HE. PRINCESS OF WALES. The Most Popular Parsonage
 in Great Britain.
HER REMARKABLE YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE
Income or her Father Before he Became
 King of Denmark.

The Princess of Wales is the most popu- lar parsonage in Great Britain. So far as the institution of royalty is concerned it can be truly said of hcr that her life is the most valuable ill the kingdom. So long as she lives her popularity will be sufficient to keep the cause of royaly well protected from popular innovation. I have tried to obtain from those who know the Princess of Wales well the secret of her great popularity. She is not a brilliant woman. she has never written anything, and in conversation she never impresses any one with the idea of htf having any particular originality or striking force Of character. In ordinary society, without the advantage of her position, she would make but little impression She is ex- cessively ladylike and refined She has most marvellous beauty, which chiefly consists in regular features, fair con- plexion and perfectly serene and placid expression.
 The most remarkable feature of her good looks is the preservatit of her youthful appearance. In the broad glare of daylight she looks today as young if not younger than her eldest daughter. Her figure is also slim and slight as that of young girl She dresses with ex- quisite taste and appears to enjoy general society very much. The secret of her popular charm is said to be this: She has the rare and gracious faculty of impress ing people who come in contact with her in the casual meeting of general recep- tion or levee with her genuine cordiality. People who have been presented to her and who have simply seen her bow and smile, and perhaps have heard half dozen words of commonplace greeting, are the ones who are the most wildly en- thusiastic over her. Her bearing before the public constitutes her chief charm. Every one is led to believe that she is the most gracious and winning parsonage in the kingdom. It is this outward sugges- tiOn upon the part of the Princess of Wales of brilliant graciousness that has captivated and thoroughly charmed the British public. Those who know her best say that a more intimate acquaintance "ibA1 iSA NOSo AAOS DSsAI Oul blS puDIlS estimate. She is thoroughly refined, ac- cOmplished and self possessed. but is not interesting in a general conversation.
 While l was on the continent last month heard a number of interesting stories concerning the early life of the Princess of Wales. These stories are not particularly new. and do not propose to allude to them except to give the exact income of her father before he was called to the throne of Denmark This prince lived in the most obscure poverty for a number of years. He had an income of exactly S1,2OO year. There were five children to be supported and educated from this beggarly sum. The young ladies of this household learned to cook, to sew and to do all kinds of housework They were obliged to make their own dresses for many years. No members of any family so obscurely placed nave risen to more brilliant positions than this Danish family. The head of the family became the king of Denmark. His oldest son is, of course, the crown prince of that country. Another son is the king of Greece. His three daughters are the Princess of Wales, the Czarina of Russia and the Duchess of Cumberland.-T. c. Crawford in New York World.
