LAUNCELOT LEWIS' RIDE.
Journey of Six Hundred Miles Through Australia ,
I/A Si
1 In these days of records and record break
ers , It seems almost Impossible for any one
to win fame In a wholly new sphere. It Is
Improbable , however , that the record made
by Launcolot Ashley Lewis , son of John
Lewis , a well known stockman of Koorlnga ,
South Aurtralla , will ho beaten for many
years to come. His ride may he looked upon
us unique In the annals of Auitralaslan
travel.
Few lads of twclva summers would career
or dare to face a Journey of nearly 600 miles
through the Australian scrub , land over-
Erown with stunted trees , with no compan
ion but a couple of ponies and no guide but
his own Idea of locality and such direction
as he could obtain from an occasional camper
or from a bushman 'that ' ho chanced to meet.
Young Lewis , notwithstanding all these dif
ficulties , looked upon his trip In a very mat-

she gazes Intently at the speaker during
half the service , but she hears every word
ho says. Yesterday she took her cc.it In the
gallery and scattered lose leaves on rlio

and formal members of the congregation ,
and more than one has tried to restrain her
and keep her In dignified hounds ; but they

as a holiday Journey.
Early last January he decided to pay a
visit U > some friends living at Warrnanbool ,
Victoria. In such a case moat boys of that

und handed over to the conductor , who would

more daring stock. Ills father has on moro
than ono occasion made overland trips from
tl > o southern to the northern parls of the
Australian continent. The boy himself hav
ing had a thorough training In hush llfo and
horsemanship , concelvcU the bold plan ot
doing the long and lonely Journey of 'iTO
inllcB each way In true bush fashion , astride
his favorite pony with a pack pony by his
BilU1.
BilU1.He ai rived at Adelaide , Australia , from
Koorlnga , about January 20 and after loadIng -
Ing his park horse , proceeded via the Coor-
eng and southeastern towns to the border ,
thence to Portland. Port Kalry. and then
on to Warrnanbool. Ho covered the 570
miles In sixteen da > s of actual travel. His
Journey was only marked by two remark
able Incidents. In writing of his experi
ence young Lewis says : "I might mention
that the pony I rode was only 11 % hands
high. The Journey along the Coorong was
very louely. There are only two sheep sta
tions on the Coorong , a distance of nlnety-
ono miles. The only exciting experiences
I met were when traveling through a bush
fire between the Glcnclg river and Portland.
I traveled forty-four miles In ono day
through forest country and heavy sand.
' About midway I had to pass through about
. ! ' three miles of burning timber. It was the
i warmest tlmo I ever had.
"My pony Ilex carried mo splendidly nnd
was nulto 'rcsh on arriving home. Neither
of my ponies had a scratch or a hair off
them. I brought all my traps back with
mo and I had a most enjoyable trip. My
actual traveling tlmo was twenty-three
days , although I rented live days of this
time , so 1 suppote I really could say that
I traveled the whole distance In eighteen
days. "

On her arrival In Vienna little "Maja" was

her keeper , a woman , who remains with her
almost all the time and has taught her
many tricks. "Maja" han very cleanly

within the last few months has been made
acquainted with the most modern of out

Sponges are usually obtained by fishing for
them. When a sponging vessel arrives at
the fishing ground In the Bahamas It Is an
chored and the crew Immediately get ready
for work. Tbo sponge fisher's outfit con
sists of small boat called " "
a a "dingey , a
long hook und a water glass. The sponge
hook is a threo-pronged Iron fork attached
to 'the end of a very long pole ; the water
glocs Is simply a wooden water bucket with
n bottom of common window glass.
To use It the gjiwa bottom Is thrust Into
the water , the fisherman puts the ball
around bis neck and then buries his head
deep In the bucket to exclude the light.
Thcro are always > two men to each dingey ;
ono to act as "sculler" and the other as
"hooker. " While the sculler propels the
dingey along very slowly the hooker , in a
kneeling position , keeps his head In the
water glass , looking down In the water.
When a good sponge Is sighted the hooker
gives a signal and the dingey stops.
Together the sculler and hooker thrust the
sponge hook down through the water and
run It under the sponge ; the roots are thus
pulled loose from the rocks and soon the
game Is In the dingey. Thus the work goes
on until a boatload is obtained , and then
( hey are taken ashore and placed In crawls
to bo cured. Too crawls are buUt far stick-
Ing pieces of brush or staked Into the sand
Juit out of the water , or where It Is very
shallow.
They remain In the crawls whllo under
going maccrntlon nml the refuse Is carried
away In the ebb and How of the tide. Usually
they arc left In tbo crawls for a week ; then
the fishermen remove them nnd glvo them
n beating for the purpose of removing all
chonco of Impurities. After the beating they
nro thoroughly cleansed and are ready for
market.

