She is nt us beautiful as most of the other Haps-luir- women, but her face is expres sive nnd sweet. She is said to lie of a melancholy disposition and inclined lo take life seriously.

The business elements are said to be near ly unanimous in rapport of this re form. The government counts on an annual Mirpius of some 17,000,000, and its income is Increasing under the usual prosperity ol the country. It has, therefore, become possible to take the step contemplated for years, but heretofore precluded by lack of available funds. The government al ready operates some small telegraph lines, and not unsuccessfully. The telephones, if taken over at the same time as the telegraph, will be placed in the hands of the respective munic ipalities to be managed by them. It is hardly necessary to add that the employe- of the companies; are anx ious to become the servants of the state, knowing, as they do, that from the government they would secure bet ter terms and greater consideration. Canada Is only following the exam ple of (treat Britain in this respect. The telegraph was nationalized In England about HO years nirn. and while there have been complaints of Ineffi ciency, reil tape and lack of progres sive spirit on the part of the poat office department, which controls it, there is no agitation In favor of a return to operation by private companies.

It required the united efforts of three men to focus the instrument. The operator said that the plates used were the largest, ever made, and that if he should fall to give the proper ex posure, it would cost his firm $L'8. The time required to f,ret a good pho tograph of th painting was three hours and a quarter, Three gallons of developer and four of hyposulphite of soda were used to fix the plate. When asked why so long an expos ure was necessary the operator said that to get a full detail and color value a yellow screen of glass, coated with gelatine, dyed with picric acid, was fixed in front of the lens. This screen changed the picture that passed through the ob jective to a yellow color and softened the high lights of the painting to such an extent that the dark shadows gave up their detail just ns rapidly ns the bright places. The plate was prepared with bluo myrtle chloropbyl in the emulsion, and this decreased its regular sensitiveness at least 50 per cent. Only one painting w as plfoTogrnphed during the day.

Archduchess Elizabeth was s:x years old when her father died, ami she has inherited his frankness, his love of nature and outdoor sports, as well as his melancholy and romantifl tendencies. She is now quite a tall girl, blonde, with beautiful blue eyes and expressive features She has re ceived a most careful education, speaks German, French, English and Italian fluently, and sings and paints, Hul driving, riding, cycling, skating, tennis and dancing nre her favorite pastimes, and it was at her ball, in March, 1900V that she iirst met ilia man who is to be her husband. After i hat they met quite faequently. Emperor Francis Joseph did not break up the match, in accordance with a declaration said to have been made many years ago, that be would not oppose any union wished for by any members of his house, should the marriage be the outcome of pure af fection. Tli n i the venerable monarch has been true to this sentiment is evidenced by the fact that, only a few vear.s niro a dau"rht."r of Archduke, Joseph married the head of the house of Thurn f Taxis, who belongs to the same rank of nobility as Prince Otto of Windischgraetz: while the heir to the throne. Archduke Ffahl Ferdinand, was morganatically mar ried to Countess Chotek, now known ns princess of llohenberg. And only a year or so ago the emperor sanc tioned the marriage of Archduchess Stephanie, widow of Crown Prince Rudolph, to Count Lonyay, a Hunga rian noble of the lowest rank. Archduchess Elizabeth is the em peror's favorite grandchild and would inherit the thrones of Austria and Hungary, should the diet ever con clude to revoke the Salic law. She is deeply attached to the lonely old man who has suffered more than any other ruler of our times, and their friendship has repeatedly been made the topic of poetic effusions. On the other hand, the archduchess has noth ing but contempt for her stepfather.
