A RARE DECORATION.
Grand Cross of the Order o.
Maria Theresa.

The grand cross Of the order of Ma
ria Theresa is today one of the most
exclusive as well as one of the most
brilliant of surviving orders. 1t was
founded by the great empress of that
name in 1861 in honor of the victory of
her troops over Frederick the Great at
Kolin. Its members are elected by bal
lot on the part of the chapter, the. SOW
ereign having no voice in the matter
unless he happens to possess the order.
although be is the instrument of its
bestowal and the signer Of the patent.
In the past hundred years, until Au-
gust, 1914, only tifty-eight members
had been thus admitted to the order,
and at the beginning of the war in
1914 there We're but three knights left,
all of the third and lowest class. One
was the Emperor Francis Joseph, who
won the cross in 1878 on the battlefield
of Santa Lucia against the Italians.
The. second was the Duke of Cumber-
land, father of the sovereign Duke of
Brunswick. who received the cross for
gallantry at the battle of LanSensalZa.
where as crown prince of Hanover he
helped his father, the blind King
George to direct the operations of his
troops The third was Prince Alphonse
de Bourbon, claimant to the throne of
the two Sicilies and popularity known
as the Count of Caserta. He won his
cross by the part he played in the SUI
perb defense of Gaeta, the last strong
hold of the BOurbOns.
The eldest son of the holder of this
coveted decoration is entitled to free
education in Austria's military acade-

RURAL AMERICA.
Our Country as It Was In the Time Of
George Washington.

The America of Washingtons day
was primitively, racily rural. The
country outnumbered the city thirty to
one. II outvoted and outinfuenced the
city. The country was countritied
without urban qualities or depend
encies. Not even the cities themselves
were cititied. Philadelphia. the great
st of them all, with the finest shops.
the best houses, the most extravagant
people. was but a poor. small triangle
of houses. with its base on the Della
ware and its apex stretching timidly
toward the west. Its people. though
reputed gay and luxurious. went early
to bed, rose early and were without
the opportunities and distractions Of
modern urban life. There were no
great factories, no armies of workmen.
no extended commerce. no horse cars,
no omnibuses, no sharp differentiation
of the city into business and residence
sections. Like envious New York and
aspiring Boston. Philadelphia was still
half rural.
A great city was not desired nor
even contemplated. To 1.-THE fathers
the very conception had in it some
thing unwholesome. A city was Il
dwelling place of turbulent, impious
ignorant mobs, of congregation or
'unproductive" artisans. wastrels, Grim
inals. Sabbath breakers. 1t was a
blister on the social body, tumor
which absorbed the healthy juices
The city was vaguely associated with
royalties, courts. armies. beggars and
tattered, insolent. rascally mobs: the
country was the cradle of republican
virtue and democratic simplicity. JEFF
ferson. having in mind the squalid ag-
glomerations of the old countries, con
graduated America on being rural. De
Tocqueville in the thirties believed
that the absence of a great capital city
was zone of the first causes of the
maintenance of Republican institu-
lions. Walter Weyl in Harper's Mag

two months and Houdon did not ar

Two weeks were occupied in model
