A BABY BORN WITH TEETH.-A two
months-od baby, born with teeth was taken
to the office of Dentist Mapp, IN Brooklyn, on
Saturday to have its front teeth extracted so
that its mother Mrs. Christopher Quinn,
could nurse the child with more personal
comfort to herself DR.. Hasbrouck, promi-
nent dentist, says that such cases, while rare,
are not so uncomm On as to cause much of a
stir. Teeth in children at birth, said he,
"are usually duo to some constitutional
trouble of the parents Measles and scarlet
fever often cause teeth to come in an irregu-
lar way. They are usually the milk teeth.
Of course, they cause the mother much an
noyance, but they are easily extracted

Horrors of
the Hapsburg

The recent assassination of the en-
press of Austria recalls the fact that
the house of Hapsburg seems to be
as unfortunate now as it was once
successful in those intrigues whereby
the counts of Hapsburg became the
dukes and later the emperors of Aus
tria.
1t was by murder, treason, treach-
cry and perfidy of every known kind
that the dukes of Austria took on the
title of kings, and finally became the
inheritors and the representatives of
the Roman empire. And iH this rec
ord the women of the Hapsburg fam
lily played a romantic part and not
unfrequently that of Jezebel or a
Messalina. We need not go further
back than the time of Maria Theresa.
Her character as a queen-empress is
well known, but her character as a
mother is not, yet it was indicated
from the following cruel incident Her
daughters were as unfortunate as they
were fair, and that they were fair to
the point of enchantment goes with
out saying. Burke has left on record
n immortal words the impressions
which one glance at the divine face of
Maria Antoinette left upon his mind
But more fair and more beautiful still
was Maria Antoinette's sister, the
arch duchess Maria Josepha The
emperor idolized her and the imperi-
GUS empress-queen herself who had
little time or inclination for lavishing
caresses upon the six fair daughters
which she had borne to Francis of
Lorraine, regarded Maria Josepha
with a sweet and peculiar indulgence.
AT 16 this Inflated princess was a
girl of ravishing beauty, with hair of
golden auburn, with the face of
a Psyche, with a sinewy form, a pc
culiar, even angelic sweetness of dis
position and exquisite manners. Just
as she had turned her 18th year the
Emperor Francis died, and while she
was engaged to Ferdinand II. of Ma
pies.
The engagement was one that
brought pride and joy to Maria There
sa's heart. 1t was an alliance which
extended the influence of the Haps-
burgs in that southerly direction
which has been the perpetual dream of
the house. The marriage treaty was
signed and the betrothal of this be-
witching bride took place August s,
1867. The court of the Hapsburgs put
aside the mourning that it had as
sumed because of the emperor's death
The empress herself was radiant WITH
smiles. F'etes and balls and a series
of the most brilliant entertainments
followed in rapid succession. in which
the empress widow herself freely par
| ticipated But suddenly the arch
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1899-01-12

upon which no courtier had gazed
more languid and lusterless as the gay
and royal revelry proceeded. The
rose had wilted.
More than once the beautiful girl de-
clared that her marriage should never
take place. 1t was evident to all that
upon the mind of the fair creature,
and dark cloud at once eclipsed all
the former sunshine of the lady's life.
Finally Maria Theresa seemed to
take offense at her daughters despon-
dency. She did not press the arch
duchess to her heart nor look into
her once fair but now lifeless eyes the
sweet and kindly smile of mother.
But On the contrary, the royal mother
ordered the archduchess to repair
alone to the vault in which her dead
father lay, and there kneeling by his
coffin to pray for the repose of his
soul The archduchess regarded this
as the last and most dreadful blow.
She entreated her mother to save her
such an ordeal. Maria Theresa, how
ever, was little moved to pity and as
little used to brook opposition in any
thing: end least of all would she toll
crate it in a matter where she ap.
peared to have a mysterious personal
interest. She, therefore, refused to
listen to her daughters pleading ami
insisted upon her orders being
obeyed to the letter. The archduch-
ess was not ignorant of the motive
which actuated her mother but she
dared not disobey.
Il am going down to my tomb, /"
whispered the archduchess in the ear
of one of her maids of honor. as she
proceeded to carry out the injunc-
ton laid upon her. The archduchess
now descended unattended and alone
into the vault, where shortly before
the remains of the princesses of the
house of Hapsburg Maria Josephine,
wife of the king of Saxony, had been
inferred beside that of Francis of Lor-
raine. The queen of Saxony had died
of smallpox. To send the archduchess
to pray in such a place was virtually
to pass sentence of death upon her.
Accordingly upon the day follow
ing the archduchess herself fell i'll of
small poX. Maria Theresa ordered
masses to be celebrated in all the
churches of Vienna for the recovery
of the archduchess But as the cof-
fin that contained the remains of the
queen of Saxony had been pried par
italy open there was no chance for
Josepha to escape the catching and
terrible disease. She died upon the
very day fixed for herself and King
Ferdinand to leave Vienna for Ma
Piles. There was weeping at the court

COUNTRY GIRLS SLEEPING ROOM
Fitting and Furnishing it to Please the
Daintiest Maiden.

Il know dear little girl who is sure
that her room is everything to be de-
sired" writes Mrs. John B. Sims of
The Sleeping Room on the Farm, in
the January number of the Ladies'
Home Journal. 1T is fifteen feet
square and has two wardrobes. There
is a north and a south window. The
walls are covered with paper in a deli
cate shade of gray. with pink clover
blossoms scattered over it; the window
curtains are of silkoline in the same
shades; a mating in subdued colors
covers the floor The bedroom suit,
however, did not please the little miss.
1t was old enough to be in fashion
again, but it was of walnut, heavy and
dark. Then her mother came to the
rescue, and when a woman, pair OF
brushes and two cans of ready-mixed
paint get together. success is sure to
follow, and so it proved in this case.
That bedroom furniture changed it's
color as quickly and as effectively as
the world-fame1 chameleon of our
schooldays. The rule for doing such
work always began with 'scrape the
wood thoroughly with glass and then
sandpaper It, and 1t always dis
couraged me. In this case, however,
this rule was found quite easy to
break, and it was broken quickly. The
solid wood was painted a very pale
gray, almost silver white; the scroll
work was picked out in old rose A
cane-bottomed chair was painted to
match: a camp chair was covered with
cretonne which harmonized. The
washstand was fitted out in white. A
shelf for choice books, a small home
made stand for the keepsakes and the
Delft candqestick. few dainty pic
lures on the walls. and the little maid
was satisfied"

\ Fateful Penance Redrawn from old print.

If Vienna in consequence but the eyes
of the empress-queen were dry. No
motherly instinct of grief overcame
the fierce fires of jealousy that blazed
in her Queenly heart.
Maria Theresa never gave the slight
est proof Of remorse. and after the
