THE HISTORIC SCHOENBRUNN.
Austria's Royal Palace the Seen* of
Many Dramatio Events.
Less than three miles southwest of
the Kings txasse, which surrounds the
Inner city of Vienna, Is the impressive
pile of masonry known as Schoenbrunn,
where some of the most dramatic epi
sodes in the history of Austria hare
been staged and where Emperor Fran
cis Joseph's death brought to a close a
phenomenal reign of sixty-eight years.
A National Geographic society bulletin
gives the following description of the
royal summer residence and some of
the episodes which have had a regal
setting there:
"With its more than 1,400 rooms
Schoenbrunn is a splendid example of
imperial residence modeled on the
standard of the great palace at Ver
sailles. One of the striking peculiari
ties of this home of Austria's royal
family, however, is that instead of
crowning an eminence it is built on low
ground, while the magnificent park of
nearly 500 acres occupies the high
ground, rising gradually from the pal
ace doors until it terminates on a hill
adorned with a beautiful colonnade
called the Glorlette.
"Three important events of the Na
poleonic era were staged in the im
perial apartments of Schoenbrunn. The
first was the treaty of 1805, signed here
by Napoleon and Ilaugwltz, the latter
acting for the king of Prussia. By this
document Napoleon Inflicted a humiliat
ing diplomatic defeat on the Prussian
statesman, who agreed to surrender
Cleves, Ansbach and Neuchatel to
France in exchange for Hanover,
whereas he had come to see the em
peror for the express purpose of deliv
ering an ultimatum demanding the
return of Hanover. In the same year
(Dec. 27) Napoleon Issued the procla
mation of Schoenbrunn, in which the
Bourbon dynasty in Naples was declar
ed at an end. *
"Four years after Maugwitzs uumm
atlon a second treaty of Schoenbrunn
was signed, the principals this time
being Napoleon and Francis I., the
Austrian emperor, who less than a year
later was to become the father-in-law
of the 'upstart Corslcan.'
"On this occasion the emperor of the
French again drove a hard bargain,
but this time ills antagonist had no
alternative, for the Austrian army had
just sustained the crushing defeat at
Wagram. The vanquished nation was
forced to give up Salzburg, a portion
of upper Austria and extensive terri
tory in Carinthia, Caruiola, Croatia and
along the Adriatic seaboard. In addi
tion, Francis was compelled to relin
quish that share of the booty which
had fallen to Austria In the third dis
memberment of Poland (1795).
"One of the most pathetic scenes ever
witnessed within the walls of this
palace erected by Maria Theresa was
the tinal hour in the life «f the un
happy Due de Relchstadt, son of Na
poleon and the Austrian archduchess
Marie Louise. The 'Eaglet,' as he was
called, was just twenty-one when he
died of tuberculosis in a room once
occupied by his illustrious father on
one of the occasions when he held
Schoenbrunn as his military headquar
ters. A perhaps too highly colored and
historically warped but superbly ap
pealing picture of this deathbed has
been given to the world by the distin
guished poet-playwright of France,
Edmond Rostand, in his widely known
drama of 'L'Aiglon.'
"One of the novel features of Schoen
brunn is its amazing number of kitch
ens—139."
Aroused His Suspicions.
A well known business man who was I
lately married, says Billy Blair, took
out some life insurance last Thursday.
Coming uptown Monday morning, he
was accosted by one of his friends with
the salutation:
"What's the matter, old man? You
look worried."
"Well, to be honest with you, I am.
You know, I took out some life Insur
ance last Thursday."
"Yes," replied the sympathetic friend,
"but what has that to do with the woe
begone expression on your face?"
"Well, the very next day after I had
it written my wife bought a new cook
book. Possibly it's ail right, but It
certainly looks suspicions." — Kansas
City Star.
Thirteenth Century Happiest Era.
Dr. James J. Walsh of New York
spoke oil "The Happiest Era In Hu
man History" recently. He so describ
ed the thirteenth century, calling atten
tion to the good wages and low prices
of that age, the holidays and the lei
sure to enjoy life. It was the century
of architecture and literature. Con
trasting it with the present age, Dr<
Walsh regarded the twentieth century
as almost the unhappiest In human
history.—Boston Transcript
An Ancient Work on Angling.
The greatest work of antiquity on
angling is the "Halieutica" of Oppian,
a Greek poet who flourished in the
time of Severus, A. D. 198, from which
we learn that many artifices in fishing
thought to be modern were known to
ancients.
We also learn from Atheneus that
several other writers had written on
fishing some centuries before the Chris
tian era.
Not to His Liking.
When he was on his dying bed the
witty Bishop Wilmer of the Episcopal
church was asked by one of hte rela
tives where he wanted to be buried.
"I do not want to be buried," was the
bishop's conclusive reply. — Richmond
Times-Dispatch.
Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of sun
