He was born in 712 in Siang-yang (q.v. ) in the present Province of Hu-peh, according to one authority, or in Tu- ling in Shen-si, according to another. An oflBcial career having been closed to him throvigh lack of success in the literary examinations, he be- came a professional poet, and between the years 742 and 755 he produced three descriptive poems which gained for him the favor of the Emperor then reigning, and a position at Court, where he became very popular. Internal troubles, however, compelled the Emperor to flee, and Tu Fu fell into the hands of the rebels, from whom he managed to escape in 757. He was re- called by the new Emperor, and became a censor. Having in this capacity defended an official who had incurred the displeasure of the Emperor, he fell into disgrace, was banished from the Court, and given the petty position of a sub-prefect in a small town of Shen-si. This he promptly resigned and retired to Sze-chuen. He made the ac- quaintance in 761 of the military commandant of the province, who brought his case to the notice of the Emperor, and a post was ]irovidcd for him in connection with the Board of Works. This he held for six years, until the death of his friend the commandant, when he resumed his wandering life. He produced a great many poems. The edition publtshed in 1059 contained MOScomyvositions. He is the most quoted poet in China. See specimens in Giles, Chinese Literature (New York, 1901). TUGENDBUND, too'gent-boont. An asso- ciation organized at Kiinigsberg, Prussia, in Feb- ruary, 1808, for the purpose of furthering the physical and moral regeneration of the Prussian people in the period of national degradation fol- lowing the disasters of the years 1800-07 and the dismembernu'nt of the Prussian kingdom by Napoleon I. at Tilsit.

The climate is very severe in the winter, and not healthful in the summer, owing to the excessive humidity. The province is well watered and has a fertile soil ; its area is 6587 square miles; the population numbers 112,- 300.

TTJILEEIES, twel'rj' (Fr., tile-works). A former 'oval palace in Paris, situated on the right bank of the Seine, on ground occupied, be- fore the fifteenth century, b}' a number of tile- works. The site was acquired by Louise of Savoy, mother of Francis I., in 1527, and the erec- tion of the palace was begun about 1565 by Cath- arine de' Medici. The work was under the direc- tion of Pliilibert de I'Orme (q.v.). who was suc- ceeded in 1570 by .Jean Bullant. The main struc- ture of the original palace comprised a central pavilion, circular in form, and crowned by _a cupola. Henry IV. caused the erection of the Pavilion de Flore on the south wing and began the construction of a long gallery connecting it with the Louvre (q.v.). I'nder Louis XIV. the central pavilion was altered from round to square and the Pavilion de Marsan on the north wing was erected. In spite of its imposing size, the palace possessed little artistic interest, owing to the great and rather unharmonious diversity of architectural form displayed in its long facade. Before the Eevolution it was onl.v intermittently a royal residence, though it was frequently the scene of splendid fetes; in its theatre were given plays of Corneille, Moli&re, and Voltaire. On October 6, 1789, Louis XVI. and the royal family, brought by the Parisian mob from 'ersailles, took up their residence in the Tuileries. The [jalace was invaded by a mob on June 20, 1792, hut little harm was done. On August 10th, however, the organized sections of Paris stormed the Tuileries and after a bloody battle cut down the Swiss Guard, who. after defending the great stairway of the palace with devoted courage, were ordered by the King to lay down their arms. The royal family were forced to take refuge in the hall of the Assembly and thence were removed to the Temple. In 1793 the Con- vention began to hold its sessions in the north wing of the palace, the Pavilion de Marsan be- ing given up to committee-rooms, administrative offices, etc. After the establishment of the Con- sulate the Tuileries became the residence of Na-
