The restless activity of the Prince of
Wales is simply amazing. A peep at
his monthly diary of engagements
would appall most men. What with
levees. drawing-rooms, public dinners,
balls, presiding at music exhibitions
and Masonic meetings, laying corner
stones, visiting hospitals. shooting off
into remote shires to open docks, tun-
nels and bridges, assisting at the erec-
ton of statues to statesmen, warriors
and poets-what with these functions,
to say nothing Of looking in at horse.
cattle and flower shows, steaming down
to Windsor or Osborne to confer with
his Queen mother and turning up
promptly at most of the premieres at
the dozen or so London theatcrs he in
variably attends, one would reasonably
infer that the Prince of Wales is not
only as busy as a bee, but never has a
minute to himself. Doubtless the par
tial retirement of the Queen throws a
great deal of social routine work upon
him, but he is equal to the demand.
He has been known to leave a
ball at three a. H., and be in
the train equipped for a shooting
expedition q hundred miles or more
away from town the same morning at
$3.50. But there is one evening of the
week that the Prince reserves to him
self, and no amount of influence or in
triguing will induce him to engage
himself to any formal function, no mat
ter how important it may be, on that
night. 1t is his might off," and on
that occasion it is quite understood
among his "set," as his little knot of
intimates is termed, that he is to enjoy
himself sans tacon. He dimes early with
his family and then the night is his
own, and he usually visits his personal
friends. Alfred de Rothschild is the
Princes most successful host. He is
generous, cultivated, possesses great
wealth, and his fine house is museum
of the loveliest and costliest art treas
ures. He has the advantage of know
ing most of the amusing people OF Lon
don. He knows most of the pretty
actresses and the reigning beauties Of
society, and all in good time he is
made aware of tho coming of his royal
guest. Now and again M. de Roth
schild will engage a great violinist like
Joachim, a pianist Of the Rubinstein
genre, or singer such as Faure or
Capoul, to take part in the festivities.
But in general way the performers
are the honored guests of the host and
expect neither fee nor reward. Brook

1Etl4Il Talked Abouts


Some people are so fond of notoriety
that they are willing to make great per-
sonal sacrifices to attain it. 1t is un-
questionably weakness in human
nature, and can be endured, provided
it causes no harm. A few are silly
enough to confound notoriety with
popularity, and eccentricity with
| genius; others, more silly still, gladly
make themselves ridiculous in order to
attract attention. The dudes, and all
others who assume the outre in dress,
belong to this class. Some are lifted
into notoriety by an in-rolling wave of
circumstances, then fret to find them
selves stranded when the wave recedes.
Some glory in notoriety obtained
through the most foolish avenues for
it, such as paying an enormous sum
for pew, a painting or an opera ticket,
a heavy subscription to charity fund
or expensive dinners to prominent
men. Their vanity is fattered, and it
scarcely matters to them if there is
nothing either creditable er lasting
about it. Tho paragraphist has his
cpigrammatic fling at them; they are
bounded and interviewed, and if they
do not eventually sigh for retirement
it is because they are either too vain or
too stolid. The man who has become
noted through sheer merit is seldom
afflicted with vanity. He simply ex-
cepts the praise rendered him, conscious
| that he has deserved it. 1t stimulates
him to renewed effort and enables him
to seem self-contained. Persistant
homage wearies him, and he often
yearns for less publicity. Aware Of
the demands which are made upon the
tim e, energies and resources of many
of our public men, we often think of
them in a commisorating way.
The man must be at times envied bv
them who goes to his quiet home at
night-fall. with the work of the day
completed, sure to be disturbed by no
untimely visitors or impertinent
inquiries. If he happens to make a
blunder, or say an injudicious thing,
it is not proclaimed to the world and
magnifed until it is made to look like
a crime. He can indulge in his little
peculiarities, in politics and theology,
without being dragged before the in
QUESTION of public opinion. He rejoices
in his placid lot; he lessons his respon-
sibilities; no interviewer dares to hold
HIM to an account. He does not envy
the notorious man; he will not go out
Of his way to make Obeisance to the
popular man; he doesn't yearn to

Medical Testimony OH the HeaIth-De.
strOying Effects of Drink.
1t has been ascertained that in men
peculiarly exposed to the temptation
of drink the mortality before thirty-five
years of age is twice as great as in men
following similar occupations, but less
liable to fall into the fatal habit. 1t has
also been shown that the rate of NOR
tality among persons addicted to in-
temperance is more than three times
as great as among the population at
large. At the earlier periods of life
the disproportion is still greater. being
five times as great between twenty and
thirty years of age, and four times as
great between thirty and fifty. The an
nual destruction of life among persons
of decidedly Incorporate habits has
been estimated at upwards of 5000
males and nearly 700 females, in a pop
ulation of nearly $4,000 males and up
wards of II 900 females addicted to in
temperance. That is, of males the
death-rate is So per 1000 per annum,
and of females 63 per ZOO perannum,
while the general death-rate of the
whole country and at all ages, is only
% per 1000. The greater number of
these deaths are due to delirium tre-
mems and diseases of the brain, and to
dropsical affections supervening OIL
diseases of the liver and Kidneys
Hooper's Physician's Vade Mecun.
An Incorporate person of twenty
years of age has probability of life
extending to 15.6 years; one thirty
years of age, 1873 years; and one of
forty years to 11.6 years; while the
person of the general population of the
country would have like probability
of living 44.2. 36.5, and 2S.S years re-
spectively. Some curious results were
shown in the influence of the different
kinds of drinks on the duration of life;
beer-drinkers averaging 2l.7 years;
beer and spirits indiscriminately 16.1
years. These results, however, vert
not more curious than those connected
with the different classes of persons.
The average duration of life, after the
commencement of Incorporate habits.
among the mechanics and laboring
men, was 18 years; among traders.
dealers, and mechanics, IL years;
among professional men and gentle-
men. 10 years; and among females. IL
