Maria Theresa strasse, Innsbruck
I
' N many respects the Austrian Ty
rol Is the most picturesque corner
of Europe, says Thomas O'Hagan
in the Detroit Free Press. It has,
too. a beauty all Its own. Its chief
city, Innsbruck, which was known by
the name of Innspons In the days of
Caesar, has a most charming situa
tion. The snow-capped Bavarian Alps
stand as sentinels at ita very gates.
.. This gives It a royal setting. They are
God's watch towers royal watch tow-
; rs on the earth.
To many travelers Austria makes
, greater appeal than Germany. In the
first place, there is more variety and
, Individuality in Its people. Then the
. proud Hapsburg line reaches so far
back and lights up the pages of his
tory with so much splendor and vl-
, cissltude of fortune, that you turn
from the new realms of the earth to
tile history-dowered castles of Aus
tria which was great when Guelph and
Ghlbelllne contended on the streets of
. fair Florence.
, There Is probably not a prouder
people In Europe than the Austrlans.
But, of course, in the Austrian empire
are many races many tongues. The
Hungarian, the Bohemian, the Croa
tian, the Dalmatian, the Pole, the Ga-
. llclan, the Tyrolean all these differ
oue from the other. In the Tyrolean
the Teuton and the Latin meet, and It
Is an excellent blending. When you
take, for Instance, the Teuton of the
north of Germany, his character and
temperament are too hard and cold
and material to attract. Indeed, you
cannot find In the Teuton of the north
that warmth and radlutlon which
mark the men and women of the Tyro
lean valley. The climate, too, in the
Tyrol seems to be a blending of Italy
and Norway without the extreme ten-
. denotes of either. The strength of the
north and the tenderness of the south
meet at Innsbruck and unite in a
pleasing harmony.
Known to Ancients as Rhaetla,
The Tyrol as an ancient realm
reaches very far In history. Together
with a portion of eastern Switzerland
the Tyrol was known to Greek and
Roman writers as Rhaetla. Horace
sings of "The Alpine Rhaetla long
unmatched In fight." The Romans,
who were a most practical people, built
a road through the Tyrol as a thor
oughfare between Italy and Germany.
Perhaps the moBt dramatic episode
or chapter In the history of the Tyrol
Is that which centers around the name
of Andreas Hofer. This chapter of
Tyrolean history la known as the Pa-
trlotlo war of 1809. Andreas Hofer Is
to the Tyrolese what William Tell Is
to the Swiss and Bruce and Wallace to
every Scotchman.
It is the time of the great Napoleon,
when his conquering sword gleams lu
triumph on every battlefield lu Europe,
In 1S)5 the Austrlans were defeated
at TJIm and a French army undor Mar
shal Ney occupied Innsbruck. Then
came the battle of AusterllU, which
shattered the power of Austria and the
trenty of Prt'ssburg, by which Tyrol
and Vovnrlheru were given up to na
varla, lu 1806 the Bavarians took for
mnl possession of this new territory,
The Tyrol people rose against their
new masters, and the figure that
stands out In bold relief In this im
tlonnl rising Is Andreas Hofer, an Inn
keeper of Snndyland, In the Passe
valley. He forthwith went to Vienna,
Interviewed the Archduke John, and
returned to his home invested with
full power as commander In chief of
the national forces. This was in th
beginning of April, 1809, and so well
did Hofer lead his countrymen who
flocked to his standard that before the
end of April the Tyrol was again
free except the fortress of Kufsteln,
till occupied by the Bavarians.
But at this moment Austria gave
the command of the troops to Chan
teler, who, In a few days, lost all that
Hofer and his peasant army had won,
On July (, 1809, Austria, vanquished
at WiRram, was forced to sign the
armistice of Znaira, and In this con
vention the Tyrol was Ignored.
