SOUVENIR

DU JUBILE DE DIAMANT 1)E LA HEINE

May Flower.

was in the month of May, in the year 1819, that the little girl of
whom I am going to write was l)Orn. But I do not think any one
guessed at that time how ninch she would be loved, nor how
many would keep her birth day in years to eonie.

She was born in the solemn
old palace of Kensington.
Her Father and Mother were
the Duke and Duchess of
Kent, and her Grand-father
was the good old kingtieorge
the Third.

Yet allhongh she was a
king's grand-daughter, very
few people thought that ilie
little Princess Victoria would
ever be the Queen of Kngland.
She had two uncles, who were
Ijoth older than her father,
and both of whom would have
the right to the crown belore
him, and they might have
children of their own, who
would of course, succeed
them. So that, it did not seem
at all, likely that the little
'• May Flower " as her Father
and Mother called her, would
ever sit upon her Cirand-fa-
ther's throne.

A Ncrrow Escape from Death.

When the little Princess was about six months old, she was taken by
her Mother to a pretty place near Sidmouth in Devonshire, and whilst
they were there, the poor baby was very nearly killed. Her nurse was
carrying her about the nursery, when suddenly she was startled by the
sound of a gun, and the shot came whizzing in at the nursery window,
and passed just over the head of the dear little Princess.

Who had fired the gun ? A cruel, mischievous boy, who was .imusing
himself by shooting sparrows near the house, and who little guessed
the mischief he had so nearly done. It would have be-n 11 sad day for
the Duke and Duchess of Kent, if their little birdie had been shot. And it
would have been a day of terrible loss for Kngland. But God saved us
from that loss, and watched over the fair little head, and the child was
unhurt, and knew nothing of her danger.

Nor did she know anything of the heavy, crushing sorrow which came
to her poor Mother very soon after this ; for the baby was only nine
months old, only just beginning to laugh and crow and play, when her
Father, the good Duke of Kent, died. He was very fond of his little girl,
and very proud of her too, and said often to his friends : " Look at her
well i she will y;>t be Qu-en of England !'"

One day he had^been walking in the 'grounds, when a heavy shower
of rain came on. A chill struck him from his danii) clothes ; he was
taken very ill. and soon after — little I'rincess Victoria was'fatherless.

Flettr de Mai.

F. tut par line belle joiirnc'e de inai i.Siy (|ui' vint an inonde inie

au moment de son entree dans le nxnide, personne efit niCme
I'idce de (]uelle immense somme d'aniour serait enlourte cette

petite tille et avec quel en-
semble seiail ciilObre dans
lavenir son joyeux anniver-
saire.

inajistueuv palais de Ken-
sHiylon, Son pcre nt sa nu^re
etaieiit le Ducetia Duchessc
de Kent, son grand-pdie, le
bon vieu.x Roi George III.

Bien cpie petiti-fille ile Roi,
il ne seml'lait pas alors pro-
bable ip.e la jeUMc Princesse
devint j.iinais Reine d' Angle-
terre. Kile avait deux oncles
plus ages (pie son pOre. lis

Nul ne pensait done, a eelte
epo(|ue, (pie " Fleurde Mai,"
coinme rappeli-reni ses p.v
rents, monlerait jamais sur
le trone de son graiul-p(>re.

La Princesse echappe k un grand danger.

Lorsepie la Princesse eiit alteint I'age de six inois, sa nujre reniniena
dans une jolie localite pr^s de Sidmouth dans le Devonshire, et la,
la pauvrette faillit etre tuee.

Sa nourrice la ramenait a la maison, Inrsipie tout :i coup une detona-
tion retentit. Une charge de ploinb siffla ,i son oreille, rasa la lete de la
Princesse et s'en vint casser une viire a une fenfire.

Qui avait tire"? Un mauvais garnement qui faisait la chasse aiix nioi-
neaux et ne se doutait guere du inalheur terrible dont il aurail pu Ctre
I'auteur. C'eut ete une bien triste journee pour le Due et la Duchesse
de Kent si leiir pauvre enfant adort'e avait He si malencontreusemenr
tuee, et c'eut ete pour r.\ngleterre une perle irreparable.

Dieu veillait sur I'enfant et la |)n;serva de tout inal, pour le plus grand
bonheur de FAngleterre.

I,a Princesse ne connut ricn de la terrible douleur ipii frappa sa mere
a quelque temps de la. K'enfant n'avait que neuf niois et conimen(;ail a
sourire et jouer, lorsqiie mourut son pere, le bon Dm; de Kent. II
aimait sa tille a Padoration, et ne cessait de dire qu'un jour viendrait oCi
elle h^riterait du trone de son grand-pdre.

Une fois il etait sorti pour se promener aux alentours. II fut surpris
par la pluie, et cut ses vgtcments mouilles. II fut pris de frisson, tomba
malade et, quelques jours plus tard, la princesse Victoria etait orplielinc !

QUEENS DIAMOND JIHILEK

Play and Lessons.

'I'lio I'rini'L'ss wasii lui|i|iy, iiiciry rliild bill very hiisy liitlu luaideii, getting
ii|i early in llic nMrning lo be ready for breakfast at eight oVIock, — guing '""
with her sister I'rim ess I'eDiliire Tir an parly walk in the I'aik, — eoniinn in
fiir her lessons with her Mother, — Wi.rkinn away for two busy hours at
reading, writing, and sums, then hurrying out, when lessons were over, to
look after the tluwers in her own little garden under the I'alaec windows. No
W(Hidcr that the I'rinress grew up happy and busy and useful.

The I'rinress V'letorii did not spend all her d.iys in the grave old Kenning-
lon I'alacc. Soiiulinies Mhe was at ("lareniont House, sonieliims she went to
the sea-side, and might be seen running races on the sands like any oilier
happy little Knglish girl, or looking through the telesiope of the old roast-
guard men at the ships far iway over the deep Miie sea.

As the I'rineess grew older, and one after another died who lanie l)elweeM
her and tin erowii, the people of Kngland became more and more sure tli.il
the Princess Victoria would one day of their (Jueen ; and, when she walked
on the pier at llrighton, or on the s.-inds at Kamsgale, many would come
to sec her, and look at her with loving and admiring eyes. liut the little girl
did not know the reason of this, nor could she understand why more notice
was taken of her, be(aiise her wise Mother i areliiliy kepi from her the fact
that she might one day be the (,)ueen of Lugland, until she thought that it
was good for her little girl to know it.

A Present of a Golden Key.

Tli«* ■*rliii'«>4« Vli'liirlH

One day, a present arrived for the
Princess from Sir Moses Monteliore, an
old .Tew, who lived to be more than a
luindred years old, and who did so iriirh
in his long life for '.he i oinlort i'lul hap-
piness of his natiiin. It w.is a little golden
key, which would iinlo( k a small private
gate on his beaulilul garden at Ramsgate,
and nov>', whenever Princess Victoria
wished to be quiet, she could use her
pretty little key, and could escape from
all the noise and glare of the sands into
the (piiet shade of the beautiful pleasure
grounds.

