The Heir to the British Crown Ig the Most Desirable "Catch" In the World To-day and All the Match makers Are Discussing the Possi- bifitiey Among the Princesses of Europe--Czar's Daughter Named. It is the habit of royally to mate early, and that is why the match- makers are already discussing the matrimonial posgibilities for the Prince of Wales. most desirable "catch" in the world, even apart from his heirship to the British throne, is a point that has been brought out in the disgussion, but his rank removes him from all calculations respecting ladies not of royal blood. There have been cases of royal British princesses being married to other than princes, as, for example, the Marquis of Lorne and the Duke of File, but while such matches were extremely popular, mt is not likely that the heir to the British throné would be permitted to wed oné of his fair countrywomen, since he will be ex- pected to marry for reasons of 'state rather than for reasons of sentiment, | This is not to intimate that royal marriages are not the result of affec- tion, for very often they are true ro- mances, but the Jove match is merely fnpeidental, and while it is not likely that a royal pair would be thrust into 4° union: absolutely hateful to them, | neither would they be permitted to let | their fancy rove where it pleased from { cottage" to Castle, There are two princedses whose i names, naturally occur as filling all {the conditions necessary for a mar- riage. with the heir to the British throne. One is the Grand Dlichess Olga of Russia, the eldest daughter of (the Czar; the other is the Princess i Victoria Louise of Germany, the only | daughter of the Kaiser | The Princess Olga is about the same age as the Prince of Wales, and is said to be a very pretty girl though not such a beauty as her mother, It is thought that a match between this pair would 'be very gratifying to both the Dowager Empress of Russia and the Queen Mother Alexandra. From a political point of view it is believed { that the match would be approved by {the present Government but opposed by the Unionists who have no great (fancy for further Russian alliances. | The King and Queen too it is hint | ed by those who are supposed to know, iwould not be favorably inélined, though it is not expected that they would actually oppose anything de- cided on by the Government. It is only natural, however, that in a mat- ter of this sort the wishes of King George and Queen Mary would have especial .welight. As regards the German Princess, it is said that as she has been brought up with a family of brothers, who are sll 'suppused to be anti-English, the young people would not likely be con- genial. Moreover, there are political objections to still further Germanizing the British ¢rown, That such a union would do much to wipe out the exist. ing relations between the two coun. tries which are far from being as cor- dial as might be desired, is claimed by those approving this match. It is doubtful, however, if these hopes would be realized by a mar. riage alone, for it is to be borne .in mind that the situation with regard to Germany and Britain has develop. ed with the grandson of Queen Vie- toria, the 'nephew of King Edward, and the cousin of King 'George, on {the German throne, and of the Kais- |er's deep affection for his grandmother {there never has beer any question. | Moréover, the wretched experiences of ithe British Princess who became the Empress of Germany have not been forgotten. Another charming princess against whom there could be no political ob- | jootions is the Princess Elizabeth of Roumsnia. This princess, is the daughter of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess of Rounfania and granddaughter of the Duke of Edin- burgh, who later became Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. She has been | brought up in English fashion, and her mother, "Carmen Silva," is un: doubtedly dne of the most popula. of the royalties that visit England, which is the land of her birth. A union between the Roumanian and the British crowns could hardly be of great advantage {rom a political point of view, but, on the gther hand, it would be free from the objections that might be urged against a match with either the Russian or the Ger. man princess. Princess Maud of i Fife, the youngest daughter of the | Princess Royal, is a lovely girl, and jis mentioned among the eligibles, {though she is the first cousin to the Prince of Wales, The British Constitution debars the Prince of Wales from marrying a Roman Catholic, although it does mot vent English princesses from tak- Roman Catholic husbands, as was the case with the Princess Ena, who .became ' the of Spain, and abandoned her religion.

