Emperor ElOquent1y Expresses His
Thanks for His Peoples sympathy.

peror to Count Won Thun Hohenstein,
president Of the Austrian council of minis
ters, was published to-day expressing in
eloquent and pathetic language the En-
perors thanks for the expressions of ma
tional sympathy with him in his great
bereavement.
In the course of the rescript, his majesty
says: 1.-The numbering hand the instru-
ment of frenzied fanaicism aiming at the
destruction of existing social order, which
was raised against the noblest of women
in blind and purposeless hate, struck a
heart which knew no hate and beat only
for good.
"Amid the unmeasured griefs by which
and my house are stricken, and in the
presence OF the unheard of deed which
has sent shudder through the whole civ
iized world, the voice of my beloved peo-
pie first brings balm to my heart in affect
ing unison with the resound of universal
lamentation for our immeasurable loss,
like a faithful echo of all that moves my
own soul
From my deeply sorrowing heart
thank all for this new pledge of devoted
sympathy. If the festive peals which
should have greeted this year must remain
dumb there yet remains to me the MEM
ory of innumerab,e proofs of loyalty and
deep sympathy the most precious gift
which could have been bestowed upon me.
"Our common grief weaves a new and
intimate bond between the throne and the
fatherIand."
Another imperial rescript founds q new
order, and medals of St. Elizabeth, in
memory of the deceased, will be conferred
upon women and girls merluhg distinction
in the various avocations Of life or in spe-
cial religious, humanitarian and philan-
tropic works.
The Emperor is invested with the sole
right of comforting the order, which COM
prises three grades, with a grand cross for
the first, and second class bearing an en-
ameled picture of st. Elizabeth of Thu
ringia.
The first recipient of the order was
Countess Szapary, who has received an
autograph letter from the Emperor con-
ferring upon her the grand cross of the
order in recognition of her devoted servi-
ces to the dead Empress in her last hours.

Other lambs then followed suit, until
there were six in all. Six, however,
proved t be too many for the affec-
tionate foster-parent, and the number
was reduced to four. These are thriv-
ing wonderfully well, apparently as
well as with their natural mother, and
all the drawbacks which are inevita-
BILE in rearing lambs with the bottle
are absent. The COW fulfills the duty
of a mother in every way, and re-
fuses to be separated from her charges.
In fact. when taken away to Craze in
an adjoining field she bellows and
frets until allowed to come back to
her little family. Pretty it is to see
her lick the lambs, when, having had
their fill of milk. they come around to
her head. The incident is the more
rema rkable as the COW has not had a
calf for IS months. The photograph,
which shows the lambs eagerly TAX
ing their fill of milk, while the cow is
patiently waiting their pleasure, was
taken some minutes after the reunion
of the family, after a few hours COM
pulsory separation, which is necessary
for the welfare of the mother.-Sf