But there was no [ilace to which the
I'rineess liked to go better than to the
Isle of Wight. .She used to slay at Norris
(Castle with her .Mother, and many a
pleasant drive lliey had together to .;ll
tile lovely spols i'l the beautiful is'aiid.

I'he Princess never forgot those ha|ipy
days in the Island of Wight, and many
yiMrs after this, when she was ()ucen of
Kngland, she had a sea-side Palace built
for her in thu beautiful island.

La clef d'or.

Un jour arriva pour la Princesse un cadeau dc Sir Moses Montefiore, riche juif qui
vecut cent ans, fit beaucoup pour le pays el possedait a Ramsgate de magnifiques
jardins. C'etait une petite clef d'or qui ouvrait une porte dc'robee .sur ses jardins.

The next time the Princess
Victoria came to her lessons,
she noticed that a paper, wliic h
she had never ,een before, had
been fastened in her Knglish
History.

" What is this ?" she said to
her governess, 1 never saw it
before."

" It was not thought ne-
cessary that you should," said
the lady.

Then the Princess read the
list of names (piiellv to herself
for a few minutes, and looking
up at the end she said

" I see I am nearer tin-

Then, jiutling Iter little liaiul

Victoria-Queen.

La Reine Victoria.

The ye;;rs passed away, and when the I'rinccss Victoria was eighteen
her uncle. King William the Kourth, died i'l llie old f'astle of Windsor.
It was very early in the morning, only just after day break on June 20th,
1837 that is soul jiassed. Immediately afterwards, two gentlemen might
have been seen setting off from Windsor, and driving along the London
road as fast as horses could carry them.

Who were they? They were the Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Lord Chamberlain, and they were hurrying to Kensington Palace to
tell the Princess Victoria that she was the Queen of England !

It was still very early when they reached London, and they passed
through it to Kensington Palace. When they arrived there, all was very
still ; there was not a sound to be heard, for every one in the great

Les annees s'ecoulaient, et la Princesse ttait arriv(5e a I'age de 18 ans.
.Mors mourut son oncle, le Roi Uuillaume IV. II rendit le dernier soupir
le 20 juin 1837, au lever de I'aurore, au chateau de Windsor.

(^uelques minutes aprfis deux gentilshommes de la cour sortaient du
chateau et couraient sur la route de Londres, aussi vite que pouvait les
entrainer le galop rapide de leuis chevaux.

Qui etaient ces messagers ? C'etaient I'Archeveque de Canterbury et
le Grand Chambellan, qui sc rendaient au palaia de Kensington pour
6tre les pretniers a saluer dans la Princesse Victoria, la Reine de
I'Angletetre.

II etait de grand matin quand ils arrivirent & Londres et se prrisen-
tirent au palais. Tout y itait endortni ; tout y 4tait silencieux et tran-

The Coronation.

Queen Victoria had reigned a year and eight days before her Coro-
nation took place. For months beforehand all England had been getting
ready for it. A new crown had to be made, for the old crown which her
uncles had worn was to heavy and too large for her. The Queen's new
crow, is also to be seen in the Regalia at the Tower. It was so precious
and costly, that the jewels in it cost £113,000. Then songs and hynuis
were made, to be sung on the ha])i)y day, and medals were struck for the
people of England to wear, and all kinds of preparations were made,
throughout the country, for holiday making and rejoicing, in honour of
the young Queen's Coronation.

At last the day came, and people were astir as soon as it was light,
and between si.x .iiul seven the streets of London were filled with strings
of carriages, and with crowds of eager people. Every one was full of
excitement and joy, and soon every one was waiting for the Queen.

As the clocks of the great City struck ten, a salute of twenty-one guns
was fired, and then the crowds of waiting people knew that the (^ucen
had left Buckingham Palace, and had started for Westminster Abbey,
where she was to be crowned. She was in the great state carriage, which
shone like gold in the sunshine, and which was drawn by eight cream-
coloured horses, with long white flowing manes and tails.

Oh what shouting and cheering there was, as she drove along ! p'.very
window, every balcony, every doorstep, every roof, every chimney was
covered with jieople.

God save the Queen Vi<:loria I

At length she reached Westminster Abbey which was crowded with
noblemen, and ladies 'n most brilliant dresses and sparkling with jewels.

Then the Archbishop in a loud voice said : "' I here |>resent nnto you
Queen Victoria, the undoubted (Jueen of this realm ; you who are here
present, are you willing lo do luiniage to her .is \(iur (^uecu ?'"

Le Couronnement.

II y avait un anethuit jours que la Reine N'ictoria etait montee sur le
trone, lorsqu'eut lieu son couronnement. Pendant de longs mois aupa-
ravant r.\ngleterre s'etait prepart'e a cet evenement. On avait eie
oblige de faire une nouvelle couronne. car celle de ses ancgtres etait
trop grande et trop lourde pour elle.

On pent voir aujourd'hui cette couronne au Tresor de la Tour de
I.ondres. C'est une merveille de joaillerie qui a coute £1 13,000.

Des chants, des hymnes furent composes pour ce grand jour ; on
frappa des medailles commemoralives ; des i)reparatifs de toutes sortes
furent faif d'un bout a I'autre du pays, pour se rejouir en I'honneur du
couronnement de la Reine.

Le jour arriva enlin ! Chacun etait sur pied au lever du soleil. Enire
si\ el sept heures du matin, de longues files de carrosses commencerent
a defiler, et les rues etaient bondees de curieu.x. L'excitarion et la joie
etaient generales, on ne parlait que de la Reine.

(,)uand dix heures sonnSrent, une salve de vingt et un coups de
canon fut liree, annongant au peuple (pie la Reine venail de sortir du
Palais de Hiu-.kinghani et se rendait a I'abbaye de Westminster, oi'i devait
avoir lieu le couronnement. Elle etait dans le grand carrosse d'Etat, qui
brillait comme de I'or au soleil, et qui etait traine par huit chevaux
couleur creme, a crinieres et (pieiies blanches, longues et tlottantes.

Les cris d'allegresse et les applaudissements retentirent tout le long
du parcours. Chaque fenCtre, chaque balcon, chaque porte, chaque toit
de maison etait garni de speciateurs en delire criant a (pii mieux mieux ;

'' Itieu protege l.i Ucinc ! " '

Le cortege arriva enfin a I'abbaye de Westmin. ler, remplie par la
noblesse et les-pcrsonnages de la coiir en Icnue de gala. Les dames
etaient ruisselaHtes de pierreries.

yUKKN'S DIAMOND .ITBILKK

All the thousand people in the Abbey shouted :

" God save the Qiieen I "'

Then came a service and a sermon, and after this, Her Majesty laid
her hand on the Ureal Hible and jiromised that she would be faithful to
her duties as Queen. After this, she sat down in the old chair, in which
thirty-three kings and f >ur queens had sat before her, and under which
was placed a curious old stone, on which the Kings of (Scotland, for
many hundred years, had sat when they were crowned.

