How Daniel Webster Amused . Host Oh

On one occasion some Boston friends
sent him as present an enormous
sized pillow to use on his place. Webster
gave out word that on a certain day it
would be christened. The day arrived.
and the surrounding farmers for miles
came to witness the event A dozen
teams with aristocratic occupants came
down from Boston. It was expected by
every one that Webster would make q
great speech on the occasion, reviewing
the history of farming back to the time
when Cincinnatus abdicated the most
mighty throne in the world to cultivate
turnips and cabbages in his Roman
garden. The pillow was brought out and
ten oke of splendid oxen hitched in
front. More than two hundred people
stood around on the tiptoe of expecta-
ton. Soon Webster made his appear

AN IMPERIAL ISLE


Inc Charming Retreat Owned BY sAs
Grown Prince Of Austria.
The Crown Prince Rudolph of Aus
ula' in addition to many other desirable
pomps and vanities, has an island of his
own-Lacroma, in the Adriatic, oppo-
site Ragusa; and there in the midst Of
lovely scenery, surrounded by trans
parent sea, he is convalescing after a
recent indisposition. The isle, three
days steam from Trieste, is as beautiful
as Monaco. and quite out of the world;
Tor while the owner is in residence no
one is allowed to land without special
permit Lacroma formerly belonged to
tnat most unfortunate of monarchs,
Macmillan of Mexico, who was much
attached to it, and wrote several little
poems in praise of its charms. After
his terrible end the island was possessed
by succession of ordinary people, by
one of whom it was sold to the Arch
duke Rudolph in 1873. The future EN-
peror OF Austria lives at Lacroma in the
greatest simplicity. When Macmillan
bought the isle the only available resi-
dence on twas an old monastery which
had been going to ruin for half
century; and in this building the Grown
Prince and Princess live their simple
lives. There are but three good rooms
in the house-the drawing-room, the
ancient refectory, used as salon de
musique. and the drawing-room. The
imperial bedrooms are of very meager
dimensions, while the long-titled Dukes
and Duchesses of the suite have to be
content with the cells of the vanished
monks. The plain whitewashed walls
match the rough, serviceable furniture.
The monastery is said to have been
built by the citizens of Ragusa as a
thanks-ofering for the stoppage of
great fire. At the beginning of the
present century it was partially de-
stroyed by an earthquake, and has
never been thoroughly restored. The
scenery of the island is entirely roman
