SHRINE DEAR TO HUNGARY
Chapel Near Orsova Built Over Spot
Where Was Buried the RegaIia
of the Kingdom.

OrSOva, the Hungarian frontier city
on the Danube recently occupied by
Roumanian forces, is only few miles
above the Iron Gates, the last defile
of the Danube, and about an equal
distance below the scenically mag
ni6cent Kazan defile.
On the outskirts of Orsova, about
two miles from the steamboat pier,
there is an attractive little park, in
the midst of which is one of the holi-
est shrines Of the Hungarian people.
1t is the Kronen Kapelle Grown
ChapeD erected by Emperor Francis
Joseph over the spot where Louis Kos
suth and his fellow patriots buried
the Hungarian crown Of st. Stephen
and other regalia of the kingdom In
1849.
The story of the hiding of the
crown is one of the most pathetic
chapters in the life of the man who
is generally admitted to have been
Hungary's greatest orator and most
incorruptible patriot. The revolution
against Austria 1848-49) having
failed, Kossuth and his devoted fol-
lowers were seeking safety in flight,
taking with them the national in
sigma. AS they neared the Turkish
frontier their patriotism would not
permit them to bear the emblems Of
national existence beyond the borders
of their country, so, in secret, the re-
gala were buried, each participant in
the act vOwing not to reveal the hid
ing place except with the consent of
his associates.
Some years later, however, after
Kossuth had gone to England and
thence to the United States, and the
cause of Hungarian independence
seemed hopelessly lost, the place of
hiding of the regalia was revealed to
Emperor. Francis Joseph, who had the
precious articles unearthed and the
spot consecrated by the chapel, in
which is a statue of the Virgin and
Child, one of the masterpieces of the
Austrian sculptor Meissner. The
chapel is approached by splendid
avenue of tall p0plars.

"The wrist watch is to hold it's

cent convention of the American Ma
tional Retail jewelers. association. So
the matter is settled for another year

rily whether so useful belonging as
the wrist-watch is to stay or go; but
one knows what upheavals in fashion
a few coutourieres banded together
may accomplish in the twinkling of an
eye; so perhaps those of us who live,
move and keep our several appoint
ments by wrist-watches should be hum
bly, thankful that they are to be per-
mitted to use yet another twelve
month. Incidentally, the convention
also decided that bar screws for the
ears will come into favor rapidly and
that diamond solitaires will be the
fashionable earrings.

ing up the foothills. which lie close to
the river.
Big-game shooting is more difficult
undertaking, and the sportsman must
leave the comfort of his housebOat and
climb up bowlder-strewn forest tracts
towards the snow-capped mountains.
Unenterprising sightseers may enjoy a
delightful journey through some of the
nearer valleys, sleeping each night in
a different log hut built for the bene-
fit of forest officers.
The spell of the forest cannot be
denied, and yet it is a joyful day which
brings US back to the life of the river.
1t is good TO float once more on the
bosom of the laughing lakes and spend
lotus-eating hours in one or other of
the gardens laid out by Mughal en-
perors of old. The very same streams
they loved sing past US today, and the
fountains glitter as Of old in the sun
shine, and in the flower beds they
planned many-colored blossoms shake
their joyous petals in the breeze.

Kasmir, it becomes difficult TO lay 1t

a lovely woman, and once she had laid
her spell upon US, we never escape

Uncle SANS Chemists.

Despite the monumental work of

They say the American states use up

but they form an offset by no means
negligible to the annual product of that

or wax, remarks a correspondent of
the Boston Herald.
In 1864, in Toronto schools, we
chewed wax, India rubber, tar, con-
gealed turpentine, slippery elm, icorice
root, sassafras root or wheat till it was
reduced to an oleaginous state, and
sometimes the molasseslike glutinous
stuff from printers rollers! Chunks
of wax the boys stole from the altar
candles in st. Mary's church; the tar

fully laborious two days job for the

with the magic of his words in repro

fairy kingdom in such lines as these:

beautiful, in spite of the dirt which
wraps them round. They work along

towing the boats, and often, in addi-

Pension for Authors.

