Prince Albert of Monaco iuherits
his good qualities and talents from his

Monaco Charles III. is now totally
blind. How sad it is that this Prince.
whose castle is situated in the most
picturesque spot on the face of the
globe, poised like an eagles nest on
the summit OF "A steep rock washed by
the Mediterranean, can not enjoy all
these beauties. | asked Prince Albert
why this little territory called Monaco
had escaped annexation to some pow
erful neighbor. why during centuries
it has preserved a special character.
"Of course, the situation is excep-s
tional,n answered the Prince. "but the
cause of Monaco's prosperity is not its
geographical situation; seek for 1t
rather in the hereditary diplomatic
skill of its rulers. Since 96S the house
OF Grimaldi has reigned over this
country. and from the fifteenth cent
ury, at least, all the Princes of Mona
co have aimed at consolidation. In
the sixteenth century Charles V. took
the sovereignty of the Grimaldis under
his protection, and in the following
century an alliance with France ac-
centuated the independence OF Monaco,
an independence that came distinct
after 1915. In 1859, however. there
was danger for the principality, and
then appeared my father, Prince
Charles. Then he was forty years old,
had received his education in Paris,
and had already given proofs of great
intelligence. With great zeal he
caused every event TO turn in favor OF
Monaco.
To-day Monaco needs aid from no
country, its diplomatic corps is known
to the entire world. its commercial re-
lations with foreign countries are well
regulated, its money, struck with the
head Of the Prince. is current every
where, and an order Of chivalry has
been ereated--perhaps one that has
the greatest value because OF the diff
Guilty with which the decorations are
bestowed. Although blind, tho Prince
of Monaco manages the affairs OF his
government with perhaps more skill
than any other chief of state.