A cloth of gold was then held over
the Queen's head, and she was anoin-
ted with oil on her forehead and hands.
And then came the sight for which all
those hi .idreds people had waited
patiently for several hour.s. 'I'he
Archbishop came forward, and reve-
rently placed the crown of Kngland
on the young Qu.en's head.

The Queen, with her crown on her
head, took her seat in another chair,
called the Chair of Homage, and all
the lords of the land came up to her
to do their homage. One by one, they
knelt down, took off their coronets,
touched the Queen's crown with them,
and then kissed hor little white liand.
One aged nobleman. Lord Rolle, in
trying to lift his coronet wilh his
trembling hands to the Queen's crown,
lost his balance, and slipjied down the
two lower steps of the throne. He
was lifted up, and w ished to try again,
but the Queen rose from her chair of
state, and coming to meet him, took
him by the hand, amidst the cheers of
those who were looking on.

At last all was over a id the Queen
drove home through the shouting
multitudes. She wps dressed in pur-
ple velvet, on her head was the
beautiful crown, in her right hand
was the sceptic, and in her left hand

was the golden ball call the orb, which is one of the crown jewels of
Kngland.

Once more there went up from countless muliitudes the cry :

" God save the Queen !"

And the state <'arriage drove up to the I'alace steps.

Tlie Tllruii*'.

L'Archevfique d'une voix forte dit : " Je vous prdscnte la Reine

" Dieu protege l.i Keine 1 "

iMisnite la Reine mit la main sur la Sainte Bible et jura d'observer
lidelement ses devoirs de Souveraine.

Elle prit alors place sur le vieux
trone, oCi s'etaient assis avant clle
trente-trois Rois et quatre Reines. Le
trone etait place sur une pierre fort
curieuse, sur laquelle, pendant des
slides, avait eu lieu le couronnement
des Rois d'Ecosse.

QUEKN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE

The Queen's Marriaga.

The young Queen received many letters, congratulating; her on
becoming Queen of England. One of these was froin her cousin, I'rince
Albert of Saxe Coburg, and the following year he and his brother I'.rnest
came to stay with her in Windsor Castle.

Of all the beautiful palaces which b-'long to the Queen Victoria, I
think none is so beautiful as Windsor Castle, and she very much
enjoyed taking her cousins over her new home and shfiwing them the
lovely avenue, and the splendid view from the- great Round Tower.

That was a visit never to be forgotten by the young Queen, for, before
it was ended, she and her Cousin .Vlbcrt had promised to love each
other above every one else in the world, and in a very short time they
were to become husband .md wife.

The Royal wedding took
place at the beginning of the
next year, and again multitu-
des of people were gathered
together to see the Queen
drive through the streets.
This time she had no crown
on her head, but a white
wreath of orange-blossoms ;
nor did she wear her purple
velvet coronation robes, but
was dressed in pure white
satin, with a beautiful white
lace veil.

No wife ever loved her
husband more truly and more
tenderly than did Queen Vic-
toria, and no wife had ever
better reason for so doing.
Prince .Mbert was an untold
comfort and blessing, not
only to the Queen herself,
but to the whole nation. He
was always at her side, to
help her in her difticullies, to
sympathize with her in her
troubles, and to share with
her, day by day. the great
load uf care which would
have rested u|jon her alone.

Mariage de la Reine.

La jeune Reine rc^ut un flot de lettres, la f^licitant de son av6ne-
ment au trone. L'une d'entre elies 6tait signie de son cousin, le
Trince .\lbert de .Saxe-Cobourg, qui, I'ann^e siiivante, s'en vint rdsider
avec son frere Ernest au chateau de Windsor.

De tons les splendides palais que possdde la Reine Victoria, je n'en
coiinais pas de \i\us beau que le chateau de Windsor. La Reine aimait
fort .a en faire les honneurs a ses cousins, a ])arcourir les magnifiques
avenues du domaine, ainsi qu'.i admirer la vue dont on jouit du haut i
la grande Tour ronde.

Ce fut une visite (pie la Reine n'oublia jamais, car, avant qu'elle
eflt pris fin, son cousin .Mbert et elle s'ctaient jure amour et fidelite. lis
ne devaient pas tarder a etre imis par les liens du mariage.

La cdremonie eut lieu au
commencement de I'annee
suivante et de nouveau la
foiile put contempler sa Sou-
veraine se montrant officiel-
lement dans les rues. Cette
fois elle n'avait pas de cou-
ronne sur la teie ni ses bril-
lants atours de couronne-
ment. Rile portait un mer-
veilleux costume de satin
blanc. Elle etait toute enve-
loppee d'un voile de dentelle
de grand jjHx et son front
ttait ceint d'un diadi^mc de
fleurs d'oranger.

Jamais feninie n'aima plus
sincirenient ni plus tendre-
ment son mari (pie ne le fit
la Reine Victoria, et jamais
femme n'eiit plus de raison
de le faire. Le Prince Albert
6tait un appui et une ben(i-
diclion veritable, non seule-
ment pour la Reine, niais
encore pour la nation toute
entiere. II titait toujours a
ses crjtc-s pour I'aider dans
les ditficultes, sympathiser
dans les moments pC'iiibles et
partager avec elle chaque
jour le poids du fardeau qui
lui etait incomb^ avec la
couronne.

The little Princes and Princesses.

Then in november came a new joy for the Queen, her Im>i little baby,
the princess Victoria, was born ; and just a year later, in november
T.S41, a little boy, the prince of Wales, came to share the [iretly nursery
with his sister, and cannon were fired and bells were rung, and all
K gland welcomed him as the heir to his mother's crown.

(,i;ieen Victoria had nine children, fijur boys and five girls, a goodly
ring round the noble parent stem.

Princes et Princesses.

QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE.

The Home in the Highlands.

The Royal fumily enjoyed themselves very imicli when they went to
the Highlands of Scotland. Perhaps you know what it is to roam over
the mountains, with the fresh moorland breezes blowing in your face,
and to sit down to rest on a bank of springy heather, with nothing
round you but wild purple mountains, and miles and miles of grey rocki
and heather, and feru ?

if so, you will under-
stand why it is that the
Queen and her family
loved so much to go to
Balmor.«l, their beautiful
Highland home. There
they forgot for a time
Court nianners and flourt
etiquette, and were able
to enjoy themselves,
without having a crowd
of people looking at them
and watching all tlieir
movements.

No wonder the Royal
children loved Balmoral,
no wonder the Queen still
delights in her Highland
home.

But all the Queen's
time at Balmoral is not
spent in parties of pleas-
ure. It has ever been her
delight to go and see the
poor people living in the
cottages and small farms
round the Castle. How
well they all know her,
and how much they love

they are ill, bringing some
little present for them in

A Visit to Ireland.

The Queen and Prince Albert had a favourite yacht, named TAc
VUtoria and Albert^ and in this they often went from place to place
on the coast, and once they visited Ireland in it, and took their
three eldest children to sec the Emerald Isle.

