Correspondeinee Very Rarely; 'leaches Them, But is Dealt 'With by Private Secretaries. It would . seem for some reason !loyal personages the more liable than, any other notabilities to excite the love peep skin in. the hearts of utter strangers, if one 'may judge by the amount of correspondence of an amorous nature which pours into Royal palaces from unknown writers, an immense number of weak-minded people iiilagine them- selves to be ardently in hove with Roy- alty. Happily for the sanity of Kings, Princes, and Princesses, such corres- pondence never, or only very rarely, reaches those to whom it is addressed; but is dealt with by private secretaries and their assistants as mere ebullition of sentimental lunacy and consigned to the flames, But a. shall portion of these love -let. fers from irresponsible strangers 1 per cent., perhaps—receives a great amount of attention than might be i agined; and some of the writers of su letters give an infinitude of -trouble a annoyance to those Court officials whose duty it is to protect Royalty from pos- tal peers. In other words, it is notalways pos- sible to treat the love -letters with sil- ent pity or contempt, as it sometimes happens that the writers are SO MANIFESTLY INSANE as to constitute a real danger to the Royal personages to whom they ha given their wayward hearts. Su writers have before now perished their unwarrantable attentions during Whole periods of years, and finally be- come so violent in their language as to . necessitate steps being taken to obviate the possibility of their veiled or overt threats being carried into effect. In such cases as these the services of the tactful and experienced, detectives who devote their whole time to safe- guarding Royalty are requistioned. But although these matters are dealt with by the police, they never become known to the general public, for prosecutions do not eventuate, the foreign strange •s generally being persuaded to enter san- atoria, or are put under restraint :,y friends. So that, indeed, it frequently happens that the Royal personages who have been bombarded with amorous epistles for many months hear nothing whatever of the matter. Some years ago, the Prince of Wale then the Duke of York, was pursue wherever he went by letters from a English lady living in Berne. The fir few letters, being of the usual typ were simply ignored, but after a time tl lady began importuning His Roy Iligirness to make an appointment wits her, and to threaten that if he failed t do so she would conte to London an force herself into his presence. It then became necessary to act in th matter, and a detective journeyed t Berne to see what could be done. Th lady proved to be a single person o ntiddie age, in comfortable circumstan es, living in an hotel, and, apparently Sunlight Soap is Fetter than other Soaps but is best when used an the Sunlight way.

It is understood that the method of dealing with such correspon- dence at Madrid is to simply return the letters in plain envelopes, without coni- anent 01' remark, which is severe for so courteous a nation as the Spanish, Very many love -letters sent to the Princesses are written by senooTboys, er The Princess of Wales received a great nr- deal of attention of this description at eh one time, and no doubt, contrary to nu the rule many of the epistles reached her by sheer merit of their amusing character. One of the Princess's youth- ful lovers used to seize up on every pos- sible occasion, 0 such as her birthday, Christmas, and St. Valentine's Day 10 send her small gifts„ which were always accompanied by letters, and wnich were invariably acknowledged. The an- nouncement of "Princess May's" en- gagement was'a heavy blow to this ve young man—as, indeed, it roust have ch been to many others—for he wrote im- in ploring that the engagement should be cancelled, and urging the reason that he would be leaving school in six! months' time to enter his fathers efface, sa that he hoped soon to bemaking enough money to marry on.

CHILDHOOD DANGERS. Darri he oa dysentry, y 1y, cholera infan(um and stomach troubles are alarmingly frequent during the hot weather months. Too often these troubles become acute and a precious little life is lost after only a few hours illness. During the hot weather season every wise mother 5, should keep a box of Baby's Own Tab - d lets in the house to check these ills if n they tonne suddenly. Better still, an st occasional dose of this medicine will e, keep the stomach and bowels clean and le.. prevent these dangerous ailments com- et ; Ing. Mrs. John Lancaster, North Por - 1 tal, Sask., says: "My baby was attael:al 0 with diarrhoea and severe vomiting. r d at once gave Baby's Own Tablets and next day she was. as well as 'ever.

