The family of the Duke of Fife is of very
ancient extraction. Indeed it has been
asserted that he can trace bis lineage to an
earlier date than can be done in the ease of
his royal wife. Egthusiastic Scotehmen

Macbeth met his fate.. They were °Mated

. HE LOVED EIS MOTHER. ......
There was one most remarkable feature
in the Duke's character, and that was his
affection for his mother and sisters. He
continually turned the , conversation to
them and they were evidently always in
his thoughts. He quoted what they had
- a
said an spoke of what they :were doiug.
Thet, .often came to see him, when all
lunched together, and as they walked across

HIS GRANDMEOTHR'S FAVORITE.

Next to the Princess of Wales the cur-
rent of public sympathy rims deeply with
the Queen. ' The poor old -lady is dreadfully
upset by her favorite granason's death.

weather. It was the Queen who insisted
. . . .
upon ng Albert Victor the title of the
Duke of Clarence and Avondale, despite
the singular fatality attending ft. The
first Duke of Clarence, who was the third
son of Edward III., died from riotous living
in Italy. The Prince best known as the
Duke of Clarence was the unhappy perb.
ami
put to death in the Tower in 1478.
A NAME Or EVIL mum
The Duke of Albany held the title of Earl
Clarence. His • tinfortsumth death it few
years ago is within the memory of all. For
300 years the eitle was in abeyance, andwae
not revived until it was conferred by George
III. on his son, afterwards William IV.
•
He was the only Duke of Clarenee ' who did

reot die before' reaching 30 years of age.
With this fatal title on his shoulders Prince
