On the other hand they were the chief
heirs of the last Bourbon King of France,
and as such inherited the wonderful cha
teau of Chambord, scene Of the exploits of
King Francis I and Diane de Poitiers and
other famous characters.
The Emperor Charles in his boyhood was
promoted rather unexpectedly to the posi-
ton of heir to the throne. He was born
the son of younger nephew of the EN-
peror. First the old Emperor's only son
was murdered. Then the Emperor's next
heir, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, made a
morganatic marriage and his children
could not inherit the throne. Then the
next brother Archduke Otto, father of
Charles, behaved so wildly that he had to
be put in a sanitorium. In 1914 Franz
Ferdinand was assassinated and young
Charles became heir.
Austrian court gossip has given every
detail of the romantic courtship of Charles
and Zita. He met her first at court ball
In the Hofburg at Vienna and fell deeply
In love. He courted her at her fathers
castle OF Schwarzau, after the manner OF
ordinary mortals, and neighboring peasants
were delighted to see the young Archduke
and Princess strolling down the leafy lanes
hand in hand. ZIG
They were married, and after their first
baby was born the young Archduke sur
prised the populace by pushing the baby
carriage through the streets. This practice
he kept up, after he became Emperor.
when new arrivals came to join his family.
He has had two children during the war.
The EmIoess was also remarkable for
her domestic accomplishments. When she
was first married her husband served as
captain in the army and had only a small
income. az the heir to the throne, Arch
duke FranS Ferdinand, was still alive.

by q former member of the United
States diplomatic service reveals an
extraordinary quarrel between the ex-Em-
peror Charles of Austria and his wife, the
sx-Empress Zita.
The news dispatches have already re.
ported that Charles would seek divorce
from his wife. Whether complete divorce
ls contemplated is seriously open to ques.
ton, as both the fallen Emperor and his
wife have always been devout Catholics
and are descendants of the most ancient
Catholic families in Europe. 1t may be
that only formal separation will take
place.
In any case it is certain that grave
dissension has occurred between the young
couple. There have been hard and angry
words and fearful scenes at their country
retreat. Perhaps before this appears the
1rrevocable separation will have happened
Now, this quarrel is a most extraordi-
nary occurrence, because the imperial
couple were up to few months ago the
most conspicuously affectionate and de.
voted pair among all the royal families of
Europe. Indeed their simple happiness
and delight in one another's society would
have been notable in any walk Of life
The facts behind the rupture have never
been made public and they are OF nature
TO give extraordinary interest to the report
OF the divorce. To summarize them briefly
1t may be recalled that letter from the
Emperor to his brother-in-law, Prince
Sixtus of Bourbon-Parma, serving in the
Belgian army, appeared in March, 1918,
making very urgent plea for peace with
France. The letter excited great indigna-
ton In Austria and Germany, and it was
said that Charles would have to abdicate
his throne for his weakness
Charles then declared that he did not
write the letter, but only few words and
that his mother-in-law, the Duchess of
Bourbon-Parma, unknown to him, added
the rest of the letter above his signature.
The Duchess was forced to leave Austria.
and Charles saved his throne for the time
being.
Now the war being over and the throne
lost, the Empress demands that her hus.
band shall retract the aspersion cast on
her mother. On his side, the Emperor in
sists that his explanation of the letter was
the true one and that he will retract
nothing. Hence the bitter and apparently
hopeless difference between them.
Thus the ancient mother-in-law problem
In somewhat novel form has entered an
imperial home and wrecked the most
fdyllic love match among the royal fam
lilies of Europe!
Soon after his succession to the throne
IN 1916 it became evident that the Emperor
was earnestly DESTROYS of securing peace
A long list of peace notes issued by his
government during the war proves this.
The Emperor was deeply distressed by the
ravages of hunger among his people, who
suffered worse than any other inhabitants
OF the Central Empires and he labored per-
nr,o IN

Charles would have to abdicate.
But the Emperor was not ready to give
up his throne and would not "stand for"
the letter. An official statement was given
out by Count Czernin, the AustroHun.
garian Foreign Minister, in which he de.
clared that the Emperor's letter was falsi.
fed and that His Majesty had written
nothing which could be read as an admis-
sion of the justice of frances claims.
1t was then explained semi-officially that
the letter as published was mainly written
by the Emperors motherin-law. the
Duchess of Parma, a woman who had
strong sympathies with the Latin coun-
tries and exercised great influence over
her son-inlaw, her daughter and the whole
court. In fact, she was true mother-in-
law. but upon imperial scale.
The detailed explanation was that the
Emperor had written and signed few
sentences expressing irreproachably virtu-
GUS general sentiments about peace and
that mother-in-law inserted the long pas
sages about vexed questions. It will be
seen in examining the letter that some
passages are distinctly innocuous. while

ALL HUMANITY MUCH ALIKE
Only In Early Life Does the Average
Man Imagine He 10 Different
From Others.