Andreas Hofer, however, refused to
abide by this convention, and, hidden
way In an Impenetrable gorge, he
aent from valley to valley his call to
arms.' A price was placed on the
bead of the rebel, and as Is always
the case, a wretch was found to be
tray Hofer's retreat. Four French offi
cers and a battalion of infantry escort
ed him as a prisoner to Mantua, where
he was tried by court-martial and con
demned to death. A platoon of sol
diers carried out the death sentence,
Hofer refusing either to have his eyes
bandaged or to kneel down.
Center of Art and Literature.
Innsbruck Is a great intellectual cen
ter. Its university, founded by the
Emperor Leopold I, in 1677, is recog
nized as very strong in the depart
ments of medicine and philosophy,
The Jesuits have charge of the theo
logical and philosophical departments,
Here it was that the great historian
of the popes, Professor Pastor, lec
tured for many years before he was in
vited to take a position in the Vatican
I library by Pope Leo XIII. Professor
Pastor still resides In Rome.
Innsbruck has been a Bhrtne, too, for
artists and literary men through the
centuries because of the wealth of
art, especially bronze statues, in Its
churches. Its monuments and trlum
phal arches greet the eye at every cor
ner. The people of Innsbruck, too, are
very fond of the drama and a local
stock company puts on during the
theatrical season many of Shake
speare's plays, translated into German
As you saunter through the narrow
streets of the city you are Bhown
many historic buildings. The Hot
klrche, with Its many monuments, Is
regarded as the Tyrolean Westminster
abbey. The 28 colossal bronze statues
once torch bearers surrounding the
tomb of the Emperor Maximilian I, all
have some real or fanciful connection
with the house of Hapsburg. They
differ In Btylo and merit, two of them

and ascribed by many critics to Peter
Vlscher.
In Duke Frederick street there is an
Inn, the Goldener Adlor (Golden
Eagle), the oldest In the city, around
which centers a good deal of history
for In years agoue this house was pat
rontzed by all the potentates and ce
lebrities who passed through Inns
bruck. Amongst its inmates have
been the Emperor Joseph II, Louis
king of Bavaria, Andreas Hofer, Heln-
rich Heine and Goethe. I remember
well that in company with several stu
dents, I once strolled Into the Golden
Eagle, thinking that perhaps through
"stein" of good Tyrolean beer
might catch something of the Infection
of the genius of Goethe did some of
his glorious spirit still abide there
but alas! my trial was in vain, for
came away bearing along with me not
even "The Sorrows of Werther.
Let me here bid farewell to the glo
rlous Tyrol and Us kindly, genial and
really good people. In their vales 1
still hear their yodels and see their
children romping in picturesque cos
tume. In the churches and before the
wayside crosses I see beautiful testi
mony that they are people of God."
To Get Rid of a Cold.
If you find you have caught cold in
spite of precautions, nip It la the bud.
The time to attack a cold In order to
cure it is at its very start. At the first
sniffle or the first cough bogln to fight
It. Drink pleuty of fresh wator, eat
lightly, and get plenty of sleep. Be
fore going to bed take a hot bath and
drink a hot lemonade. Then cover up
warmly and be sure there la no
draft between the windows and the
door, but have the window open enough
to get plenty of air In the room. This
treatment will probably cause you to
perspire freely, and you must be care
ful not to throw off the covers and ex
pose your overheated body to more
cold.
It this treatment is taken at the
start and carefully adhered to. It will
probably drive the cold right out of
your system. But if you do not treat
It at the very beginning It will have to
run Its course gradually.

WORTH WHILE RECIPES
8AVORY METHODS OF PREPARING
VARIOUS VIANDS.
Tit-Bits to Serve With Game or Cold
Meat New Ideas for Vegetables
Combinations of Cheese
and Sweets.
Here are some worth while recipes
and ways of preparing food that will
give a different savor to the viands
Take a small quantity of boiled
cod. flake fine, add enough mayon
naise to make spreading paste, spread
on lettuce leaf between rye slices.
