Though much has been said and justly
or the Queens gentleness and self-abnegatlon
1t must not be supposed that she is weakly or
without a will Quite the contrary. Such popu-
lar1ty as hers is great power. and she knows
1t we'll, and takes to herself the position that
naturally follows. She leads fashions because
she has the courage of her opinions on
dress, and she has the Same more personal
points. Her will, when she has seen cause to
assert it, has been powerfully felt on sundry
occasions. In performing public functions she
knows that she is like the bride at Wedding
the real centre of attraction-and she takes the
lead with almost unconscious and graceful
yet decided air, that puts the others around
quite in the background. On one occasion, the
COMMITTEES of a wOmans hospital, having asked
her husband to become it's patron. were a little
snubbed by receiving rOte from her secretary
saying that such application ought to have
been made to Her Royal Highness and not to
the Prince. In fine. there is just enough self

Nor should the narrative omit to mention the
enthusiastic welcome which he received in Ire
land at his last visit to it in 1885.
The income of the Prince was settled in the
year of his marriage. On the proposal of Lord
Palmerston. it was decided to grant His Royal
Highness 10000 a year and 10000 for the
use Of the Princess. the Duchy of Cornwall be-
ing expected to produce, in addition. annual
sum of 100000. This estimate has been ex-
ceeded. with the exception of two or three years,
for the last quarter of a century. The Prince

Sandringham is the Princes home. It is his

THE PRINCE.

The Prince of Wales was taken seriously I'll
with typhoid fever in December, 1871. Day
after day the condition of the Prince grew
worse. and the anxiety in the public mind in
creased. on December 10 prayers were offered
up in all the churches for his recovery. On
the 18th hope was almost abandoned and then.
on the evening OF that day. he had CLEAN OF
consciousness and recognized the Queen. From
that moment the fever abated. and the tension
in the public mind which had been strained to
the utmost. gradually lessened.
The recovery Of the Prince was tedious. How
ever, the strength which had been lost grad
ualy returned and the Prince was again able to
leave his house as well as his room. 1t was
then considered fitting that there should be a
day Of public thanksgiving for his recovery and
that the course followed should be that pursued

and more impressive The impression upon
those who were the chief personages in the pro-
cession is rendered in the following letter which
the Queen sent to Mr. Gladstone. and which ap-
peared in The London Gazette for March /:

the Queen TO say how very deeply touched and

REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT
The victorian reign was unique, not only in it's
duration. but also in its character and the rec
ord Of its deeds. Single events there may have
been at other times in the worlds history. even
in that of Britain. of greater Importance than
any within its span. But not in all the centuries
OF recorded time have any other sixty-three
years been so filed with achievements influenc-
ing the course of human progress as have these

the world at large 1t is also true of the British
Empire itself
During Queen Victoria's reign there was
great expansion of British territory In addition
to what IS best known about are TO be
ranged various small holdings and islands
such as Hong-Kong and the islands of the
Pacific, which too minute on the man
to be indicated by shaded spaces but of

given In Asia important additions to the
Empire have been made. Between 1887 and
1898 the territory Of ScInde Of the Sikhs. Tan
tore, Lower Hurmah, Nagpur Sattara Jhansi
and Dude were brought under British dominion
In the latter year all British India was trans
ferred from the British East India Company to
the Crown. And since that date Upper Burmah
the Shan States. Beluchistan. Manpur and
Chitral have been annexed. Nor must the little
but enormously valua ble territory of Hong h Ong
be forgotten as one Of the acquisitions Of the
reign. Passing from Asia 10 Australasia. even
greater changes have occurred. Before 1897
New South Wales and Tasmania were the only
organized colonies in that region. and the rest
OF the great islands were practically unknown

OF the world. Fiji. part Of Borneo and Of New
Guinea and many smaller island groups are now

map. In the Western Hemisphere there have
been few changes in territorial lines. British
title 10 the Northwest Territory has been con-
flrmed and the Of British Guiana some
what enlarged. The development of the Do
minion of Canada has. however been almost
equal 10 the discovery and annexation Of a new
continent. Finally. In Africa there has been
stupendous progress Sixty years ago Great
Britain owned Cape Colony and two three

she has acquired in the southern part Of the
Dark Continent the territories of Natal. Basuto-
