The Prince of Wales has muscular rheu-
matism in his royal legs, and his doctors say
that he must refrain from standing on them
Levity is far from our thoughts, but 1t occurs
to us that if this is the case, and the Prince
finds it necessary to stand, he Will have
to stand on his head. But why should the heir
of the British throne stand at all Surely he
of all folks, can afford to sit still and wait till
his legs see fit to return to their former state
of health But-fhore seriously speaking-cer-
tainly thousands of people even outside OF the
British Empire will be glad to know that the

popular ballad Of The May Queen. The first
OF May, according to that tender poem, finds
the season so far advanced that it is not i'm
prudent for young people to celebrate the ad-
vent of the month by dance, queen-crowning
and other diversions out of doors. Let Tenny-
son put an annex on his immortal ballad warn
ing candidates for Queenship that May is often
az tickle as April that when over fortnight
old she may be as decidedly wlntry as bitter
cold and heavy snowfall can make her.
