a small Austrian village, not far westward from
Vienna, located on a delta formed by the con1u-
ence of lesser stream with the Danube, my at
tention was arrested while walking through the
settlement by a marble tablet, set in the brick
wall of a building, on one of the most important
street corners. l saw that the tablet bore an in
scrption but it was so high above the street that
could not distinguish it; so l asked who
kept a wine shop opposite what the tablet signi-
fed
ct was placed there said the rotund pub
lcan, to mark the height of the water of the
Danube at the great freshet of a certain year.

swept away

was not where the water The Baron Zwettei
gave us the beautiful tablet to mark the great
food and it put-there-where you see s.e

is where the flood was; but the wretched boys de-
faced il and threw mud at ii and made it mark

reach. Aha. They can not trouble it now
And, truly, the man did not seem to see any
incongruity in the affair.

forward to the fOotlights, and commencing a lee

the due impression might BE- made upon her hear

Hard Position.

In one of the Western towns where
there is a large per cent of foreign
population considerable difficulty was
experienced in getting the regiStra-
tion of alien women. An instructor in
the playground in the foreign district
offered her assistance, and in order to
gain Il better knowledge of the com
munity gave out printed slips TO the
children on which they were to write
their names, ages and places of birth,
and the same of their fathers and
mothers. She told all the Youngsters
explicitly that they must bring the pa
perS back with them in the afternoon.
When the children returned one
little fellow stood forlornly at the
gate. TO all invitations to enter he
shook his head stubbornly. One of the
assistants finally went to him. Come
