the United States before continuing the tour
around the world which seems nowadays to
constitute part of the education Of every heir to
a European throne.
King Leopold was particularly anxious that he
should include in his itinerary the Congo Free
State, for the purpose of representing His
Majesty at the inauguration of the Matadi-
Leopodve Railroad, Leopold himself having
abandoned his long-projected trip to Africa for
the purpose. But the mortality of the European
officers Of all grades and ages in the Congo Free
State during the last two three years has
been so phenomenally large that both Prince AL
berts parents. the Count and Countess Of Elan
ders and the Ministers of State made the
strongest representation to the King concerning
the unwisdom Of permitting the only heir to the
Belgian throne besides the Count of Flanders to
run manifest risk. SO Africa will be left
out Of the tour.
Prince Albert is a bright. clever lad with fat
and rather pleasant face. ard Of delicate health.
Indeed. his constitutional weakness has resulted
in his having grown somewhat awry, a physical
defect which. however. he manages to conceal
with considerable skill.

school revenue collected from her is
not quite 5000 more thau tn S

is that her school population is not in
