A CATHEDRAL KING ARTHUR.

There are few that have not heard
OF King Arthur's Round Table, which,
history informs us, was preserved at
Winchester, and shown by Henry VIII.
to Francis l. Of France. There are
few also that have not read the i'm
mortal poems Of Tennyson. showing
Arthur TO have been one of the nobleet
and greatest of hero kings and con-
querors. But there are comparatively
fewer still who have had the pleasure
of seeing the magnificent eff1gy In
bronze erected to his memory in the
hofkirche, at Innsbruck.
The church was built in compliance
with the will of the Emperor Maxi
milan l., A. d. 155s-69. His own i'm
posing and splendid monument stands
in the center of the nave, and on each
side, like guard of honor, row of
colossal figures in bronze, both male
and female. Some are in armor OF
various types, and the women in
quaint but gorgeous attire, according
to the time in which they lived.
There are no fewer than twenty-eight
of these noble or royal personages,
representing the emperor's ancestors.
contemporaries or others. That OF
King Arthur and two others are at
tributed to the famous Peter Vischer
| of Nuremberg, and in Arthur We see
the most noble and majestic figure OF
the series. The faces and forms of
these august personages are said to be
exact representations, and one could
not fail to be impressed with this idea
from the strongly marked and peculiar
cast of features, the expression and the
attitude. which give striking individ-
uality to so many among them.
| King Arthur is given place Of spe-
cial distinction, standing at the head
| Of the fourteen statues to the left, as
the spectator faces the high altar.
This wonderful group-including the
emperor himself, in bronze, kneeline
on a large marble sarcophagus in the
center-was not completed till the yeai
1898, under the Archduke Ferdinand
although it was commenced in 1909
Round the sarcophagus there Art

Especial letter.

The ascent Of the dread Chilkoot
was not SO bad as had anticipated,
but certainly it was bad enough. A
severe snow storm was raging on the
summit, and 1t was intensely cold.
While ! was struggling up the steep
ascent a cadaverous looking man came
up to me, and held out a card. He
said he was partner in the firm OF
Grimes & Grabenstein, undertakers
and embalmers, and for s25 spot cash
he would undertake to embalm me
and send my corpse home to my
friends, who must forward another SIS
on its arrival. His firm always gave
satisfaction" and he guaranteed that
six months after death ! should look
like a peach"-far better than ! did
now. He told me this In view of the
many accidents which occurred there

lost their lives a few days previously
