to start for Amsterdam, whence early
in August she will set out for Gibralter
on what it is rumored may prove voy-
age around the world. She is as fond of
equestrian exercise rs ever, but unfor-
tunately the state of her health has rem
dered it necessary for her to finally relin-
quish her seat in tho saddle. How she
has walked for some years past is mat
ter of common talk in Austria Hungary.
To the dis,nay of her ladies in attend
ance, the empress has often rambled
over the hills of Buda and through the
sylvan shades of the Wienerwald till
her companions have been literally
walked off their legs, and have been
obliged to ask their imperial mistress for
permission to sit and rest. Even if the
empress does not so around the world it
is understood that she will certainly
pay visit to America. country for
which she has often expressed great ad-
iration.-Chicago Herald.