One of the most interesting and re tiarkable - characters 'éohspicubus ii the political history of Canada is the Earl of Durlieam. Hé was Governor General of Canada for about five months, and he never held ancther post in the colonisl service, and yet he salved the preblem of colonial government and laid down the line: on whieh government in Canada has been carried on, almost from his time down to the present day'. and have been applied. not only to Canada, but to every self-governing dominion be- yond the seas. That they are self- governihg is because Lord Durham's doctrine has been accepted and pat into practice. Lord Durham's point ed the way, and other have followed it > Baldwin and Lafontaine are com only spoken of as the apostles of the principle of responsible govern: ment. And sc they were. They taught it to the people of Upper and Lower Canada, and won its acceptance at the polls. The Earl of Elgin put it int practice. And here is another link connecting Lord Durham with Cana. dian publie life, for the Earl of Elgin was the son-in-law of the Earl of Durham, and to the son-in-law fell e task of giving effect to the plan the father-in-law had designed. For other reasons besides that of being the foundation-builder of the true colonial policy, can the Earl of Durham be called a remarkable man. His character and hig work are the subject of a sketch by Mr. C. P. Lu: CAS, blished in a recent issue of The Royal Colonial Institute Journal Writing of the man, Mr. Lucas says that the Earl of Durham was 'made up of strangely contradictory ele- ments. He was an aristocrat of the aristocrats, and at. the same time a Radical of the Radicals. While he was a pronounced Radical he was a no less pronounced Imperialist. . . . The fact of his having been from child. hood master of a great inheritdnce, couple with indifferent health, prob- ably accounted for some of his char- acteristics, He was arrogant, over bearing and pompous, an uneomiort- able bedfellow for his colleagues." His achievements in the public life of Great Britain were not conspicu- ous. "He had, it is true, taker a prom- inent part in shaping the first Reform bill, and he was a recognized leader of the Radical Wing of the Whig Par. ty." The only political office he ever held in England was the nominal one of Lozd Privy Seal in the Ministry of his father-in-law, Lord Grey; and for two years he was Ambassador to Rus- sia. And still, writes Mr. Lucas, "he was beyond question a master builder; and yet he did not build himself, but taught others to build. . His name lives solely as that of the author of a most notable report on Canada. ." In his youth he had served in the army, For his entrance into the Low- er Canadian capital he put on the gorgeous uniform of a full general. Then mounting a white charger, and surrounded by a large and brilliant military staff, he rode through the streets of Quebec to the Castle of St. Louis, then the residence of the Gov- ernor-Generasl. When he rode out on subsequent occasions his staff. it is said, was almost as showy as that of an Eastern Prince. "The magnificent appointments of Lady Durham's drawing-room 'were a marvel; royal feasts were given at Castle 8t. Louis. And all the time Durham was half an invalid, confined to the house for days, with the shadow of his early death already upon him." A Safe Bet. He was showing his friends his new watch, made of the new metal, unbreakable--cost him six hundred dollars, His seven friends were dubious of its tensile strength. "Tell you what we do, boys," he said. "You put up five dollars cach against my six hundred dollar watch. I'll put it to the test. 1f it breaks I'll lose the watch. All you'll lose is the thirty-five." They didn't think it out quite clear- ly, but the wager was made. He hurled the watch against a brick wall. It broke into a thousand preces. "Well, boys, I lose the six hundred dollar watch," he said with a long face as he gathered up the money; they saw him do it. Knowing that all was not right they examined what was left of the watch; it wasn't even nickel-plated. T. Ambrose Woods, Toronto, whose hoyse Kelvin won the King's plate, tells the story; he was one of the contributors.---~Canadian Courier. Tired of Crop Talk. George Lane, president of the Cal. ary Horse Bhow, was entertaining Br. Rutherford, late Live Stock Com- missioner for Canada, in the guests' box at that show a few days ago. Mr. Lane introduced the doctor to a num- ber of friends, and in most instances the doctor received an invitation to do something which would keep him over a day or so longer. For inatance, uncan Marshall wanted him to inspect some of his demonstration farms, W. J. Stark wanted him, to fo _up to the Edmon- ton Spri orse w. The. ctor invariably replied: "Well, I would like to very much, but 1 must get out to British Colum- bia to get my crop in." After Mr. ne had listened to this a few times, he turned to the doctor and said: "MH you don't keep still about it, I will go out to your place this summer and stay a week and eat that crop." .

