I A‘Hosnoa OF THE HAPSBURGS.
_——-—I .
I How the Fairest of Au'stl la’s Women Dld
Penance in a. Dungeon.
The house of Hapsburg seems to be
as peculiarly unfortunate now as it.
was once successful in those intrigues
whereby the Counts of Hapsburg be-
came the Dukes and later the Emper-
ors of Austria.
It was by murder, treason, treach-
ery and perfidy of every known kind.
that the Dukes of Austria took on the
title of kings, and finally became the
inheritors and the representatives of
the Roman Empire. And in this rec-
ord the women of the Hapsburg fam-
ily played a. romantic part and not. un-
‘frequently that of a. Jezebel or a. Messa-
lina. We need not go further back
than the time of Maria Theresa. Her
character as a Queen-Empress is well
known, but her character as a mother
is not, yet it was indicated from the
following cruel incident. Her daugh-
ters were as unfortunate as they were
fair, and that they were fair to the
point of enchantment goes without
saying. Burke has left on record 1n
immortal words the impressions which
one glance at the divine face of Maria
Antoinette left upon his mind. But
more fair and more beautiful still was
Maria Antoinette’s sister, the Arch
Duchess Maria. Josepha. The Emper-
or idolized her and the imperious Em-
Dress-Queen herself who had little
time or inclination for lavishing car-
esses upon the six fair daughters 'which
she had borne to Francis of Lorraine,
regarded Maria Josepha with a sweet
and peculiar indulgence. At sixteen
this ill-fated princess was a girl of
ravishing beauty, with hair of golden
auburn, with the face of a. Psyche,
with a sinewy form, a peculiar, even
angelic sweetness of disposition and
exquisite manners. Just as she had
turned her sixteenth year the Emperor
Francis died, and while she was en-
gaged to Ferdinand II. of Naples.
The engagement was one that
brought pride and joy to Maria-Ther-
esa’s heart. It was an alliance which
extended the influence of the ,Haps-
burgs in that southerly direction
which has been the perpetual dream of
the house. The marriage treaty was
signed and the betrothal of this be-
witching bride took place August 8,
1767. The Court of the Hapsburgs put
aside the mourning that it had as-
sumed because of the Emperor’s death.
The Empress herself was radiant’ with
smiles. Fetes and balls and a series
of the most brilliant entertainments
followed in rapid succession, in which
the Empress widow herself freely par-
ticipated. But suddenly the Arch-
festivities. Day by day that face, the
duchess in whose honor all these fetes
were held began to grow sad and mel- ’
ancholy. She was the one perSon who
shrank from the gayety of the court
beauty of which had formerly lighted
up the court became more gloomy and
depressed. From the air of sadness it
Finally Maria-Theresa seemed to
take offense at her daughter’s d‘espon-
_.dency. She did not press the Arch-
duchess to her heart nor. look into
' her once fair but now lifeless eyes the
sweet and kindly smile of a. mother.
But on the contrary, the royal mother
ordered ,3 the Archduchess to repair
alone to the vault in which her dead
father lay, and there kneeling by his
coffin to pray for the repose of his
soul. The Archduchess regarded this
as the last and most dreadful blow.
She entreated her mother to save her
such'an ordeal. Maria-Theresa, how-
ever, was little moved to pity and as
.little used to brook opposition in any-
thing; and least. of all would she tol-
erate it in a matter where she ap-
peared to have a mysterious personal
Interest. She, therefore, refused to
listen to her daughter’s pleading and
ln-sisted upon her orders being obeyed
to the letter. The Archduchess was
not ignorant of the motive which ac-
tuated her mother but she dared not
disobey.
“I am going down to my tomb,"
whispered the Archduchess in the ear
of one of her maids of honor, as she
proceeded to carry out the injunction
laid upon her. The Archduchess now
descended unattended and alone into
the vault, where shortly before the re-
mains of one of the princesses of the
House of Hapsburg,'Maria. Josephine,
wife of the King of Saxony, had been
lnterred beside that of Francis of
Lorraine. The Queen of Saxony had
died of smallpox. To send the Arch-
duchess to pray in such a place was
virtually to pass sentence of death up-
on her. Accordingly upon the day fol-
lowing the Archduchess herself took
ill of smallpox. Maria-Theresa order-
ed masses to be celebrated in all the
churches of Vienna for the recovery of
the Archduchess. But as the coffin
that contained the remains of the
Queen of Saxony had been pried par-
tially open there was no chance for
Josepha to escape the catching and
terrible disease. She died upon the
very day fixed for herself and King
Ferdinand to leave Vienna for Naples.
There was weeping at the Court of
Vienna in consequence but the eyes of
the empress-queen were dry. No
motherly instinct of grief overcame
the fierce fires of jealousy that blazed
in her queenly heart, Maria-Theresa
never gave the slightest proof of re-
morse, and after the court of the Haps-
burgs had solemnly gone into mourn-
ing for the young Penelope whom the
head of the House of Hapsburg had
placed in the path of death, Maria-
Theresa secured the Neapolitan al-
liance for her next daughter, the Arch-
duchess Caroline. Not a breath of sus-
picion was aroused. Not a murmur of
protest. arose. Not one cringing cour-
tier dared to give utterance to the '
stifled feelings which he entertained.
But one sad and stricken Soul sigh-
ed and sobbed in the secrecy of her
chamber amid all the sins and revelry
of that putrescent Court. One break.
It was
that of the faithful maid of honor into
whose ear the Archduchess had whis-
nored, “I am going. doWn to my tomb."

