She witt well known in England! and Ireland, where she made many friends especially among sportsmeu and sportswomen. During the hunting season, when she was over here, she used to stay at .Hie poorest country inns. She rather preferred humble quarters and disliked fuss. On one occasion, when she had bespoken rooms nt a rather smart seaside hotel, the manager thought to "do tlie thing liandsomely," so decorated the suite of apartments with exquisite roses. When the lady-in-waiting arrived to prepaire for the Empress about an hour in advance she was stricken with horror and exclaimed: "For heaven's Kike, take away all these llowers! Her majesty cannot endure flowers, especially roses!" So all hands had to set to work and get the unlucky decorations out of the way before the royal visitor appeared. I had this story from a young lady who was staying in tlve hotel. Another characteristic anecdote which the press has not got hold of is the following, -Which was told by one who was present. It dates back to the palmy days of the beautiful Em press, when she was yet fidl of the "joie de vivre." A circus visited Vi enna, and gave a special "command performance" before the Empress and court. After it was over, Elizabeth sent for the ringmaster and question ed him about a certain wonderful equestrienne, who was placarded as "the finest 'horsewoman in the wortd, and whose feats had sent the noble audience in ecstacies of applause. "Is she really the best living rider?" asked the Empress. "Absolutely, your Majesty." "Then listen to me," said the fair autocrat, "and mind you keep my secret. You are to have this place ready tomorrow morning, and keep all the doors shut. I will come down with one or two ladies only not Viennese, you may he sure! and if you will lend me Mile. X's horses, I will do all that she has done, and more." She w:as obeyed, of course, and she" duly arrived, wrapped in a long ulstre, which, being removed, showed a black costume consisting of ballet skirts and tights. Of her two companions, one was a Frenchwoman, who relates that the exhibition which followed was marvelous. The Em- J. A. VANCE, M. D. Of the American School of Osteopathy, TRES1DENT. CHARLES W.

X's programme, but added several daring feats of her own. invention, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the amazement of her observers, includ ing tlie ringmaster. Wlicii she bad finished, she asked him: "You must own now that your young lady ;'h not the finest ruler in the world. You must not put that statement in. the bills anymore." "But, madnme though wliat you say is true may I remind you that this girl works for her daily bread " pleaded tho man. "The statement to which you object is part of her stock in trade. May we not continue -to print it?" "No," said Elizabeth firmly, "because it would not be true. But you may say she is the finest circus rider in the world. You see I am not a eSrcus ridlor unfortunately!" She added this wHJi a deep sigh, and the look of triumph faded from her face. Poor woman! She met disillusion very early. It is an open secret that her husband's weakness where wo men were concerned embittered her marriage from tlie first. It seems harsh to recall this now, sliuce the monarch 'has long since Sown his wJCd oats and has suffered so cruelly; nev ertheless truth must be toih Her own purity was Arctic. Those who knew her best said that no man was ever able to obtain the shadow of in fluence over her. There were several passionate scenes with young nobles about the court; but she crushed them under her feet like so many but terflies. One man she Caused to be sent 'to a post abroad. Her strict views caused her to feel intense an guish ait tlie escapades of her un happy son, Rudolph. She well knew that he was not fit to be married; and during the ceremony she broke down, sobbing a most unusual weakness. By the way, his child, the little Arch duchess Elizabeth, who is now fifteen years old, has always been devoted to her. At the time of the Empress's murder she was staying alone at the Castle of Luxemburg; and the Em peror, knowing how acutely she would feel the blow, gave orders th.it the news should be kept from her un til her mother could get to her and console her. You know the legend of the white laxly of Hapsburg the special ances tress who always comes to give warn ing when one of the ill-fated houe is albbut to meet wiuh a sudden and tragic death. She was seen in 18G7, be fore the execution of the emperor's brother, Maximilian; again, in 'SO, just previous to the suicide of Rudolph. She preceded the news that the ex Archduke John had been lost at sea; and she "was again seen1 before lhe aw ful end of the poor little archduchess, who was burned to death through
