HENRY OF BATTENBERG.
Queen victoria's SOn-in-Law Saves Thre
Persons from Drowning.

Queen victorIa's Son-in-Law Saves Three
Persons from Drowning.
Prince Henry of Battenberg, whom
the Queens loyal subjects delight in
calling "our German burden" has COW
cred himself with glory and caused his
revilers to come near acknowledging
that he is a pretty good fellow after all.
The cause of this change of feeling is
as follows: Battenberg has been at
tending the Queen like a dutiful SON
in-law. While the chubby little Prince
of Wales is enjoying himself on the con-
tinent squeezing his roly-poly form into
innumerable new uniforms that cost the
Queens subjects loads of money, the
royal fashion-plate, Prince Albert Vic
tor, is devoting his time to the task of
purchasing red and blue scarfs and
high collars, and Prince George is
making love to American Duchesses, the
humble German Prince, who has moth
ing but his pay for the job of being the
husband of the Queens daughter, re-
mains at Osborne or Windsor, the only
male representative of the family near
her Majesty One day Prince Henry,
as is his wont, went hunting alone at
Balmoral. On his return to the castle
late in the afternoon his attention was
attracted by cries for help coming from
the direction of a small but deep lake
near by, where the attendants at the
castle were in the habit OF boating.
Battenberg ran to the scene W hence
came the cries and saw two young
women and a child struggling in the
water. Their boat had met with an
accident and went to the bottom.
Quick as a fash the German Prince
divested himself OF his heavy hunting
coat and accouterments and plunged
into the water. The child. little girl,
was on the point of sinking for the last
time, when Battenberg grabbed her by
the hair, and then, with the other two
women clinging to him as best they
could, he brought the three safely on
shore.
The young man said nothing about
the rescue when he returned to the
castle, but one OF the young women,
governess, told the story to one of her
friends. and it finally reached tie
Queen. 1t is said that her Majesty
has magnanimously allowed her heroic
son-in-law E100 more per year, which
the people will have to stand. Henry
may also get the Colonelcy of some
Highland regiment. He is now only
a Captain. Cor. N. Y. Press.

The Cost of All Attainment.

Hard work is the cost OF all attain
ment that is worth having; yet, while
every body wants the attainment, only
now and then one is willing to do tha
hard work that is essential to its secur-
ing. So IL comes to pass that the
measure OF mans prospects OF at
tainment, is, practically, his willing
ness to work hard and tirelessly. No
man works harder than great genius.
II more men were willing TO work as
hard as the man OF genius, more men
would be credited with the possession
Of genius, because OF their achieving
results which are supposed to come
from the inspirations OF genius. s.

In Paris there is reporter who plays a

he does # most assiduously. Once on their
track he never takes his lynx eye of them.
Night and day, note book in hand, he follows
them up. But not with the same object as

patriotic motives He is, in fact, on the look

Up TO the present he has succeeded in bag
ging two victims, whom he concluded were
emmisaries Of Bismarck in disguise, because
they never passed French soldiers without
looking at them, and kept up q mysterious

VINO STOLE MACKENzIES BOOKI


There is n great mysteryto be cleared up
in London, another besides the White
chapel murders. II is as to how or in what
way a copy Of Sir Morcll Mackonzie's book
was stolen from the locked up ware-room
Of Messrs. Sampson, Law, Marston & Co.,
publishers. Mr.. Marston, the managing
partner Of the great house, is in n guam.

nant. He says Of the publication in the

Daay NtuS) that lowing 10 the omission
Of some important intervening passages,
they give most inaccurate idea OF the con-
tents OF the book. The way in which par
agraphs which have no natural connection
whatever are strung together produces the
most misleading impression, and IL is the
greatest injustice TO me. The errors
in the text afford the most con-
elusive evidence that the thief cop
led many pages Of the book and did not
supply the actual printed sheets, To the
public, however, large part OF the book
will be quite uninielligiblc without nu-
ncrous illustrations, which the robbcr had
not an opportunity to flch." This will pass
for indignant comment and protest. But
DR.. Mackenzie himself is not wholly blame

Mackenzie is in a great state Of mind about
this latter breach Of confidence, for il
