wild enthusiasm by the whole nation
Soon, however, the Court intrigues were
in full swing; the cruelties of n Court
etiquette handed down from the middle
! ages and the insults OF a narrow-minded
artistocracy oppressed the Empress
wherever she turned. and the dark cloud
which was never to lift again, began to
settle upon her:
Elisabeth was naturally nervous, and
though In after life there were critical
moments In which her seif-sacrifice was
great the innumerable little daily yie'd-
4 ings seemed impossible to one Of her tenn
perament. She felt herself misunderstood
in her best thoughts and intentions. and
gradually became a lonely woman at her
own Court"
Domestic troubles and nl-heaIth added
to the increasing estrangement OF the
she set out on the first of the Journeys
and wanderings which henceforth were
to remain her chief solace:
The sickness which had pressed so
hard upon her was a deliverance. 1t had
freed her from the crushing life of the
Court, and the long solitude in Madeira
was to strengthen her in patience and
prepare her for the heavy trials which
Providence had in store"
The greatest of these heavy trials"
apart from the ever-present fear of in
sanity, was the terrible end of Crown
Prince Rudolph. that tragedy of Mayer
ling" which even TO this day has never
been cleared up, and the only facts con-
cerning which are that the Crown
Imperial shooting box at Mayerling, near
Baden, in Lower Austria, where he had
been spending a few days. He met his
death through a terrible wound in the
head and in the same room was found
the body OF a young girl, the Baroness
Vetsera. whom he had loved. There was
a general impression that they had both
committed suicide, but there were also
signs which pointed to the fact that Ru-
dolph might have been murdered"
In those days of despair and sorrow the
Empress Elizabeth stood by the Emperor
with almost superhuman fortitude: the
two though for years past they had been
reconciled and friendly" were then once
more united In a common sorrow But
the Empress heart was broken.
"She changed from that day and 1t is
said that she was never heard to laugh
again, that 1t was even a rarity to see her
smile She had been heroic at the time of
the shock. but the strong sef-contro of
those early weeks was followed by heart
rending despair. Many were of opinion
that she had been contradictory and &C.
centric for some time past Now she her
self remarked that she had no longer

than did the good old heroes who wore
the Continental uniform, and yet they
always deny most strsnuousiy that these
awful, energetic pow-pows take place.
There is something intensely snobbish
creeping into our American institutions
through these societies. A poor woman
whose ancestors were real live heroes
stands little chance of being enrolled.
They are exclusively for women with
some little social prestige and q little
larger bank account
Women's political clubs are absolutely
revolving and If you have ever heard a
woman addressing an open air political
meeting. shouting herself into an apoplec-
tic glow while exhOrting the men to vote
for the cause she espouses. you must ad-
nit that the sight is demoyalizing:
The women of the various clubs for the
suppression OF vice and everything per-
tanning thereto make of themselves per-
feet targets for the jeers and gibes OF
those whom they wish to suppress. The
temperance agitators bring ridlcule often
upon the cause they eSpOuSe and i nave
little faith in the shouters, who are often
more meddlesome than wise or sincere.
There is 50 much of hypocrisy hidden
under the pharissical mantle that one
doubts the sincerity Of those so noislly
clamorous for cause For q woman to
ioin a temperance society seems rather
the confession of a weakness and conse-
quent need for such restraining influence
i do not think people should bind them
selves by oaths or pledges. Force OF char-
acter should keep one within bounds IN
dependent of verbal shackles.
There are women's clubs in New YORK
that have each some meddlesome role.
They visit tenemcnts at the most incon-
venfent hours. intruding upon the poor

High Tnx on Wixes.

The missionaries IN South Africa re-
Gently held a convention in Natal. Among
the questions that claimed their attention
was that of polygamy among the natives.
They discussed the practcability of max
ing a crusade against this custom Many
of them declared that the practice was
condemned not only by moral but also
by business considerations. Tho Bishop
OF Mashonaland asserted that the country
might find In polygamy the real reason
for the very inconvenient dearth of labor
in the mines.
The native father looks upon his daugh-
ter merely as so much merchandise. He
will cheerfully part with her II he can
get what he considers to be her value in
cattle. The girl is sold TO her future hus-
band for from five to fifty head OF cat
tie, according TO her beauty IS that quail
ity is estimated among the natives. An
exceedingly fat girl is very beautiful in
deed, and brings the highest price in the
matrimonial market.
The father OF family who raises a
large number OF daughters is certain to
become rich. The more wives he has the
more daughters are in prospect, thus 1t
is highly desirable to have quite num-
Der OF wives The young man who agrees
to sell his labor for a stipulated time In
the gold or diamond mines has only one
thought and that is to get some money
with which he may purchase cattle and
exchange them for wife.
When he has secured this desirable OBJ
white man till he wants more wives. In
the course of time he will have daughters
to sell and then he viii do no more work
at all. His wives will do all the field
work. his daughters will bring in more cat
tie and his herds will grow also by natu-
raj increase. Between wives, daughters
and cattle he will be able to lead life
Of gentlemanly leisure.
The Bishop of Mashonaland proposed
a plan which, If carried Into effect, would,
in his opinion, put an end to polygamy.
He would have the Government view all
wives, except the first, as articles Of lux
ury and tax them in a progressive scale.
Wife No. should be exempt from taxa
ton. but the husband should pay tax
of SIS year for the luxuray OF having
wife No in his family. $50 year for
wife No. 3. 500 year for wife No. 4,
and so on. 1t is evident that at this rate
II would take a very long purse or a very
well-stocked cattle yard to keep the ma
tive home adorned with a goodly number
OF wives
The convention did not commit Itself
to this or any other plan for doing away
with polygamy, and 1t remains to be seen
what the white legislators Of South Afri-
ca Will think of the novel sche.he sug-
gested by the Bishop of Mashonaland.

The White House Today.

The condition of the White House to-
day. when Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt en-
ters It as the first lady of the land, Is.
indeed. a contrast to what it was when
Mistress Abigail Adams made it her
home, 100 years ago. In letter written
to her daughter. Mrs. Smith, at that date
she says:
''The house is upon grand and superb
scale, requiring about thirty servants to
keep the apartments in proper order. The
lighting of the apartments is tax, in
deed, and the fires we are obliged to keep
to secure us from daily asues are an
other very cheering comfort. Bells are
wholly wanting, and promises are all you
can obtain Surourded by forests (can
YOU believe it?) wood is not TO be had,
because people cannot be found to cut
and cart X. We cannot get CRATES made
and set for coal We have, Indeed, come
into a new country You must keep all
this TO yourself. and when asked how l
Ike It say that I write that the situation
Is beautiful which is true. The house
is made habitab!e. but there Is not a
single apartment finished. We have not
the least fence, yard. or other conveu-
ience without, and the great unfinished
