handsome, and held , a brilliant court at Innsbruck, adding greatly to the material prosperity of the place. As Sigmund had no immediate heirs, he relinquished Tyrol in 1490 to his cousin, who became the Emperor Maximilian in 1493. Maximilian was fond of the country, and the people were devoted to their «Kaiser Max», who often , came to Innsbruck on affairs of state, and for recreation in the form of mountain climbing. Tyrol now remained a personal possession of the German Emperors of the House

of Austria, relegated at times to regents, only to revert 'again to the emperors. In 1500 Maximilian added the Pusterthal, his latest inheritance, to Tyrol, and in 1516, after a war with Venice, he made the further additions of Roveredo, Ala, Mori, Riva, Am* pezzo etc., which had been relinquished to him by the Venetian Republic, He established two bodies of counsellors at Innsbruck, thereby raising the educational standard of the place, and here he built the new palace, first using it as a residence

on the occasion of his second manage in .1494, with Maria Bianca Sforza of Milan. The Emperor Charles V, successor of Maximilian I., found his dominions so vast; that he resigned his Austrian territory ;o his brother, who afterward became the Emperor Ferdinand I. Ferdinand so effectually suppressed the Reformation in Tyrol that during the War of the Schmalkald League the inhabitants espoused the cause, of Charles V. It was at Innsbruck that Charles was surprised by the treacherous Maurice of Saxony

, and from here lie was forced to fly across the mountains on a stormy night, ill and suffering as he was at that time. ' 'Ferdinand I. founded the Franciscan Church at Innsbruck, with -its world-renowned tomb, in memory of his grandfather, Maximilian I. .This work brought the best artists to Innsbruck, and stimulated native art to such an extent that the place became a noted art centre. ■ Ferdinand’s son, the Archduke Ferdinand, -contracted ■ a romantic marriage with the beautiful Philippine

.Welser, daughter of an Augs burg merchant For many years the Emperor refused to acknow ledge this marriage, but finally he relented, and made the Archduke Regent of Tyrol in 15631 giving him as a residence Castle Amras, near Innsbruck, Under this art-loving and splendor-loving Prince, both art and commerce flourished' at -Innsbruck. He and his beauti ful Philippine always remained entirely devoted to one another, and were greatly beloved by the people.*) , The story that Philippine died a violent

Local Advantages. Innsbruck is a University town, and is well equipped with schools and educational facilities of many kinds and degrees. These are all described at length in a pamphlet entitled «The Educational Institutions of Innsbruck». It would indeed be difficult to find a spot where the student ; may turn so easily from abstruse topics to the mental refreshment afforded by superb scenery, , or to the physical refreshment afforded by ont-döor exercise and mountain climbing, Austrians have

long appreciated this fact, and of late years foreigners, including many English and Americans, have begun to realize that, in its own way, Innsbruck offers attractions which may well com pete with those of Geneva, Zurich, Graz, and so forth. During the winter popular lectures, scientific, historical and literary, are given at the Aula of the University by members of the faculty. This same faculty are able to supply, on application, most proficient pri vate tutors and teachers in various branches

of these dramas, which should certainly be seen by all who wish to study the customs and institutions of the country. There are excellent hotels in Innsbruck, some of them ranking among the best in Europe. ' ( For many years past the Church of England services have been conducted,during the summer by a resident English chaplain. This is now to be the case in winter also. Both the German and Austrian Alpine Leagne and the Austrian Tourist Club are represented at Innsbruck by important branches. Another

of the clever Innsbruck" physicians have rightfully inspired among their patients. Of course a hospital is not lacking. It is built on the newest scientific principles, and is said on good authority to be the finest in all

But it is not the human associations alone that are suggested to us, for as we mount, and as our spirits rise in the exhilarating atmosphere, there are the steeples painting higher ’■ still, and involuntarily our lips repeat the words: «1 vearn to breathe airs of heaven, That often meet me here.»*) Around these uplands rise the peaks of the mountains, among them the Hablehf, 10.740 feet, and the Waldrast, 8905 feet above ■ , the sea

. The latter mountain shows grandly at Innsbruck. Igls has from time immemorial been eagerly sought by the Innsbruck people [■ as a summer resort The altitude gives a decided change of air, I and as we have abready found, the situation is such as to enture, as the reward of small exertion, an entire change of scene. An I . excellent hotel, the Igier Hof; attracts guests of all nations, among ; them many of the Austrian and German nobility, The hotel omnibus L runs daily to and from Innsbruck, and

carriages are of course, always at hand. There is also telegraph and telephone connection with Innsbruck, to one cannot feel unduly isolated. Another hotel, the Nissl Gasthof, is also much patronized. Private apartments with kitchen etc., neat, cheerful, and nicely furnished, can be had in the village. The interior of the little church at Igls is attractive with its pastoral scenes panited on the organ loft, and the usual quaint relics to be found in such churches. In fact, all who have the time

20 Intiso. -—1648, from the influence of which Tyrol did not entirely escape. The jnairiage of Leopold with the beautiful Claudia Felicitas of Medici was celebrated at Innsbruck with most brilliant festivities. After Leopold’s death Claudia assumed the regency during the mi nority of their two sons.' Her chief counsellor was the brilliant Chancellor Wilhelm Biener. *) The two sons of Leopold and Claudia, Ferdinand Karl and Sigmund Franz, ruled in turn and died without heirs, and then Tyrol

reverted once more and finally to the em perors, who still keep the title : Prince-Count of Tyrol, with the later addition of: Prince of Trent and Brixcn. As rulers of Vor- arlberg the Austrian emperors are entitled ; Count of Hohenems, Feldkirch,. Bregenz, and Sonnenberg. The Emperor reigning at that time, 1665, was Leopold I. In the same year he came to Innsbruck to receive the homage of the Ty roleans, and not long after he came again to marry, as his second wife, Claudia Felicitas, daughter
