sPoILs OF AUSTRIAN COURT.
How They Are Divided Among the At.
tendants Upon ROYALTY.

Court etiquette in Austria is moro
stringent than in other European courts.
The attendants come in for large per-
quisiteS, as comestible articles are never
allowed to appear twice Oh the royal
tables. 1t must be a good thing to be
one of these attendants, as to one man
falls all the uncorked bottles, to another
the wine left in the glasses. and the
game. fish. and sweets are equally di-
vided in the same way.
Each morning market is held in the
basement of the palace, where the Wen
nese come to purchase the remains of
the banquet.
This custom is revival of one that
obtained great favor in the middle ages.
Then the great lords of the land were
not above accepting the remains of Il
feast and the lord chancellor was en-
titled to the ends of one large candle
and forty small ones each day.
He in his turn made capital of this
perQuiste and undoubtedly his eXcheQuer
was greatly increased by it at the end
of the year.--Tit-Bits.

REVIVAL OF OLD INNS.
Automobiles Have Given Old Taverns a
New Lease of Life.

When the railway superseded the dill

Your tourist, unless a sentimental jour-
meyer like Sterne or Stevenson, began to
leap by rail from spot to spot, like a
grasshopper upon map. He breakfast
ed in London, took train, iunched III
Brighton, New Haven or Dover, had
tea at Calais or Dieppe and supped in
Paris.
Now with dining cars he's even worse,
unless he be motorist-a sentimental
motorist. And despite speed and rumors
of speed, there are such things as senti-
mental motorists. Indeed, it is owing
very largely to this class that such of
the old inns of France and England as
managed to survive the introduction of
the railroads have blOssomed into re
newed prosperity and usefulness.-Trav-

BEST OIL FOR ROADS.
Results of a Test in Kansas-Oils Must
Contain Asphaltum

A recent test of oils for road making
in Kansas showed that the residuum
from the refinery was superior to any of
the crude oils, one gallon of the residuum
being equal to two to four of crude oil.
In order to determine the value Of
this material for road making, says
Country Life in America, a road bed
was prepared in sandy soil. After grad
ing it was ploughed four and half
inches deep and narrowed.
A harrow preceded and followed each
application of the residuum, which was
repeated until one gallon had been APP
piled to each square yard. The surface
was then smoothed and rolled.
After considerable use the surface of
the road became dusty and another APP
plication was made. Prof. Dickens re-
ports that the road is perfectly satisfac-
tory, being firm but not hard.
Another stretch of road treated in the
same way sustained loads weighing three
tons and more during wet weather with
out being damaged. Not even a break
in the surface crust occurred. Oils con
tanning less than 30 per cent of asphalt
UNI are not fit for road purposes.

Rules for Working Concrete.

+. Il. Crane of the University of Hi
nois gives the following directions for
making concrete:
When using gravel be sure that you
have a fairly clean material. \ small
trace of clay, say per cent, will not
injure your concrete.
When using gravel one should know
the proportion of sand and stone it con-
tains so as to estimate the amount of ce-
ment to use to given proportion OF
gravel We would suggest screening
some occasionally or until you are salts
fed as to the bed run.
OF cement. sand and crushed rock used
for making concrete there are four rec
ognized mixtures.
/. Rich mixture-Use ! part of Port
land cement, parts of clean coarse
sand. parts of crushed rock.
One and one-half barrels of the cement
will make / cubic yard of rich concrete
and is used for floors, fence posts, etc.
- Medium mixture-One part of Port
land cement, 21a parts of clean coarse
sand, and parts of crushed rock.
One and one-fourth barrels of cement
will make one cubic yard of ordinary con-
crete. This mixture is used in the con-
struction of walks. thin walls. etc.
3. Ordinary miXture-Use / part OF
cement. 3 parts of sand and parts Of
One and one-eighth barrels of cement
will make / cubic yards of ordinary CON
crete This mixture is used for con-
structiny heavy walls, piers, abutments
Lean mixture-One part of cement
narts of sand and s parts of crushed
rock. -.
Seven-eighths of a barrel of cement will
make | cubic yard of lean mixture. This
n1ixture is used for footings and in places
where volume and not great strength Is
needed.
when gravel is used the proportions
ore part of cement and from 6 to {
narts of gravel according to the amount
of sand in the sravel.

Strange Russian Band.

Probably the most extraordinary band
on earth is that which is stationed i'll the
imperial palace at Moscow.
A famous composer was recently taken
into darkened room to hear one of his
new compositions piayen by this band.
The composer was mystilied until the
lights were raised. when POO soldiers
were revealed, each with a horn or trum-
pet in his hand varying in SIZE from one
and one-half inches to twenty feet. Each
instrument and each performer produced
only single note, but the playing was
so perfect that the sound was just as if
from one grand instrument played upon
by a master hand.-Tit-B Bits.