"Harry , " said the teacher , "In your essay
on 'George Washington * you say that he
never went fishing. What authority have
you for making that assertion ? " "Why , "
replied Harry , "haven't we been taught that
ho never told a lie ? "
A little boy had been sent to the corner
grocery to get some eggs and on bin way
Sack ho dropped the basket containing
Ihcm. "How many did you break ? " asked
Ills mother. "Oh , I didn't break any , " he
replied , "but the hulls came off EOIUO of
them. "
"Nellie , dear. " said the Indulgent father
to his -1-year-old daughter , "If you like
your new dolly , you ought to como nnd put
your arms about my neck and glvo mo a
real nlco kiss. " Nelllo compiled , but as
she did so she remarked : "Ob , papa , I does

Of course It happened when there was
company present.
"Mother , " said Willie's elder sister , who
had been reading a nautical story , "what Is

"You bet I know , " broke In Wllllo vocif

An exchange says that a llttlo girl In
Hlllsdole , Mich. , petitioned the Lord for fair
weather and the next morning 'tho ' sun shone
bright and clear. She told of her prayer to
her grandmother , who said : "Well , now ,
why can't you pray tonight that It may be
warmer tomorrow so grandma's rheumatism
will bo better ? " "All right , I will , " was
the response , and that night as she knelt
she Incorporated this request In her llttlo
prayer : "Oh , God , make It hot for grand

The young king of Spain Is a bright boy.
The following anccdoto Is told about him
by the Madrid correspondent of the London
Telegraph : "Ono afternoon King Alfonso , on
roturnlng homo from a walk , ascended the
staircase and looked In vain for the officer
who should have been In command of the
royal guard on duty. The king called for an
adjutant and asked him the name ot the of
ficer on duty that day. 'It Is Captain X. ,
your majesty. ' 'Will you kindly remember
mo to Captain X. , then , and tell him I often
think ot him , though I have not had the
pleasure of seeing htm for quite a long
time. ' "
A llttlo girl , about 9 years of age , was
obllgxxl , for sorao tlmo , to endure the nag
ging annoyance of a maiden aunt , relates nn
exchange. The child puzzled her llttlo mind
as < to the best means of getting rid of her
tormentor and at last hit upon a plan which ,
she thought , would have the desired result.
She spent the whole of ono morning writ
ing a letter , and , having finished It , she
disappeared In the garden. In the course
of the afternoon her mother asked the
gardener what Allco.had been doing , and
was surprised to learn that she had dug a
deep hole and put a letter In It. A search
was made , and the following epistle was
discovered , addressed to the potentate ot
the nether regions at his ofllcl.il residence :
"Dear Mr. Satan Will you kindly come and
take away Aunt Jane ? She Is a very fussy
person , and does worry mo so. Alice. "

Marlon Crawford says of himself : ' Most
of my boyhood was spent under a French
governess. Not only did I learn that lan
guage from her , but all of my studies geography
graphy , arithmetic , etc. were taught mo In
French , and I learned to wrlto It with great
readiness as a mere boy , because It was the
language of my dally tasks. The consequence
quence la that to this day I wrlto French
with the ease of English. "
George W. Smalley , the American tory
who Is now correspondent In this country for
the London Times , had no greater trial dur
ing the war with Spain than the humiliation
of having his dispatches passed upon by
Grant Squires , General Grccly's assistant
censor. When Mr. Sraalley was receiving
$15,000 a year as London correspondent of
the New York Tribune Squires was making
$7 a week as a reporter for that paper.
Lord Wolsfloy , who Is at the head of the
English nrmy , Is a very busy man. One day
ho Is In Scotland , < the next day reviewing the
troops In Yorkshire , then In London Inspect
ing the volunteers , a day or two after wit
nessing n night attack at Chatham and tor
pedo trials at Sheerness , and then with the
cadets at Sandhurst. The commander-ln-
chlef's apparent youthfulness makea people