Salmon and tunny fish may be fixed in
the same way, or Instead of the may
onnaise add enough catchup and sea
soning to make the paste. Cold boiled
lobster, cold boiled shrimp may be
shredded or cut fine and prepared In
the same way. Many will like them
with the French dressing, however,
rather than the mayonnaise.
Game. Minced chicken, guinea fowl
or turkey are good mixed with a
tiny bit of chowchow, sweet pickle,
current jelly or orange marmalade, as
well as with good mayonnaise made
with mustard.
Meats. All cold meats, thinly sliced
or minced, are acceptable with any of
he dressings, or lightly spreading the
bread with apple Bauce before lay
ing on the sliced meat.
Vegetables French peas that have
been stewed, mashed to a paste, sea
soned to taste, lighted with a little
whipped cream and a teaspoonful of
chopped ham or tongue make an ex
cellent filling. The macedolne of vege
tables, drained and finely chopped,
mixed with mayonnaise, is good.
Grated with onion with a little fine
ly minced cold roast beef, pepper and
salt and a few drops of mustard dress
ing it is quite appetizing if one likes
onion.
Cheese and Sweets. Combinations
with cream cheese which has been
softened with whipped cream are nu
merous. Little finely chopped pre
served ginger and a tablespoonful of
the sirup mixed to a spreading paste;
puree of chestnuts mixed with the
cheese, orange marmalade, bar-le-duc,
a little of any of the preserved fruits,
or finely chopped fresh fruit may be
blended with the cheese. If needed, a
little mayonnaise or whipped cream
may be used to bind the paste. A
little grated cheese sprinkled on tris
cults, then placed in an oven for a
minute or two to melt, with another
triscult placed on it, are frail to carry
out, but very nice sandwiches.
Pumpkin Pudding. Into a pint of
stewed pumpkin beat the whipped
yolks of five eggs, two pints of milk,
three-fourthB of a cupful of Bugar and
half a teaspoonful- each of powdered
mace, nutmeg and cinnamon. Last of
all stir in lightly the Btiffly beaten
whites of five eggs, turn the mixture
Into a buttered pudding dish and bake
until set Serve hot with a hard
sauce.
What Any Cook Knows.
Never throw away cake, no mattei
how dry but the next time you bake
a custard slice it on top before putting
into the oven. This makes a delicious
caramel crust
To remove fruit stains from table-
clothB and serviettes apply powdered
starch to the stained parts, and leave
for several hours till all the discolora
tion has been absorbed by the starch.
Always put scrubbing brushes to dry
with bristles face downward. This
lengthens their lives considerably, as
If dried the other way the moisture
naturally soaks Into the wood and
rots the bristles.
Bread Pancackes.
Cut the crusts from Btale bread and
break In bits, cover with sour milk
and set aside over night. In the morn
ing add one level teaspoonful of soda
to each pint of the bread and milk
mixture; beat until it is smooth and
foamy. You may need to add some
sweet milk to make the batter thin
enough. Season with salt and fry on
griddle. If eggs are added to the above
the cakes are much like omelets and
are very fine with Jelly between them.
Potatoes a la Milanese.
Take as many potatoes as are re
quired. Choose large ones, bake them
till soft then cut off the tops and
scoop out the lnsldes. Rub the potato
thrnueh a sieve Bnd add a tablespoon.-
ful of grated cheese, pepper and sail
Melt one ounce of butter lu a stewpan,
stir in the potatoes and make it hot,
then fill the cases with It and put them
In the oven for a few minutes. Serve
very hot
Crullers.
Mix a cupful of sugar, three table-
spoonfuls of butter, a cupful of cream,
three cuptuls of flour sifted with two
teaspoontula of salt If more flour Is
needed tor a soft dough add It Roll
the dough out and cut In two-Inch
squares. Slash with a jagging Iron or
a knife, try, drain and roll in sugar.
Cheese Soup.
