STORY OF THE "UGLY DUCHESS."
NATURE'S CONTRADICTION.
Only recently everybody was talking of Feuchtwanger's his- tory of the Ugly Duchess, and now Quentin Matsy's picture of her can be seen at the Olympia Exhibition. It is more suggestive of an orang-outang than of a human being, and makes one think of a tale told by Lady Louisa Stuart of a young man in

Mrs. Bennett said her son had lived with her. He was perfectly healthy and happy. He loved his, work. She went to the bathroom to tell him his, meal was ready, Sho received no answer. She forced open the door, with a fireman'a hat- chet she kept in the house.
"I noticed him hanging in a big cupboard we had bought a week be. fore," said Mrs. Bennett. "I did not like the thing when I saw it. It had a sort of sinister look."
Her son, ahe said, was always planning for the future. "He had not had a holiday. I think he could have done with one, but he was, a boy who did not like to take holl- days."
Mr. Danford Thomas asked à ques- tion about her son's tempera- ment, to which Mrs. Bennett replied, "He had no temperament. He was most sane."
Mrs. Bennett described how she had cut down her son's body with a knife and then telephoned for the police and a doctor.

What would Margaretha Maul- tasch have said to this? I can fancy her forcible`tongue equal to "Niederhaus" at Bozen that she signed the deed of gift the land to Austria. Not for nothing did she come of the proud race that had lived in Castle Tyrol near Meran now Merano-since at latest the eleventh century. Like the child who wanted the blue- bottle fly spared "because I want to kill it myself," she might rulo with a rod of Iron, but woe betide those who oppressed her people. Pagan and sacred symbols jostle each other in the decoration of Castle Tyrol to the bewilderment of the student. The portal of the chapel bears on the tympanum de- signs that appeal to the Chris- tian, and display representations of savage men and monkeys on the arch. It is suggestive of the Castle's eccentric liege-lady, who was likened to an ogre for many of her actions, yet followed the ence and devotion, and left to services of the chapel with rever- future ages a specimen of her handiwork in the form of a most delicately embroidered. cope for In maturer life, this abnormal- the service of the sanctuary.
