and IS proudly perched on the rock on the Buda
side Of the river Built IN the reign Of Emperor
Charles VI on the site OF the abode OF King
Matthias Corvinus. II was partly destroyed dur
ing the boubardment Of 1S49 al the time Of the
great Hungarian insurrection. but has now been
rebuilt with greater splendor than ever, and
Francis Joseph holds court there during several
weeks each year. attended on these occasions by
a household composed exclusively ef Hungarian
mobiles all the dgntaries Of his Vienna court
being left behind him in the Austrian capital
The Hungarians are very jealous about this
and resent the presence Of any Austrian official
among his encourage when he IS In residence at
Buda and while there he invariably wears the
picturesque uniform OF an Hungarian cavalry
general in lieu OF that OF an Austrian field mar
shall. His conversation too. is carried on when
at Buda-Pesth IN Hungarian. which he talks
quite as fuently he does German, and in
asmuch a. he is the first Of the HapsbuTg rulers
Of Hungary TO pay the latter the compliment
OF acquiring her language. he has a very warm
hold upon the affection Of his Magyar sub
jects.
1t is in the chapel OF his palace at Buda that
are preserved the sceptre, the sword and the
mantle Of 81. Stephen, King Of Hungary. which
are objects Of such generation and Jealous care
on the part Of the Magyars that their removal
10 Vienna by Emperor Joseph II contributed
more than anything else to ALLEVIATE from him
the hearts Of his Hungarian subjects convinc-
ing them that he had IN view the destruction of
their national independence. Indeed, from time
irnrnernorial these relics which are likewise the
regaIia Of the kingdom have been looked upon
TO such an extent the palladium OF the
state that the very fate Of the kingdom is
believed TO depend upon their possession They
are watched day and night by n body
guard Of veteran Hungarian grenadiers. and are
carefully locked up within great iron chest,

OF its existence. having often been hidden in
strange places TO preserve II from the Turks
when they pillaged the Hungarian capital Its
last adventure Of this kind was IN 1919 when it
was carried away by Kossuth the leader OF the
great Magyar insurrection. and was buried in
the ground near Orsova, where it remained con-
cealed for five years, until finally its hiding
place was revealed to the Emperor King. so
that it was able TO serve for his coronation in
1867.
There are many things about both Buda and
Pesth 10 recall the frequent visttations OF the
Turks. among others the parish church OF Buda,
which has repeatedly served as mosque. the
crescent alternating with the cross from its
tower Adjoining it are the government Offices.
The only building OF any Importance on the
other side Of the great suspension bridge. which
connects Buda and Pesth is an immense build
ing used as a barracks and artillery depot, built
by Emperor Joseph toward the latter part OF
the eighteenth century. FOR a purpose which has
never been exactly explained. 1t is known. how
ever that colossal as is the building above
ground. the portion Of it which is underground
Is stiu more vast In extent. and. inasmuch as
most of the subterranean dungeons still remain
equipped TO this day with iron chains and rings.
1t is popularity reported that it was Emperor
Joseph's design TO incarcerate there a greater
portion OF the Hungarian nobility. with whom
he was at daggers drawn throughout the later
portion OF his reign.
Just opposite the suspension bridge rises a
huge mound. surrounded by an iron railing. and
composed of earth brought from The different
parts OF the Kingdom, and constructed for the
coronation OF Emperor Francis Joseph as King
of Hungary nearly forty years ago. After being
crowned Francis Joseph rode up this Corona
tion hill" on horseback. and from IT'S summit
brandiShed the sword OF St. Stephen toward
each point Of the compass, in token OF HIS deter
mination TO defend the kingdom against every
enemy A little way out OF Pesth. midway be-
tween the two shores OF the river, is the ex-
quisitely situated island known the Margare-
then Insel, which belonging to the Hapsburg
family has been converted into public
park and gardens. and serves as the most popu-
lar resort for rich and poor alike. 10 the people

BASLE-

There is probably no more famous bridge IN
Europe than the wonderful bridge that spans
the River Rhine at Basic II has played role
in nearly all the great conspiracfes in the his
tory Of the last few hundred years as the spot
where the plotters coming from various parts
Of Europe would meet without danger OF arrest
or interference This being The case. the bridge
has naturally also figured in many historical
romances. among others IN the novels OF Alex
ander Dumas the elder. The bridge divides

prevailed in Basic OF keeping all clocks one hour
in advance OF those OF other cities OF Europe
which has only been abandoned during the last
half century This custom which prevailed
for hundreds of years, was due. according TO
one story. to the fact that the attempt OF an
enemy TO surprise the city was defeated BY tho
