ONLY BIRTH COUNTS
IN AUSTRIA ONE MUST BE BORN
TO THE PURPLE"
Nowhere on Earth Is the Prestige of
Caste So Marked as in the Do
mains Ruled Over by Francis
Joseph.

The Austrian nobility usually marry
those OF their own rank, with the re-
suit that nearly all the families OF
the aristocacy are related. Princess
Karl. whose mother and father to-
gether had Is brothers and nine sis
tiers, told a correspondent of Cham
bers' Journal that at the last court
ball there were more than a hundred
OF her first cousins and that one win
ter at AbbaZia she had not spoken dur
ing a whole week of balls and parties
to anyone who was not connected
either directly or remotely with her
own or Prince Karl's family.
1t was thought that the barriers of
caste would be broken down if the
Archduke Franz Ferdinand should sue
coed his uncle, the emperor; for if his
morganatic wife, Countess ChOtek
(created duchess Of Hohenberg by the
EMPEROR. became empress, despite his
solemn oath to the contrary, the pres
ent rules as to birth could hardly be
enforced. If they were SO relaxed as
to permit lady not of royal birth to
become empress of Austria they would
be relaxed for all those who now suf-
fer exclusion from court for lack of
princely blood Princess Karl, al
| though she is very broad-minded. could
admit no variation of this rule. In
Austria" she said, ''it is what you are
born that counts, not what you be-
| come"
When I yentured to point out that
this sentiment belonged to the middle
ages, says the writer, her reply
showed me the Interchangeable point of
view of the Austrian aristocrats. 1t
is not mere vulgar glorying in pride of
birth; it is the acceptance of a fact
| that to them is as necessary and as
| natural as the coming Of night and
day u was born Durchlaucht" (that
| is, Serene Highness) Il have married
a Durchlaucht; my children are Durch-
lauchts. How can possibly recognize
! Countess ChOtek as empress? Durch-
| lauchts do not make obeisance to
countesses no matter whom they may
marry. Countesses cannot be made
| expresses in Austria
but Lu6y Can De mdu6 queens III
Hungary" l ventured, and the arch
| duke would be king of Hungary as
well as emperor of Austria"
1t is different in Hungary" the
princess replied quickly The wife of
the king of Hungary is his queen, even
if she were beggar girl"
Then if the duchess of Hohenberg
had been queen of Hungary you would
have made obeisance to her as
queen?"
Certainly" was the immediate an
swer.
Then why not as empress?" (
asked
In Hungary the Countess Chotek
would be queen. 1t is only in Hungary
| that l would make obeisance to her.
In Austria she could never be any
thing save the Countess Chotek, be-
cause she was born Countess Chotek
/ One does not make obeisance to coun-
! tesses, even if they marry archdukes
who become emperors," she repeated.
The murder at Sarajevo made it i'm
| possible to put this question to the
test, but the Princess Karl gave the
| point of view of the Austrian nobility
! in a nutshell.

reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-

MAKING FOUR-HORSE EVENER
Desired at Flowing Time-Ore
Horse Worked in FurroW

A four-horse eVener without side
draft is often wanted at blowing time.
We give here a description of a good
arrangement Of this kind furnished US
by Mr.. J. f Krens, Woodville, Wis.
The cut will show how the evener
is made, and the measurements are
as follows:
Two doubletrees Of ordinary length
a good tough stick of which to make
the long evener, two iron pulleys
which will let strong small link
chain work through them, two bolts to
go through the pulIeys, and two strap
iron braces over the pulleys, will be
needed. The stick for the eyener
should be feet 4 inches long, and the
first pulle- will be put on Z inches
from the right end of it, measuring to
center of pulley. Measure 15A

TRYING FARM HELP PROBLEM
Hired Laborer Should Be Moderately
Intelligent and Well informed
Keep Children on Farm.

The requirements of the farm in
the character of the labor employed
are changing radically. The labor to
be performed by the farmer should be
governed by extensive information and
considerable scientific knowledge. A
successful farmer at the present time
may need considerable knowledge of
chemistry, Of bacteriology, of econom-
ic entomology, of the pathology and
physiology OF plants and animals; of
plant and animal breeding, of fungi
cides and insecticides, Of the conser-
walton of soil moisture; of botany,
pOmology. viticulture, horticulture, and
certainly much concerning the prac-
teal handling and marketing of his
products The hired Iaborer does not
need to know so much, and yet be
should be at least moderately intel
ligent and well informed With re-
gard to the future, the forecast is that
farm labor will not be recruited in
appreciable degree from the city. The
farmer would not need to get his
labor from the cities if he could hold

the recognition of the Importance Of

agriculture. In addition to efforts to
promote economic improvement, many
agencies are at work upon the country
people to improve their home life, and
their social activities, which are al
ready beginning to count against the
unpleasantness of country life and
in favor of making it attractive.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced BY Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at sr1ch
times, but many approach the experi-
ence with an organism united for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children.
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health OF
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going bLndly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should relv
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, g most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
