physicians. The latter. it is reported.
have ordered the king TO cease social ac-
tivities and take a long rest, but the king,
despite the strain, refuses. His majesty
looks well, despite the reports, and is as
siduous in his efforts to make his reign
memorable for social splendor, never miss
ing an opportunity to display all the pornp
and ceremony Of his royal position.
1t Is said the strain Is telling on him,
and he manifests fatigue by mapping at
dinner. At the state dinner at Edinburgh
he not only mapped minute, but snored
stentoriously, while none Of the courtiers
dared to wake him.
His majesty is fond Of soc.al diversions.
the theater and opera. He likes to dis
play the pomp and splendid ceremonials
of court functions, which he gives as often
az possible. He dimes out privately free
quently. The king when going out to a
private dinner usually rides in an ancient
broughan, with a rather tseedy coachman.
The vehicle Is SO; unfaskionablea that no.
body suspects 1t Is occupied by the king.
The social pace the king maintains would
fatigue a New York cotillon leader half
his age. The queen also. it is said, gives
anxiety to the royal physicians on ac-
count of her increasing deafness. She Is
now reported to be In danger of becoming
totally deaf, despite the efforts of noted
specialists. Last summer the queen pro-
cured some relief from an American cleo
trical device for the cure Of deafness, but
apparently the malady has become worse
again.

 For years past he has worked ms source of wealth. The methods he em- ployed were somewhat crude but as the price of labor is very low in Mexico, Gen. Ochoa was able to extract the sulphur at a large profit.
 He was the owner of the highest mine in the world, for the top of Popoctepeu is r ,520 feet bove the sea, and the crater a cavity over half a mile in circumfer- ence, is only 250 feet deep. Above the crater rise two chief summits. the Pico Mayor and the Espina3o del Diablo.
 Gen. Ochoa's Indian laborers, TOT many years past, have been almost daily Ter down to the bottom of the crater in large baskets lowered and raised by means or A Windlass erected in the brim of the chasm. The annual yield has been about one hundred tons and the mineral is sup posed to accumulate in the crater at the rate of a ton day. However this may be, the sulphur deposits In the crater are certainly known to be much larger than they were when Gen. Ochoa began to re- move them.
 The mineral is brought from the depths of the earth by the ebullitions which are almost continually coming from the cra- ter mouth; so this volcano is source of sulphur which is constantly being re- nlenished and the new owners will have to remove the mineral in far larger quan- titles than has heretofore been done in order to keep pace with the fresh supplies that are coming to the outer air.

 The story of his acquisition of these sulphur deposits reads like romane,. We seldom hear that private individ- ual is the owner of a great and famous mountain. It is not exactly true to say that Gen. Ochoa owns the whole Of Popo- catepetl. for he has no title to large part of the mountain.
 The part of 1t that was conceded to him by the Mexican government is the entire higher portion rising above the
