A Brave AUSTRIAN Princess.

The Archduchess Marie Theresa OF
Austria, step-mother OF the heir to the
Austrian throne, is Honorary Captain
of the Central Association OF Fire Brig
AIDES In Austria. This honor was con
ferred upon the Princess la eonse-
quence OF her astonishing bravery on
the occasion OF an outbreak Of fire In
the neighborhood of her country resi-
dence. On being Informed of the fire.
she instantly drove IN her carriage TO
the scene of the c%onhagratlon, and
learned that a little child was a pris-
oner in n Of the burning houses.
Moved by the story, before any one
had time to prevent her, the Princess
left her carriage and dashed through
the smoke up the burning staircase,
returning trlumpnantly, a little later
with the child, quite unnamed, clasped
In her arms. That the brave lady suf-
fered for her heroic act was shown by
her scorched hair and Injured hands.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1899-01-12

Initiated into the seclusion OF a palace
that in reality was Il prison. Although
the first lady Of the realm. she did not
enjoy the privileges or freedom OF the
meanest slave.
1t WAS about three years ago that she
became Queen, and since that time one
can only fancy the life of sorrow she
must have lived. Only once was she
outside the palace walls In those three
years, and that was to attend the flu
neral Of her father.
A bamboo box was made in which
she was carried to the grayeside. The
sides of the cage were thlekly matched
with palm leaves, preventing her from
seeing anything that was going on out
side. Near the top OF the bamboo struc-
ture were ventilation openings, but
these were SO screened that she could
not see out. At the grave she could
hear the clods falling upon the coffin
lid, but could see nothing. She could
near the means and walls OF the
mourners, but received no real sym
patty. When the grave was closed In
she was carried back TO her prison and
her life of hopeless loneliness. That
was about = year ago.
Sons weeks ago the Ocean Spray was
driven out OF her course and stranded
on the shores of Muna Island. The ma
lives swarmed around and welcomed
the whites. They told the captain OF
the Illness Of their Queen, and he,
knowing something of the circum-
stances, secured permission for his
wife TO see the Queen. From his wife's
| report he concluded that the unfortu-
nate royal prisoner was merely suffer
ing from a cold. He prepared some
medicine for her from his chest and
gave It to the chiefs, saying that II was
only a cold, and II they followed his di-
rectlons and gave the medicine she
would be all right.
They accepted the medicine with a
great show OF gratitude, went away,
called a council of chiefs, and after
long and careful deliberation decided
that 1t would be dangerous TO give her
the white mans medicine. II she had
II cold the proper remedy was an appli-
| cation Of heat. The priests built q mum
Der OF fires on the beach. The Queen
was carried out in the bamboo cage,
and amid the loud walls of the priests
and cries of the assembled people it
was placed In the center of the circle
of fires. Fresh fuel was piled on and
the heat became more Intense. The
poor Queen cried for help, but no help
came. All one night aud during the
greater part of the next day the cold
curing ceremony was kept up, and then
all was still within tho cage. Calls TO
the Queen brought no answer, and the
chiefs and priests knew that the cure
bad been a success. Amid shouts OF
jubilation the box was carried 10 the
palace gate, delivered to the attendants
and dragged into the secluded interior.
Soon a piercing shrek came from the

Poor Memory.

An English bishop was one day wait
ing at a station for n train. says the
Churchman, and being in good time
was INDUCING In a walk up End down
the platform. While thus engag ed he
met Il young officer whose face seemed
familiar TO him.
As tho two met IA second time The
bishop said. Good morning" At ths
third encounter he stopped and asked.
How is your fatherf'
The gallant soldier replied, He ia,
been dead many years"
The bishop tried again with the
query, How Is your motherf'
We'll" said the officer smiling, Il
think she must be all right, for you
wonld certainly have heard II she had
been lndisposed."
The bishop walked away. but his en-
rlosity was thoroughly aroused. See
ing the station. master, he went toward
him, and asked whether he could en-
tighten him as 10 who the young ont
GER was with whom he had Just been
speaking.
why, your lordship." replied the
station-master. that IL the Duke OF
~Connaught."
The feelings OF the bishop who had
failed to recognize the third son of
Queen Victoria, and who had asked 50
beneyolently after the healrh OF the
young officers mother. can perhaps he
imagined.
