Through the death of the ArchdukeOtto his widow Archduchess Maria Josefa Is compelled to relinquish her highposition as first lady of the Austrollungarian court There has been much pecu-
lation In aristocratic circles as to whichof the archduchesses would succeed herAfter much consideration the Emperorhas decided in favor of his niece Arch-
duchess Maria Annunciate halfsister ofOtto and abbess of the famous TheresanConvent of Noble Ladles at Prague Theposition of first lady at the Viennesecourt Is one of great honor and dignityIts occupant virtually playing the role ofEmpress Archduchess Maria Annunciatawill continue as abbess at Prague thepost being one of such Importance andprofit that it Is always reserved for anarchduchess The Income amounts tohOG a year besides sumptuous apartments-in the magnificent abbey which occupiesa commanding position by the side of thecathedral and Hradschln Imperial pal-
ace high above the city of Prague Theabbey was founded by the Empress MariaTheresa exclusively for ladles of noblebirth and Its members are all nominatedby the Emperor Each has a separateapartment of two rooms with serviceand receives about 500 a year They cango Into society and some of thorn arealways to be seen at court balls Theyenjoy the use of handsome carriages withliveried servants and a box at the operaThere are no restrictions as to residencethe ladles can be there as much or as lit-
tle as they please When they go Into sosome of them are always to be
seen at court must wearblack evening dress with the blue ribbonof their order When they marry asmany of them do they must of courseleave the abbey otherwise they can remain as long as they live An unmarriedarchduchess cannot occupy the leadingplace at court but as Abbess of PragueMaria Annunciata ranks as a marriedarchduchess It may be asked why theEmperors granddaughter the Archduch-ess Elizabeth daughter of the IllfatedRudolph Is not nominated by the Emperor as first lady of the court but in theintricate and complex etiquette of Austrian society Incomprehensible to the uninitiated this is impossible because thehusband of Archduchess Elizabeth PrinceWIndlschGrazt Is not sufficiently highrank to permit the granddaughter of theEmperor assuming the position

dered or In loaves has been bleachedby a chemical process which the
of the food law have seen fitto
It is learned that there Is no suchas pure white sugar that sugar

Confectioners have even made so boldas to advertise marble dust for thevery purpose of adulteration and it Isregrettable to say there was a demandthat well repaid the advertiser for hisexpense and his daring It evenclaimed that sand is used in whitesugar for the purpose of increasing itsweight and bulk
There Is a foreign substance calledultramarine remaining in the processof manufacture which is often addedto white sugar to give it the requisiteblue Whatever the result of thecommissions permanent rulings wehave bean taught that white sugar isimpure and brown sugar will comeInto style again
