But he does not crave the luxuries and glory of this world. One thing only ho desires— (lenth. Such a men is 1•'rauz Josef, Em- peror of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary, Icing of Pdiemia, of Dalmatia, of Croatia, of Jerusalem, and the bearer of over a hundred tit- les ranging front emperor Lo count, and ruler of forty millions of sub- jects, From the ago of eighteen, the high- est destiny man can be called upon to fulfil has been his. Iron a school he went to fill a throne; but the ]tingly crown has proved a chap- let of thorns, and the gilded thorne surely the most uncomfortable of resting -places. FRANZ JOSEF'S LIFE has boon one long tragedy, and he, more than any other living men, must apprerintu the sinister truth of Shalcespeltre's words, 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." In himself the most reckinss of brave men, nothing but defeat has been his lot in battle. At Sollerino, Sadowa, Naehod, and a long list of other places, nothing but humiliation and disaster met his forces. And who but one born anct bred a soldier can know the full bitterness of this? Iie has tried harrier than any other ruler to govern his country wisely and well; but on all sides nothing but basest ingratitude and foulest insult, and, when possible, the most open defiance, have met him. And who but a king can ]snow the sharp anguish of this? lay nature he is an intensely do- mestic ratan; but here again life has held notching far him mccopt heart- breaking sorrow. His wife has fal- len a victim to an assassin. His firstborn son died by his own hand, after causing him unutterable misery for fifteen years. Another son, as the result of a quarrel :lith his fa- ther, renounced his rank, and wont to sea as a common sailor, never to be heard of again. Isis daughters and other feminine relatives have caused hint UNSPEAKABLE SORROW by disobeying line, and even. flagrant- ly ignoring the common convention- alities of life. And who but a father, the head of an Imperial house, can know the sharp sadness of this? And yet he appears to have done little to deserve so much of sorrow. In spite of every temptation to sur- render himself to a life of luxury and ease, Franz Josef always fared as simply as the poorest of his subjects whlle it is certain that he has work- ed much harder than any of them in trying to do his duty. But in seek- ing the bread of his country's love the has bitten upon the sharp stone Of ingratitude, and this must be his lot til] the end comes. Poor, lonely old rant It is given to few to know the blazing glory, of a mighty throne; -but to fewer still comp the bitter dregs of such despair and misery as you have known. . Life, they say, has its com- pensations; but bate is a frolic, and has laughed at you in bitterest ir- ony. She has poured every luxury into your hands, and left your heart empty of the barest comforts. The poorest and most needy of your sub- jects need not envy you your place, far there is none but you that has not someone's love and trust. Arid yet his death, which Franz Josef so ardently desires, will as- suredly shake lDutopo to its founda- tions when it occurs. Tho succes- sion to the throne is in dispute, the subjects are in revolt, and the neighboring Powers look with greedy eyes upon the territory. But the poor old man heeds not the glower- ing signs. All he wants is the rest which death alone can give. CHANGED HElt MIND. The young man had be6n summon- ed for assault, and after the ohargo had boon read over to him the mag- istrate, who was a somewhat porn - mete individual said severely : "Young man, the charge against yeti is that you tried to kiss -'this young lady against her will, What havo you to say for ,yourself?"

Lions, It seems, take to man-eat- ing only as a means of self-defence, or when they become too old to be a. match for'the wild prey, the flavor of which they so much prefer. 01d hunters declare that they never knew a lion really to "stalk" a man; that, ns n rale, they rather 'turn up their noses' at civilized flesh, and are more or loss easily diverted from the scent, In "Days and Nights by the Desert" Parker Gilmore tells tis of a trick lie once played on ono of diose '— animate. IMANITOULIN CAIS "I was hunting ostrjolton," he says, "At a heed In the ravine the bird disappeared, and I was about to fol- i low it, when, by tho merest chance, 1 looked behind me, and to my sur- prlso and horr0l' saw that a large Bon was not over seveety yards be- hind o-hind me, and evidently stalking me as carefully as I had been stalking Ibo bird.

About twenty rods behind me were a few ragged bushes. Behind these the lion had taken shelter, and was keeping a careful survey upon my every movement. Darkness' was rap- idly melting on when I :,lipped from my seat and dropped dawn to the ledge. Instantly I slipped all my coat and hung it on the muzzle of 'ray musket, and shoved It up over the eemer lodge where I had so lately been sitting. "scarcely was this done when my coat was torn array and my tun hurled to the bottom of the gully. But they did not go alone.

