For a Soft Velvety Skin
and Bright Fluffy Hair
Fall winds have a peculiarly blight?
ing effect on the delicate skin, and
proper safeguards should be used to
protect it. A highly meritorious lo?
tion can be made at little cost by dis?
solving four ounces spurmax in either
one-half pint witch hasel or hot water
and adding two te>aep<?onfu!s glycerine.
This dries quickly, is Invisible when
on, and Imparts that soft tint of
healthy maidenhood to the skin. The \
spurmax lotion serves every purpose
of powder and makes clear and beau- !
tlful any complexion
"Htringy," unmanageable hair is the |
result of Improper shampooing. A
very satisfactory shampf o for fall i*
prepared by dissolving a teaspoon!ttl'
centhrox in a cup hot water. This
makes a rich, bland lather that re?
moves every atom of dust, dandruff
aad excess oil. and after rinsing, the
hair dries quickly, with a rich, even
color and glos*. Canthrox ehampoos'
make the hair fluffy and encourage a|
thick, long growth.

AUSTRIAN EMPEROR
CONTROLS FORTUNE
No Occasion to Find Fault With
Administration of Francis
Joseph.
BT UL MABO,riSB DB KO*TE*OY.
EVERT Austrian Emperor, while
occupying- the throne after the
attainment of his majority Is in
control of the enormous private
fortune of the historic house of Hane?
burg. It Is he who directs its Admin?
istration, and determines the amount
of the allowances to be accorded to
the various archdukes and archduch?
esses of the dynasty, the amount of
these allowances depending to a greet
extant upon the sroster or less re?
moteness of the prince or princess
concerned from the succession to the
crown. Borne of the archdukes and
archduchesses have sreat personal
fortunes of their own. Independent of
the Hapsburg prone my euch as. for
instance. Archdukes Frederick and Eu?
gene. Others, again, are wholly do
pendent upon their allowances from
the Hapsburg property. The Utter
comprises vast estates of agricultural
and forest lands, mines, manufacturing
industries of every conceivable char?
acter, from potteries to distilleries and
breweries, also steamship lines, rail?
road stocks, hotels, and Heaven only
knows what else beeiden
None of the members of the imperial
family have ever found occasion to
dispute the decisions or to find fault
with the administration of the family
property br Emperor Pmaels Joseph.
But many of them, especially those
who have distinguished themselves by
their openly manifested hostility to
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and to
his morganatic wife, the Duchess of
Hapsburg. fear that when he succeeds
to the throne on the death Of the pres.
ent octogenarian monarch, he will take
advantage thereof to not only diminish,
but perhaps ih some cases to altogeth?
er suspend their allowances. Against
such action on his part they would
have no redress, since there is no
court of law to the Jurisdiction of
which the sovereign could be rendered
amenable In the affair.
It is In view of some possibility I
that several of the members of the I
imperial family have approached cer?
tain big banks, both at Vienna and {
abroad, with the object of selling for j
a sum of money down, their interests i
in the Hapsburg fam.ly property. l|
hear that so far the banks in question ;
have refrained from coming to any
decision. While the interest of the
archdukes and archduchesses In the ]
family property is undoubtedly exis?
tent, the value of that Interest must!
necessarily depend upon the good will j
and sense of Justice of the Anstro-Hun. i
garten sovereign for the time beton".

That tbie eppHoatlon Should have
been made to the bank*, oonatttutes an
eloquent proof of the bitterness of the
quarrel* which have been raging for
aorne time npl*t between Archduke
FVancl* Ferdinand and the Duchess of
Hohenberg on the one hand, and on
the other mo et of the remaining arch,
duke* and archducheaeea.
It 1* to be hoped that the reader* of
Arthur Meyer'* new book of reminis?
cence* entitled *X> Quo Je Peux Dire. -
(What I Can Tell.) will net regard It
a* a true portrait of Parielan life dur?
ing th* met forty year*. The remin?
iscence*, it te true, are an ertietlc
production, worthy of a man who dur.
ing several decade* has been one of
the leading Journalists and editor* on
the banks of the Seine. But in order
to furnish a background to history, ho
takes for th* purpose the salon of the
Mam Comteaee do Loy no*, and ho makes
all the perooaatras who are mentioned!