The Irish peasants were very much charmed
with the children, and an old Irishwoman shouted
out as the {)ueen's carriage drove by, " Oh, Queen,
dear, name one o' thim darlints Patrick, and all
Ireland will die for ye ! " The next year the Queen
had a little boy born, and .she chose Patrick as one
of his names.

The Crimean War.

The Queen has had many anxious hours in lur
life ; there have been times when she has felt that
to be a Queen means to have to bear a heavy
weight of care, quite as much as to have a life of
sunshine and prosperity. But I k she can never
have been quite so anxious as a. the time of the
great war of her reign, the Crimean War.

a pu se rendrc comi)te que le fardeau de la royaut(5

QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE

The Queen and Prince Albert took the greatest interest in all the pre-
parations that were made for taking our army to Russia ; they reviewed
the troops, and they threw themselves heart and soul into all ihe grave
anxieties of the natiqn.

The British soldiers fought bravely, but many thousands were killed
in battle, or died of cold and starvation in the Crimea. So nuich did the
Queen feel it, that she became quite ill from sorrow and anxiety. When
the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Raglan, paid a tlying visit to Windsor,
the little Princes and Princesses said to him, " You must hurry back to
Sebastopol and take it, or else it will kill Mamma!"

And in September joyful news came. Sebastopol, the fortress which
the French and English troops had been besieging so long, was taken at
last. As soon as the news reached England, it was sent on as quickly
as possible to the Queen at Balmoral.

God of all peace had given peace once more to her beloved country I

The Marriage of the Prin-
cess Royal.

Soon after, the Queen's eld-
est daughter, the Pr-ncess
Royal, was married to the
Crown Prince (the late Em-
peror) of Germany. It was a
pretty wedding, and she was a
very happy little bride. But
when a few days afterwards,
she had to say Good-bye to
the dear Father and Mother,
and the brothers and sisters,
the poor little bride broke
down altogether, and as she
drove in an open carriage
through the streets of London,
the people saw that her eyes
were swollen with crying. But
the tears soon changed to
smiles, when some one in the
crowd shouted, "If he doesn't
trent you well, come back to us !"

Births, Marriages, and Deaths!
Such is life.

Two Great Losses.

In one year, the sad year 1861, she lost both her mother and her
husband. What that double loss was to her, words cannot tell ; it was
sorrow upon sorrow. But in the first sorrow she had her husband 10
comfort and soothe her, and to speak just the words of help and
sympathy that she needed. In the second sorrow, he, who had been by
her side before, was taken away, and the Queen was left alone ; and yet
she was not alone, for the Lord stood by her and strengthened her.

Prince Albert had only a short illness : it was a low fever, which at
first was thought only to be a cold. The Queen nursed him very
tenderly, and the Princess Alice was her mother's right hand.

One of the doctors said to him, " I hope you will be belter in a few
days." But he said, " No, I shall not recover ; but I am noi taken by
surprise. I trust I am prepared."

The Queen was with him to the last. Even when he was dying, and
when he knew no one else, he knew her, and when she bent over him,
and kissed her.

It seemed for a time as if the Queen would soon follow her husband.
She was so weak and worn out with all she had gone through that, for
many days, her people were most anxious about her. She could not
sleep, and all over '.he country the one question which every one asked
was, " How is the Queen ? " At last the joyful news came, " The
Queen has had some hours' sleep," and her subjects thanked God, an!
rejoiced in the midst of their mourning.

Deux grandes pertes.

L'annee 1861 fut douloureuse pour la Reine, EUe perdit a la fois sa
mdre et son mari. Rien ne peut depeindre I'^tendue de la doulcur
qu'elle en ressentit.

Dans le i)remier de ces deux malheurs, elle avail pres d'elle son mari
pour la consoler et la soutenir, lui [larler d'esjierance et parlager sa
doulcur. Mais, dans -e lecond, elle n'avait plus ce soutien. La Reine
etait seule ! Dieu cependant veillait sur elle et lui donna la force
de supporter le malheur,

Le Prince Albert fit une Irdscourte maladic, 11 avait contracte unpen
de fievre que, au debut, on prit pourun simple rhunie. La Reine lesoigna
avec toute sa tendresse, bien secondee par celle de la princesse Alice.

L'un 1' s docteurs dit un jour ; " J'espere que vous serez mieux dans
quelques jours ! El le Prince de repondre ; " Je ne guerirai pas ! Je
ne suis point pris par surprise et je suis prepare a mourir ! "

La Reine etait pi'6s de lui a I'instanl fatal. II conserva sa connais-
sance jusqu'au dernier moment et rendit I'ame en I'embrassant.

Pendant rpielipie temps, on put craindre que la Reine le suivrait dans
la tombe ! Elle etait si faible, si desinleressee de tout que, pendant
plusieurs jours, son peuple fut en proie .i une vive anxiete, Elle ne
pouvait dormir '. D'un bout a I'autre du Royaume la question g^nerale
fttait celle-ci : " Comment se porte la Reine ? " Enfin, on .-ipprit avec
joie que la Reine avait repose quelques heures. Ses sujets remerciirent
Dieu et leur dcuil fut adouci par un Bentiment de joie.

QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE

The Queen's trouble dii not make her forget the sorrows of others,
but, rather, it made her heart so loving and tender and full of synipithy,
that nothing sad can happen to her people, without her feeling for them
most deeply and truly.

Prince Albert had not been dead a month before a dreadful accident
happened. Two hundred colliers were buried alive in a coal mine in the
Hartley Colliery, The Queen he.ird of it, and, in tlie midst of her own
sorrow, telegraphed her tender sympathy for the poor widows and
mothers.

The Queen and the Children.

The Queen has always been very loving and kind to little children.
In the year 1876 she went to see the London Hospital, and whilst she
was going through some of the wards, a poor little sick girl, in the
children's ward, heard that she was in the Hospital .She cried out,
" Oh, do let me see the Queen ! Please, nurse, let mc see the (^uccn ;
I shall be ijuite better if I see the Queen I ''

Some one told Her Majesty, who was in another part of the building,
what the little girl had said, and, at once, she turned back and told them
to take her to the bedside. There she si)oke such kind, loving words to
her, that the child looked brighter and happier than she h.id done since
she came into the hospital, and when the Queen had gone, she lay back
on her pillows quite contented and pleased.

Les ch.agrins dc la Reine ne lui laisaient pis oublier ceux des autres ;
son ctcur etait si tcndre et si sensible qu'elle ne pouvait apprendrc un
malheur sans en jiartager aussitot la douleur avec les intSressis.

Le Prince Albert n'O'tait pas mort depuis un mois, que survint un
l.imentable accident. Deux cents mineurs furent brftles vivants a la
mine de Hartley. La Reine I'apprit et, faisant tr&ve mjinentanie .i ses
chagrins domestiques, telegraphia ses sympathies aux mdres et aux
veuves de ces infortunes.

La Reine et les enfants.