Roast three large, green peppers,
then throw them in cold water, and
remove the skin. Shred them, then
try In a spoonful of butter. Add two
cuptuls of hot water and a little salt
Just before serving, add a few rolled
crackers and a cupful ot grated cheese
Removing Egg 8talns from Silver,
A pinch ot table salt taken between
the thumb and finger and rubbed on
the spot with the end ot the flngei
will usually remove the darkest cgi
stain from silver.
EASY WAY TO FILTER WATER
Simple and Comparatively Without
Cost Excellent Lamp for the Sick
roomTowel Brackets.
It often happens that pump water is
filled with sand cr gritty substance,
and one must wait until it has settled
before It is fit to use. If this is the
case, an easy way to filter it is to take
a rather fine sponge, just large
enough to fit into the spout of the
pump. Attach a wire to the sponge,
so that when it is pushed up in the
spout it can easily be removed. When
the water runs through this sponge
it will come out clear, for the sand
will be collected by the sponge. Be
sure not to get the sponge too large,
or It will stop the flow of water. Take
the sponge out at least twice a week
and clean it thoroughly.
A small lamp can be made for the
sickroom by taking a bottle such as
mucilage comes in and attaching to
it by a wire a short piece of brass or
copper tubing one-eighth of an inch
In diameter. A thick piece of cotton
cord makes the wick, and the chimney
Is simply a tumbler with the bottom
cut out. These lamps are safe and
will burn without odor. Lard oil will
be found a good substitute for kero
sene and will be less apt to smoke. '
Very serviceable brackets for a
towel roller can be made by using or
dinary wire hooks, as shown in the
Illustration. The roller is made of
wood a broom handle will do and
two nails with the heads knocked off
are inserted in the ends. These are
put through the opening in the ends
the hooks, so that the roller can
revolve easily. When it is necessary
change towels, spring the hooks
apart and slip out the roller.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
It is a needless waste of flre to keep
stove red hot all the time.
Rice with grated cheese over it
makes a change as a luncheon dish.
Turpentine Is said to restore the
lost whiteness of ivory handles of
cutlery.
Bordered or plastered walls make
an excellent background if stained a
good color.
Cream cheese and watercress will
make a delicious sandwich for the
lunch basket
Sometimes merely bending new
kinks into a hat make It look like a
new shape.
Charming footstool covers are made
of gray linen worked in colored cross-
stitch design.
No fruit salad is complete without
touch of color in the Bhape pf a
maraschino cherry.
A good meat salad is made with
chopped cold meat and cold boiled
potatoes, onion and parsley.
Bread and butter, cheese and beans.
nuts and sugar, are among the best
foods for the hard worker.
It is said that all kinds of natural-
colored feathers can be washed
luke-warm water and good white soap.
Hints for Good Cooks,
Salad dressing can be made of al
most anything, but the best imitation
of the genuine can be manufactured by
taking two teacupfuls ot gasoline,
pint of ammonia, three tablespoontuls
of cod liver oil and a jigger of axle
grease,
There Is always one way sure to tell
when an egg Is bad. Boll It soft and
then open It with a common case knife
or a spoon. If it is
left long in doubt
Peach Pie.
Line pie plate with a rich pie crust
and fill with peaches, either canned or
fresh. Sweeten as desired and bake
until nearly done. Then cover top
with dots of currant jelly, or any tart
jell and finish baking. Beat whites
two eggs Btlff; stir in one-fourth cup
ful sugar; spread over pie and brow
With Your Pepper 8eeda,
MVnen using green or red sweet pep
pers save the sseds, which you find in
large numbers inside the shell. Dry
these on a plate and put them in a
wide-necked bottle. They are delici
ous tor giving test to soups, gravies,
sauces, salad dressing and the like.
To Clean a Carpet Sweeper.
A very coarse scrubbing brush will
be found the best thing for removing
the threads, hairs, etc., which are so
hard to get out ot the brushes ot a
carpet sweeper.
For Tar Stains.
Tar stains mar be removed from
cotton fabrics by covering the spots
with butter and allowing it to remain
for a few houra before washing.
