i WHERE JAMTOR IS AN AITOCRA1 r Costs Four Cents to Enter or Leave Apartments in Vienna After Forbidden Hours, 10 P. An American's home is his castle. So long as he does nothing to the annoy ance of his n-eighbor, repairs it to the satisfaction of the landlord and the > sanitary inspector, pays his water and other taxes, doesn't allow his chimney to catch on fire, shuts his windows at night and does not otherwise get into trouble with the police, he is master in his own house. l In Austria things are different. The I Viennese home is more like a jail than a castle. Vienna is the city of flats and the hausbesorger, or caretaker, is chief warder. Out of doors you may do 1 ' nearly everything you shouldn't. Revelers, overcom-e by the iced wine and hot air of the night places of entertainment, nearly all of which are underground and unventilated) may eafolir hail a r>s??<iinsr and give him their pocketbook and address and drop off into slumber with the comforting certainty that they will wake up the next morning in their own beds. Despite- the awesome sword which ) he carries in lieu of a truncheon, the Viennese policeman is a genial soul. He is the good fairy of the city. The | iausbesorger, however, is an evil spirit. He lives in a gloomy cavern - ^ a oi/N ^ ? -. o J r\nn *1 nnc 8.1 tile 1UUL U1 LUC SLdi) b auu on you every time you pass and tells you you mustn't. Kules That Puzzle Foreigner. * Though I have lived for several k , years in Vienna, I have never really mastered the house regulations, says t a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. After 10 o'clock a chill air - as of the tomb envelops the house. K Later than that you may not sing, J dance or play any musical instrument. I was once at a party tfhen one of the guests, not observing the late- j ness of the hour, volunteered to sing "Ora Pro Nobis." She had not gone much beyond the first bar when she ~ noticed that it only wanted one minute to 10. The speed with which she finished the song, put on her hat and coat, shook hands all around and was out in the street before the hour had I , finished striking was an object lesson from which I have not yet recovered. At no time may one shake one's tor rugs out of the front window, but beW tween the hours of 6 and 8 in the f morning one may beat them in the V courtyard. A visitor waking up with a start a little after 6, and wonder- . ing whether the thunder will give him a headache, fails to appreciate < the privilege. For about an hour the ] ?<? oct if Tirronnad in a carirl ctnr"Tl * 1 lO CIO Si. II X ^/VU iu M wvw* ? y > j everybody is in the courtyard hang-1; ing rugs.

Particularly well < I do I know this last regulation, for at ( i one time I was the proud possessor of ? a mastiff. In the first month of my \ f stay it rained on seventeen aays, ana r. 1 lost nearly fourteen pounds. My i medical attendant said I was not c 1 v physically strong enough "to own so ? large a dog. so, as my rooms were on t ^he fifth floor, I exchanged him for s a toy terrier. f The 10 O'clock and Other Laws.

I It is against the law for barrel or- c gans to play in the streets, but they t may, with the consent of the bausbe- u sorger, play in the courtyards. It is v advisable, therefore taking in your 2 residence, to make sure that your E ^Jeas of music coincide with that of 0 the housfresorger. ^ But of all the regulations tending e to vex the soul of a free-born Arneri- 2 can, is the one that directs that the n house door shall be closed every j night at lu o ciock. f or opeumg en.- n ft ter this hour the hausbesorger ex- d [| torts the sum of 4 cents. s B All theatrical performances are ^ B over between 9.30 and 9.45 to enable ^ BA'? audience to get home before the H^utocratic hausb-sorger slams the 0 Buter gate. It is no uncommon spec- t. BfcTe in a theatre to see stout citi- j ^Bns, whose time for the quarter mile h ^B well over fifteen minutes, nervous- n B nursing their 4 cents in white, gi Bnuckly fists. To see a corpulent, .< Banting figure beating frantically up- Q 1 on the iron gates, bewailing the loss of his 4 cents, is a sight to melt thr > heart of all but a Viennese hausbesorber. It takes 4 cents to malt his heart. Going for the Doctor. i Did this regulation only eff-:ct the laggard reveiler i snou;a nave notning to say. The man who wastes his time at picture palace or at an openair cafe listening to the band till past 10 o'clock g:ts no sympathy from me. But there are others. It is possible even for a citizen to go to bed at 9.30 and yet suffer from this regulation. It happened to me . I had b-en in bed for about an hour, when my landlady tapped on my door and informed me that her husband was ill. I said I was sorry and turned over on my other side. Ten minutes later she tapped again and ask ed m? if I had gone for the doctor yet. I said yes. I had just gone. Then I dressed and went downstairs. I awoke the hausbesorger and gave him 4 cents to let me out. Halfway down the street I suddenly remembered I had forgotten to ask the name of the doctor I was going for. So I went back and gave the man another 4 cents to let me in again. I climbed six weary flights of stairs and learned that the doctor's name was Saurkraut, and that he lived just arouLd the corner, l gave me nausbesor^er i^tfther 4 vents and was in the street again. It takes a mathematician to follow t!ii? story it cci.ts 4 certs to get into Dr. Sauerkraut's house, 4 cer. to get out again and 4 cents to obtain reaJmiftar.ee to my *>wn place, which comes to a quarter of a dollar. To play the good Samaritan in Vienna at 2;> c-'-nts a time is coo expensive for a poor-mar.