BY a curious coincidence of fate,
William II. Mallock, who wrote us
Life Worth Living?" is among the au-
thors to be placed on the British civil
pension list, according to the most re-
cent announcement.
Another recipient of government

dramatist who translated MADAME

widow Of the author Of "The Cruise Of
the Cachalot," and other SEQ stories,
are also on the list.
To be eligible to the pension the re-
cipient must have been eminent in
literature, except in the case Of a de-
pendent, and Notwithstanding that
payment is form Of charity there Is
never a dearth Of applicants.
The uncertainty of the rewards Of
literature is nowhere better illustrated
than in the case Of Doctor Murray,

his time. who gave many years to the
perfection of his great work but died

There is an extensive trout hatchery
at Achibal, one Of the gardens and
palaces built by the romantic Emperor
Jehangir, to shelter his beautiful be-
loved, MUIR Mahal. AS soon as the baby
trout are old enough they are put into
the streams inside the garden, and
when they have reached more sedate
age they are turned out of paradise
to chance their fate in the big river.
Fishing permits are hard to come by,
and the angler is only allowed to catch
very limited number of fish.
The eight springs which feed the
Achibal river are among the wonders
of KaShmir; there are four outside
the imperial garden and four within.
The water from these springs goes
out into all the countryside, bringing
verdure and happiness in its train. 1t
is most fascinating to watch the water
bubbling up mysteriously from the
heart of the rock. Crystal clear it
energies, moves for a while in q quiet
eddy, then hurls itself down the wa
tercourses with a rollicking, light
hearted insouciance which creates a
sense of envy in the onlooker.
Kashmir is an enchantress with
gifts for all. The artist finds it an
Elysian dwelling place, and cannot de-
eide whether dawn or sunset gives him
the more exquisite moments. When
spring comes with its wealth of wild
flowers, he thinks nothing could con-
tent him more, till the hand of autumn
touches the great chenar trees with a
glory of gold and crimson. The archie
ologist can explore innumerable
shrines and temples. The great ruin
of Martund alone might occupy him
many a day. How did this noble con-
ception of a temple, with it's elegant
land restrained austerity, come to be
built on a lonely Indian plain? Why
are the fluted pillars of the colonnades
so entirely Greek in design? Why
does the massive central temple re-
mind us of an Egyptian pylon?

WHY SEEK WEALTH?
RICH MAN MISERABLE CON-
PARED WITH POOR BOY.
Writer Enumerates Many Joys Which
the Latter Has at Command, and
Which Are Forbidden to the
Millionaire.

Many of the leading railroad pres
idents, corporation presidents, finan-
ciers, politicians and millionaires Of
today began life as poor boys. This
sentence sounds as though it had been
written before, and 1t probably has
been, a good many times. From now
on not so many of these worthless will
begin as poor boys. That wastes too
much time. The thing to do now is to
begin as rich boy and then work up,
says the San Francisco Bulletin.
But are the railroad presidents, cor
poration presidents, fnanciers, politi-
clans and millionaires who began as
poor boys any the happier because
they ceased to be poor boys? Do they
ever wonder as to the wisdom Of the
first choice at the first crossroads
leading toward wealth and fame?
They know that their lives have not
been model ones, even from the point
of view Of happiness. A poor boy has
many pleasures. He can steal apples.
He can go in swimming. He can play
ball. He can go to school. He can
have best girl. He can play Indian,
build wigwams in the woods, roast po-
tatoes in campfires, smoke cornsilk
cigarettes.
A railroad president or a million~
aire cannot have half so much fun.
He has his dignity, his business, his
money, his wife's social position, his
servants and his health to worry
about. BY the time he is successful
he is growing old and beginning to
have doubts as to the meaning and
value of life; his first fresh joy has
departed; sunrises and sunsets move
him no more, music cannot draw his
attention from the purposes which
have made him a monomaniac, and he
does not care to go barefoot or sneak
out with a jack o-lantern In the dark
of fall moon.
Everybody likes to think of John d.
Rockefeller saving his first hundred
dollars, but who likes to think of him
saving his last ten million dollars? 1t
is the beginning, not the climax, that
is romantic and charming for the oD-
server and, perhaps, for the man him
self. Power and wealth are not much
compared with the tine thrill in young
blood on a frosty October morning, or
even the soberer citation of an old
farmer looking westward over the
tops of the wheat on his quarter
section at shutdown.

but when a special occasion calls for
it the salute to Washington is the
same that is fired for the sleeping
Grant-twenty-on guns. This is a

men chop up the straw as food for

One of the chief industries is the ex-
port of timber. Great tree trunks, cut
in the extensive Kashmir forests, are
launched into streams tributary to
the Jhelum, and they float down the

Here they are retrieved in the shallow
water and sold at a fair profit. On

fish after fish like this, In unbelievable
numbers and at a marvellous pace.
Kashmiri fish, for the most part, are
not a popular food for Europeans, as
they taste like boiled cotton wool; but
the European trout, recently in
troduced into the rivers, would satisfy
the taste of the most critical gourmet.
