A . er the openoair life to which she had been accustomed. reconciled to it.

She preferred Budapest and Hungary. where the restrictions were in the woods, and FELL VIOLENTLY 1N LUVb‘ with her at once. On finding out that she, too, was a daughter of the Duke. he insisted that she should be his wife. and had his will in spite of his mother's ohjections. ’ . ,1 ' 1837. She was therefore in her sixty- 'first year. Late into middle life she was held to be one of the most beauti- ful women in Europe. and she was particularly proud of her long hair. falling to the ground. which she was fond of wearing loose. even on public occasions. She was but a few months over 16 years of age, when she was married to the Emperor Franz Josef. in April. 1854. A romantic story is told of the marriage, which, on the Emperor’s part at least, was a love match. His mother. the Archduch- ess Sophia. had decided that he should marry the eldest daughter of Duke Maximilian. who subsequently became Princess Thurn und Taxis. and Franz Josef. who throughout his life hast been an easy-going man. was ready to comply with her wishes. He therefore, visited his future fatherâ€"in-law pre- paratory to the announcement of the engagement. but. before meeting his destined bride, caught sight of. a young girl. hardly more than a child. in the woods. and 3 Her father was Maximilian Joseph, phead of the Birkenfeld-Zweibrucken i branch of the family. which before the gFrench revolution ruled as independ- Eent sovereigns over a small fragment 'of German territory. Since that time fits lands have remained incorporated gin the kingdom of Bavaria, while the j family has retained its royal rank, its émembers being entitled Dukes and ‘Duchesses in Bavaria, in Baiern. It swas so far removed from the succes- ; sion to the throne that Duke Maximi- i lian was able to give his children a sensible and unroyal education in . the country. so that nearly all of them, as they grew up, showed char- éacter and independence and a readi- 3‘ ness to do things that other princes 5 do not generally do. The Empress’s ieldest brother is Duke Karl Theodor, who, after studying as A PHYSICIAN AND AN OCULIST. ‘ has established a private hospital on! the Tegernsee, and has the reputation; of being one of the best oculists liv-! ing. Another brother gave up his? rights to the succession in order to! marry the woman he loved. One sis-g ter was the plucky ex-Queen of Nap-J les. who tried to make a man of thei imbecile Francis 11., another was the! Duchesse d'Alencon. who perished in' the Bazar de Charite fire in the Rueii Jean Gonjon at Paris last year, andi who, when a girl, refused to become Queen of Bavaria by marrying Lud-g wig II. ’ The murdered Empress was the secâ€"y ond daughter of Duke Maximilian.’ and was born on Christmas eve ofi Europe for the persistent efforts she has made to avoid the official duties and functions pertaining to her posi- tion. and to lead her own life in her cusations of eccentricity against her. and at times to suspicion as to her sanity. which was strengthened by the fact that she was a member of the Wittelsbach family. in which insanity has broken out repeatedly, the two best known cases of late years being the late King Ludwig II. and the present mad King Otto. sm- Wedded Franz Josef When She Years 0m, Was a Beautiful Woman and the Emperor Was ”owned to llrrâ€"V ume to In Willa Public .‘fl'alrs.

Pius IX. collected $10,000,000, and that was looked upon as a large sum. But Leo is said to have acquired twice as much for the Vatican. The greater part of the money is said to be de- posited in the Bank of England. and the remainder rests in various other European banks. It is said that the Holy See is now free from debt. the few obligations remaining at the‘ death of Pius IX. having been settled! by Leo. The annual budget of the Vatican is said to show a yearly sur- plus. How much of the money collected by Leo XII]. was given to him for his personal benefit and. how much for the Holy See is not known. The value of personal presents made to him since he came to the Papal throne is said. however. to exceed $10,000,000; and the objects are so.numerous as to constitute a collection worthy to be placed in a museum.

Her favorite poet was Heine; she had a monument to him erected on the grounds of her Achilleion when one German town after another was refusing to do him that honor. Besides speaking well the languages of civilized Europe, she was said to be able to speak all the ton- gues found in the babel of the Aus- troâ€"Hungarian monarchy, and when well past middle life, thinking to live on a Greek island, she took up the {ittudy of Greek and learned to speak 1 . . v- v ‘1-an five miles a day. This the doctors al- so stopped this spring. and a few weeks ago it was announced that the rheumatism from which she suffered was incurable and must lead to her death within a few months.

It is a pleasant diversion on ship board to hear the officer of the watch strike the bells on the bridge and to hear them answered by the bells in the fo’c’s’e, and all over the ship. I On ship board abell is struck every half hour. The day, beginning at mid- night, is divided into two watches of four hours, except the watch from {our to eight p.m., which is divided into two dog watches. A full watch thus consists of eight half hours and its progress is noted. by the number of strokes on the bell. For instance. be- ginning at midnight, the end of a watch, the bell is struck eight times; half past twelve is one hell. one o’clock is two bells, half past one o'clock is three bells, two o’clock is four bells. three o’clock is six bells, four o'clock is eight bells again, and so on. The bells, except the odd bells, are struck in pairs, thus: Three bells are struck clang-clang, clans. Four bells ar'e struck, cl‘ang-clang, clang-clang.
