MEMOIRS OF PRINCE -METTERNICH Edited
by PRINCE RICHARD METTERNICH; translated by
Mrs ALEXANDER NAPIER. New York: Charles
ScrtbnerS Sons. Washington: Robert Bcall.
The interest which the publication of
the irSt and second volumes of these Memoirs ex-
cited was such as to cause eager anticipation for
the continuation of the information of the re-
markable diplomat whose name was a power
in Europe for so many years, and to whose
astuteness and brainy cunning Austria owed
her recognition as power of the first mag
nitude. Never was country or monarch
served with greater fidelity than the great chancel
lor yielded to the Emperor Francis and to his be-
loved Austria and the present condition of the
government he strove so earnestly TO uphold is q
startling commentary upon the results of his
mighty and indefatigable lsbors. When Meter
mich passed from the political stagehe supposed he
had settled the status of Austria for a century
at least; but now at time leSs even than halt
that period, she is shut out from the German con-
federation, which has become an overshadowing
empire, ruled over by Prussan prince, whose
authority makes the Austrian second rate;
she has been compelled to yield to Hungary
certain autonomy: she has been
stripped of her Italian dependencies, and has
been defeated in war with Prussia and in one
with France and Italy. The first twa volumes of
these Memoirs brought the history of Europe down
to the complete overthrow of Napoleon and the
restoration of the Bourbons to the throne of
France. The two now before US continue
the narration to the Peace of Adrisnopie
in 1929, and the history of the I'M
portant events during that period IS drawn from
the private correspondence of Prince MetternIch,
which is very copious and interesting. and, being
addressed to members of his family or TO intimate
friends, is less formal than the photographed
form of the former volumes. In these letters his
personal habits and his character as husband, a
father, and a member of society are revealed, and
the personal narrative of this remarkable man will
be found of great interest as well the historic
events, his treatment of which form the principal
objects of the publication.

this trip we fell in with Walters, whom
Hillmar hired to work on a ranch.
Hillman said that Walters would make
a good body for the insurance compa-
MES. | told him the body was not like
his, and that it would not do, and |
also protested against the taking of
Walters life, as murder was not part
of our agreement. Hillman liked the
idea, however, and pains were taken
that not more than two of us should be
seen around the wagon, one of us al
ways inside
Hillman had been vacclnated before
we left on this trip, and one day he adj
vised Walters to get vaccinated, as
there would be danger of smallpox in
| the region where we were going.
Walters consented and Hillman vacci-
mated him with penknife, taking the
matter from his own arm. This was
relied upon to help establish the iden-
| tity of Walters as Hillman. Hillman
also traded off his clothes with Walters.
He gave Walters a lot Of Undertaking
and then traded his outside garments

he said, had told him that if he would
make it, and if Mrs. Hillman would
deliver the policies, he would be per-
mtted to go free. Mrs. Hillman did
surrender the policies and confessed
that she knew her husband was alive.
The Baldwins, Mrs. Hillman aud

trace of them has been found. Hill

since then, and he is known to be in

A SneeZing Scene.

Probably one of the meanest stage
tricks that was ever played was played
on Mary Anderson. 1t will be remem-
bered that ia the play Of "Ingomar"
Parthenia and the barbarian have sew.
eral love scenes, where they lop on
each other and hug some-that is, not
too much hugging, but just hugging
enough. lngomar wears q huge fur
garment, made of lions skin, or some
thing. One day he noticed that the
moths were getting into it, and he told
his servant to see about the moths, and
drive them out The servant got some
insect powder and blowed the hair of
the garment full of it, and scrubbed
the inside of it with benzine. Ingomar
put it on Just before he went on the
stage, and thought it didn't smell Just
right, but he had no time to inquire
into it. He had not got fairly in his
position before Parthenia came out on
n hop, skip and jump, and threw her
self all over him. She got one lung
full of insect powder and the other full
of benzine, and as she said "Wilt al
ways love me, lngomarY she dropped
iiei hSdu oNCl hiS suoufdet hii oaiu III
an aside: "For the love of heaven,
what have you been drinking and
then she sneezed n couple of times.
Ingomar held her up the best he could,
considering that his nose was full Of
insect powder, and he answered, 81
will" and then he said to her quietly
"Damtino what it is that smells 50"
They went on with the play between
sneezes, and when the curtain went
down she told Ingomar to 90 out and
shake himself, and he did. 1t was no.
ticed in the next act that lngomar had
n linen duster on, and Mary snCze no
more.

Witchcra1t at Rochester.