been actively employed In the army for
forty-six years.
Mr. Curzon's term as viceroy of India will
last five years. His salary Is about $100,000
a year , with all expenses paid by the govern
ment , and ho Is expected to live In great
magnificence. This salary nnd perquisites
seem small compared with the Incomes of
three of 'tho ' native princes who are allies of
Great Britain , and each has $15,000,000 a
year. The office of Indian viceroy Is one
of great power and great responsibility.
While the late Lord Lytton was hated for
his tyranny nnd exactions , Lord nipon ,
whom Mr. Curvon succeeds , was Idolized by
the people , who are a grateful people when
well treated.
Durham Whlto Stevens , upon whom has
brcn conferred the Japanese decoration of
the Second Order of > the Illslng Sun , had
previously received two other decorations
from the Japanese government. His ac
quaintance with Japan began In 1873 , when
ho was appointed secretary of the United
States legation at Toklo. In 1884 ho received
the third-class decoration of the Order of
the Illslng Sun. In 1895 ho received the sec
ond-class decoration of the Order of the
Sacred Treasure for services rendered dur
ing the Japanese-Chinese war , and In con
nection with the conclusion of the new treaty
between Japan and the United States.
The Sirdar of the Egyptian array , says an
English paper , once had a very extraor
dinary experience , having swallowed a bullet
with which he had been wounded , and which
ho now preserves as a memento. During
the campaign of 1888 Major Kitchener was
hit In the sldo of the face by a bullet during
n skirmish near Suaklm , and was taken
down the Nile nnd thence to the Citadel
hospital at Cairo , where , despite nil the
efforts of the surgeons , the bullet could not
bo located. The wound was a healthy ono
and soon healed , and the medical officers
came to the conclusion that the bullet had
worked Its way out , without being noticed ,
on the passage down the Nile. The major's
nurse one day tempted his patient's ap
petite with a tasty beefsteak , which tn
major had no sooner attacked than he p it
his hand to his throat , exclaiming : "Dllton ,
If there was no bone In that steak. I've
swallowed that bullet. I felt It go down , "
This proved to be the case.

Again fate has dealt a heavy blow to the
houses of Hapsburg and WIttelsbach , add
ing another sorrow to that heavy burden
which has borne down to despair the ancient
rulers of Austria and Kavarla. The spirit
of tragedy seems to have marked them for
Ita own and to have played with them In
order to drive Ita lessons deep Into the
hearts of men. The fate of the empress
of Austria Is but the climax of a life over
flowing with heartburning and tragedy.
Chief of the recent tragedies of the house
of Hapsburg , relates the New York Her
ald , was the supposed suicide In 1SS9 of the
Archduke Kudolf Krancls Charles Joseph ,
son of the empeior nnd heir to the throne ,
the ono on wnorn nil the hopes of the im
perial house hail rested. This affair Is now
known as the Mcycrllng dratpa. Several
versions of the tragedy have been given out ,
but the facts In the case probably never will
bo known to any ono outside the royal
house.
The archduke was deeply Infatuated with
the charms or the Baroness Vetcera , a beau
tiful young girl , who returned his love. He
wished to bo united to her by morganatic
marriage , but his father would not allow
It. On the evening of January 20 the arch
duke met the baroness In a gamekeeper's
house , not far from the castle of Moyerllng.
In the morning both were found dead ,
lying side by side. It was asserted that the
baroness had taken poison and that the
prince had shot himself.
Another story Is to the effect that a for
ester went to the house where the prince
was staying In order to ask the game keeper
for some Instructions regarding the hunt
that was to take place. Ho knocked loudly
at the door. A window was opened and a
man jumped out nnd ran away. The for
ester aimed and fired. The fugitive fell , and
when the forester walked up to him he rec
ognized , to his horror , the crown prince ,
who had fainted. The shot had entered
the prince's shoulder , The forester called for
help , and , with the assistance of a man who
ran to his aid , carried the prince Into the
gamekeeper's house.
The baroness , ceclng the prlnco In a faint
and bleeding from a wound , Imagined that
he was dead. She Immediately took up her
traveling bag and pulled out a phial. Ilcforo
she could bo prevented she drank Its con
tents nnd fell dead upon the floor.
Soon afterward the crown prince came to
and was taken by his own orders to the
castle of Jleyerllng. Hero ho ordered his
valet from the room Into which ho had been
carried , and hero ho placed a pistol to his
head and fired a fatal shot.
Letters of the prince and of the baroness ,
found after the tragedy tend to dlspiove
tbls version , and Indicate a premeditated
sulcldo on the part of both parties. Then
thtro were several witnesses who declared
that they had seen the bodies of the prince
nnd the baroness lying side by side Immedi
ately after the tragedy.
Another hlory of < luAfTnlr. .
A roan by the name of Johann Tranquileln ,
known by the sobriquet ot "Baron Scbau , "
who died on Ward's Island after a career of
dissipation In the United States , asserted
that ho drove the crown prlnco to Meyerllng
on the day of the tragedy , and told a very
different story of the prince's death , Ho
said that ho drove the prlnco and a Jolly
party of friends to Meyerllng. No women
were In the party.
Supper was served In the castle of Meyer-
ling , and during the festivities Baroness
Yetccra suddenly made her entrance Into the
supper room nnd with Hashing eyes asked
the prlnco If It was true that he had re
nounced her. The prince , after a silence ,
answered that bis father would allow no
further relations between himself and the
baroness. The latter then drew a revolver
and llrcd at Kudolf.
The ball wounded him but slightly , and he
caught the Infuriated woman In his arms.
She managed , houe\er , to turn the pistol
against herself and Indicted a mortal wound
A relative of the baroness then sprang up
and brought a champagne bottle with all his
might upon the head of rho prince , who sank
upon the floor und died. The lovers were j
then laid aide by side upon a couch , and all
the witnesses to the scene were sworn to
secrecy.
The court , of course , hubhed up the affair
as much as possible , and to the story of the
prince's taking off has never been authorita
tively told.
Another crt/el / blow to the Hapsburcs was