While Canadians are struggling to get a firmer foothold in the British markets, there is one Canadian pro- duct that has got away ahead of the agitation and now measures its mar- ket from the Baltic -washed shores of the Denmark to where the sun glints off the pyramids in the land of the Pharoalhs, 'That purely Canadian product is Dodd's Kidney Pills. Among the letters that come in the daily mail of The Docll's Medi- cine Co., Limited, there are those marked with the stamps of almost every country in the world.

Heiress of the Krupp Millions Has Many Worries. It is one of the grim ironies of fate that a young girl, barely of age, ehou)d be in a sense responsible for the bloodshed in the struggle be- tween Russia and Japan, owing to the fact that she supplied both pow- ers with practically all of their guns. TJfe ,young woman in question is Miss Krupp, who, on the death of her father, became chief , proprietor of the world-faitted Krupp Works, at Essen, Gernitny, and likewise be- came the wealthiest, woman in .the world. The heiress seeh's to have inherited some of the fainiiy capacity for in- dustrial organization, for she takes the gr'entest,.prido and delight in su- pervising the work of the different departments, and declares that at sone future time she will have gait- ed sufficient experience to take anac- tive part in the direction of affair's. ;Meanwhile her interference In busi- ness matters is limited to passive supervision, but she Lakes a more active part in controlling the man- agement of the numerous auxiliary, departments of the establishment. The schools for the children of hor employes and the hospitals for the care of the sick receive regular visits from her, and she has a sharp eye for defects of all ldnds. Knowing human nature, it is hard- ly surprising to find that Miss Krupp's employes do not appreciate hor good qualities, and charitable ways.. Living in Hiss Krupp's hous- es, sending their children to the schools, applying to her hospitals when they ortheir families are sick, attending her churches, drinking beer in her restaurants, buying meat from her slaughter 7loesos, dour from her mills, bread from her bakeries, and hats and clothes from hor stores make thorn feel that they aro her sects, and not free -horn laltotors, Mise Keupp's charitable disposition teas heeolle known to the general public in Germany, with the result that she receives on an average, over n0 purely begging .letters a day, and over 150 letter's daily en,. treating her to grant some position in the works to some Worthy, young man, She also has to undergo some of the lneonvonienees which are general- ly confined to emperors and kings.

American railroad development has reached the point where 11 ratan can sit comfortably in a private Ser a•ei sec recorded on paper before 111.2.1 every imperfection of the rails over which he is. riding, says Wu.'ud s Wok. Twenty year's ago, n n•5,:k wt,lkee with, a hammer trumped the cross -ties to find out this same thing. Tho track walker's work and much more is now done by the dy0Ograph, a mechanism which not only records the deviations the rails make from a straight and level line, but auto- )naticelly computes these deviations in feet and inches. It is the inven- tion of Dr. P. II. Dudley. The in- vention is atthclle(1 to his private ear, which has been his hone for fifteen year's. The dynograph tests roils. It is a machine 43 inches high and looks like a )land printing press. It makes records on the roll of paper attached to the machine, made througih power gained from the rolling of the wheels of the car over the track. The paper is unrolled by a shaft attached to the axle of the car. The paper is thus moved slow- ly as the car travels. Suspended over the paper are a number of glass tubes, each containing red inlc. They are really glass needles that makes a continuous mark on the paper. There is one needle for ,each track, one for the gauge of the rails, an- other to measure the distance the car is travelling. These needles aro all connected, first, by shaft attach- ed to the side, and then by delicate mechanism attached to tho shaft. If the car is travelling over a perfect level track, these glass needles make a straight line. If there is an undu- lation in the track of a fraction of an inch, the sensitive mechanism wavers, and the line becomes broken. Since no track is perfectly level, the record for the hest road -bed in Am- erica is wavering. When the undulation or break in the level of the track is one-eighth of an inch or more, the mechanism opens a hose attached to a can of blue paint on the tracks, the paint is splurted on the rail and the de- fect is thus plainly marked for the section gangs. Every Lime the paint RACE DONE ? Not a Bit of I':. A man who thought, 'cis raco was run made a food 11nd that brought him back to perfect health.