CHINESE BABIES.
From the Day 0 f ‘Birth They Are Dresl
in Coat and Trousers.
World over, but in China especially
they are surnounded with a'host of
mysterious superstitions and prac-
tices.
They are very comical to look at,
these children of the Celestials; from
the day they‘are born they are put into
a little coat and trousers, with a Wee
cap to keep the head warm, and little:
shoes on their feet. In fact, they are
the exact counterpart of their parents
in miniature.
A child is not bathed till the third
day; it is not considered lucky to do
so before. When this has been done
charms, consisting of lucky cash
(smallest coin) and Small silver toys,
are attached by red cord to the child’s
wrists and worn for many months.
This is to keep away all evil spirits.
characters written on them, are also
nailed up outside the door of baby’s
room, to ward'off all evil influences.
These strips are kept up until after
the eleventh day, and it is usual for
no stranger to enter until they have
been‘ removed. ,_
The child generally leaves the room
at the end of the month, and on that
day the head is Shaved for the first
time. __
Very often a small patch is left at
the crown of the head and the hair
platted into a stiff little queue, which
stands out straight from the head
through a little hole in the cap.
If it is a little girl, her head is often
not shaved, but her hair plaited into
two plaits above her ears. Red cord
is plaited in with the hair as a charm
for spirits cannot face red—hence ba-
by’s red clothes.—Ladies’ Pictorial.

Natural Envy.
“It makes me indignant,” said one
Madrid citizen, “every time I think
of that free silver discussion in the
United States.”
“But it didn’t affect you in any
way,” replied another.
“I know it. But think of a coun-
try’s being rich enough to worry over
what particular kind of money it shall
use.”-—Washington Star. .
‘ .. Cheap Ministers.
Aunt Derby—I do declare, the folks
in this congregation ought to be
ashamed of themselves. ‘
Aunt Hannah—Yes, indeed. I’m as
economizin’ as anybody in some
things-but I don’t think churches
ought to go around .shoppin’ to get
.cheap ministers—New York World.
Unappreciated.
“Our nation,” the orator rehearsed
befort the mirror, “went forth with
bread in one hand and the sword in
the other”—

interrupted him to ask; "a woman
would have taken a breadknife.”'——In-

PERSONAL NOTES.
Miss Lillian Small, though not yet
21 years old, holds the post of govern-
ment marine observer on a promontory
of Cape Cod. Her duty is to watch
the passing ships through a telescope
and take notes of their flags and
names. The information thus gained
has to be telegraphed every half hour
to the Chamber of Commerce in Bos-
ton. Miss Small began her work as
her father’s assistant. ‘
Miss Helen Gould was asked to join
the Daughters of the Revolution, be-
ing eligible on her mother’s side. She
declined on the ground that she was
already connected with a vast num-
ber of clubs and guilds. She said:
“I must try to show my patriotism in
some other way.” One of her other
Ways has been distributing 50,000 cop-
ies of our national hymn, “America,"
among school children, each copy en-
graved with a picture of the author of
the song, Dr. Samuel F. Smith.
Miss Clara _J. Fisher is said to be
the first womanever chosen to act as
an arbitrator in a labor dispute in
this country by a regularly constituted
state board of arbitration. Miss Fish-
er was employed as overseer for nine
years with the B. H. Spaulding Com-
pany at Milford, Mass. Two years
ago she left them, but when a strike
broke out recently over the question
what number of yards of straw sewed
should constitute the unit of payment,
Miss Fisher was chosen by her for-
mer fellow cmployes as their repre-
sentative. Together with a man cho-
sen by the state board to represent
the Spanlding company,
similar-mills in the neighborhood, and
in two weeks the report was ready,
which furnished the basis of a satis-
factory agreement.
Two flags mark the grave of Miss
Dorothea Dix in the Mt. Auburn cemc~
tery near Boston. A writer in the
Boston Transcript recalls that at the
close of the civil war, when all through
ed as superintendent of women nurses,
Miss Dix accepted from the Govern-
ment “3 stand of arms of the Unite-1
States colors.” When Mr. Stanton
asked her how. it would be most agree-
able to her to have her services ofli-
cially recognized, by a great public’
meeting or a vote of money from Con-
gress, she declined to have either, and
expressed a desire for “thepflag-of my-
country,” thinking no notice would be
taken of the request; but a beautiful
pair of the national colors were spec-
ially made for her. She bequeathed
them to Harvard College and they
now hang in Memorial Hall. ~
