rats, mice, and every variety of smaller vermin, that
it was uninhabitable, if habitation implies comfort.

MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS RoYAL-As the sub
Ject is one of much interest, we subjoin a briefmemoir
OF the bridegroom. Amid the general body Of Ger
man princes, Prince Frederick William Nicholas
Charles of Prussia stands high. He was born on the
18th of October, 1881, and is consequently in his
10Th year, and ten years the senior of his supposed
fGncee. He holds the commissions of major, a la suit,
OF the list regiment of foot guards, and chef and
colonel prOprietdire of other regiments in the Prussian
service. He is the eldest son and heir of Frederick
William, prince of Prussia, brother of the King, and
heir to the throne. Consequently, if the projected
marriage shall become un fat GccompIi, it may be
anticipated that the time is not far distant when the
throne of Prussia will be occupied by the Princess of
England. The prince is more Of a soldier than q
politician; but so far as his political opinions are
known, they are held to be in accordance with the
views of his father. According to the general report,
the prince is a person of gracious and conciliatory
manners, popular with the army and people, and the
favorite of his royal uncle. The lady whose hand is
about to be made the pledge of renewed amity with
Prussia, Victoria Adelaide Maria Louisa, Princess
Royal of England, was born at Buckingham Palace,
on the 21st November, 1910, and was baptized on the
10th of February following. From the well-known
character of her royal parents, it may be assumed
that the education, both moral and mental, of the
Princess has been watched over with unceasing
vigilance; and that every effort has been used to
excite in her mind principles and feelings that will
enable her to fill the high station to which she will be
called with practical usefulness and becoming dignity.
DIR. J. III. Warren, in q communication to the Bos-
ton Medical Journal, states that he has successfully
administered cocoa-nut oil to a number of patients in
whom pulmonary consumption has made rapid adj
vances, in some cases mixing the oil with phosphate
of lime and ~tincture of wild cherry. Or. w. expresses
his decided opinion that upon further using the cocoa
nut oil it will do as much or more for the consumptive
as the cod liver oil, not only in phthisis, but in other
diseases where the latter oil has proved beneficial,
and over which it takes the precedence, not only in
being more ~palatable and agreeable, but it does not
produce that nausea and unpleasant feeling that cod
liver oil does.