Its Spirit Belongs to All Nations and All Stages of Their Progress. E. J. Brailsford in London Quarterly Review. Although the definition has especially in view the brave deeds of the j civilized sons of Europe, the spirit of chivalry has shown itself in all na- 1 tions and in all races in all stages of 1 their progress. While the Crusaders 3 were endeavoring to wrench the holy : sepuicnre out or me nanas or xne oa- < racen whom they despised, Saladin t was sending his own physician to heal i Richard Coeur de Lion, his deadly 1 enemy, of his mysterious sickness. i There is probably no tribe of men t on the face of the earth which has < not some tradition of a brave and no- c ble action. It may not be* regarded I as at all extraordinary, and yet it 1 will be cherished and retold, and run t like a thread of gold through the r nemory of successive generations. In e ftyndrnan's "Records of an Adven- 1 :urous Life," recently published, c ;here is the story of such a deed R'hich is worth repeating. f "Tui Levuka, the chief of the island g )f Ovalau, was out in a big double t ;anoe, wnen a suaaen storm came uu h ind it capsized in a part known to b )e fested with sharks. Immediately .5 Tui Levuka and the crew were thrown t nto the water, the natives made a cir- r ile round their chief, joining hands c md keeping themselves afloat with n heir legs, while he swam about, in- f< lide the ring so formed, quite com- a ortably. e "A shriek and a groan and down joes one native.

'Another for w lector' was never replied to and act- s! :d upon under more grewsome cir- s< umstances, for the men left could p tear the swirl of the waters as sue essive comrades disappeared below ti h-e surface, and their blood washed k ip around the circle as they were de- f( oured. Finally after this hac. been ;oing on for some considerable time, aan after man going down in turn, th-er native canoes came up and jj ook Tui Levuka and his much-r^ducd band of followers on board. Only 7 out of the original number of 45 renamed." R With all these facts in view, we are pppssarilv compelled to abandon the efinition in the dictionaries and to _ eek for one which will recognize that ^ his noble manifestation of character ^ elongs to man as man. In a conventional s-ense the words a1 ~ * ?* ? v? ^ t tile American ouiniiitu aic juauj rue. "The age of chivalry has gone. w 'he age of humanity has come.

Wliy They Are Disappearing ic Kentncky. Louisville Courier-Journal. Men of the type of May, who was electrocuted a few days ago at :he Eddyville penitentiary, are disappearing from the mountains. Varying influences are responsible for their lisappearance. In the first place, :he mountain country is developing in nore ways than one, and "the old lome ain't what it used to be." Railroads have come into isolated localises and schools and churches have increased in number and usefulness. Inlustries follow railroads and the peo)le of the mountains are getting busy, rhe children are devoting themselves ,o gainful occupations. Time does lot hang as heavily on the mountainler's hands as it once did. Ke has ess leisure to devote to the pursuic ' if his personal enemies Immigration also is hiving its ef- ' ect. The mountain counties are ;rowing in population s.nd the new ilood that is being infused is not of a :ind to be stirred to the boiling point iy neighboring feuds and grudges. Iany of the bad men, too, have left J he country, for the country's good, ealizing that the feud, business has orne into disfavor, and that it is |3 .lore essential to have good reasons \ Dr shooting a neighbor than to have f x n alibi prepared in advance of the vent. Last, but not least, the mill of jusice is working in the mountains and le law-aibiding eiement is beginning d assert itself: The electrocution of Gen." May should have a deterrent 2 ifluence in x a country where shootig .has been so common in the past iiat some of the bad men, like May, ave looked upon it as a pastime. S [enceforth there will be less patience ith citizens who have a weakness fo'r hooting, and juries will be less lueamish about inflicting appro- j riate punishment. It will be a great day for the moun- ] tins when the bad men shall be u nown no more, and when feudal dif- 0 fences are forgotten. ? : f nT'crrfnic r t L'rr TTTl IL3ILB 3 UAOl riUUJL?

In 1876 the Red Men refused to go upon the reservation assigned them bv treaty, and a force of reeular troops was sent against them. Custer led the advance with the 7th Cavalry, some 700 strong. On June 25 his scouts discovered the Sioux encampment, and Custer, with his accustomed impetuosity, determined to attack them at once. Without waiting for the support of Gen. Terry, who was moving up the Big Horn to attack the red men from- the rear, Custer detached Col.
