And by the way, Mr. Hill's career sham 'embark- ing in bueineee in Crenbrook, has been a remarkable one. The Herald remembers when he opened up o little store in Kaake'e hotel, and went to Lethbridge every 10 or 15 days to renew his stook of sooka and underskirts. To -day he has in Oranbrook one of the float looking stores in British Colombia, filled with the beat of everything in dress goods, clothing and genre' furniehinge, another large afore in Moyle and now a mooed store in Oranbrook.

Victoria Alexendrina, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of In• die, was born at Kensington Palace, May 24th, 1819., She was the eixth sovereign of the House of Hanover, mad the only ohild of Edward, Duke of Kent, who was the fourth son of and e Georg I a the II., Princess Victoria Mary Louisa of Saxe. Coburg SaaIfieId, relict of the hereditary Prince of Leinidgen. Her father died in 1820. Neither George IV. nor his brothers having living legitimate issue, Victoria became heir -presumptive to the throne in 1880. ',, The young prino'ose entered court life at the age of 18, when she made her ap- pearance there as heir -apparent to the throne. At this age she had attained her legal majority, and was soon to be called upon to fill the role of sovereign of that aggregate of nations palled the British Empire. The ooronation of the young Princess was probably the first great event in her life. On Feb. 10th, 1840, Queen Viotoria married her cousin, Prune Albert. The wedding ceremony took place in the royal chapel of St. Jamie Palace. When Queen Viotoris came to the throne in 1887 the royal family had dwindled to meagre proportions. The Queen's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren livingto-day number 73, and the has lived to see the third generation of direot heirs to the British drown. Her Majesty's four sone aud five daughters are :-Empress Frederick, the Prince of Walee, Princess Alice, Grand Duchess of Hesse, Dake Alfred of Se,xe- Coburg Gotha, Prineees Christian, Prin cess Louise Marchioness of Lorne, Duke of Connaught, the Duke of Albany, and Princess Henry of Battenberg. The Queen has not escaped the human lot of sorrow, In 1864 her beloved husband died. She has not only felt file anguish that arises !rem the death of relatives and friends, but the nation's sorrows have been here es well. Of all the yeare of her long reign, the time when the flower of the British army seemed to waver on the South African veldt, appeared to bring her more grief. She was a woman of broad sympathies and tender feelings. During reher reign there eleven gn b Lord or Chau ellb c s, five Archbishops of Canterbury, :and six of York ; Canada has had ten Governor -Generale ; in the United States there have been seventeen Preeideats ; France hes had one King, one Emperor and six Presidents ; the throne of Prussia has boon booupled by five Kings, and Rutile has had three Emperors. During her reign alae she has witnessed the Statoomanehip of ten Prime Mfufeters:he S hoeP robablY aeon a greaterpanoramaof men and events than has any other personage. Da3Td3N'e NAW aoyutElex.
