PRINCESS ELizABETH'S LOVE.
She Preferred the Man of Her Choice TO a
Crown and Throne.

h Preferred the Man of Her Choice TO a
Crown and Throne.
Some time ago it was believed that
the Leir ptesumptive to the Austrian
throne, Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
would marry his Bavarian cousins
daughter, Princess Elizabeth. l now
hear that the idea existed and was
much favored by the emperor. but the
young princess frustrated these plans.
More than a year ago she began to
look approvingly upon a handsome
young lieutenant, Baron s. The officer
began by riding past her windows a
couple of times a day, then he obtained
a room with windows facing Prince
Leopold's palace. In the winter. at
than any other with the princess. and
in the spring lawn tennis brought them
more together still.
All at once the young officer was
transferred to a regiment stationed in
Alsace, and this seemed the tame end
Of q romantic story. But in the sum-
mer, when Princess Elizabeth staiG
with her emperor grandpapa at lschl,
she is supposed to have used her time
90 week that the emperor promised to
make the baron a prince, to give him
some landed property and to allow the
happy couple to marry if their love
was proof against time.
The princess is 10, pretty, perfectly
natural and very sweet tempered.
That she should have preferred a union
with the man she loves to the certain
ty of an imperial throne will not alien
ate the sympathies of those who know
her and love her for her natural grace.

The Line.

The straightest thing in nature or art
is a ray Of light when passing through

the eye is enabled to test the straight
ness of an edge or tube by holding it as
nearly as possible coincident with q ray
Of light, such part as departs from
straightness then intercepting the ray
and causing a shade to be cast upon 9TH
er parts. 1t is not known at what early
period in the history of mankind the
discovery was made that straightness
could be thus determined. 1t is certain
that thousands of mechanics use the
method daily without being able to give
a rational explanation of it. This print
tive mode of testing straightness, on ac-
count of its great convenience and &C,
curacy. is likely to continue in use to
the end Of the world. - Engineering

The agent represented that he was
organizing an association for the pur-
chase Of a Percheron stallion for the
agreed price Of 81, 500. Each member
of the association was to take one
twenty-seconl part of the venture, and
pay accordingly.
Three notes were given, each for the
sum of 1884, the first due on Oct. 12:
the second on the same date in 1894.
the third in October. 1895. The notes
were joint and were signed by the
members of the association. A Month
cello lawyer has the notes for collection.
and the collection Of the first one is to
be pressed at once.
As ONE of the signers are not con-
sidered solvent, and as the notes are all
drawn. We, or either of us, the en-
terprise promises to be a costly one for
some of the members.
The unfortunate men who form the
association claim they were grossly de-
ceived by the agent, as the extent Of the
liability which they supposed they as
sumed was only 1928, but by signing
the note each member assumed the en-
tire debt, providing his co-sureties
proved to be insolvent. The notes are
all in the hands of third parties, and
no defense can be entered against their
payment.
