Fell From the Height.
The English papers which have always
objected to what they style American
personal journalism, this week descend
ed from their heights of criticism. ana
contented themselves with publishing long
detailed accounts of what the Prince OF
Wales eats and drinks on public occa-
Sions. According 10 the authorities cited
by the papers, the prince has always been
a moderate eater. He invariably requests
that the dinner shall not be prolonged
more than an hour, ana never permits
more than three toasts. Special d)shes
are always provided for the prince, who
drinks two bottles of his champagne ana
rarely samples the wine provided tor the
other guests.
The prince, according to the same au-
tIority, also brings a case of his own
cigars with him. These are very large
and ars made for mis- own private Use
