A ROMANCE OF ROYALTY.
How Francis Joseph OF Austria Won
His Bride

The great original on which the story
of the Empress of Austria is founded is
the delightful old story of Cinderella.
She was the younger sister, snubbed.
suppressed, kept in the background and
in short frocks, but when the Fairy
Prince came along she romped in, an
easy winner.
Elizabeth Amelia Eugenia was her full
name. She was a Princess of a branch
of the House of Bavaria a cousin of
the unfortunate King Ludwig, and was
brought up very quietly indeed. The
residence of the family was at the Cas-
tie OF Sasenhofen, on the Lake of Starn-
berg, and they used to spend their sum-
mers at 1schl, in the Austrian Alps. And
here it was that the little girl had her
love story.
She was still quite little-only six
teen years of age. No lovers had as
yet sought her hand All that she
knew of romance she knew from her
sister, Helen, who from childhood had
been affianced to FraEcis Joseph. En-
peror of Austria and King of Hungary.

able to remain away. however. and con-
sequently returned this morning. Since
his arrival he has answered eleven mill
ion questions about appointments, he
says, and there are still few precincts
to be heard from.
The prevailing impression seems to be
that the Republicans will surrender the
reins of government to their rightful sue
cessors on May 3. Those favoring the re-
tention of the government by force are

concerned apparently. They are pinning
their hopes to the ability of Allan l..

city offices.

stores of barley, maize and sardines, and,
above all, brandy. A Turkish officer jok-

speaking Of the incurably i'll OF mortally

the resources Of medical science to keep
them in misery? Would it not be a

men shall rid themselves of theological

their idea is to make the collection of a

contemplated. Only those necessary to
restore it to it's original condition and

Alsace still preserves her traditions
OF cookery, and every Ohristmastide the
traditional dishes appear on the table
sauerkraut, surrounded by little white
sausages ana crowned by a piece of
smoked bacon stewed hare, withnoodles,
and roast goose stuffed with chestnuts.
But the favOrite dish is the famous
kugelhopf and anisseed bread, which
are made after the following fashions:
-Four pounds Of -four, pound of fresh
butter, pint Of milk, half a pound of
ralslns, 6 ounces Of yeast, 9 eggs, 2 ia
blespoonfuls OF rum, 2 tablespoonfuls of
sugar, pinch Of salt and few almonds.
Heat the milk and the yeast Mix the
yeast with a third of the milk without
frothing it, add enough -four to form a
ball OF light paste that will not stick to
the fingers. Let this remain for half an
hour until its size is increased by half
through fermentation. The proper point
can be aScertained by putting the finger
into the paste, when it should take its
original form. Then put the rest of the
milk, with the butter, sugar and rum,
into the dish. Place it in an earthern
pot and work it till it will no longer
stick either to the pot or to the fingers
Then add the eggs and the raisins,
working all together and put it in a
