In Austria a woman, no matter what
she may do, is never regarded or treated
(pita as a criminal. She may rob, burn,
kill -set every law at defiance, in foot,
and break all the commandments in turn
-without fear of ever being called upon
to face a gallows. She is not even sent
to an ordinary prison to do penance for
her sins; the hardest fate that can befall
her, indeed, is to be compelled to take up
her abode for a time in a convent. Tho
convent to which Vienna sends its erring
sisters is at Neudo>,f, only a few miles
away from the city. The convent itself is
-a fine old building which once upon a
time was a castle, and seems to have been
strongly f/ortifled. ' The religious com-
munity to which it now belongs received
it as a present frau its owner, who cared
more for the church than for his heir.
There is nothing in the appearance Of
the place to show that it is a prison; the,
.court -yard stands open the whole day
long and there is never a guard within
sight. The doorkeeper is a pretty little
nun whom a strong woman could easily
pick up in her arms and run away with.
The Superior is a handsome old lady
with keen, penetrating eyes, a firm
mouth, and an expression that is at once
kindly and -oddly enough, considering
she is a nun -humorous. She has a gen-
tle courtesy of planner that is singularly
attractive; she has, too, that most excel-
lent thing in woman, a low, sweet voice.
Judging by the stately grace with which
she wears her long cream -white robes,
her early days were more probably passed
at Hofburg than in a convent. The fact
of her being a great lady, however, doos
not prevent her being a clear-headed bus-
iness woman. She has at her finger -ends
all the details of the workings of the
institution under her control, and not a
spoon is moved there without her know-
ing tho whys and wherefores of its mov-
ing. She is evidently heart and soul in
her work, and keenly interested in every-
thing that concerns her charges. She
knows all the cireunistances of their
cases, and cleats with each of them indi-
vidually, bringing good influences to
arouse in theist a sense of self-respect.
The Superior led the, way into a large
cheerful -looking room iu which some
fifty women were sitting working. Per-
haps half a dozen of then] were making
rnatehboxes'or buttons; and the others
were doing line needlework. beautiful
ernbroidory. lace and wool work, under
the guidance qt. a sister wino looked for
all the world as if sho had stepped
straight out of one of Peri. Angelico's pie-
tures.
iatures. She passes her life going about
among these women distributing to each
in turn directions, encouragement, or
reproof, as the ease may be, always with
a smile on her lips -one, though, in
which there is more patient, endurance
than gladness. Another sister, a woman
with a strong, sphinxlike face, was sit-
ting at the further end of the room, on a
raised platform. She is there to maintain
discipline and guard against those out-
bursts of temper whish, from time to
time disturb the harmony of life in this
convent. As we entered the morn all the
women rose and greeted us, in the most
cheery fashion, with what sounded like a
couplet from an old chant. They speed-
ily took up their work again, however,
at a sign from the Superior.
Tho Superior gave us ono of her odd,
humorous smiles. "I)id you notice that
woman in the corridor?" she asked. "She
is Marie Schneider." That insignificant
looking little woman, who had stood
aside with a gentle depreciative smile to
allow tis to pass, Marie Schneider! Why,
in any other place, one would have said
Marie Schneider, a European celebrity,
With mole murders on her conseicnee
than she has fingers on her hands would
hang! "And you let her stay here?"
"We have nowhere else to put her," the
Inspector, who had joined its, replied;
"and we don't hang woonen in Austria."
Nor is she, as we soon found, the only
notoriety in the place. •One of the pris-
oners is a delieate-looking girl with
largo browrf cyes and golden hair --a
type of beauty almost peculiar to Aus-
trians, She has a low, eooing voles, and
a singularly sweet, innocent expression.

A Now Artiele'of Diet.
The Hamilton Times tells of a new
factory that bas just been put into
operation in Kokomo, Ind., 'for the
manufacture of butter from peanuts.
For a year or more Lane Brothers, of
that city, have been working -on a
process of malting butter from the
peanuts to compete with the prodnet
of the farm cow, and have succeeded
in producing the desired article. At
the present price of the nuts the
butter can be. sold at. fifteen cents
per pound. • The process of mann.

the hulls are removed, are carefully -