One Of the great discoveries that
come to us as we advance In life is tie
fact that deep down in the human
heart all men are alike. In early life
we think we are different from the
rest of the world, but as years go by
we find that this Is not so, that other
men have the same hopes and aspira-
lions, the same troubles and anxieties,
the same yearnings after happiness
and peace. We learn this from our
friends, from those who tell us their
troubles and ask for sympathy and ad-
vice. Then we learn Ii from books;
from the works Of great poets and
writers, and especially from biogra-
phies and autobiographies.
AS a child / was sensitive and shy,
and felt that was peculiar In this re-
spect, and different from the others,
who always seemed TO take themselves
for granted. And yet have discov-
cred that this Is the universal lot of
all men. @. Stanley Hall speaks Of
a newly revealed and grave danger
that works countless tragedies In life
that the child's feelings of inferiority
should become dominant and make him
feel In his earliest years that he Is
condemned TO low level of existence,
without respect. appreciation, admira-
ton or love-" Thus the chronic teaser
or hector may do great mischief to the
tender soul of the child. The child Is
always asking himself snbconsciously.
do I look worse or better than
othersr
This tendency lasts with most men
all their lives. We are all the time
comparing our lot with that OF others.
As Emerson says: EVERY ship looks
romantic except the one we ure on"
and again. Every mans life seems to
him covered with the slime of failure
and defeat, while that of others seems
ideal" It Is great help to know that
men are alike In this respect. l could
give q long list of well-known men and
women who suffered from this sense of
inferiority, incapacity and defeat, fol-
lowed by moods Of gloom and melan-

TAI SHAN A SACRED FlscE
Chinese Mountain Said. to Be the
Oldest Permanent Place Of
Worship on Earth.

There are FIVE sacred mountains In
China. and the most sacred of all is
Tai Shan. the Great mountain. said to
be the oldest permanent place OF wor-
ship In the world. In 1000 B. G. Tai
Shan's crest had been regular scene
of sacrifices and prayers for nobody
knew how long Emperors and lesser
officials. even Confucius the Wise,
journeyed up the long, narrow trail OF
Tai Shan to come near to the God OF
Heaven and Earth and made their
prayers before Him.
Since those days of simple worship.
many temples and shrines have been
built on Tai Shan's slopes. Buddhism.
Taoism, Confucianism. all are repre-
scented. and there are temples, too, to
the Lady of the Mountain who Is
called by some a fairy. by others a
goddess. and by others the spirit
or soul of the mountain. Whatever
her character, the lady is well repre-
sented on her mountain top and her
shrines are popular.
The journey up the mountainside is
accomplished by the traveller partly In
swinging chair supported by Chinese
bearers and partly on foot. The "Way"
consists Of granite walk, interrupted
every little while by flights Of steps
which stretch on and on and become
sleeper and closer together until the
pilgrim has mounted 5000 steps and
the peak of Tai Shan Is reached.
Here there are more temples and
thick incense and grave old priests
who announce a pilgrims presence to
the gods by ringing deep-toned bells.
A little way Off is pointed out rock
overhanging sheer precipice. From
this rock, called '"rhe Rock8of the Love
Of Life" persons who had sick rela-
tives used to fling themselves, hoping
that the sacrifice of one life would
appease the gods so that the other
would be spared. Now the dangerous
cliff is barred. and pilgrims are forced
to appeal to the gods In the conven-
tional Chinese methods.

soIId Heat.

Another Of the problems that our
army in France disposed of in a prac-
tical way was the supplying of fuel
for heating and cooking purposes In
the trenches. Solidified alcohol filed
the bill because It was safe, conven.

odor or smoke. AS result OF the de-

uses must be found for the vast out
