Quite recently the first claes cruis-

x4Nrs FOR LINERS.
There are no laundries on board
ship; they take up too much room.
. So the chief steward lays in thou-
sands of pillow -slips, sheets, and
1towe1s. These come on board tied
up in bales of a dozen each, and are
stored in the linen locker, a. cubby-
hole of it plaeo on the main deck.
The ventilator pipes from the en-
gine -room run through it and keep
it hot. Tbere is no danger of linen
getting mildewed there. The linen
which has been used is thrown into
another room, provided with the
same atmosphere, and is so kept
thoroughly dry. Where there are
clean napkins epery day, frequent
changes of state -room linen, and an
everlasting replenishing of towel
racks, the demands upon the line
locker are very extensive. A liner
like the Campania puts to sea, with
about 9,000 serviettes, 10,000 tow-
els, -6.000 or 7,000 sheets, 8,000 pil-
low -slips. and about 1,000 table-
cloths. Most of these find their way
to the soiled linen locker in the
course of the voyage. When the ves-
sel arrives they are carted off to a
laundry.

There is a flavor of mystery at-

Something of the same spirit pro-

make what haste I can to be gone."
And so he died.

LICENSES FOR BOOKSELLERS.
I1 sounds like the "good old
times" of the newspaper tax and
other drawbacks to popular educa-
tion to read that a license is re-
quired to poen a. bookseller's shop,
yet this is actually the case in Aus-
tria. The authorities are evidently
afraid that if the people read they
will insist on takixig a larger &sore
in their own government, so all ob-
stacles are thrown in the way of
public enlightenment front the peru-
s.-..1 of hooks and papers. There is
a suburb of Vienna with 120;000 in-
lia.bitants, and a Man of good char-
acter recently applied for a. license
to open a bookseller's shop ; the
authorities refused it, alleging that
there was not sufficient demand in.
the suburb,and that the public in-
terests would not be served. theiieby.
Yet there is no such shop in the
district. Vienna, is one of the most
illiterate cities in Europe. It has a
few newspapers', but very few books
are published there, and no Austrian
author of . any repute is to be fouild.