In hi* reminiscences figure as her
guests, aad as habitues of her enter-,
tai amenta In fact, if we are to be-1
Meve Arthur Meyer, all the elections'
to tho French Academy, many political,
oonpa and ministerial crises, several
international alliances, innumerable j
social eueceaeee and executions, etc..!
were ell determined In her salons and
under her aegl*.
If this were true?which Is not the
case?it would be singularly unfor?
tunate for France, since the Oomtesse
de Loynes wee, prior to her marriage,
a noted demlmondalne. who wee the
favorite in turn of Alexander Dumas
tho younger, or Salnt-Beuve. of that
wicked old Emile de Ol rar din. of
Prince Napoleon, (surnamed "Plon
Pton.*') and of the Ill-fated Prevent
Paradol, who committed suicide while
representing Francs a* minister plen?
ipotentiary at Washington. One of
her lovers. Erneat Baroehe. son of the
statesman of that name, bequeathed
I to her on his death his fortune, along
I with a number of mining shares. whi<*
! became afterwards extremely valuable,
j With this money she ws* enabled to
secure tho name and the hand of a
I perfectly authentic Count de Loynes,
ex-captain of the Carabineer* of the
Guard under the Empire, and whom
I the overthrow of the Napoleonic re
j gime had left penniless and without
occupation.
Arthur Meyer is perhaps scarcely
I qualified to form a correct Judgment
i of the Importance of the' influence of
the Comtesse de Loynes's salon upon
life In Prance during the last half
century. For he commenced his own
career as the book-keeper and general
I factotum of another celebrated deml
! mondalne, known as Blanche d'Antlgny?!
I who Is so graphically portrayed byj
I Zola as "Nana" In his novel of that j
1 name.
Prince Carlo Brancaccio. who arrives
in New York to-day from Enrope. is
half American, his mother, th? late
Princess Brancaccio. having been a
Miss Elizabeth Hickson Field, daugh?
ter of Hickson Field, of New York. The
late princess, who In her younger days
was a great beauty of the blonde type.!
was one of the two American-born
ladies-ln-waKing of Queen Marguerite,
who was very fond of her. and It is
no secret that a considerable amount,
?though not all. of the violent and ef?
fectual opposition of the Dowager
Queen to the marriage of her favorite
nephew, the Duke of the Abruzzl, to
Miss Catherine Elkins. was due to the
Influence of the late Princess Bran?
ca ecio.
The Btaneaccios are a very ancient
Neapolitan family, the founder of
which is said to have been a certain
Burrbus Brancassius. who flourished
900 years ago. their ducal titles of
Castalnuova dl Lustra and of Pontel
andolio. dating from the beginning of
the seventeenth century, and their
princely title of Ruffaeo and of Dl
Triggiano. from the commencement of
the eighteenth century. Prince Carlo
is unmarried, about forty-two years of
age. an officer of the Italian army, and
makes his home with his septuaeen
arlan father In the Brancaccio Palace
in Rome. He has. also, a residence in
the Rue de Rivoli. In Paris. His
younger brother, Mark Antonio, re?
ceived the title of Duke Branoarcio
j from King Humbert in 1?0T. and their
only sister. Dona Maria. Is the wife of
I Don Francesco Massimo. Prince of
j ArsoH. wtth whom she spent an entire
j season in New York and Washington a
few years ago. In order to make the
acquaintance of her mother's relatives,
i Her Jewels on thet occasion attracted
I a considerable amount of attention.
For they were not only very magni
I flcerrt. but of a historical character.
I having been presented to her hy her
I mother-in-law. Princess Massimo.
I daughter of the royal Duchesse de
?Berry, by her second Neapolitan hus?
band, the Marquis Lucchest-Palli. and
had at one time belonged to Queen
Marie Antoinette of France.
The Count Ferdinand Luccheel-PalU.;
who for some years past has been '
acting as consul-general for Italy In
Paris, belongs to an entirely different
branch of the house of Luechesi-Palli. ?
and has no Bourbon blood In his veins. ?
