ROYAL ~INTERMARRTAGE
Bad Results of ''In-and-In"
COnnubiality in Europe 80.


We hear the most alarming antici-
pations about the health of the King.
The report is going about everywhere,
and it finds some sanction in the fact
that the king has lost within a com
paYatively short space of time a broth
er and a sister from the fell disease
which, according to popular rumor, he
believes to be threatening his own
life. Three of the late Queen Victoria's
children died during Victoria's life
time, and one other, the late Queens
eldest daughter, widow of the late Ger
man Emperor Frederick, died only a
few months after the death of her
mother. An interesting article which
I have just been reading in the Dub
lin Freeman's Journal, the leading
newspaper of Ireland, insists that one
main cause of the illnesses which at
present affect so many royal houses in
Europe Is to be found in the fact that
"the sovereigns of Europe have dis
regarded the great law of nature
which discountenances the marriages
of near blood relations" The article
goes on to tell us that while there
are in Europe over a score of emper-
ors, kings, and minor reigning sover
elgns " . all but two ara descend
ants of James l. of England, the only
child of the marriage of Darnley and
Mary, Queen Of Scots" The King of

Sweden, who, as every body knows,
is the descendant of Marshal Berna-
dotte, one of the soldiers whom the
great Napoleon raised from the ranks
and set upon a throne, and the Prince
of Montenegro, who became a sover-

all, are almost the only exceptions.
The result of this condition Of things
naturally is that European Princes
and Princesses are compelled to marry
in and in" IL / may use that col
loquial expression when dealing with
such a subject-in other words, have
to find their marriage consorts in fam

their own. At present there is hardly
a European imperial or royal family
which is not oppressed by serious OF
boding illness of some kind, and it is
only reasonable to say that some ex-
PLANTATION Of the fact may be found
in this system Of intermarriage. 1t is
certainly a curious historical fact that
the dynasty of the Stuarts, in many
way the worst dynasty that ever
ruled over England, should have left
so many descendants among the reign
ing houses of Europe.-Justin McCar-

Mascot or
X HOOdOO?



Longfellow has made the Luck Of
Eden HALF known throughout the Eng
disappearing world-the story OF the
glass goblet which holds the fate of
the Musgrave family; and equally well
known, almost, is the Coltoun Pear"
which carries the fate of another noble
English family. But there are other in
animate objects which are believed to
exercise an influence over the peerage
besides the pear and the Luck" To be
a real first chop" nobleman one really
needs a family ghost and a family mas
cot or a hoodoo-it doesn't matter
which. The modern crop of family
ghosts and mascots is not at all equal
to the demand and are not of much ac-
count anyway. Who cares for a mod
ern family ghost? A family ghost in a
plug hat and %swallowtail coat is simply
ridiculous, but one in armor is more
to be desired than pearls and rubies.
The Countess of Cromartie recently
had a startling and heart-breaking
reminder of a legend connected with
her family. According to this legend,
if a certain stream on the family es-
tates was diverted from its course, the
property would fail to descend in the
direct line of succession. A short time
ago, while ome alterations were being
made, the course of the stream in ques-
ton was temporarily changed. This
was followed Dol by the death of the
only son of the Countess, a baby only
a few days old. Lady Constance Mac
kenzie, the champion amateur lady
swimmer" is the mex heir. A singular
working out of an old hoodoo was ex-
emplifed by the death in South Africa
recently of Lieut.. Percy Forbes-Leith.

occurred near shore, the mattress was
eventually hooked in, and the passen-
