SORItoWS Or Tam EMPEROii
OT AUSTRIA,,
Truth of Shakespanse's Words:
"Uneasy Lies the Read That
Wears a Orowaa,
An old, lonely man, Seventy-two
years cif unrelenting tall have whit-
enedhis hair and bowed itis broad
shoulders, and it would almost seem
that: i ho malignant fates laid exhaus-
ted themselves in heapitlg catas-
trophes upon him. Yet be is king
and sovereign lord of a nighty em-
pire.
All the sweep; which princely blood
and var.-I: riches bring in their trnin
have been hlv fro t his youth up
.
Meth and women fawn upon hint; ser-
vants spend their lives in anticipat-
ing This slightest wish. 1To need only
give the word, and the ends of the
earth would be scoured to obtain for
him whatever it is in the power of
Man to desire. 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?"
"Only this, your worship," replied
the prisoner, who Was just as good-
leakirtg a young mattas one could

"that T em exceeding sorry, indeed,
that I was tuumecessful. When I

A 5111110 passed over the court, and

"Your Wers113p, if you don't mind,

EXPERIENCE W1.TI1 A .LION.
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

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

Doad's Kidney Pills Pirating Their
Way Into Every .Civilized

While Canadians are struggling to
get a firmer foothold in the British
markets, there is one Canadian pro-

AN ADOPTED MOTHER.
Arthur Allan was a very tender-
hearted little boy, and there were
tears in his eyes when the canto into
the kitchen one horning, carrying in
his arms a big brown hen which had
been tun over by, a lily -wagon and
killed.
"What will become of Brownie's
little chickens, mama?" he asked.
"They aro out under a currant -bush,
all 'peeping' for their mother."
Mrs. Allan )vent out in the gar-
den with Arthur to look at the pool'
little chickens. There were thirteen
of the yellow, fluffy little things,
and they wore only three days old.
"They mustn't die," said Arthur.
"I'll take care of them myself."
Ile brought a basket, and put all
the little chickens into it, then he
carried them off to nu empty oat -
bin in the barn, where there was
Plenty of room for them to run
about.
The next morning, when Mrs. Al-
lan went out to the barn to tell
Arthur to hunt for some eggs, she
stopped at the oat -bin to look at the
Indtherless little chickens, • There in
one corner of the bin hung the big
feather duster, and 'gathered under
it were all tho little chickens!
"1 thought the duster could be a
mother to them, mama," said Ar-
thur.
So!qrs. 'Allan int tho duster hang

chickens gathered under it until they
wore 0141 enough to roost on a bar.
EMBARRASSED WITH RICHES.
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.
Iyer vast wealth ofd the (ole:whhip
of an entire city make her a. likely
target for anarchists' bullets, and

WATCHES THE RAILS.
Machine Which Provides for Safe-
ty of Travellers.
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

Attractions for Sportsmen on the
Mine of the Grand Trunk,
The Urand Trunk Railway Company
has issued a handsome publication,
profusely illustrated with half -torso
engravings, descriptive of the many
aLtraetive localities for sportsmen on
their line of railway. Many of the
regions reached by the Grand 'Trunk
seem to have been specially prepared
for the delectation of mankind, and
where for a• brief period the cares of
business are cast aside and lite is
given up to enjoyment. Not only do
the "Ilighlands of Ontario" present
tmrivallcd facilities for both hunting,
fishing and camping, but the 30,000
Islands of the Georgian Bay-, Thou-
sand Islands and St. Lawrence hiv-
00, Rideau River and Lakes, Lake St.
John, and the many attractive lo-
calities in Afak10 and New Hamp-
shire, present equal opportunities for
health, pleasure and sport. All these
localities aro reached by the Grand
Trunk Railway System, and on
trains unequalled on the continent:
Abstracts of Ontario, Michigan, Que-
bec, New Hampshire and Melba fish
and game lawsare inserted in the
publication for the guidance of
sportsmen. The Grand Trunk Rail-
way has also issued descriptiveil-
lustrated matter for each district sep-
arately, which are sent free .on ap-
plication to the agents of the Coin-
pany and to Mr. J. D. McDonald.
