A hISTORIC CASTLE.
Burg Hohenzoliern. the Cradle OF the
Eeigning Family of Germany.

Burg ROhepzolieru, the cradle OF the
Eeigning Family of Germany.
We have left behind Us the grand
duchy of Baden and are passing through
Hohenzollern, now associated with the
present greatness of the German empire
For thousand years the name has been
borne by race of fighters, whose lances
and battle axes have given way to maya
zine rifles and the methods Of Moltke.
The name has been carried far from the
little Danube country-northward 10
the Russian border and to Holland; to
the west it has thrown its arms around
Strasburg, and eastward it has driven
the holy Roman empire to beyond ths
center of German influence.
The castle to which all the branches
of this much divided stock look to as
the ancestral home lies few miles
from Sigmaringen, the road winding
along tumbiing brook. whose mouth
is near the foot of the ruins of Dietfurt
castle, to point where the water on one
side flows to the Danube and on the other
into the Rhine.
In the broad valley shortly beyond
this point rises a solitary peak crowned
with the battlements of Burg Hohen-
zollern. For miles on every side it is
the most striking feature of the country
and rising as it does straight up out of a
great plain and commanding an un-
INSTRUCTED view of all surrounding ap-
proaches, it represented down to our
century a military position readily ap-
preciated.
1t has been twice in ruins, and twice
built up again by the united efforts of all
the family. The present castle was COM
menced in 1850, with view not merely
of preserving the cradle of the Prussian
kings, but equally to represent in south
Germany military stronghold of some
value. While, therefore, the architect
has been given a free hand, in order to
make the outward appearance harmonic
with the geographical situation, all the
requirements of modern warfare have
been taken into account in the construc-
ton of the massive zigzag Of defensive
wall.
A company of infantry were tramping
out to drill as we came under the walls
which made us rather wonder where
they could all find standing room together
for the purpose, until we discovered a
little terrace cut out of the side of the
slope, somewhat like the one on the
Quebec citadel.
The day was hot, our coats were off,
our waistcoats loose and sleeves rolled
up as we sought the public room Of the
castle, where retired sergeant provided
mediocre food at rather high prices.
Of course the "Kastellan" showed us
the castle, but the rooms being modern
the interest is rather with historic assoc
citation than with the objects themselves,
precious as many of them are. The
present emperor has not visited the place
since his advent to the throne, aud it
has never been much lived in by any OF
the royal family. A reason naturally
suggests itself in the distance from Ber-
lin, the smallness of the space available
for an imperial suite and the absence OF
entertainment in the neighborhood.-
