A youthful Duke.

The youngest duke in the world is Lem
ster, aged six-and-a-half, and as handsome
a yOuugster as ever wore the shamrock
mingled with ducaI strawberry leaves.
By the death Of his exquisitively beautiful
mother, this little fellow is now wholly
orphaned and his long minority will raise
the not too large fortunes OF the Leinsters to
the first rank in ireland, where the chief
estates are held. Two younger brothers,
also very beautiful children, are to be pro-
videdfor according to the usual precedentin
English rank, but it is the little duke

A Formal Protest From an EngIishman.
The average Englishman is public-spirited
and for the public good denounces any impo
sition upon himself, no matter how slight it
may be. Near the summit of the Rigi
mountain, in Switzerland, there is hotel
frequented by people who wish to see the
sun rise over the Alps. A complaint
book" is kept, in which travellers record
real or fancied grievances. Recently this
book was found to contain the following
entry: 81 desire to call the attention of
the management and the general public to
the fact that l have been up here two morn
ings for the express purpose of seeing the
sun rise from this mountain and that on both
occasions have seen nothing whatever but
clouds One failure to keep the under
standing with mean implied contract
might have passed over, but two failures
regard as a distinct imposition. J. Rob-