But directly he touched on the sub- ject of her letters her irresponsibility became manifest; she even declared that the Prince had PROMISED HER MARRIAGE, and argued that his marriage to the Princess did not preclude hint contract- ing a morganatic union. She consent- ed, however, to desist from attempting to see IIis Royal Highness or writing further letters for a time, and, the deiee- tive returned to London with the object 0f consulting her brother, a north-coun- • try solicitor. • But the infatuated lady must have had her suspicions, for she was seen in London two days later. Promptly .i watch was placed over her and her bro- ther sent for. Before the latter's arrival, • however, she succeeded in eluding the oflieer an watch, and, calling at Marl borough House, only to learn that the Prince was not in town, went to Sand- ringlaam. It happened, though, that His Royal 'Highness was staying in Scot- land. at the time, and on returning rd London from Norfolk, with the apparent intention of going north, she found her brother, a Court official, and a couple of doctors waiting her return to her Ito - tel. The upshot of it was she was car- t -Wed insane and placed in a private asylum by her brother. In the days of his youth Ding Edward used to have love -letters sent to him by the score, many emanating from Continental ladies. And it may here be remarked that Princes invoke far more love -letters from women than Princesses de from men. About nee year 1860 a lady, the widow of a French consul. conceived a most unwelcome passion for the then heir to the British throne, to. whom she had been introduced on some formal occasion. SCORES AND SCORES OF LETTER all breathing most fervent affection, were received from her, and for a long lime it seemed impossible to put a slop to the annoyance. Eventually, however, it corrected itself; she appeared` to re- cover her mental balance, and the cor- respondence ceased suddenly. A year or two later she consoled herself by tak- ing a second husband, Since he reached a marriageable age, particularly before his marriage, the Crown Prince of Germany wes Subject- ed to the some annoying nonsense, Am. erican actresses seeming peculiarly sus- ceptible to his charms, Shortly alter his visit to the United Stales It became. known to the Press that no fewer than seven charming and well-known actress es wrere retiliarly veritig to him, each With the idea of indrteing him to "name the day."

On Common Ground by Sydney H. Preston is a book of which one can speak wil.h unstinted praise. It is not often that one finds oneself longing to get back any book, but one has this sense lion with regard to this volume. It is a book difficult to drop from the first moment it is taken in hand and one to which -the reader returns with real delight. It is partly, one must ad - ]nit, because there is much fascination in the subject, but it is also because the •'narrative is so simple, lucid, satisfying: The book is full of pure, spontaneous, hearty- humor, with no trace of coarse- ness or boisterousness. ,1 very page is unpretentious, lively, racy. It is the most pleasant book of its kind we have seen for many a day. Mr. Preston is a Canadian, almost a Torontonian, living as he does near Oakville. "On Common Ground" is t is second lengthy work. His first book, "The Abandoned Farmer," received high praise from all sources. Canadians should be proud of this successful Can- adian author. )loth these books -are published by the Copp, Clarke Company, Toronto.. 4 THEIR PITFALL.'

The following is part df an article written by Alexander Dallos in "Busi- ness and Finance," a most reliable New York financial journal It gives some idea of what the people of the United States think of the Canadian Cobalt country "The ores of Cobalt are justly claim- ed to be the richest in the world and 0 c nslsts mainly .of Silver and Cobalt, with arsenic, nickel and, oecasfonally, gold. Think of shipping 100 ear loads of ore averaging over $300,000 per car. and all this ore taken from a depth of not over 50 feel! Selected car lots have gone as liigh as $60,000 to $129,000 per car and the average ore runs from $1,- 000 to $8,000 per ton. Geologists, ex- perts and mining men generally were loath to accept Cobalt as a permanency, but to -day no elms of men are more enthusiastic, for It is now proven that the deeper the shafts are sunk, the richer the ore becomes." Captain Harris, a man of world wide experience as a mining engineer, says: "1f you had asked one what 1 thought of Cobalt a year ago, I Would have told you that it was altogether beyond pre- cedent that such enormously rich values as we fines here at Cobalt could last to any depth. To -day every indica- tion from the entire section points to the strong• rr probability of�,,,eneraAy in- creasing values in depthethroughout the field. I came here very much of a pes- simist, but to -day I am an optiinist— made so by close observation of actual conditions. Cobalt will last for years and ]hake many fortunes." Up to the present time, all the proven properties are located in Coleman Township, and, though the work has been carried on in the crudest ewoy, many millions of ore Have already been shipped and large 'dividends have been paid, hi some cases as high as 200 per cent. To the investor, the Co- balt Mining Camp should prove parti- cularly interesting for, so far, no nine has been sunk to a depth of 30 feet without finding shipping ore, and the Alining Laws of Ontario are so strict that no "wildcat" schemes can flourish there. • ENGLAND'S OLDEST POSTMASTER • The honor of being the oldest post- master in England is claimed by Mr. William Scott, Carlton-in-LindriCk, Notts, who is eighty-three years of age. IIe was appointed in 1859, and at that time was also the village . school- master. For twenty-seven years he held both positions, but resigned that of schoolmaster twenty years ago.