Ciononil Sir Kvclyn Wood says : "lie-
Rurtllng the Infantry iimi'dilng , it was

the death of Maximilian I of Mexico , who
gave up the command of the emperor's navy
In order to found an Imperial throne. The
o\erthrow of the alien ruler and his execu
tion by those whom ho had tried to subdue
are matters of history. Added to this was
the Insanity of his wife , the Empress Carlotta -
lotta , and the scandal attaching to the
spending of her fortune by another royal
personage- .
The disappearance of the Archduke John
after ho had contracted a marriage with a
pretty llttlo Austrian singer was another
cause of grief. Ho had been one of the bril
liant members of the Hapsburg family , but
his waywardness led to the taking away of
hlh titles. Ho would not ) bow to the em
peror , and finally , when ho had been ban
ished from the court , ho bought a merchant
vessel and started out In life ( or himself.
The vessel Is supposed to hnvo been lost
at sea.
( liuirrol With Archduke.
A kindred soul was Archduke Henry ,
youngest non of the late Archduke Rainier ,
viceroy of Lombardy. Ho was a general
In the army , and whllo stationed at Gr.itz I
ho made the acqualntnce of Franleln Hot- ' 1
mann , a singer at the theater , with a j i
monthly salary of 50 florins. She was by
no means a great singer. Her last role was
that of Pamela , In "Fra Dlavolo. " But she
was pretty , quick wilted , the very type of
n. Viennese girl , nnd , above nil , Irreproach
able In her conduct and manner.
The archduke paid court to her , and when
ho was obliged to take the field In Italy ho
promised that ho would marry her If his llfo
was spared , and this promise he faithfully
kept. The emperor stormed , fumed and
did all In his power to reclaim thq prodigal ,
but all his efforts were In vain. Archduke
Henry had vowed to bo true to Frnulcln
Hofmnnn , and not all the powers In Chris
tendom could persuade him to abandon her.
All Francis Joseph could do was to de
prive the archduke of his military rank and
expatriate him. The marriage took place on
February , 1808 , and not until 18S9 did the
emperor show any signs of relenting. In
the latter year he allowed the archduke to
present his wlfo nnd daughter to him , and
thus the family quarrel was ended.
The troubles of the Imperial house were
enlarged after the death of Prince Hudolph
by the difficulty Of finding a successor to
the emperor. Charles Louis , his brother ,
was regarded as weak , morally and Intel
lectually , though endowed with low cun
ning. Ho did not seem the ono that could
grasp the problems Of the Austro-Hungar-
ian empire. He resigned his claims In favor
of his son Francis Ferdinand , however , and
thus removed ono embarrassment only
to bring on another , for Francis Ferdinand ,
It Is feared , Is Ignorant , deficient alike In
heart and head. Scandal has followed him
throughout Austria and Hungary.
In Spain bos been found another cause for
gloom. There the queen regent , daughter
ot the Archduke Charles Ferdinand , a cou
sin of the Emperor Francis Joseph , has
been compelled to see the fairest portion of
the heritage of her eon taken away and has
lived In fear that the Spnlah people them
selves would arise against her and sweep
her and her child from all power.
Thcso are some of the things which em
bittered the days of Francis Joseph and
which brought lrto the life of the Empress
Elizabeth much of the sorrow which weighed
her down In her late years.