La Reine a toujours ainie les petits enfants. Kn 1876, elle visitait un
hopilal i Londres et, pendant qu'elle circulait dans les galeries et les
chambres, unc pauvre petite fille malade apprit sa presence dans I'ita-
blissemeiit, " Oh I dit-elle ^ I'ambulanciiire, faites-moi voir la Reine et
je serii guerie quand jo I'aurai vue ! "

Une pcrsonne de la suite de la Reine I'ayant informde du voeu de la
pauvre enfant, elle revint sur ses p.as et s'arrCta pr(is de son lit, Elle
lui parla quelque temps. L'enfant ])araissait si joyeuse que sa guiirison
en fut assuree. .Vpres le depart de la Reine, elle retombasur sesoreillers
comme en extase.

GOD SAVE the: QUEEN 1

DIEU RROTEGE L_A REiNE !

QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE

The Queen's Jubilee.

On June 20th, 1887, the Queen completed the fiftieth year of her
reign. There have now been four Hovereigns of England who have lived
to keep the jubilee of their reign over this country. Henry the Third,
Edward the Third, and George the Third all reigned for fifty years, but no
jubilee was ever so glorious and magnificent as that of our beloved Queen.

It was a beautiful day, and in unclouded sunshine the great pro-
cession left Buckingham Palace on its way to Westminster .\libey,
where the grand Thanksgiving Service was to be held. Filly years
before the young Queen had driven through the streets of London on
her way to the same place. AVhat changes those fifty yeafs had seen !
There had been changes in herself, for her hair had become grey, and
her face bore the marks of many a heavy sorrow, and of the tonible
weight of responsibility which had lain ujion her for half a century ;
there had been changes in her family, for at her jubilee she had
children, grand-children, and great-grand-children t'^ 'icompany lur in
her progress ; and there had also been changes in her couniry for
wondrous inventions, marvellous improvements, and strange discoveric
had taken place during those
fifty years.

But perhaps the change which
those who witnessed the pro-
cession most noticed, was the
change in her subjects ; for from
the east, as well as from the west,
came faithful loyal men to join
in her jubilee celebrations. Pro-
minent in the procession were
Indian soldiers, who had been
selected to take [lart in it as
representatives of the mighty
Empire of India, for the Queen
of England h.id now become
the Empress of India.

Who can describe the shouts
of the multitudes of loving
people who surrounded their
loved Queen on that memorable
day ? She was dearer, far dearer,
than she had been fifty years
before, when some of those pre-
sent had witnessed her corona-

New Mourning.

Since the bright and ioyl'ul Jubilee year, our CJueen has had several
heavy sorrows. The young Duke of Clarence, her beloved grandson,
and the heir to the throne after his father, the Prince of Wales, was to
have been married to his cousin. Princess .May of Peck, on February
27lh, 1892. The time for the wedding was drawing near, the royal home
was ready, the wedding presents were constantiv arriving, the bridesmaids
had been selected, and their dresses of while and silver with may-
blossom trinmiing were being made, the Queen's dress had been
ordered, the foreign guests had been invited, and the whole nation was
prejiaring for the Royal marriage with great joy and excitement. For
was not the Princess May one of themselve;;, a truly English bride ?

But, in the very midst of all the g.iy preparations, the Duke of
Clarence was taken ill. At first it was hoped that it was only a cold
from which he was suffering, but in two d.iys' time he becime very
seriously ill. .All England was moved by the anxiety and sorrow of his
parents, of his royal grandmother, and of the ])oor young Princes May,

For a few days he hung between life and death, and all the nation
anxiously .iwaited the constant bulletins put out by the doctors. But in
less than a week after his illness began, the sad news of his death, on
January 14th, came as a heavy blow to the nation.

Nouveau deuil.

DepiMs la brillante et joyeuse f^te du Jubile, de nouveaux malheurs
sont venus attliger la Reine.

Le jeune Due de Clarence, nls aine du Prince de Galles, et par suite
heritier presomptif du trone, elait fiance a sa cousine, la Princesse May
de leek. Le mariage devail avoir lieu le 27 fevrier 1892. La date
approchait. Les pr''paratifs achevaient. De tons coles arrivaient de
magnifiques cadeaux. Les demoiselles d'honneur etaient designees. Les
costumes de la Reine et de la fiancee etaient pr5ts. Toutes les invi-
tations etaient lancees. Chacun se jircparait .i c^lebrer le mariage avec
d'autant plus d'allegresse que la fiancee elait une princesse anglaise.

Au milieu de lous ces joyeux apprfits, le Due de Clarence tomba
serieusement malade. On crut d'abord que ce n'etait qu'un simple
rhfinie ; mais, en deux jours la maladie fit des progrds terribles, et bient6t
son c-tat fut desespcre I On juge du i hagrin de la famille royale et de
celui de I'infortunee Princesse May de Teck.

Pendant quelques jours, le Due fut enlre la vie et la mort ; d'un bout
a I'autre de I'Empire britannique on s'informait avec anxiite de son etat,
et Ton commentait les bulletins des docteurs.

Peu de jours apr^s le debut de la maladie, le 14 Janvier, le Due rendit
I'ame, malgre les ardentes pri^res que la nation avait adressies au
Createur pour oblenir :ion ritablissement.

QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE

I think all hsarts must surely have been touched that day, and many
a tear must have been shed for the sorrows of the Princess May, of his
poor mother, and of the whole Royal family.

The Queen felt this sudden death of her dear grandson very keenly,
but, she roused herself to write a loving letter of thanks to her |)eople
for their sympathy shown at Ihiit sorrowful timr, that had comforted and
cheered both herself and his sorrowing family.

Tous les coeurs furent certainement peintfs de ce malheur et des
milliers sympathis^rent avcc la famille Royale et la Princesse de Teck.

La Reine ressentit tris vivement la perte de son petit-fils. Au milieu
de sa doiileur, elle eut cependant le courage d'^crire A son peuple une
luttrc de remcrciements pour la sympathie qu'il hii ivait tiSmoignee dans
le malheur, a ello et ,i la famille royale.

Marriage of the Duke of York.

The next great event in her family
nistory was one of gladness and rejoicing.
The Duko of YotV, the younger brother
of the Duke of Clarence, and who was now
in direct succession to the crown, w.is
married on July 6th, 1893, to the Priiuess
May, A warm welcome was given to the
Royal pair as they went through the
country after their marriage. The old
city of York was cs])ecially delighted to
see its Duke and Duchess, and many
loving hearts were lifted in prayer for
•Hem, that ihey might one day be King
and Queen of England, and might be a
great blessing in days to come to our
beloved country.

Prince Henry of Battenbcrg.

'i'lie last heavy sorrow wlucli lias befallen (J\ieen Victoria has been
the death of her much loved son-in-law, Prince Henry of Battenberg.
Princess Beatrice, the youngest of (he Queen's children, has always
been very dear to her. She was a very little girl when her father died,
and was her mother's comforter in that awful time of sorrow. She
would climb on her knee to kiss her, and to peep at " Mamma's sad
cap,"' as she called her widow's weeds, and there was nothing that
cheered the Queen so much in those s.ad days as the companionship of
her little daughter. There is something in the love of very young
children which is wonderfully healing in times of heavy sorrow, and
Queen Victoria made the little Princess her constant companion ; and
since then she has never been lung absent from her mother.

