FOOTNOTES:
[1] The phrase "K. und K." (_Kaiserlich und Koniglich_) is applied to
all services common to the Austrian and Hungarian armies. "K.-K."
(_Kaiserlich-Koniglich_) refers strictly only to the troops of
Austria, the Hungarian army being known as the "K. Ung." (Royal
Hungarian) service.
[2] From _Krumperpferde_ (cast horses attached to batteries, &c., for
odd jobs), applied to the recruits in jest.
ARNAL, ETIENNE (1794-1872), French actor, was born at Meulan,
Seine-et-Oise, on the 1st of February 1794. After serving in the army,
and working in a button factory, he took to the stage. His first
appearance (1815) was in tragedy, and for some time he was unsuccessful;
it was not until 1827 that he showed his real ability in comedy parts,
especially in plays by Felix August Duvert (1795-1876) and Augustin
Theodore Lauzanne (1805-1877), whose _Cabinets particuliers_ (1832), _Le
Mari de la dame de choeurs_ (1837), _Passe minuit, L'Homme blase_
(1843), _La Clef dans le dos_ (1848), &c., contained parts written for
him. He was twenty years at the Vaudeville, and completed at the various
Parisian theatres a stage career of nearly half a century. Arnal was the
author of _Epitre a bouffe_ (1840), which is reprinted in his volume of
poetry, _Boutades en vers_ (1861).
