The carriage which King Edward and
Queen Alexandra aye now using in their
progress through the streets of London
has its body very high from the ground,
and there is no visible step for entering
or leaving it. There are steps. but they
are folded up inside the carriage doors,
and only let down when needed for the
purpose of entering or descending from
the vehicle.
The hanging of the carriage so high
above the wheels, and IN particular, the
absence of steps when the landau is
in motion, are mainly due to a desire to
protect the royal occupants from dan
ger of death or injury at the hands OF
regicides or oranks. Few people save
those who have taken the trouble to
study the matter are aware OF the extent

1t is said that the palace at Achilleion
is about to be converted into a con-
valescent home for ipyalided Austrian
officers, on the same lines as Osborn, in
the Isle of Wight, which, it may be re-
membered, was recently presented by
King Edward 10 the English nation for
the same purpose. The funds for the
maintenance of the projected institution
are to be provided from the treasury OF
the rich military order of Maria The
resia. which possesses an immense in

AT present the place looks rather like

which, according to the people of the
island, dates from the day of the as
sassination of the Empress at Geneva,
rs well as the withered aloe plant. which
was such n particular favorite of the
Empress, and which, according to local
reports, commenced to droop from the
moment of her death, serve to
strengthen the impression.

| could cite innumerable other cases in
modern and ancient times, comprising
the murder of King Henry ~ OF France
and the attempted assassination of King
Louis XIV. of the same nation, to show
that whenever any attempt has been
made on the life of the sovereign when
driving, the carriage step has almost in
variably played an important part in
the matter of enabling the assailant to
get within striking distance. That is
why the state landau which the King
and Queen are occupying in their prog
ress through the streets of London to
Guild Hall is so high above the springs,
and has no steps that are visible.

COURTS AND CAPITALS
OF THE OLD WORLD.

There is one thing King Edward can
not do, and that is borrow books from
the world-famed Bodleian Library at
Oxford. which is Just celebrating the
three hun6redth anniversary OF its open
ing in 1902. One of the statutes pro-
hibits the loan of the books. Charles
is on record as having, while at oxford,
sent request to the library for the loan
OF volume, the request being indorsed
by the vice chancellor of the university.
Thereupon the librarian went to the
King and showed him the statutes,
which. being read. the King would not
have the book, saying that it was fit
that the will and statutes of the founder
should be religiously observed
The same course was taken when
Oliver Cromwell wished to borrow a
manuscript for the Portuguese ambassa-
dor, and the lord protector" of the
brief-lived republic of Great Britain and
IRELAND was also pleased to defer to the
statutes, while commencing the pru-

Young Albert Fairfax, who has just
gone to England from this country for
the purpose of assuming the title of Lord
Fairfax, which his forebears laid aside
at the time when King George III's colo
nies were transformed into the United
States, would be treated with much dis
tinction If he were to attend the festiyi-
ties in connection with the tercentenary
of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, which
has attracted scientists and men of
learning from all parts of the world,
for it was due to his famous ancestor,
the second Lord Fairfax, that the library
and it's contents were not destroyed in
a huge bonfire when the royal forces
were driven from Oxford during the
civil war
All arrangements had been made by
the local Puritans to consign the library
to destruction on account of cts large
number of Papistical and idolatrous
writings" Fortunately, General Lord
Fairfax heard of it, and to anticipate
their intentions proceeded, as soon as
he entered Oxford at the head of the
parliamentary forces, to place very
strong guard of soldiers around the
library.