In the year 1885 the Princess Beatrice was married to Prince Henry
of Battenberg. They were married from Osborne, at the little ivy-covered
Church of \\hip|)ingham. The bride wore her mother'.-, Iloniton lace
veil, and had ten little nieces for her bridesmaids. It was not a grand
State marriage, but 11 pretty, English, village v/^nlding, in which the
little children of the place strewed flowers, and the villagers were
allowed to show their love and loyalty.

It was arranged that the bride should live with Iter mother as
Princess-in-waiting. Theirs was a very happy married life, and the

Prince Henri de Battenberg.

Le dernier chagrin eprouve par la Reine fut la mort de son gendre
bien ainie, le prince Henri de Battenberg, marie .i la princesse Beatrice,
la |)lus jeune aos fiUes de la Reine et sa preferee. La prince.sse Beatrice
ctait toute petite fille lorsque son pere mourut. Elle fut I'une des conso-
lations de sa mere en ces jours de tristesse ! Elle montait sur ses
genoux pour I'embrasser et, disait-elle, pour lui enlever son vilain bonnet
noir ! C'est ainsi qu'elle designait ses crepes de veuve I La princesse
Beatrice sauva la Reine et la rattacha a la vie. II y a quelque chose de
profondement touchant d.ans I'affection que temoignent certains enfants
aux jours de malheur et de cc fait est venu I'attachemcntde la Reine
pour la princesse Beatrice, dont elle a fait sa coinpagne assidue et qui ne
la quitte jamais bien longtemps.

Ce fut, en 18S5 que la princesse Beatrice epousa le prince Henri de
Battenberg. Le mariage eut lieu a Osborne, dans la petite cglise de
Whippingham enfouie sous les lierres. i^a fiancee portait le voile de
dentellc qui avail servi a sa miJre et avait six petites nieces comme
demoiselles d'honneur. Ce ne fut pas un grand mariage d'Etat, mais une
jolie noce de famille, a la campagne, 011 les enfants jonchdrent les routes
de tleurs et les villageois furent tout au plaisir, en manifestant de leur
loyaute.

QucL'ii, instead of having lost .1 daughter, had found a son, for I'riiui'
Henry was much atlachcd to her, and joined with his wife in doing all
he could to assist and comfort their royal mother.

It was a terrible shock to the (,)ucen, as well as to the poor Princess,
when there came the sad news of his death, whilst on his way home I'rom
West Africa. He h.id l)ee<i on an ex|ieJitioii with the English army into
Ashanli, and in that unhealthy <:ountry he was smitten with the terrible
fever, of which so many Knglish i)eo|)le have died. He was at once taken
on board ship, and it was hoped for a few days that he was really better,
but before they h.ad been many days at sea, a relapse came on, ami he
rapidly sank, and died very peacefully on January 20th, 1896. Since that
awful morning wlien the (Jneen had to break the news of her terrible
loss to her poor daughter, she h.is, if possible, been more dear to her
than before, for is she not passing through the same sorrow, and feeling
the same desolation which her mother the t^ueen has experienced
before her ?

I'rincesse de la conr. La vie de mariage lui fut heureuse ct la Reine, au
lieu de pcrdre sa fillc, avail trouve un fils de plus dans le Prince qui
I'aimait en la venerant et fit tout ce qu'il put pour alder au bonhcur de
sa royale belle-mire.

Ce fut un coup terrible pour la Reine, et ,)our la I'rincesse, lorsque
Ton apprit la triste nouvelle de la mort du Prince, au cours de son
voyage de retour de I'.Afrique ( entrale !

II etait parti en exiiedition avcc I'armec anglaise pour le pays des
.■\shantis. Dans ces regions inalsaines 11 contracta une fiiivre maligne qui,
d'ailleiirs, decima las troupes anglaises. II fut aussitot transporte a bord
dun navireet I'on cut d'abord I'esperance que la maladie ne durerait que
peu de temps. Malhcurensement au bout de quelques jours de voyage,
unerechuteseproduisit, et le prince mourut tres ralme, le 20 Janvier iSyff"

Depiiis le triste matin on la Reine se chargea de porter la fatale
nouvelle a son infortuntie tille, celle-ci lui est devenuc plus chire (pie
jamais, par sympathie de douleur, et maintenant que le mfime malheur
est veiiii afiliger la mere et la fille.

Thf mi'iunr.ililc year iSi;; has now (IiuvikmI. Virtciria Ali'xanilriii.i,
Qiivt'n of (ircat llritiiin and K.iiipri^s nf India, < niiiiilclcn llii' Hixlivth
year of her gloriDiis reign. She hiin now govcrnt'd longer than any
Knglish monarch. Her graiulfulher, (icorgr the 'I'hitd, only c dinpleled
lifly-niiic years of liis reign, .^hi' has,
therefore, now ont-lived hy ni.my
nionlhs the very longest reign in
Knglish history.

What a mighty Kmpire (Jiieen Vic
torin has at the close of her sixty
years' reign ! It has lieen calculated
that she now reigns over no less than
three liundreil and I'lfly millions nf the
huin.m race. Iler sniijei ts arc men ol
all colours — while, black, yellow,
brown, and red ; men of all religions
— Protestants, Roman ("atliolics,
members of the (ireek Church, Ma-
hometiins, lluiUlliists, and heathen ;
men living at all points of ihe i ciin-
pass — in the far North in Canada, in
the far South at Cape Colony, in du'
far Kasl in the great continenl of
.Australia, in Ihe far West on the shores of tlie I'acilic.

If all the subjects of Queen \'ii inria were to pass In procession
before her, and if she were to sii in liei i hair of state to receive their
homage, and if e:ich one were to stop belore luT just for six secmids to
kiss her hand, how long would It t.ike for that mighty procession of
three hundreil .iM(! hfly million^ to gi) by.' She would have' to sit for
eighty years beCoie the last man would be presented to her.

And not only has the numlur of the (Queen's subjci is marvellously
increased, but her name is now known ,iiid loved in .ill ipiarlers of the
globe. She is the I'roteclor of many vast land-, wluc h are beyond the
limits of her own dominions, 'I'he old and niightv land dI Kgypl is
sheltering under the care of her gov-
ernment; the lonely island of (.'yprus
is protected by her soldiers ; vast
countries in the great continent of
Africa.which sixty years ago had never
been heard of, now own her sway.