A rather curious belief in the super
stition that Characterised the middle
ages has just come to light in this city
Belief in witchcraft has not yet, al
some may think, become a thing of the
far-distant past; in fact, quite frequent
ly physicians meet with it in their prac.
tice. Especially are the remnants o.
this superstition found am ong Germans
of that type who were old enough OF
immigratiDg to preserve the legends
ard traditions of the fatherland. But
without entering into a discussion on
cause and effect, let the story be told
In the fourteenth ward there lives a
young couple whose married life has
recently been blest by the advent of a
child. The child is not a healthy one,
and when the regular physician was
summoned to attend it, he pronounced
the disease to be marasmus. Not sat
isfed with the counsel of the physician,
the family employed one of those who
cure by sympathy, laying of hands, etc.
This man said the child was bewitched,
and the parents believed it. The only
question then was, Who was guilty of
the wtchery? The man said he could
tell The first woman who entered
the house, he said, after performing
his incantations, was the witch. She
must come, he said-she would be
driven to it; she would have a burning
desire to come Shortly afterward a
woman did come into the house, and
her first inquiry was about the welfare
of the child. Immediately the woman
was pronounced the witch. 1t is said
that the parents of the sick child then
engaged the services of woman who
is well known in the sympathetic line,
and she also pronounced the case one
of witchery. Naturally the woman
who had been pronounced a witch has
been placed in very unenviable light,
the more so on account of the preva-
lence of the superstition in the neigh
borhood. The public will know VIII
she is at once when informed that she
is the same old woman who goes about
the streets and stores selling apples and
pears. She herself has not been inter
viewed in the matter and her feelings
therefore can not be described. -Rtch-

made the ascent of Castle Peak, which
is little over 5000 feet high. They
took with them cat-Thomas-that
was year old, and had lived a. an al
titude of 5000 feet with no symptoms
of disease. Mr.. Townsend had the cat
in a box, and they went up he took
observations and noted very carefully
its every movement. When the sum-
NIT was reached they pitched their
tent. This was about o'clock in the
afternoon. The cat partook of some
food, and, after playing for an hour or
SO, fell asleep and did not wake up un-
til near midnight. When it did recov-
er consciousness it set up a bowling
and appeared much distressed. Town
send pitied it and endeavored to make
it feel at home, but of no use. 1t kept
up its constant moaning and displayed
symptoms of having fits. When morn
ing came the cat was offered food, but
it refused to eat, and acted even more
strangely than during the night. Town
send says it would open its mouth as
though gasping for breath, would jump
about, and then go to sleep and wake
up with start. All this while close
watch was kept and every movement
noted. At o'clock in tho afternoon
the cat died of exhaustion.

nent candidates for United states sena.
tor !? There are only two who have
strong following. These are Capt. Rid.
dleberger and Capt, John S. Wise.
think that Riddleberger will be elected
I am friendly to both, but the chances
are in Rid ebergers favor. Johnny
Wise seems almost like one of my own
household. But there is a principle in
this. Riddleberger's return to the
senate would be vindication of the
vote cast him last spring by the thirty
seven republican senators during the
long contest in the senate over its or
ganizatien This matter will, of course,
be decided in caucus. An effort is be-
ing made by democrats to have John
f. Lewis or some other republican
enter the field as a candidate for sena.
tor | do not think that Mr.. Lewis or
any other leading republican would
be willing to go to the United States
senate by bourbon votes. The animus
would be too apparent. OF course the
bourbon democrats would be glad to
accomplish this, it would be a blow
to the republican party of the state
1t would be bad policy for the repub-
licans to accept the profferei votes.
Their policy should be to break down
the bourbon clement something
which they have attempted and failed
to accom- pl'sh for the past twenty
years. No; feel convinced that Rid
dleberger will win. Wise is yonng
man. He can afford to wait. And he
will not go unrewarded.

Ayples as Food.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
ten'dn says:
From the earliest ages apples have
been in use for the table as a dessert.
The historian Pliny tells Us that the
Romans cultivated twenty-five varieties
of the apple. In these latter days we
probably possess over two thousand.
AS an article OF food they rank with
the potato, ami on account of the va
riety of ways in which they may be
served they are far preferable to the
taste of many persons; and II families
would only substitute ripe, luscious APP
Piles for pies, cakes, candies and pre-
served fruits, there would be much less
sickness among the children, and the
saving in this one item alone would
purchase mary barrels of apples. They
have an excellent effect upon the whole
system, feeding the brain as well as
adding to the flesh, and keeping the
blood pure and preventing constipa-
ton, and correcting tendency to
acidity, which produces Rheumatism
and neuralgia. They will cool ot' the
teverish condition of the system; IN
fact, they are far better for these pur-
poses than the many nostrums when
are so highly praised in the advertise
ments and SO constantly purchased by
sufferers. A ripe, raw apple Is entirely
digested in an hour and half, whle
boiled potato takes twice that long"
