viscd the Stuttgart suitor to look
elsewhere for a bride.
Archduchess Elizabeth was six
years old when her father died, and
she has inherited his frankness. his
love of nature and outdoor sports, as
well as his melancholy and romantic
tendencies. She is now quite n tall
girl, blonde, with beautiful blue eyes
and expressive features. She has re-
ceived most careful education,
speaks German, French, English and
Italian fucntly, and sings and paints.
But driving, riding, cycling, skating,
tennis and dancing are her favorite
pastimes, and it was at her ball, in
March. 1900, that she first met the
man who is to be her husband. After
that they met quite frequently.
Emperor Francis Joseph did not
break up the match, in accordance
with a declaration said to have been
made many years ago, that he would
not oppose any union wished for by
any members of his house, should the
marriage be the outcome of pure af-
fection. That the venerable monarch
has been true to this sentiment is
evidenced by the fact that only few
wears ago daughter of Archduke
Joseph married the head of the house
of Thurn of Taxis, who belongs to
the same rank of nobility as Prince
Otto of Windischgraetz: while the
heir to the throne, Archduke Franz
Ferdinand, was morganatically mar
ried to Countess Chotek, now known
as princess of Hohenberg. And only
a year or so ago the emperor sane
toned the marriage of Archduchess
Stephanie, widow of Crown Prince
Rudolph. to Count Lonyay, Il llunga-
rian noble of the lowest rank.
Archduchcss Elizabeth is the EN-.
peror's favorite grandchild and would
inherit the thrones of Austria and
Hungary, should the diet ever con-
clude to revoke the Salic law. She
is deeply attached to the lonely old
man who has suffered more than any
other ruler of our times, and their
friendship has repeatedly been made
the topic of poetic effusions. On the
other hand, the archduchess has moth.
ing but contempt for her stepfather.
Count Lonyay, who, she believes, mar.
ried her mother for purely monetary
reasons. But stepfathers usually arc
not objects of affection to adult
daughters, and her dislike must con.
sequently not be considered reAeo-
ton on the counts character.

TOOK A GIANT PHOTOGRAPH.
Plate, Said to lie Largest Ever Made,
Used Mt the Metropolitan
Museum,

An object that attracted consider
able attention at the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art, says the New York Sun,
was n camera about four feet wide
and five feet high that stood all day
in front of painting in the Wolfe
gallery.
1t required the united efforts of
three men to focus the instrument.
The operator said that the plates used
were the largest ever made, and that
if he should fail to give the proper ex-
posure, it would cost his firm $2s.
The time required to get good pho
tograph of the painting was three
hours and a quarter. Three gallons
of developer and four of hyposulphite
of soda were used to fix the plate.
When asked why so long an expos
ure was necessary the operator said
that to get full detail and color value
yellow screen of glass, coated with
gelatine, dyed with picric acid, was
fixed In front of the lens. This screen
changed the picture that passed
through the objective to yellow color
and softened the high lights of the
painting to such an extent that the
dark shadows gave up their detail just
MS rapidly as the bright places. The
plate was prepared with blue myrtle
chlorophyl in the emulsion, and this
decreased it's regular sensitiveness at
least 80 per cent.
Only one painting was photographed
during the day.

THE house of Hapsburg is just

sincere. Soon afterward she appoint


ed Count Seckendorf marshal of her
court and honored him with her COM
plete confidence. Then rumor had il
that the two were, one quiet night,
married in the chapel of the empress
castle, without the knowledge and con.
caused intense excitement in court
circle. Some believed, others r.di-
culed L. Hu. when it became known
that the empress had bequtathed he
magnificent sum of S7jO,OOO to the
count, and that the impulsive William
had conferred the order of the royal
house of Hohenzollern on him, doubts
vanished into thin air and people be-
gan TO talk. One old court gossip is
authority for the statement that the
empress had always looked upon Seek
endorf as her affinity and, although
She paid him but scant attention while
her husband lived, she frequently re-
peated Longfellow's lines:
ships that pass In the night, and speak
each other in passing,
Only signal shown and distant voice in
the darkness.
So on the ocean of life We pass and speak
one to the other.
Only a look and a voice, then darkness
again and silence"
The human heart is a mystery. Its
longings possess king as well as peas
ant. The world probably will never
know the truth about the departed
empress and her second love; but it
does know that while "Unser Fritz"
lived his wife was his most intimate
friend and most trusted counselor.

According to authoritative an.
ada Las decided to nationalize the tele-
graphs and the telephones of the do
minion, says the Chautauquan. The
business elements are said-to be near
~ unanimous in support of this re-
form. The government counts on an
annual surplus of some S7,O0O,OOO, and
its income is increasing under the
usual prosperity of the country. 1t
has, therefore, become possible to
take the step contemplated for years,
but heretofore precluded by lack of
available funds. The government al
ready operates some small telegraph
lines, and not unsucce ssfully. The
telephones, II taken over at the same
time as the telegraph, will be placed
in the hands of the respective munic-
ipalities to be managed by them. 1t
is hardly necessary to add that the
employees of the companies are anx-
ious to become the servants of the
state, knowing, as they do, that from
the government they would secure bet
ter terms and greater consideration.

The telegraph was nationalized in
England about 30 years ago, and while
there have been complaints of inefii-

department. which controls it, there is
no agitation in favor of return to
