ROYALTY AND RELIGION.


Members Of Relgning Families Who Have
Withdrawn From the World.
The latest member Of . reigning family
to embrace . religious life 10 the Prince
OF L~oewenstein- Wertheim. who has Just
gone into q monastery. He lis well known
through his hong activity in opposition
to duclling. He is nov ~. and when one
considers how powerful an attraction
monastic life has had for his family 1t
does not appear surprising that he took
the step. His only sister and two Of his
daughters took up oonventual life long
ago. His sister. Princess Adelheid Loewen-
stein ,is the widow Of the Infante Miguel, once
a pretender to the throne Of Portugal.
His son, the Duke Of Braganza. has Just
announced that he will also make a claim
TO the throne Of that disturbed country.
Among other religious members Of reign
ing families il Prince Max Of Saxony,
brother Of the reisning King. who 10 pro-
feseor Of oanonioal law and liturgy at the
University Of Freiburg. With the sxcep-
ton of those named only side branches
Of the reigning families are to DO found
in religious life. The oonsistorial counsel
OF the Cathedral Of st. Stephen in Vienna
is Count Arnold EUR Lippe. q cousin OF
the reigning branch Of that dynasty.
Among the members Of the famous although
politically unimportsnt family Of Lichten-
stein in Vienna who have gone into the
Church are Prince George, who al Father
Ildeson has become q member Of the
Benedictine Order at Prague, and Princess
Henriette Lichtensteln. who under the name
of Adelgundis has gone into the Bene-
dictine convent at Smichow in Bohemia.
Among the so-called mediatized families
there are many more examples, although
they are always Catholics. One may
search in vain for a Protestant dignitary
who has one into the religious life. Prince
Frederic de Croy, who was not long ago
a very lively young officer Of the guards
at Potsdam, is now a priest in the service Of
the Pope. Two members OF the Hohen-
lohe-S chillingsfuerst family nave recent
ly become priests. One. Prince Phillip,
who formerly held a high political post, is
nov C Iencdictine father, and Prince kar
Egon. who 10 barely out OF his teens, has
become q secular priest in the diocese OF
S~iebenburgen. There is Of course a long
list of young women who nave taken the
veil and among the most recent 10 the beau
tiful Marie Schwartzenberg. daughter Of
the Prince, who has become q B~enedictine
nun. Sister Maria Woislawa, the daugh-
ter OF Prince Lobkowitz. has just entered a
convent, and 30 have three sisters OF Prince
Is5nburg- Birste.n. whose mother was an
Archduchess OF Austria Toscana.

Owner Of Four and Twenty Golden Um-
brellas. His subjects PROSTATE themselves
as he passes and his ~favorite wives I'M his
brothers kneel before him.
Finances do not worry him. His income
is about $40, 900. 900 a year and his gorgeous
palace contains much treasure. The palace
is divided into outer and inner parts and no
Eur opean male has ever penetrated the
latter.
The Siamese hold the inner palace 30
sacred that it is bad form even to allude
TO il. The palace which ia the oficial resi-
dence is built in Italian style, but the roofs
are Siamese. The European furniture is Of
immense value and the adornments OF the
royal chambers were ordered in London
and cost half a million dollars.
The King is an enthusiastic Buddhist and
encourages the display Of pomp Inn grand
eur in buildings. which best takes form in
the completion Of the temples begun by his
ancestors. The wonders of these create a
great impression upon Occidental visitors
and stories are told of gilded halls. gigantic
precious stones and floors inlaid with silver
and gold. In the midst Of these temples
rises the famous statue of Buddha covered
with emeralds.
or wives the King has many. but he can
elevate only two Of them to royal dignity.
The custom still exists in Siam that on
state occasions the princes and mobiles
present their prettiest daughters to the King.
His supreme wife. Sowapa Pongsi. is his
half sister. both having the same father.
She lie 43. but looks younger. Her fea-
lures are Of Japanese type and in her own
country she wears knickerbo ckers. No
European Queen is 30 rich In jewelry as
she.
The King too loves jewels and buys about
$500 600 worth a year. The throne Of state
is decorated with many Of them and in
magnifcence is second only to the peacock
throne Of Persia. 1t is composed largely Of
gold and is studded with precious stones.
The Kings mantle Of state is declared to be
the most valuable mantle in the world. 1t
has been handed down from king to king,
each adding precious ton until now il Is
almost solidly encrusted with gems.
