NOT DOOMED TO EXCLUSION.
Austrian Nuns of Noble Blood Lead
 Pleasant Lives.

The first lady" in the Austro-Hun- garian court is now the abbess of the Theresian Convent of the Noble La dies in Prague, position which is always held by an archduchess. The Archduchess Maria Annunciata, the present abbess, who is niece of the emperor, has succeeded to the position of first lady through the widowhood of the ATchduchess Maria Josefa, wife of the late Archduke Otto. The noble nuns Of Prague live a very different life from what is the usual conception of convent life. They play a leading part in the society of the city and are not even compelled to live in the ab- bey, where each is provided with two rooms and service. Handsome car riages with liveried servants are also provided for their use, and they have box in the opera. Each noble lady Is paid $500 a year, while the abbess has a salary of s10,000 When they attend court balls they must wear black evening dress with ribbon of light blue.

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morn ing with dull headache and tired, stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain indication that the liver, or bowels, or both, are decidedly out of order.
 At such times Nature, the wisest and best of doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old fam fly remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use for over a century
 They are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used when doctors were few and far be- tween, and when people had to have remedy that could absolutely be de- pended upon.
 Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon, and are sold in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

MEN STILL LIVE IN CAVES.
Trogiodytic Villages Are Found in
 Northern Africa.

GrotDOes and caverns are used more or less as shelters by primitive peo- ples and thus inhabited caves are of course most frequent in Africa A con siderable number of natives make their homes in caves along the south ern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar and in some of those caves are found the polished stones and arrow heads of the stone age. Troglodyte villages are frequent in the Tebessa territory of Algeria, one of which, at Djeurf 250 feet above the gorge of the Wadi Hallail, is reached by steps cut in the rock.
 s The inhabitants of the Tunsian Island of Galite are cave dwelers, their habitations being grottoes which they have dug out of the limestone, or ancient burial caverns that they have enlarged. The subterranean villages of Matmata and of Medennie, hewn out of the rock, are in southern Tunisia. A Christian monastery built under ground in the twelfth century still eX ists at Goba, Abyssinia. The enor- mous cavern discovered several years ago within two hours walk of the port of Tanga, in German East Africa, con- 4ains rooms the roofs of which are from 12O to 250 feet above the floor. Only a few of these vast chambers have yet been explored, for the entire cavern seems to be inhabited by mil lions of bats. One of these killed with stick mea SI1rpd nearly five feet across it's extended wings.

What e hisnns 60 Ride Second clnte s.

a deluslon of the euidebooks Is the
advice to ride second class on the rali-
roads Of Europe. Il IS often pointed
out that first class and second class are
frequently but divisions Of the same
car, and this makes a great Impression
On the inexperienced traveller, parucu-
Iarly II bis purse Is limited. Landing
at Plymouth. Southampton. Havre
Cherbourg. Liverpool, you are at once
conveyed to London or Paris on steam
er trains under the same excellent
conditions that have prevailed on your
trip, but thereafter you are at your
own resources, and If you are wise you
will not only travel first class, but you
will see to it that your seat Is always
engaged well ahead. II you travel sec
ond class between cities that CORE
spond to New York and Philadelphia,
say where intercourse is frequent and
numerous, you will most likely have
to stand up In all second class COM
partments. To get a second class seat
between Vienna and Budapest, for ex-
ample, is about like boarding train
for Coney Island at Brooklyn bridge on
a summer Sunday afternoon, and If
you do get seat somebody else sand
wiches and sausages on your lap.
Another point to be remembered is
that in Europe you cannot engage
whole sleeping compartment for your
self, as you can here. You have to
show ticket for each berth. There

After taking leave Of the premier
Verdi went to the station buffet and on
returning to his train forgot his hat.
This was an opportunity not to be lost
by two admirers of the musician. They
had been watching him long. and now
they simultaneously sprang for the
hat. Both reached 1t at once, one
seizing one side Of the brim and the
other the opposite. A lively combat
ensued, and the two swayed backward

very fact Of being present at an i'm

American is that during the entr'actes
the men who do not join the prom

spend the entire twenty or twenty five
minutes Inspecting their neighbors