The Act That Won Edward Bell His ' Albert Medal. A London despateh reads: "The King has approved of the Albert me- dal of the second-class being conferred upon Edward Bell of the Canadian Copper Co. for gallantry in-connection with the disastrous fird in South Poreupine." . Just as many of the records of the possessors of the Victoria Cross oe- cupy in the official records but a few lines of space, so does this bald announcement of a richly-deserved honor fdil to bring before the reader any conception of the scene where Edward Bell proved his manhood, says Ben Hughes in Toronto Globe, It is strange that, When so many apocry- phial dramas of narrow escape were recorded during the horrible "fire at Porcupine last July, nothing was said of the escape of the little knot .of people round 'Mr. H. C. Meek's house at the Dome. It-is a matter of record now how from cone end of northern Ontario to the other the people had to flee for their lives and equally a matter of knowledge how brave men refused to own that they were beaten, and so endangered and in many cases lost their lives. At the Dome the week before the fateful July 11 they had had a tough fight with fire and had dug & reservoir in the centre of the property to supply water for the pipes that had been laid from one end of the property to the other. When therefore the fire leaped down on the Dome from the bush that hot after noon Mr. Meek and everyone else thought they were well prepared to meet it, and he and his staff fought it till the last gasp. He remained so long, in fact, that he did not arrive back at his own house, where his wife, his wife's mother, Mrs. Paddock, and his two children were, before the flames had leaped clear over the in- tervening space which had been clear- ed and set his house on fire. With him were F. Battersby, D. G. Bissett, L. H. Bolman and a man named Coop- er, all of the Dome staff. The fire raged around them, cutting off every chance of escape and for what seemed. eternities they huddled on the little grass plot near the rain barrels. When all appeared to be over, Mr. Meek says that he can just remember Seeing a face appear out of the smoke and a minute afterwards he felt a splash of water on his face. It was Edward Bell, who was ladling water out of the barrels with his old, soft felt hat. Then he lost conscious- ness, He learned from Bell afterwards, though the foreman carpenter of the Dome does not talk much about the incident, that when he arrived Mrs. Meek's ekirt and foot were on fire, and that he first applied himself to putting it out. Then, coolly and calmly, swhile the fire swept all living organisms out of existence all around him and the Hot air scorched the lungs, he continued to dip' into 'the barrels, souse himséelf and distribute the water impartially over the pros- trate figures round him. , The fire was at its height at two o'clock, at four the danger was over, | and Edward Bell and a few square inches of grass had saved seven peo- ple. They had'grazed death, but they were alive mainly because Edward Bell walked out a zone of compar. ative safety into a whirlwind of smoke and flame and for a full hour, never knowing when he would be roasted alive, with a level head and a steady hand, threw water out of his old hat wherever he saw a spark fall or a flame burst out on the exhausted fig- ures round the water barrels. Edward Bell still works at the Dome, and it is safe to say that the men who work for him and those who work with him know nothing of this story, for he is hot that kind of man; he acts, he doesn't talk. But Mr. Meek did talk, and he talked to Mr. A. R. Turner, the general man- ager of the Canadian Copper Co. at Copper Cliff: Mr. Turver took the mutter up whole-heartedly and laid the facts before the Carnegie Hero» Fund and the British authorities. A few day: ago the news despatches told of the honor Edward Bell had received at the hands of the King. and it is hard to see how it would be possible for a man to more deserve the reward and medal from Mr. Anp- drew Carnegie thay Edward Bell Ogle Carss, Smith's Falla, has sold two of his cottages on Rideau Lake tb Ottawa parties, One is located above the Narrows, the purchaser he ing E.