How little the young Princess Vic-
toria thought, on that memor.dile day
when her governess told her that she
might some day be Queen of iMiglaiul,
that her name would be known and
honoured in a part of the world which
in her atlas was then a bare space,
in the centre of that wonderful con-
tinent .Africa ! How little she dream-
ed that three mighty inland seas, in
that marvellous unknown land, would
bear the names of hersell, her hus-
band and her son — Lakes \'icloria
Nyanza, Albert Nyanza, and Albert
Edward Nyanza ! IIow little she
imagined that ambassadors from one
of these great unknown .African king-
doms, the kingdom of Uganda, would
undertake the enormous journey
from the heart of Africa to London,
in order to see her and secure her

of view his [losition is one of enviable

romance and power, frfim his < »n point

of view it is dtnibtless of unenviable

I'he I'rince of W.iles was bom No-
vember 9, 1S41, at lUickingham I'.ilace

His title at the moment of his li;rth.
as is the case with the videst son nf
every lirilish monarch, was Duke of
C'ornwall. Before the I'rince w.is fou'
weeks old lie was created I'riiu e ol
\\'ales and Karl of Chester, liv io\.il
patent, as the former of iIhsl titlt--
never passes l)y merely hereditary right.
bill is subject 10 fresh creation for each
liolder of the title.

The I'rince jMid his fust visit to Wales
in r,S4- and to llalinor.il in the following
year, i 1 ;lie spriiig of 1 ^ly the eJiicaiion
of the i'rince was ci ininitted to the

" Vour great .liiii .>h:ill be to bund up .1 liable and princely charac ter.
in intelligent symp.iih) with the Ijcsl movements of the age.''

.Strange tosa).the I'rince had visited Irel.ind. .Sc otl.ind .iiu! W.iles
and had made .1 iastmg f.ivorable impression upon the people of those
parts of the Kingdom before he was liroui;ht to jiublic notice in Kngland.
It was not until October ICS41;, that loyal Knglishnieii liad an opportunity
to sah.'te their future King.

On October 30 the yoimg I'rince and his sister — "I'us:, .nu. 'iie Doy,"
as the Queen called them, — went with their fathei in state Irom West-

wi'.h tlie masses, and it may be said without the slightest reservation
that he has from that day to this remained, all things considered, tlie
most popular man in England.

In August, 185,?, he had his t'irst introduction to the army, and, a month
or so lalei, to the navy.

In .April of llie same year the I'rincei if Wales made his initial appearance
in public life, silling beside the (Jueeii upon the 'I'hrc.i.e. Upon tl at occa-

In the summer of 1,^5;; the rrince
extended his travels bcvoiul the
l;orders of his own lands. He visited
France with his sister and parents.
That visit has become historically
eventful because Her Majesty was the
first Knglish sovereign to enlci I'aris
since the days of Henry VI. The
party was met at J)oulogne-sui-Mer
by tiic I'rench l-',mperor and es( orted
by him lo the beautiful palace of St.
Cloud.

Uiiting that visit the young Prime
saw 40,000 Krencli soldiers, the jiick
of the Kmperor"s s]ilendid army. He
also paid his respects to th.' numory
oflhegreai Napoleon, an act which
had made a jjrofound impression
upon the mind of the I'rincc, who
was as familiar with ilie leading
events of the w.ir with |''r,ini e as
though he had been a participant in
its battles. This visit lasted eight
days, and the I'rince became a
general favorite with the Parisians.

army and received the Order of the Carter. In the fall of that year he
continued his sight seeing on the Continent, his itinerary including
Germany and Italy. At Rome he was received by His Holiness I'io
Nono. S|)ain and Portugal were next visited, and in the following July
he returned to England.

In i860 the memorable visit to North .Vmerica was uiulerlakcn
primarily to fulfil a (iromise made by the 1 ^leen to the Canadians at the
time of the war with Russia when the roy.il Caiun k-- had sent to the
front a full regiment of infantry.

The I'rincc roccivud .1 sorie of magnil'iccnt ovations in Canada ami
siibscciiienlly cnlercil llic United States at Detroit. He travelled as Lord
Renfrew. .'M Hamilton, tlie last plaie in Canada at wliicli lie made .1
halt, the I'rince said: —

" .\ly (liilies as rejireSentative of the Queen cease this d.ay ; Imt, in a
private laiiaeity, I am about to visit before my return lionie thai remarkable
lai.d which claims with us a common ancestry, and in whose extraordi-
nary i.rogress every Knglishman feels a common interest. "

The genuine |K)pularity of the coming King of Kngland in tliis coinitry
da'. J from the day he made that graceful conclusion to a sjieech to
Canadians.

Once in every ye.ir the I'rince of Wales goes to Homburg, one of the
celebrated spas of Cjermany, where he takes the regularly prescribed
cured for a period of twenty-one days. Tliere he lives (piietely at a hotel,
living just as any other gentleman does, and walks .ibof.t the town,
fre(iuently entirely alone. It is eti(]uette at Homburg not to bow or take
off your hat to the I'rince unles.- you are ]icrsonally acquainted wiili
him. ami he is, tlierefore. jirecisely on the same footing .is any other
guest.

Le I'rince recjut en Canada tine magnituiue serie d'ovations et coiili-
iKia son voyage |)ar tine tournee au.\ Ktats-l'nis, oCi il cntra jiar Detroit.
11 voyagcait sous le nom de Lord Kenfrew. A Hamiltcjii, sa derniero
etape sur le sol canadien, il dit :

" Mes devoirs ccssent de ce jour, en tant que represcntant de la
Keine, ma Mire. C'est comme voyageur prive et sans caractiirc ofliciel
i|ue je vais visiter cette inagnifique contree des Etals-Unis, qui se
reclame d'une commune origine avec nous autres et aux progres de
laquelle toute r.\ngk'lerrc est iiileressee."

I.a popularite dii I'rince aux Ktats-Unis dal" dc ce jour iiK^morable ou
il fa cette gracieiise declaration dans son discours d'adieu an Canada.

Tons les aiis le I'rince de Galles so rend a Honibourg, une celebre
villc d"eau de I'.MIemagne, jiour y suivre un traitement de vingt et un
joilrs. La il vit d'uiic l'a(;on calme a I'hotel, en .simple particulier et se
promene en ville, souvent seul.

1. 'etiquette prescritc a Ilombourg est de ne pas s'occuper de sa per-
soiiiie et de ne pas le salucr, a nioins de le coiwiaitre persoiinelleinenl
etde lui avoir ete preseiite. Le Triiue tient a etre traite .1 I'holel comme
les autres pensionnaires.

The I'rince is always addresseil by even his iiilim.ite I'riends as "Sir."
I'or ex.imiile. on approaching, the eliipietie is to say. "Sir, good morning."
This i^ followed b\ one's ( on'.inually addre-^illg him > ' Sir " on every
and .ill other occasions. The I'ruice^^ is alw.iy,> iddressed as "Madam."
I'he Prince imi-.t always lead in conversation, and etiquette requires
vou to wait his addressing you before you say anything to him. In
other words, you cannot take upon a ' onversalion with him : he
must always lead the conversation.

# *

The I'rince of W.ile-^ 's i|uic k to see the signs of the times, and
extends a helping hand '.i all llie aspirants for a place ■ . society who ar..
deserving. Lor this 'iC has ', n criticised by the olil nobility, but he
is clever enough to understand that il is belter when the proper lime
arrives to help them to their desired goal.

