lie is not known to have any friend
of either sex. He is almost always
seen alone. He has the lore wan face
of the Hapsburgs, sheepish and with
out character; a leaden eve, thin and
eXpressionless mouth, slow and timid
gait His physiognomy is at once
timid. shy and malicious. He hunts,
he rides, he drives four-in-hand
and that is about all he does.
He is one of the most ignor-
ant Princes of the day. He
can scarcely write even German; he
writes meager and worse than ordinary
French; he has never been able to
speak a word of English: and he is lg-
norant of all the languages spoken on
the soil of Austria. At eighteen, when
he was emanclpated. and when his
professors babe him adieu, he burned
all his books, vowing that he would
never touch another book in his life,
and he has SO far kept his word.

rible steeplechase in the presence
of the bereaved family. The
bishop of Linz was angry, and went to
complain TO the emperor. The latter
sent for his nephew, struck him, fined
him 1000 forms for the benefit of the
outraged family and the same sum for
the church and banished him from
court for twelve months. The success

The political destinies of its King,

Elizabeth, however, has warmly es-

the horses master.
The people around the fire stared at
the man that owned this curious horse
and nearly every one OF them left his
seat and went out to see the remarka-
BILE horse eating oysters.
Then the cunning Dean made him
self comfortable in the warmest
corner and ordered his supper.
Presently back came the hostler
with the disappointed crowd after
him
He won't touch them. sir, :" cried
the hostler.
Then take the foolish animal all
the oats he can eat" replied Dean
Swift. You can bring the oysters
here. I'll eat them for supper my

A simple and novel treatment for

This consists in washing out the
stomach. A long flexible pipe is
passed down the throat unil one end
is in the stomach. The upper end
has asfunnel attached into which hot
water is poured in until the stomach
is filled. The funnel end of the
pipe is then turned down until it is
lower than the bottom of the stom-
ach, which is thus emptied as
through a siphon. The hot water
closes the blood vessels and reduces
inflammation, and the relief is i'm
