Queen YictOria's Health,

The health of her Majesty the Queen
can never fail to be matter of supreme
interest to all classes of her subjects.
The nation is ut heart animated by a
loyal concern for the personal happi-
ness and welfare OF its tried and trusted
sovereign. The people are stirred with
feelings of mingled reverence for the
throne and affectionate regard for its
present occupant. 1t is no mere figure
Of speech to say that Queen Victoria
lives in the hearts Of those she rules
over. II is, therefore, not in the least
surprising that the notification of her
Majesty's projected visit to Mentone
should have excited much remark and
given rise to some anxiety. We believe
we are justified in stating that, while
there is need for the change, there is
no cause for concern as to the health of
the sovereign. 1t seems to have been
forgotten that the Queen is no mere
nominal head Of this empire. Actual
and heavy state business passes daily
through her hands and taxes her atten-
ton severely. Her Majesty has never
been in the habit of attaching her sign
manual to unread papers. She ascend
ed the throne in times of difficulty and
with strong sense of the duty and
responsibility imposed upon her, and
during the heightened period which
has elapsed since her ascension the
Queen has given large share of her
attention to public business. Success
sive Ministries have been formed, borne
the heat of the day, and fallen, leaving
their personnel to seek and find relief
and recreation in retirement, but the
Queen has never been free from the
burden of state since she first wore the
crown. 1t is real burden her Majesty
bears, q burden, care and anxiety,
and no human being could fail to feel
the continuous strain the bearing of
such a burden necessarily producee.
These facts should not be forgotten.
The need for change of scene and eli
mate just now is great, but not in any
sense ominous. II her Majesty is able
to enjoy period of perfect repose in
retirement, she will doubtless return
with renewed strength to the discharge
of her duties at the fitting time. Mean.
while the people of this country should
understand that wearing crown or
welding scepter is no child's play,
even with constitutional government.
