The mystery deepens. The crown I has all the evidence at hand, as he says, but he does not lift the veil so that one can soo things as he does, Meanwhile public feeling is running high, and the. demand is that the attorney-general investigate all the facts, In the opinion of the judge the offence of the accused was of the most abominable kind, and yet he goes without any check, save the re- buke which was given by the bench. Abortion is a crime which cannot be condoned under any circumstances, and the public conscience in this case, is not to be stifled by any plausible performances.

The responsibilities and cares of state weigh heavily upon the individual, and the wonder is that Vic- toria's reign' was so long and remark- able, in view of the many anxieties which came to her as the head of a great empire, The school children are invited to contemplate her character and her place in history. At the same time they are invited to contemplate the extension of empire, to 'comprehend its size, ite government, its laws and in- stitutions, its superiority when com- pared with any other nation. The king today rules over 400,000,000 of subjects, wesiding in Burope, Asia, Af- rica, and America, and -held together by a bond of the heartiest loyalty.'