If you have hny cutaneous blemish, don't wse paint, powder or anything else to cover it up. Too often this only emphasizes the defect. Besides, it's much easier to remove the disfig- urement with brdinary merpolized wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradual ly remove freckles, pimples, black- heads, moth-patches, sallowness; red or yellow blotches, or any surface eruptions. The affected cuticle is ab sorbed, a little each dav, until the clear, soft, youthful and beautiful skin beneath is brought wholly to view.

"Would you have a blue bag, sir?' asks the attendant. Ten pounds eigh- teen shillings, you learn, will get you a bag and a wig, but a very ordinary wig it will If you are a barrister 'of 'rather higher pretensions, a king's counsel, you wan' something better. A king's counsel wears a court wig and silk gown. The gown costs from nipe to twelve guineas. The king's counsel whale outfit will cost possibly forty guineas including court suit, wig and gown. Such a man invests in the red bag of a king's counsel, while his bag of old he usually presents to a junior as a mark of respect. Later he becomes attached to a particular red bag and keeps it as long as he can. Judges have the wig and a green bag. Judges' wigs are substantially one and all the same and come to about thirty dollars. Most of these wigs are made of horsehair which is first colored a snowy white. It takes ahout a month to make a judge's wig, although the material can be got ready in six or eight days. The hardest part of the work 'is the weaving by hand, and even for an expert this is tedious. Ex- perts, moreover, are hard to find, for there are only three of these shops in the world, and all three are in London, Did Parnell Die? The simplest and only really effec. tive way to avoid all earthly troubles, is to die. Apd the next best method is to appear to die. History is full of instances of prominent men who, either to foil their enemies, or to avoid the consequences of some rash act, quietly disappeared and settled off in some far country after their faithful followers had buried them in effigy with full ceremony. Indeed, there is a story to the effect that Charly Stuart Parnell, the great Irishman, lived long after he had died. Throughout Ireland an impres- sion prevails among the peasantry that the celebrated leader and states- man, is still in the land of the living, and during the South African war it used to be related among the poorer classes of the Emerald Isle that he was identical with the elusive and my- It is alleged that Parnell, when he found that by marrying Mrs. O'Shea he had not made, but marred the posi. tion of the ambitious and ly brilliant woman to whom he had been | so devotedly attached; when he rea- lized that he could no longer rely upon the loyalty and discipline of his followers; and he ame convinced that his existence after the scandal in-connection with the O'Shea divorce constituted a source of weakness to the cause of his beloved country, which would derive advantage from hig disappearance-he resolved to van- ish, either forever, or at any rate un- til such time when Ireland had ob- tained her own government It is added that the coffin purport. ing to contain his remains holds noth. ing but a mere lay figure, or sand, and that, shaving shaved off his beard, he had made his escape in the guise of a priest without any difliculty whatever. A Weird Old House. There is an old manor house Knaresborough, England, parts of which were built 700 years ago. It is a fine place, with magnificent panel- ing in the rooms, a bedstead in which Cromwell once slept, a priests' hiding place and a ghost. The priests' hiding piace is concealed Wy a spring door. The present occupant of the house says that during the night sounds of footsteps are heard on the landing, and it is impossible to keep the door of this room closed. On one occa- sion the footsteps were sccompanied by a loud bump at the door of another room. During some recent restora. tions the skeleton of a woman was found buried at the foot of a stair- at f case. Roy®l Preregatives. Some of the privileges appertaiging to the royal prerogative extend to the king's household. His majesty cannot be arrested ow sued in the law courts, for "the king ean do no wrong," and no servant employed in waiting or at- tending on the royal presence can be arresied or taken in execution of a civil action unless the permission of the board of green cloth, which regu- lates the duties of royal officials, be first obtained. This privilege was not instituted for the personal benefit of the servants, but in order that the sovereign might not. be put to incon- venience by being deprived of an at tendant and also as a mark of respect to the throne.--London Chronicle.