He has .. tremendous hold on the affections of 'he F.nglish people,
and while at times he has been severely crilici.sed, something has
always occurred soon after to show that he has not forfeited his [ilaic in
t'le hearts of Knglishmen.

Kn parlant au I'rince, ses amis ra|ipellent " Monsieur." Ku I'a-
bordant, retiipictte veut qu'on disc : " Monsieur, boiijour !" Dans toute
la suite de la conversation on doit employer le mot " Monsieur" a
toute occasion. I.a Princesse se fait tonjonrs appeler " .\Iadaine."

Le I'rince doit toujnurs teiiir le ham de la conversation. L'eticjuette
veut (jue Ton attendc qu'il adresse la parole le premier. On ne doit
pas (piestioiiner le I'rince et c'est toujours lui qui dirige I'entretien.

Le Prince de (jalles est trt^ promjjt ;i saisir les signcs des temps et .1
tendre la main a cenx ([ui aspiront a se faire une place dans la soi iete.
La vieille noblesse, cntichee de ses ancOtres, I'a souvent criticjue pour
cela ; mais, le Prince est assez adroit pour arriver cpiaiul mOme a son
but.

II est profondcnienl aiine et estimc^ par le peuple anglais. Bien que
de frequentes critiques aient ete faites sur son compte. ,\ "M toujours
survenu, pen de temps ai>res. un evenenient heureux iiuelconque pour
dimontrerque sa popularite est toujours la mfime.

Ill informed persons take it for granted lh.it llie Prince is a gentleman
of leisure in the liter.il sense of llu- term, but .i~ ,1 m.ittrr of fact he is
far from being so. He is |irob,ibly one of the h.irdest worked men in the
world, for almost every moment of his life he is oc:cupied.

Presiding at various meetings .md public dinners, laying corner stones,
opening new buildings, attending militarv .md n.Lv.il evoluii<uis and
reviews, court ceremonies and other great tiinclions. keep him con-
stantly busy, lie is .ibi.iy-. pronipi to the seccuid and no one ever has to
wail for him.

.■\s a patron of dramatic art His Royal Highness has taken high rank.
His patronage of various London theatres has done much to make
many plays produced there successful.

Des gens mal infornies s'imaginent que le Prince est un etre oisil
d.ms la plus large acception du mot ; il est en realite bien loin d'en Otre
ainsi. II est peut-etre I'liomme ipii travaille le plus dans le monde et
tons ses instants sont occu|;es. II preside toujours (juelque grande
assemblee ou des banquets ; il po.se des ))remieres pierres, in.augure des
batisses, passe des revues de Tarmee et de la llotte, et enfin les devoirs
de la famine et de la Cour occupent tons ses instants. II est toujours
prompt a repondre aux appels et ne se fait jamais altendre.

.Son .Mtessc Royale aime beaucoup Part dr.amatiquc. Son patronage a
divers theatres de Londres a eu pourresultat de faire reussir plus d'une
piece.

'Ihe pDimlar account o\ the adop-
tion of leathers by the eldest sons of
Knglish kings, as their own peculiar
badge, is that the HIack I'rince, soi'
of Kdward III, conquered the ori-
ginal wearer of the crest, John of
laixcmburg. King of lioheiiiia, at the
held of Crecy, and ever afterward
wore the iiliniies in commenioraticui
of the battle.

It is most probable that the badge
was introduced] into Kngland by
I'hilippa of Hainaull, the (onsori
of Kdward III, and mother of the
black I'rince. .She was de cended
from the sister of Henry, Count of
Luxemburg, an ancestor of John of
liohemia, whose connection with the
legend is thus aicouiited for ; and
John's son, the Mniperor Charles IV,
bore an ostrich as his badge, as did
his daughter. .Xnne, the first (pieen
of Richard 1 1.

The I'rince has an annual iiu ome of more th.iii .$600,000.1)111 he has never
found it difl'icult to spend it all. -\ few \ears ag<j Parliament was asked to
assist the I'rince m paying off his indebtedness ; this request was not
made openly and in so many words, but under cover of a request for an
appropriation to enable the I'rince to make present.s lo certain Iiulian
Princes who had entertained him lavishly during his tour of India. Sixty
thousand pounds, equal to about $300,000 in Canadian currency, was
approjiriated.

In the matter of wines the I'riuce of \\ .ales is a " connaisseii. par
excellence.'" He has lasted, probably, every brand of champapne of any
virtue, and knows the good from the bad better I'erhaps than any man
living. His favorite beverage, however, is an Italian wine known as
" I.achrynia Christi." Of this fine wine the I'rince 1 onsiimes several
bottles daily, and while doing so he smokes from ten to twenty cigars,
that no dinibt arc worth smoking.

In eating it is commonly supposed tli.-.t the I'rini'e is a gourmand.
The truth is, he is a gourmet. Lvuulhis is believed to have been the
prince of good livers, hut if he were to come to life it is doubtful if he
wouUl be able lo give .\l'-rt Kdward any points in gastronomy.

QUEEN'S DIAMDND JUBILEE

The town life of the rriiicc Inis been often describetl. It is one
round of otlicial, semi-otficial and social duties, lie has often been
iieard to say tliat he wislieil there was less of it.

The Prince is at his best whe.i free from liarassing cares and
surrounded by a circle of his old friends at Sandrinf^hani. There he
lives the life of an Knglish country gentleman, tlie ideal sort of existence,
beyond doiibi. Sandringliam is a small vill.age in tlie country of
Norfolk. Norfolk used to be one or the liveliest and most prosperous
parts of the realm, celebrated for its agricultural and manufacturing
industries alike.

Tlie I'rince has a profovnid respect for the veterans of the wars in
which Hritain lias had a jiarl, and he likes to have them around him in
all sorts of capacities. The comptroller of his household, Sir Dighlon
Trobyn, is a hero of the Indian mutiny, one of the men who faced
death in its most awful form at Lucknow and who was looked into the
'• Ulack Hole of Calcutta."

« •

La vie citadme dii I'rince a ete souvent dt'crite. Elle est partag^e
entre ses devoirs officiels, semi-ofticiels et sociaux. Souvent on a entendu
le I'rince dire qu'il souhaiteiait avoir moins de devoirs a remplir.

()u le I'rince se trouve le Jihis heureux, c'est quand il est dibarrasse
de soucis accablaiits et entoure, a Sandrigham, d'un cercle de viciix
amis. I,.i il mtine I'existence ideale dii gentilhomme cainpagnard anglais.

Sandrigham est un petit village du coml6 de Norfolk, I'un des plus
aninies et des plus prosperes du Royaume. II est celebre par son agri-
culture el son Industrie.

• «

l,e Prince Kdw.nrd professe un grand respect pour les v^t^rans des
guerres auxquelles I'.Vngleterre a pris part. II aime a s'entourcr de ces
vieux braves sous un pretexte ou un autre.

Le surintendant de sa maison, Sir Dighton Trobyn, est un heros de
I'insurrection des Indes, un de ces hommcs qui ont vu la mort face a face
a Lucknow, et qui fut relcve du " HIack Hole of Calcutta. "
