AN AUSTRIAN JOHN BROWN

The Emperor of Austria also possesses g
John Brown" A few days ago Anton
Hannuakampf, his personal attendant,
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his
service to his royal master In 1881 this
faithful henchman was in the service OF
the Duke of Reichstadt, with whom he
remained until the latter's death, on the
Goth of April, 1888. He was then appoint
ed attendant to the present Emperor of
Austria, then an infant of % years of age
lie was at first merely valet, but on the
day that Francis Joseph assembled the
throne he made him his confidential ser
yant, and took him about with him on all
his travels through Europe and the East.
When Napoleon III, visited the Emper-
or of Austria at Salzburg, in 1867, he
particularly requested to be introduced to
Hannuakampf, and questioned him closely
about the Duke of Reichstadt's last mo-
ments, as that Prince died in his arms.
He also accepted from him pair of sleeve
links, worked with the Dukes hair, which
he always wore. The worthy Old servant
bears striking resemblance TO the EN-
peror of Germany. He has received pre-
sents from nearly all the reigning houses
in Europe. but, unlike his Scotch proto
type, has never made single enemy.

Curing a Bad Memory.
From the st Nicholas.

Your memory is bad, perhaps, but
can tell you two secrets that will cure
the worst memory. One-to reada subject
when strongly interested. The other is
to not only read, but think. When you
have read paragraph or page stop,
close the book, and try to remember the
ideas on that page. and not only recall
them vaguely in your mind, but put
them into words and speak them out.
Faithfully follow these two rules. and
you have the gold keys of knowledge.
Beside inattentive reading, there are other
things injurious to memory. One is the
habit of skimming over newspapers, all
in confused tumble, never to be thought
of again, thus diligently cultivating a
habit of careless reading hard to break
Another is the reading of trashy novels.
Nothing is so fatal to reading with profit
as the habit of running through story
after story and forgetting them as soon as
read. know gray-hsired woman, life
long lover of books, who sadly declares
that her mind has been ruined by such
reading.

The five towns in 1850 contained only
A per cent of the population of the
county. In 1870 this had increased to 81
per cent, and in 1889 to So per cent.
Capt. w. G. Bennett urged the need OF
a county hospital, centrally located, within
reach of Rock Island and Moline. Judge
Gould, who is member of the State Board
of Public Charities. said there was great
needless extravaganza in the poor farm
system. Both he and Major Connolly
stated that there was a general under
standing that the hospital should be built
near Rock Island and Moline, and that to
place it in an out-of theway place would
be to defeat nehalf the purpose for which
the institution is intended. Dr. sMcKinnie
explained satisfactorily that if new coun
ty hospital was erected close to town, and
the poor farm abandoned, fifty per cent
of the current pauper expenditures could
be sayed
A motion made by Major Connolly was
adopted, appointing DR.. McKinnie, Judge
Gould, and DR.. G. G. Craig committee
on grounds, to receive proposals, and it
was agreed to have another meeting on
June 9th.

The Committees ON the County Hospi-
tai Have Another Meeting.

The county hospital committee of the
board of supervisors. together with a
committee of gentlemen from Moline and
Rock Island. met at the county clerk $
office on Saturday afternoon, and discuss
ed the location of the county hospital at
considerable length. There were present
Supervisors McKinnie, Robertson, Camp
bell, Warnock and Schneider; Major FL.
c. Connolly. Dr. G. G.. Craig, Alex Steel,
of this city; Judge j. NJ Gould and Capt.
A. c. Bennett, of Moline. MAJOR Connolly
stated that Mr.. p. L. Cable was still will
ing to donate sufficient ground, whereon
to erect large building to be used as an
insane asylum and a medical and surgical
hospital The dimensions of the piece
of land he would give for The purpose is
300x175 feet. 1t was also made known
that Mr.. B. Davenport had offered four
acres south of Chippiannock cemetery.
As an argument in favor of the location
of the hospital in the immediate vicinity
of Rock Island and Moline, Major Con
nelly showed that seven -tenths of the
county's population were residents of the
townships of Rock Island South Rock
Island, Black Hawk, Moline and South
Moline, and paid large proportion of
the taxes raised for the county's expenses,

Heaven bought an island off the coast of

tween three and four thousand pounds
1t was known as Lundy isle, and Mr.
Heaven became known as lord of Lundy

islanders as tenants. wrapped in the soil
tude of the sea, and guarded his privi-
leges from invasion by refusing TO ac-
cede to the requests of those in power
affecting his seclusion and lorlship. Thus
he remained absolute monarch of his
realm until he died a short time since. Now
