poles are pointed toward
the biggest and juiciest persim-
mons. The Office of sheriff, for in
stance, which carries only a moderate
salary but is said to pan out" nearly
or quite $4,000 a year, is the magnet
of attraction for eight Jealous Repub-
licans who are yearning for a chance
to pose as czar of the county jail, A
few dark horses" also are supposed to
be in training just outside the line
hoping to see an opening for the in
side before the final choice is made.
There is wealth of raw material from
which to make candidates for each
Office, even the judgeships not being
obliged to seek the man. The rather
grewsome job of coroner also finds
favor with many good Republicans to
whose names IN. D." is appended
there being five already in full tilt for
the nomination, and probably several
more who, like Barkis, are "willin'."
If only the hundred show up al
nominating time, however, there will
be at least three score of the number
to fall outside the breastworks." The
available offices are about that much
short of the number necessary to &c
round" among the present applicants
And so, when the mighty managers OF
the Republican machine decide to whom
they Will give the ohices. there is sure
to be. among the castout three score
weeping, wailing and gnashing Of
teeth"

You must either dash into or dash
out of Shakespeare country, for q
brief weekend will not allow you Ia
dash both ways. In three days, from
Friday morning to Sunday night you
should be able to bicycle from London
to Stratford -on-Avon, or vice versa,
and have time also to make gentle pill
srimages to the shrines of Warwick
shire.
Take train, as | did, on the outward
journey, and return by road. Then at
