I md I have boen thinking of no> thing.but the Duchess ever since th*t 1 point of contact 1 at the Becfiption per bl«e eyes, her sweetly modulated voice, her gracioae manners, her sim plicltyV have qtsite captivated my thought and imagination. Dear old Aunt! Tib had a goo'i place on the jnailway platform, but missed the joy ®t beiag presented, she said it would ba re»lly wicked of her to upend money on & train and yet—the unsei fish old dear encouraged m« to sptmd money on mine 1 She never wenrfr-s of talking about these Royal '■■ Person- Ages, and is no* s. little annoyed that newspapers and magazines *re prais ing th* Ovsohpt-3 ra< m than the Duke e««>n in inaie castes oomparing them, to fear advantage, which A_nty deoiarrii is r very bad form indeed, and very Unfair, her enthusiasm goes oat moists toward His Eoyal Highness.

To have to weigh your words constantly, and even then to ccc ridiculously trifling remarks echoed from newspaper to HBw«p»pßr, have silly comment* upon them, li quite enough to make any man melftnch >ly. She is particularly indignant at one periodical, which re marked eraloßisfcicaliy upon tfa< loyal demoDitratioat df the people, for this prince who had never • done anything in particular, never written a book,* and no on.

Few of oar loftiest atateiinen, oar Ohftthsmi, oar Palmer efconß, oar Burkes would have carried their public spirit across the threshold of their own household,but iti the circle of royalty^ bow of fern are family rela tions, political relations %nd household problems also national. Aunty thinks it might be very delightful to be a Prince for a month or so, btit for those who Hast w«sr the purple for a lifetime, let all leal hearts and tree, pray fervently, that the corooet may not press too heavily, or the leaden weight of ceremo nial and custom be heavy as frost, and deep almost as life, Aunty says that Ingland has not been witboafc a beloved princess for many long years. She has been telling me a great deal of the much beloved Princess Ghwlotte (I'm sure you never heard of her before, did you 7 Who was the 'nations hope' before the little Prineeas Victoria' came upon the historic stage.

A SURPRISE INSPECTION BY THE KAISER

Ths Doily Wmos Berlin correspon dent writes ;—-It may be remembered thai when the Emperor was at Kiel a week mso ago to attend the entrance of hit son, Prince Adalbert into the Stivy, he made a rarpme visit of In speeMGSJ afe midnight on board the trainiogsiiip Charlotte. The following anaoelng panioalar* have now become known. Some time after eleven o'clock In the evening^ a vessel was seen ap proaching the Charlotte. The watch bailed her, aod learnt that she was th» Halda, with His Majesty aboard. Im mediately one of the men on duty fl*w downstairs to rouse Captaia Toilers, the Commander who hurried on deck. There, however, what he saw appears to have convinced him that there was bo intention on the Emperor's part to come on board, and he therefore re turned below, only a few minutes later to receive notioe that His Majesty was on deck. He ascended the stairs hastily, but half way up was met by the Emperor, who greeted him with words ; —" Good evening, ValiprSj bow are you ? " The Kaiser was shown the rooms alloted to Prince Adalbert on deck, and those of his governor, Cap* tarn Lieutenant yon Amnaon, and glanced at the cabin on the battery deck, where the newly joined cadets were sleeping in their hammocks, the room being illumined by electric light. " I can hardly believe, " said the Kaiser, *4 that tbe c-tdeta can sleep in this brilliant light," " CerUinly, your Mafesty, " answered tho Com mander j " they are tired after this hard day's work." "We will just see if th<?y ar« really asleep," said t&e Kaiser, somewhat Incredulously. He shook 6bs nearest cadet somewhat roughly, and he awoke, " Well, do yon sleep as soundly here ac at home V the Emperor asked of the astonished sleeper. Ihfl cadet recognised the disturber of bis slumbers at once, and Answered promptly, " Better, your Majesty," The reply apparently pleased the Emperor, who left etpi!in«. and was rowed back to the Kaiser Wilhelm 11.

My heart would throb violently with the slightest exertion."..My nerves were all upaetand my joints were swollen so I " All the doctors foiled to cure me and 1 was completely discouraged. A friend then per suaded me to try Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla and Pills. In a few days I felt better and it took only two bottles of the Sarsaparilla to restore me to complete health. "Mt husband has taken Ayer's Sarsaparilla with the greatest benefit, toe. It cured him of indigestion, ceneral debility, and purified his blood whenhe was suffering from boils. " I have given Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla to my children with the most wonderful effects. It keeps their blood pure, builds them up, and makes them strong." This is the testimony of Mrs. Julia Osborne, Grand Junction Road, Kose water, Adelaide, So. Australia. She sends us her family photograph, which we give above.
